In 2008 the Maintenance Projects became independent. Our objectives are: To improve health and sanitary living conditions of vulnerable rural families, To increase access to maintenance services of water points, To increase protected water points’ functionality rate. Main activities We act at 2 levels: To insure the maintenance of Afridev and Malda pump in the villages thanks to a network of Area Mechanics: This Area Mechanics are trained and equipped, Malda pump They are independent workers but practice reasonable prices for communities, We insure a monthly follow up of their work in order to support them and to develop and evaluate the activities in the district, We work with officials and communities to inform them on existing services for maintenance. To improve the availability of spare parts thanks to a network of partners shops: Selling points are selected and trained on pump maintenance, hygiene and stock management, We organize the spare parts supply system We monitor the sales Geographical situation The maintenance We target other 6 projects are operational districts before 2012: in 5 districts in Malawi: Chiradzulu district, Dowa district, Dedza district, Lilongwe district, Kasungu district, Mchinji district, Mulanje district, Salima district, Ntchisi district, Zomba district.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106- 1346 2 ABSTRACT This thesis presents an interpretation of nyau masks of the Chewa people in the central region of Malawi. Theoretically, ethnography in the thesis is informed by text interpretation as in the writings of Paul Ricoeur (1979). Texts in the thesis include the inscription of a performance, narratives of ritual events, oral discourse, and the masks themselves. Masks as texts include form, color, imagery, portraiture, construction and materials used, naming, roles, and movement; and the discourse about these. In the thesis masks are inscribed in their various roles as they are performed in funerals, initiations into the nyau society, and funeral remembrance dances. Each Chapter develops one context of masks and masking, ending with an interpretation of that context.

  • Malawi Orientation Manual

    Malawi Orientation Manual

    Full Name of Republic of Malawi Country Population Malawi is home to roughly 19 million people. 84% of the population lives in rural areas. The life expectancy is 61 years, and the median age is 16.4 years (one of the lowest median ages in the world). Roughly 50.7% (2014 est.) live below the international poverty line. Time Zone GMT +2 (7 hours ahead of EST in the winter, 6 hours ahead in summer) Capital Lilongwe Ethnic Groups The African peoples in Malawi are all of Bantu origin. The main ethnic groups ('tribes') are the Chewa, dominant in the central and southern parts of the country; the Yao, also found in the south; and the Tumbuka in the north. There are very small populations of Asian (Indian, Pakistani, Korean and Chinese), white Africans and European people living mainly in the cities. Major Languages The official language of Malawi is Chichewa and English. English is widely spoken, particularly in main towns. The different ethnic groups in Malawi each have their own language or dialect. Major Religions Most people in Malawi are Christian (82.6%), usually members of one of the Catholic or Protestant churches founded by missionaries in the late 19th century. There are Muslims populations primarily in the south and central region (13%), especially along Lake Malawi - a legacy of the Arab slave traders who operated in this area. Alongside the established religions, many Malawians also hold traditional animist beliefs (2%). President’s Name In 2014, Peter Mutharika of the DPP followed his older brother Bingu wa Mutharika’s footsteps to become the current Malawian president.

Maliro, and Allena Laura Njala Lilongwe University of Agriculture and Natural Resources (LUANAR), Crop and Soil Sciences Department. P.O. Box 219, Lilongwe, Malawi. Abstract M.F.A. Maliro, and A.L. Njala. 2019. Agronomic performance and strategies of promoting Quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa Willd) in Malawi. Cien. Inv. Agr. 46(2): 82-99. Quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa Willd) has the potential to contribute to Malawi’s food and nutritional security by adaptation to droughts that have become frequent due to climate change. Eleven genotypes of quinoa were introduced in 2012 and evaluated for plant growth and yield performance in different environments of central and southern regions of Malawi to determine the potential for quinoa production in the country. The first trials were conducted at Bunda in Lilongwe and Bembeke in Dedza in 2012 under irrigated conditions. Trials under rainfed conditions were conducted at the Bunda site in the 2012/13 and 2014/15 cropping seasons. Evaluation of thirteen promising genotypes under irrigated conditions (2014 to 2015) was extended to six extension planning areas, including Chiluwa in Salima and Nkhunga (Nkhotakota) as warm environments, Mwansambo (Nkhotakota) as a mildly warm environment, Malomo (Ntchisi) as a mildly cool environment, and Kalira 2 (Ntchisi) and Nalunga (Dowa) as cool environments. The genotypes were laid out in completely randomized block designs with four replicates. The maturity period of the genotypes was early in the warm sites (88 days in Nkhunga and 94 days in Chiluwa) and delayed in the cooler sites (121 days in Nalunga and 120 days in Kalira).

  • Malawi Country Operational Plan 2017 Strategic Direction Summary

    Malawi Country Operational Plan 2017 Strategic Direction Summary

    Malawi Country Operational Plan 2017 Strategic Direction Summary April 26, 2017 1 1.0 Goal Statement While there has been significant progress in the fight against HIV, Malawi still has 980,000 people living with HIV (PLHIV), including 350,000 undiagnosed. The Malawi Population-Based HIV Impact Assessment (MPHIA) showed significant progress toward the globally endorsed targets of 90-90-90. The number of new adult infections each year continues to decline (28,000/year in 2016), coinciding with an increase in ART coverage. With the number of annual HIV-related deaths reduced to 27,000/year in 2016, Malawi continues making progress toward epidemic control. However, MPHIA also highlights a disproportionately high HIV incidence among adolescent girls and young women (AGYW) with point estimates for HIV incidence 8 times higher among females aged 15-24 than males. Therefore, the overarching goal of COP17 is to interrupt HIV transmission by reducing incidence among AGYW through testing and treatment of potential sexual partners (men 15-40) and primary prevention (e.g., expansion of DREAMS and AGYW targeted interventions), thereby interrupting the lifecycle of HIV transmission and accelerating progress to epidemic control. The 1st 90 remains the greatest challenge and requires a number of key strategy shifts: Targeting testing and treatment strategies: Increased focus on targeting men and youth with the most efficient testing modalities (e.g., index case testing) and treatment strategies (e.g., same-day ART initiation) to achieve saturation across all age and gender bands in scale-up districts by the end of FY18. Increasing focus in five “acceleration” districts: Per the MPHIA, the epidemic is most intense in population-dense regions of Southern Malawi, especially Blantyre; therefore, PEPFAR will focus on Blantyre and four other high burden, scale up districts (deemed “acceleration” districts) that include 70% of the national gap to saturation.
