September begins on an agroecological note, and it feels special! Together with our partners and , we’re excited to be part of the 2026 Agroecology Week at Crossroads Hotel, Lilongwe. This week brings together government, civil society, private sector, and farmers, all sharing skills, knowledge, and building collaborations. The Guest of Honor MacPherson Nthala the Deputy Director for Land Resources Conservation Department in the Ministry of Agriculture, highlighted that agroecology is not merely a collection of farming techniques, but a holistic, science-backed, and community-centred paradigm for food system transformation. He further said Agroecology bridges indigenous ecological wisdom with modern scientific research. CARD’s Executive Director Melton Luhanga highlighted: Agroecology means working with nature, protecting soils and biodiversity, and building sustainable livelihoods. As NCA-DCA and partners we’re ready to take agroecology to greater heights. Stay tuned as we share more from the conference, through the lens of our farmers attending the conference. The journey toward value addition is just beginning!

On Tuesday, we hosted a technical mission from DG ECHO, led by Perpetua Musanhu Sigauke, Programme Officer Operations - Southern Africa & Indian Ocean (SAIO)to support the cross border ZIMALI Project, a multi hazard cash, protection, and crisis response initiative for vulnerable households in Malawi and Zimbabwe. In Malawi, the project is implemented by EAM and FOCESE in Nsanje’s TA Makoko (April 2026–April 2027), targeting communities facing climate shocks, displacement, protection risks, and food insecurity. Discussions emphasized timely humanitarian assistance, access to protection services, and preparedness for forecast climate shocks, with strong coordination among stakeholders including community structures. The visit was a valuable moment to reflect on progress, risks, and strategies to strengthen readiness. We remain grateful to DG ECHO for its continued technical and financial support.

Unable to finish school because his father lives with a mental illness, Joshua Ngosi turned to fishing, but life on the lake was unpredictable. At 20, he defied the odds, joined the Mwenelondo General Farmers Cooperative, mostly patronised by elderly members, and embraced farming. He says they accepted him and nurtured him into a successful farmer. “The cooperative changed my mindset. I learned that farming is not just about planting crops. It is a business that requires planning, investment and discipline.” Today, Ngosi cultivates 9 acres of groundnuts, runs three motorcycles as business, and built a decent home. Most importantly, he now supports his father’s medical care with pride: “Being able to help my father gives me great satisfaction,” he says while thanking Danida for the financial support to SPRODETA through NCA-DCA. He further says the cooperative has taken farming business as a cross generational path to prosperity.
