Description
SMART CLIMATE - Sustainable Malawian AgRiculTure to enhance resilience to CLIMATE change is a 36-month project to be implemented in two districts of Malawi, Karonga in the north and Nkhotakota in the central region. The overall objective of the action is to contribute towards improved resilience of communities in central and northern regions of Malawi to unpredictable climate challenges and pandemic consequences. More specifically, the action aims to enhance the capacity of communities in Karonga and Nkhotakota districts to stabilize their food and nutrition security, generate sustainable livelihoods, project and safeguard their livelihood assets against the effects of climate change and the pandemic. The project was developed based on data and information shared from recent studies, the experience of consortium members, and the conclusions of an assessment conducted in February 2021. The intervention strategy aims to promote change at the individual, community, and institutional level through: 1. Enhancing the technical knowledge of the target groups on different aspects, including conservation agriculture techniques, nutrition best practices, business management, the use of meteorological data to take informed agricultural decisions; 2. Changing collective beliefs that traditional practices are always better than the ones based on scientific data, instead of complementing each other; 3. Strengthening capacity at individual and group level to put in practice the knowledge they have acquired; 4. Enhancing collaboration and coordination among actors within and outside the target districts, closing the gap between individuals, service providers, community groups and the otherkey stakeholders allowing people to choose among existing and promising opportunities. The project plans to reach 50,597 people (50% women, 5% disabled) including farmers, most vulnerable households, volunteers and community experts, members of savings groups, members of cooperatives, and other community groups.
