What we do in Malawi Emergency Response Resilient Health Food & Nutrition Security Sustainable Livelihoods Covid-19 Response Building community resilience GOAL has a long history of responding to disasters in Malawi. In 2019, GOAL was a first responder to regional flooding – providing emergency food and non-food items to affected communities. The team also provides regular support to food insecure households by granting food and cash distributions during the lean season. GOAL works closely with the Department of Disaster Management Affairs to strengthen Civil Protection Committee structures, support community hazard mapping and warning system development. The team use GOAL’s Analysis of Resilience in Communities to Disaster (ARC-D) toolkit to measure and analyse community resilience and plan appropriate responses. We also provide technical services to external stakeholders. Key achievements GOAL Malawi reached an estimated 2.3 million people with COVID-19 messages and interventions during 2020. At the end of 2020, GOAL Malawi facilitated the distribution of food to 15,041 food insecure households across rural Blantyre in partnership with the World Food Programme. In 2020, GOAL Malawi continued to promote and strengthen Youth Friendly Health Services in 14 communities across Machinga and Nsanje districts. This included the facilitation of discussions between service providers, youth representatives and community-based leaders on issues that affect young people, such as the availability of family planning services and the perceptions of parents towards youth accessing family planning. In 2020, GOAL Malawi formed 20 new Nutrition Impact Positive Practices (NIPP) groups to address the underlying causes of malnutrition, including in the groups 61 men and 221 women. GOAL Malawi trained 12,567 caregivers in 2020 to use the ‘Family MUAC’ method to screen their own children for malnutrition and seek early treatment if needed. In 2020, GOAL continued to work with a cohort of 1,230 lead farmers (750 male and 480 female), who in turn reached over 14,000 farmers across Nsanje, Chikwawa and Machinga districts with key messaging on climate smart agriculture and new farming technologies. Under the UNFPA-funded Spotlight Initiative, GOAL engaged 3,340 adolescent girls and young women in a mentorship programme which aims to eliminate violence against women and girls, including sexual gender-based violence. Also under this intervention, 90 ‘safe spaces’ were established, where adolescent girls and young women can meet to discuss issues that affect them.
