Weather and climate information system
BRLI's mission was to work with WIMES to develop a weather and climate warning system that would enable farmers and fishermen to take decisions adapted to the situation (outings on the lake, cultivation, etc.). The ultimate aim is to save lives and preserve the livelihoods of farmers and fishermen. These livelihoods are increasingly affected by extreme weather events, and Malawi's farmers and fishermen are trapped in poverty by alternating severe floods and droughts, as well as annual losses due to intense storms. These weather phenomena are sustained by rising global temperatures, and there is evidence that climate change is leading to more frequent and extreme storms, droughts and floods in Malawi.
