Youth Hub proudly took part in the “Mainstreaming the Third Sector as Partners in Implementing RMK13 & ASEAN SDG-SSE Roadmap Workshop.” The event marked a pivotal moment in Malaysia’s journey toward inclusive and sustainable national development, as envisioned under the 13th Malaysia Plan (RMK13).

The workshop brought together diverse stakeholders — including representatives from civil society organizations, government agencies, academia, and the corporate sector — to engage in insightful discussions and formulate actionable strategies that strengthen the role of the Third Sector in driving Malaysia’s development agenda.

It was a truly meaningful and constructive platform for collaboration, where ideas converged around the shared vision of an inclusive, equitable, and resilient Malaysia.

At Youth Hub, we believe this initiative represents more than just a workshop — it is the beginning of a national movement to mainstream social innovation, empower communities, and foster sustainable partnerships for positive change.

As we move forward, let’s continue building a Malaysia MADANI — one that is inclusive, sustainable, and people-centered. Together, we can shape a future where every voice contributes to the nation’s progress.
