Session 3: Element D: Reporting, Monitoring& Review
Experience from Malawi

Progressive Government Commitment and
National Measures Taken on Climate Change
 GoM is committed to address adverse effects of CC &
also mitigate against it as evident by:
 Creation of a dedicated Ministry of Environment and Climate
Change Management.
 Inclusion of CC within key priority areas of the Malawi Growth
and Development Strategy (MGDS II).
 Establishment of climate change governance and financing
structures.
 Mainstreaming CC and Environment into sectoral plans and
programmes [as evident by National Guidelines by OPC].
Session 3: Element D: Reporting, Monitoringand Review

DEVELOPMENT OF THE NATIONAL
CLIMATE CHANGE POLICY & IMPLEMENTATION PLAN
The Policy has been developed to Guide programming of
interventions for reduction of greenhouse gas emissions into the
atmosphere, as well as adapting to the adverse effects of
climatic change and climate variability.
The Policy also has an implementation strategy & Plan that has
been designed to ensure that we actually undertake the
prioritized interventions stipulated in the Policy.

DEVELOPMENT OF THE NATIONAL
CLIMATE CHANGE INVESTMENT PLAN w/ M&E
The NCCIP has been developed with an objective to
increase climate change investments in Malawi.
Specifically, the NCCIP aims at guiding and
supporting the efforts in climate change
investments in the country by serving as an
instrument for mobilizing and catalyzing resources
for Climate Change Management.

REVIEW OF THE NAPA AND
DEVELOPMENT OF THE NAP
 Malawi’s first NAPA was developed in 2006 but officially launched at
national level in February 2008. Has Five (5)Priority Concepts on which
some projects have been developed and implemented by both Gov. & non
state actors.
 Currently Government is Implementing and planning specific projects
from the NAPA focusing on:
 Climate Adaptation for Rural Livelihoods and Agriculture (CARLA),
 Sustainable Land Management (SLM),
 Establishmentof Early Warning Systems.
 Mainstreaming Climate Adaptation in local development plans and projects.
 Climate Proofing of Development projects/Gains.

Vision and Framework: National Climate Change
Programme (NCCP)
Visioning and development of NCCP out of realization of Government and Donors (UN,
DfID, Norway, Spain, World Bank, others) to act on Climate Change (2008-2010);
Coordinated by Ministry of Economic Planning & Development. Setting up of
Governance structures (National CC Technical & Steering Committees; Government -
Donor Working Group)
NCCP Planning Phase 2010 – 2012 >> Achievements: Draft National CC Policy; National
CC Investment Plan; NCC Communication Strategy; CC Capacity Needs Assessment and
Capacity Development Plan; National CC Learning Strategy; CC Atlas and other Data &
Information; etc.
NCCP Implementation (2013 – 2016): Focus on Mainstreaming; Data, Information &
Knowledge Management; catalyzing climate financing; Coordination. Achievements:
Governance strengthened; CC Policy & CC Investment Plan finalized and launched;
Resources mobilized (GEF: USD 15million; Other Donors USD 5 million); Integration of
CC into District development Plans; Proposal to set up CC Fund / SWAp; etc.

Monitoring & Review of Progress of National
Climate Change Programme
Linked to Monitoring and Periodic Review of Malawi
Growths & Development Strategy where CC + ENR is one of
the 9 key Priority Areas.
Linked to Review of Vision 2020, Sectoral policies and
implementation plans (administratively tied to OPAs).
NCCP & Constituent Projects are overseen by the National
CC Technical and Steering Committees to ensure periodic
review and updating of the Programme itself and its related
projects;

Update, Outreach & Awareness of
National Climate Change Programme
Outreach and Awareness is ensured through the National CC
Communication Strategy.
Awareness is already considerably high in Malawi, especially
among decision-makers (Government, Parliament, Civil
Society, etc.) through training, etc.
Launch of the National Climate Change Investment Plan slated
for 25 April 2014.
Launch of NAP Process in Malawi planned for June 2014 after
elections in May 2014.

CHALLENGES AND GAPS
 Insufficient guidelines and tools for mainstreaming climate
change into sectoral and national policies, strategies and
programmes.
 Insufficient capacity building and training efforts on climate
change issues especially in scenarios building and appraisal of
adaptation options .
 Capacity Development at national, district and community levels
using decentralized environmental manuals & other tools.
 Financial resources for systematic mainstreaming and
implementation of adaptation programmes into sectoral plans and
activities.
 . SupportingLDCs to advancetheir National AdaptationPlans

REQUESTED INTERVENTION(S)
AND SUPPORT
Support for establishment and operationalization
of the national climate fund as a catalyst for
resources.
Support in establishment of the National
Implementing Entity (NIE) for Adaptation Fund as
well as Green Climate Fund which have direct
access modalities.
