CISONECC Engagement Meeting with key Policy and Decision Makers
The Civil Society Network on Climate Change (CISONECC) has organized an Engagement Meeting today with key Policy and Decision Makers to discuss Climate Change Initiatives in Malawi. This meeting is part of the Climate Just Community (CJC) program, a flagship initiative under the Scottish Government’s Climate Justice Fund, facilitated by DAI UK International.
The purpose of this meeting is to unite policy and decision-makers from various sectors to discuss, align, and strengthen climate change management efforts, including the National Adaptation Plan (NAP) and the Climate Change Account. The event aims to foster a collaborative approach to enhancing Malawi's climate change adaptation and mitigation strategies.
In his opening remarks, CISONECC National Coordinator Julius Ng'oma emphasized the importance of integrating climate change initiatives into national and sectoral policies and frameworks.
"Our goal is to engage policy and decision-makers in meaningful discussions that will enhance their knowledge and support for climate change management initiatives," Ng'oma stated.
"By providing targeted information and fostering collaborative dialogue, we aim to improve the effectiveness of these initiatives."
This initiative is a collaborative effort involving the Malawi Government, CISONECC, Link Community Development, CADECOM Karonga, Centre for Integrated Community Development, Evangelical Lutheran Development Service, WaterAid, Water Witness, Organization for Sustainable Socio-Economic Development Initiative, and World Relief Malawi. Together, with DAI UK International, they aim to amplify the voices of communities most vulnerable to climate change.
CISONECC Board Chairperson Gift Numeri expressed gratitude to attendees for their presence at the orientation saying that Gender is not just counting the number of women and men present but being active in promoting gender by ensuring that all gender dimensions are respected in policy and programming.
