dc.descriptionThe FAO project “Building climate change resilience in the fisheries sector in Malawi” (the FiRM project, funded by the Global Environment Facility), aimed to build climate resilience in Malawi’s fisheries sector, focusing on Lake Malombe’s vulnerable fishing communities. This region faces significant challenges such as overfishing, ecosystem degradation, and increasing climate-related risks. The project began implementation in 2017 and involved climate information dissemination, policy support, and capacity-building efforts to enhance community resilience. The final independent evaluation of the project rated it as Mildly Satisfactory overall. While the project successfully raised climate awareness and supported co-management practices, challenges emerged in sustaining institutional ownership and in delivering lasting climate-resilient practices. Recommendations include streamlining FAO processes, for FAO Malawi to engage in policy influence, strategy in the fisheries sector in the country and promoting local governance capacity, and supporting more business-aligned interventions that meet community needs.
