Transformational Adaptation for Climate Resilience in Lake Chilwa Basin of Malawi

Ongoing Since 2023

Reducing the vulnerability of communities around Lake Chilwa to climate change, by strengthening livelihoods through ecosystem-based adaptation and financing climate-resilient enterprises.

Lake Chilwa is Malawi’s second-largest lake, and the communities around it depend on its fisheries, wetlands and farmland. TRANSFORM builds on existing work for the sustainable and fair use of the basin’s natural resources.

What the project does

  • Builds the capacity of communities and institutions to plan, carry out and monitor ecosystem-based adaptation.

  • Improves small-scale producers’ access to markets for climate-resilient products and value chains.

  • Helps households take up alternative livelihoods.

The Environmental Affairs Department is the executing agency. The project is financed by the Least Developed Countries Fund of the Global Environment Facility, with UNDP as the implementing agency.
