Since 1996, DAPP Malawi has been actively improving livelihoods and communities in need across Malawi through its social development projects.
DAPP is implementing 16 projects within education, health, agriculture and community development in 24 districts that span across the country's three regions
We are excited to share with you all the DAPP Malawi 2021 Progress Report. The report gives a comprehensive picture of our work in Malawi in the past year. In 2021, we continued to work with Malawians to create self-sustainable communities through our programs in health, education hereunder vocational skills training and early childhood development, agriculture- including food security and environment, in community development and fundraising.
Since our inception in 1995, we have managed to implement impactful and large-scale development programs using predominantly local structures. These achievements are registered as we work in close collaboration with the Government of Malawi as well as local and international partners. We joined the government of Malawi and other partners in our continued efforts to convey the Covid-19 preventive measures in all our activities during 2021.
We use this opportunity to offer our deepest appreciation to all our partners, staff and all people in our projects for the work, achievements and progress that has made 2021 memorable.
We are excited to take part in the European Development Days 2021 scheduled to occur from 15th - 16th June. The 14th edition of the European Development Days will be delivered virtually due to COVID-19 pandemic.
European Development Days 2021 (EDD21), convened by the European Commission, bring the development community together under the overarching theme “The Green Deal for a Sustainable Future”.
Pollution and chemicals
Rural transformation and food systems
The EDD21 agenda places focus on biodiversity loss, climate change and environmental degradation as defining challenges of our generation and call for more coordinated and incisive international efforts to save the planet. EDD21 will provide a decisive moment of reflection on the road to the Glasgow COP26, planned for November 2021.
This is in line with the agenda we are committed to: protecting the planet, building communities and supporting people by connecting them with others, unleashing their potential for positive change and action.
Our participation in EDD21 is based on two areas of activities:
Our Farmers’ Clubs program supports smallholder farmers to produce bigger quantities of better food. They are already the world biggest food producers: they feed the world, reaching those who need it most, the rural and urban poor. Smallholder farmers are the frontline response to the world’s environmental and social crisis.
For more than 40 years we have collected, sorted and sold second-hand clothes. In doing so, we reduce waste, save precious resources through reuse, provide affordable clothing to people in both hemispheres - and it ultimately enables us to undertake invaluable development work.
The second session, “Boosting circularity in the global textile industry: a catalyst for environmental and social transformation in developing countries”, is slotted for 1600hrs-1610hrs. Kaj Pihl of Humana People to People will present on the EU textile strategy and how Humana People to People contributes to a more sustainable use of textiles while providing opportunities for vulnerable communities in developing countries. In the same session the European Commission will present on EU waste principles, transforming textile management into a catalyst of the EU Green Deal among other issues.
The COVID-19 pandemic has shown the inter-linkages between human health and a healthy planet. The post COVID-19 recovery should be an opportunity to build back greener and more inclusive societies and economies.
We also feature a PODCAST on how Humana People to People concept of Farmers’ Clubs is changing lives. In the conversation with Fabiano Montfort, the Coordinator of Farmers’ Clubs in Laos, we bring to you a discussion on how our sustainable agriculture and environment activities are supporting farmers with capacity building to improve food production in Laos.
We are excited to release the DAPP Malawi 2020 Progress Report!
The report provides an insight into the work of DAPP in Malawi in the past year. In 2020, DAPP Malawi clocked 25 years of working with the people of Malawi in promotion of social and economic development through programs related to health, education training, food security, community development, fundraising and environment.
DAPP continues working shoulder to shoulder with the people of Malawi I order to create communities that are self-sustainable and have improved quality of life.
Since 1995, DAPP Malawi – being a local non-governmental organization (NGO) - has excelled in implementing large-scale, high-impact development programs with measurable outcomes through predominantly local structures. DAPP implements projects in close collaboration with national and local government authorities and alongside a wide range of trusted civil society and private sector partners. A part of DAPP’s funding comes from a long-standing social enterprise, in which funds raised through the sale of second-hand clothing and shoes are used to support DAPP projects, making DAPP Malawi a partially self-sustaining organization.
In 2020, DAPP Malawi reached over 1.5 million Malawians through project implementation in the areas of agriculture, education and vocational training, health, community development via its social development projects.
In the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic, DAPP Malawi mainstreamed the Covid-19 preventative measures as put in place by the government of Malawi and with support from our partners we managed to respond to the pandemic through activities that have been captured in the report.
We use this opportunity to extend our big appreciation to all our partners, staff and all people in our projects for the work, achievements and progress made in 2020!
