    Improved charcoal technologies and briquette production from woody residues in Malawi 2018

    Access to modern energy in Malawi remains low and is often limited to relying on traditional biomass sources such as fuelwood and charcoal. Sustainably sourced biomass and more efficient technologies can contribute to reducing the energy access gap and making energy access more sustainable. This case study presents opportunities lying within technology improvement and a specific set of woody residues’ bioenergy supply chains. The case study illustrates the steps required to assess if the selected bioenergy supply chains can contribute to mitigating unsustainable use of biomass, while improving access to sustainable energy.

    Evaluating the impacts of promoting coherence between disaster risk reduction, climate action and social protection in Malawi
    Baseline analysis and programmatic implications of a Farmer Field School approach

    The project “Promoting coherence between disaster risk reduction, climate action and social protection in sub-Saharan Africa (Malawi)” aims to support poor and vulnerable households to strengthen their resilience to climate change and climate variability through social protection (SP) and the adoption of proven climate-smart agriculture (CSA) practices blended with disaster risk reduction (DRR). FAO Malawi leads the implementation of the project in two targeted districts of Mwanza and Neno, targeting 2 400 farmers, some of them being beneficiaries of existing SP programmes. At community level, the project is implemented through the farmer field school (FFS) approach and delivered through 80 FFS groups located in 74 villages.To evaluate impacts of the project, we use a crossover design to compare the relative merits of its different components and combine various evaluation methods. This is a baseline report on the “Promoting coherence between disaster risk reduction, climate action and social protection in sub-Saharan Africa (Malawi)” project.
