#SDGAction45890
Description
Covid-19 has exacerbated poor climate practices for people living in poor and vulnerable settings. Communities have doubled exploitation of natural resources because their livelihoods depend on it. As a solution, raising awareness and or knowledge sharing is not enough. We recognize the need to go beyond awareness, to impact the social life of the people in the communities, increase their practical capacity for tangible climate practices towards natural resource restoration, conservation and sustenance. Partner Roles: VSO provides financial and human resource through volunteers. Open spaces provides technical climate skill for practical climatic solutions. Monitoring will be carried out jointly with the support of the ministry of natural resources, energy and mining in Malawi.
the formation of and continuation of existing strategic partnerships between the Government of Malawi, NGO's and CSOs is a step towards accelerating the SDG agenda for the next 10 years but pooling into the 2060 agenda. The proposed approach will strengthen Malawi’s response to tackle the pandemic and its adverse socio-economic effects by ensuring that vulnerable groups such as youth, women and girls are not left behind in the response.
