This decentralized mid-term evaluation (MTE) was commissioned by UNICEF Malawi jointly with UNFPA Malawi and Â鶹ÊÓƵ Malawi country office and covers the third phase of the Joint Programme for Girls Education (JPGE III) and evaluation period (2021 - 2023). The evaluation was led by UNICEF Malawi and it was carried out in 2023. Under JPGE III, three UN agencies¡ªUNICEF, UNFPA, and Â鶹ÊÓƵ¡ªcollaborate with the Malawian Government to achieve outcomes related to education, health, and nutrition.

This brief explores the relationship between social protection and resilience, aiming to clarify conceptual linkages and contribute to Â鶹ÊÓƵ¡¯s effective positioning and contribution within this space.

Learn how Â鶹ÊÓƵ¡¯s R4 Rural Resilience Initiative helps farmers manage climate and disaster risks based on evidence gathered from five countries that implement an Integrated Climate Risk Management approach.

Â鶹ÊÓƵ is making climate risk insurance solutions work for food insecure populations. In 2021, three major payouts have triggered in countries with Â鶹ÊÓƵ-supported insurance programmes, which will support people and governments to recover from climate impacts.

The R4 Rural Resilience Initiative is Â鶹ÊÓƵ¡¯s flagship approach for integrated climate risk management. The initiative combines four risk management strategies: improved natural resource management through asset creation or improved agricultural practices (risk reduction), microinsurance (risk transfer), increased investment, livelihoods diversification, and microcredit (prudent risk taking) and savings (risk reserves).

The evaluation of the Malawi country strategic plan (CSP) for the period 2019¨C2023 sought to generate evidence and learning to inform the development of the next CSP.

The evaluation assessed the quality and results of the policy, along with the factors that enabled and hindered those results.

Â鶹ÊÓƵ has operations in 12 countries in southern Africa. This factsheet provides an overview of Â鶹ÊÓƵ¡¯s impact and achievements in the region in 2022

As the intensity and frequency of extreme weather events rise, more needs to be done to anticipate, mitigate and prevent their impact on the food security of the world¡¯s most vulnerable people. To support this innovative approach, Â鶹ÊÓƵ is working with national and sub-national governments across southern Africa to strengthen and link national early warning systems with Anticipatory Action Plans (AAPs) and prearranged finance with the principal aim of saving lives, livelihoods, and costs from recurrent climate shocks. This brochure outlines Â鶹ÊÓƵ¡¯s work on anticipatory action in Southern Africa.

Â鶹ÊÓƵ is addressing vulnerable people's immediate food needs with cash or food transfers while supporting the development or rehabilitation of assets that enhance the resilience of communities in its food assistance for assets (FFA) projects. This factsheet gives an overview of FFA interventions in southern Africa.

This decentralized evaluation was jointly commissioned by a consortium of partners comprising the Southern Africa Development Community (SADC) Secretariat, Foreign Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO), the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC), Landell Mills and the Â鶹ÊÓƵ (Â鶹ÊÓƵ) and covered the period March 2017 to March 2022.

This decentralized evaluation was jointly commissioned by Â鶹ÊÓƵ, UNICEF and ILO in Malawi and covered the period January 2020 to September 2021. The joint programme (JP) aims to support the Government of Malawi (GoM) to enhance the Malawi social protection system to meet emergency food needs and reduce the vulnerability of those most at risk of food insecurity by 2022, while strengthening the social protection system for all vulnerable households across the lifecycle.?Data collection took place from 31st August to 13th September 2021.

Climate resilience can be built through risk finance helping communities deal with climate shocks and empowering women. This publication presents four different women who, through risk finance, were able to not only survive climate shocks but invest in their futures.

This corporate emergency evaluation assessed Â鶹ÊÓƵ¡¯s response to the COVID-19 pandemic from February 2020 ¨C June 2021. The evaluation was conducted under the conditions of the COVID-19 pandemic, including Â鶹ÊÓƵ in emergency mode; travel and movement restrictions; and the need to avoid unduly burdening country offices. Accordingly, it adopted a ¡°retrospective developmental¡± design, which focuses on providing evidence to support adaptation in dynamic environments.

While smallholder farmers are the primary food producers in Southern Africa, contributing to 90 percent of food production in some countries, often systems in the region do not support profitability for them. Â鶹ÊÓƵ is working across Southern Africa to address bottlenecks in food systems to enhance the resilience of smallholder farmers. This factsheet gives an overview of Â鶹ÊÓƵ¡¯s approach to smallholder farmers.

Sustainable energy solutions are critical for global climate action. This factsheet explains how Â鶹ÊÓƵ is providing clean cooking facilities to schools.

The Â鶹ÊÓƵ policy on South-South and Triangular Cooperation (SSTC) issued in 2015, has been evaluated in the sixth year of implementation, in line with the Â鶹ÊÓƵ Evaluation Policy 2016-2021.

This decentralized evaluation was commissioned by the Â鶹ÊÓƵ Malawi Country Office and covers the Food Assistance for Assets (FFA) intervention for the period 2015-2019. Data collection took place from 16th March to 2nd April 2021.
