The Government of Malawi’s Wildlife Policy (Malawi Ministry of Tourism, Parks and Wildlife 2000, pp2, 4) stresses the “development of partnerships with all interested parties to effectively manage wildlife both inside and outside protected areas and the encouragement of the participation of local communities, entrepreneurs, Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) and any other party with an interest in wildlife conservation”.

Box 2100 1211 Geneva 2, Switzerland Tel: 41 22 791 6033 Fax: 41 22 791 6506 e-mail: [email protected] Appeal Coordinating Office Malawi Famine Mitigation Follow-up – AFMW51 Appeal Target: US$ 2,017,307 Geneva, 6 September 2005 Dear Colleagues, Drought-prone Malawi is yet again suffering from food crisis this year following adverse climatic conditions arising from severe drought and erratic rains, inadequate accessibility to farm inputs and the effect of previous food shortage situations. The drop in crop performance, especially for the country's main staple food, maize, have created big food security concerns for many parts of the country including those that are currently on food aid. The immediate household food shortage caused by low expected yields from the current crops is an indicator that most households will have food shortage from August 2005 to April 2006 if no appropriate interventions are put in place. The continued grip of the food shortage, the increased funding of current appeal AFMW41 almost towards the end of the appeal period, the increased number of beneficiaries and the change in nature of implementation prompted the Malawi ACT Forum: Church of Central Africa Presbyterian (CCAP) Development Department of Synod of Livingstonia, Church of Central Africa Presbyterian (CCAP) Blantyre Synod, the Evangelical Lutheran Development Programme (ELDP), Christian Health Association of Malawi (CHAM) and Churches Action in Relief and Development (CARD), to submit this new proposal which will be for a implementation period of six additional months. The AFMW41 appeal will remain the same and will be closed, while this appeal represents new needs identified by the ACT members in Malawi.

  • 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.
