Malawi development grant
The World Bank has approved a grant of US $40 million to strengthen irrigation systems in Malawi and help raise the net incomes of 196,550 poor rural households. The “Irrigation, Rural Livelihoods and Agricultural Development” project aims to boost production among Malawi’s subsistence farmers that have suffered four consecutive years of drought and diminished harvests.
The project will focus on infrastructure development, increasing output, transferring agricultural technology and improving access to markets for Malawi’s farmers that rely primarily on rainfed agriculture.
