In a bold move towards continental unity and prosperity, Community Initiative for Social Empowerment (CISE) Malawi, in collaboration with Africans Rising, is spearheading a groundbreaking initiative advocating for a borderless Africa.
In an interview with 247 Malawi News, CISE Malawi Team Leader Davis Damson said with the vision of fostering integration and empowerment, the initiative aims to transcend boundaries, both physical and bureaucratic, to unite African nations under a common goal.
“At the heart of this initiative lies a vision for a more interconnected and cohesive Africa.
“The core objectives include advocating for visa-free movement, the adoption of a unified currency, and the elimination of passport requirements.
“These measures are poised to revolutionize the way African nations interact, trade, and collaborate, ushering in an era of unprecedented growth and development,” said Damson.
He explained that the anticipated outcomes of this historic march are nothing short of transformative.
He said:”Policy changes, such as the implementation of visa-free travel and the adoption of a unified currency, will not only enhance economic cooperation but also foster a sense of unity and belonging among African citizens.
“Moreover, the elimination of passport requirements will promote seamless travel and cultural exchange, further strengthening the bonds between nations.”
According to Damson, as Africa stands on the cusp of a new era, the call for a borderless continent resonates louder than ever before.
He said with the unwavering commitment of Malawi, Africans Rising, and local NGOs, they are witnessing the dawn of a new chapter in Africa’s history—one marked by unity, integration, and prosperity.
“As the march gathers momentum, the world watches in anticipation, knowing that the winds of change are blowing across the African continent,”explained Damson.
Operating in Mchinji since 2012,CISE Malawi is a local non-governmental organisation that educates and empowers young people to create solutions to the challenges they face in their lives.
The organisation addresses child marriage by providing girls with a network of peer educators, female teachers and other female role models to encourage them to pursue their education.
