Malawi Watershed Services Improvement Project (MWASIP)

Malawi as a country is endowed with many natural resources that support the majority of the productive sectors and are the primary source of livelihood for over 80 percent of the population. However, degradation in most critical watersheds has reached alarming levels, with significant impacts on water security, agricultural productivity, and hydropower generation.
Degradation of these renewable natural resources base (land, water, forests) has greatly affected the country and high exposure and vulnerability to climate change have adversely affected water and energy security, agricultural productivity and livelihoods.
