For over four decades, our work in Malawi has evolved from foundational bean research into a comprehensive partnership tackling food security, climate resilience and inclusive economic development. Building on proven successes like catalyzing the bean value chain, we now drive sustainable agricultural transformation, private-sector development and economic resilience.
Our strategic relevance lies in connecting science with on-the-ground impact. We develop and scale climate-resilient innovations such as the Mbili-Mbili intercropping system and future-ready crop varieties, while strengthening value chains and accelerating micro, small and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) through business support and access to finance.
Through long-term partnerships with the national government, the private sector and local communities, we ensure that these initiatives are locally relevant and scalable, directly contributing to improved livelihoods, diversified incomes, and greater resilience for the people of Malawi.
