African Development Fund Climate Action Window

HEEED, along with its partners and the Government of Malawi, responded to the call from the African Development Fund Climate Action Window for proposals to “to promote climate change adaptation and build resilience to climate change impacts and strengthen the adaptive capacity of ecological, social or economic systems or policy processes in response to climate change and related impacts.” In February 2024, a concept project note entitled Building Change Adaptive Capacity in Malawi’s Eastern Region was submitted (Appendix 1). The Malawian NGO, HEEED, was chosen to manage this large project and received letters of support from 5 Malawian Government Ministries for the attention of the African Development Fund (Appendix 2).
