The Nkhotakota District Executive Committee (DEC ) has approved the implementation of the Climate Adaptation and Resilience for Communities through Malawi Humanitarian NGO Consortium Project by Njira Impact in the district.
Funded by the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO), the eight-month project will reach 15,000 people in Traditional Authorities (T/As) Kanyenda and Katimbira, strengthening communities' ability to anticipate, prepare for and respond to climate-related shocks.
The project will strengthen community-based early warning systems, improve access to timely climate information, support anticipatory action and strength disaster preparedness at community and district level.
Welcoming the project, Nkhotakota District Commissioner (DC) Ben Matengeni Tohno noted that it has come at the right time, particularly given the district's experience with recurrent floods and the need to strengthen early warning systems and anticipatory action to help communities prepare for potential climate-related shocks such as the forecasted El Nino.
The project is being implemented through a consortium led by Help Africa, with partners including , , the Children, , , , and Impact, with Njira Impact leading implementation in Nkhotakota district.
