The Regional Climate Resilience Program (RCRP-2) strengthens Malawi’s long-term resilience through five components: Risk Management and Climate Financing to build institutional capacity and integrate climate financing; Infrastructure Investments and Sustainable Asset Management to support post-cyclone recovery and resilient catchment infrastructure.

Adaptive Climate Services for Resilient Communities to enhance preparedness and embed climate in social protection; Project Management to ensure effective coordination across ministries and districts; and the Contingent Emergency Response Component (CERC) enabling rapid crisis response.

Components: Program essential pillars that structure actions, goals, and resilience.

The works have improved the usability and accessibility of roads and access routes damaged by the cyclones in the six targeted wards. Implementation of the works was preceded by key preparatory activities, including stakeholder engagement, hotspot mapping, ward action planning, participant identification and validation, as well as training of extension workers and foremen. Overall, the first phase achieved its intended objective of improving critical infrastructure and strengthening community resilience. Read More
