Vice President Dr. Michael Usi has praised the Titukulane Resilience Food Security Activity (RFSA) project for its outstanding contributions to promoting resilient agriculture, reducing vulnerability to shocks, and ensuring sustainable natural resource management in the country.
Speaking at the Closeout and Learning event held at the Bingu International Convention Centre (BICC) in Lilongwe on Tuesday, Dr. Usi commended the project’s collaborative approach with donor partners, which has helped achieve the development goals of Titukulane and realization of Agenda 2063.
He said the Titukulane project has demonstrated a significant shift from reactive to proactive environmental conservation approaches.
Country Director for CARE International Malawi, Pamela Kuwali, noted that over 600 Malawians, particularly women and girls, have benefited from the project since 2019.
She said the project’s primary goal was to achieve sustainable, equitable, and resilient food and nutrition security for ultra-poor and chronically vulnerable households in Mangochi and Zomba districts.
The five-year project, initiated in 2019, was funded by USAID with a budget of US$75 million.
CARE International Malawi implemented the project in partnership with Emmanuel International, IFPRI, NASFAM, Save the Children, and WaterAid.
