Why we should learn more about the

• investment (time & resource) in the ‘right’ areas
• maximising impact of partnership
• enhancing the self reliance of Malawi citizens

80% of the Short Term (188 of 234 MW )
new energy capacity will be Hydroelectric
71% of the Medium Term (865 of 1,240 MW)
new energy capacity will be Hydroelectric
84% of the Long Term (645 of 770MW)

NOTE: Wind and Renewable Energy ONLY
accounts for 1% of all the new energy
needed in Malawi in the next 1 to 20 years!!

for Water Resources Infrastructure
including Boreholes
The implementation of the Water
Resources Management Plan will allow
Malawi to prioritise resources
The DLCS is working with WASHTED,

work and develop a ‘Needs Assessment’
that can provide a focus for engagement
