Climate, Agriculture, and the Environment

Malawi ▪ 2428 October 2016

Summary:

The overall goal of the training was to gather key Implementing Partners (IPs) and USAID staff working on food security issues in Malawi to share and document ways to integrate agriculture, climate change, and environment. The training invited participants from USAID’s Bureau for Democracy, Conflict, and Humanitarian Assistance (DCHA)/Food for Peace programs, Malawi’s  global climate change programs, as well as participants from several of the Bureau for Food Security’s Feed the Future activities, all united by the shared objective of improving agricultural resiliency to climate change. The Climate, Agriculture, and Environment Training helped project developers and implementing partners understand the connections between food security and environmental degradation, and climate change, and gave the participants a chance to practically incorporate their learning into their work plans.

The training was funded jointly by the USAID/DCHA and USAID/BFS Feed the Future, and organized by The Cadmus Group Inc. under USAID’s Global Environmental Management Support (GEMS II) Contract.
