Enhancing Resilience Through Integrated Watershed Management: Lessons from the Titukulane Project in Malawi
The Titukulane program implemented watershed interventions in Zomba and Mangochi districts to address critical challenges in soil conservation, water resource management, and socio-economic resilience. These interventions focused on restoring degraded landscapes, enhancing agricultural productivity, and improving water availability for agricultural and domestic use. The program actively engaged over 7,000 households across 23 watersheds, highlighting a strong commitment to community-driven approaches in building sustainable solutions. This policy brief is based on an evaluation that utilized a mixed-methods approach to analyze the outcomes of these interventions.

You Can’t Blame the Weather: Preventing Hunger in the 2026–27 El Niño
"You Can't Blame the Weather" is the first in a series on the impact of El Niño. It highlights that donor choices have the power to decide the outcomes for millions vulnerable to the climate shocks posed by El Niño. These shocks are arriving at a moment of deep precarity for communities dealing with conflict, market disruption, and the compounding forces of price hikes in the wake of escalating conflict in the Middle East. The humanitarian community has deployed rapid, large-scale crises before, such as in the aftermath of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, and while these responses weren't perfect, they did measurably mitigate the worst potential impacts of the crisis. We can learn and improve from this recent history to prevent, respond, and recover from El Niño shocks in 2026-2027.
