Resumen
Descripción
Malawi is perennially susceptible to various natural and economic shocks, including prolonged dry spells, floods, pests and diseases, and high food price volatility. These have eroded the resilience of most poor and vulnerable households, and compromised their ability to sustain their livelihoods. The project aimed to increase the capacity of the most vulnerable households in two Traditional Authorities of Chiwaloand Jenalain Phalombedistrict to meet their basic needs and withstand climatic and economic shocks. This was to be achieved by building community/livelihood assets by targeted households and communities; supporting and implementing resilience programmes in coordination with humanitarian assistance; strengthening the capacity of agricultural extension service providers, vulnerable households and communities; and implementing community-based nutrition education and communication programmes.
