DERPIn Learning Event–Malawi
The DERPIn Malawi team (AKADEMIYA2063, the Malawi University of Science and Technology, and the Farmers Union of Malawi) is organizing a two-day in-person learning event on April 2–3 to share findings from the project with stakeholders and foster discussion on implications for agrifood systems policies and potential uses to inform decision-making.
The event will highlight the project’s findings on patterns of nutrient consumption adequacy and vulnerability across the country, as well as ongoing work to use satellite data to produce accurate crop maps and enhance the precision of production and yield forecasts. Participants will learn about the methodologies and approaches employed, review countryspecific findings, and consider potential applications of the analytical work.
The project team will also provide training on how decision-makers from multiple sectors can take the needs of different genders into account to craft more effective gender-sensitive strategies. Event participants from multiple sectors will engage in discussions on how the project findings and tools can meet their specific information needs, support evidence-based decisions, and inform strategies to strengthen Malawi’s agrifood system.
