In September 2024, with support from the U.S. Government, ROLC began the Advancing Justice for Workers (AJW) project in Malawi. ROLC is implementing the project in partnership with the Malawi Congress of Trade Unions (MCTU), the largest federation of trade unions in Malawi, to reinforce the ability of Malawian mining and manufacturing workers to organize, self-advocate, confront abuses, and push for reform on both an operational and policy level. AJW will support workers through several initiatives, such as convening a National Labor Dialogue, engaging community liaisons in target districts; providing direct legal assistance to workers; involving stakeholders in idea generation to support informal workers; developing effective advocacy strategies targeting employers, regulators, and policymakers; building the capacity of trade union leaders; and promoting media dialogues and journalism training.
