Resumen
Descripción
In addition to its high vulnerability to climate change and variability, Malawi also has low capacity to adapt to the phenomenon, with the subsequent impact therefore posing a serious developmental challenge. In this context, the European Union’s Global Climate Change Alliance (GCCA) programme financed a four and a half year programme with FAO to address community resilience to climate change in Malawi through the present Action. The Action was aimed at strengthening the resilience of vulnerable communities to climate variability and change through sound safety nets and productive investments, using a holistic approach that blends disaster risk reduction (DRR) and climate change adaptation (CCA), addressing the multiple threats to livelihoods through short and medium term interventions. It was designed to consolidate linkages and synergies among ongoing resilience building and social protection programmes led by the Government.
