Under the leadership of Executive Director Edward Chaka, a passionate and experienced community leader with strong networks across civil society and justice institutions in Malawi, PEFENAP continues to strengthen its impact.
PEFENAP’s Climate Change Project is a community-driven initiative focused on building resilience, strengthening adaptation, and promoting sustainable environmental practices in response to the growing impacts of climate change in Malawi. The project works closely with the Malawi Meteorological Department to ensure that communities receive timely, accurate, and reliable weather and climate information that supports informed decision-making. Through this partnership, early warning systems are strengthened, enabling communities to better prepare for floods, droughts, and other climate-related hazards.
The project combines climate education, environmental awareness, and practical adaptation strategies to help communities protect their livelihoods and natural resources. PEFENAP engages local leaders, farmers, women, and youth in training sessions that promote sustainable land use, conservation practices, and climate-smart agriculture. By translating technical meteorological data into simple, actionable messages, the project ensures that even the most vulnerable communities can understand and respond effectively to climate risks.
Beyond awareness and preparedness, the Climate Change Project also promotes long-term environmental stewardship by encouraging community-led initiatives such as tree planting, natural resource management, and disaster risk reduction planning. Through collaboration with government institutions, local stakeholders, and development partners, PEFENAP is helping to build resilient communities that are better equipped to withstand climate shocks while safeguarding their environment for future generations.
