This contributed to strengthening the health system and its resilience, scaled-up existing Risk Communication and Community Engagement (RCCE) and COVID-19 (C-19) vaccine sensitisation efforts at national, district and community levels in order to counteract mistrust and disinformation campaigns. It also increased communities\u2019 awareness of the national campaign and trust towards vaccination as well as understanding its importance, provided technical support to district health offices for improved COVID-19 vaccination planning, and implementation, including development of vaccine communication and engagement plans, priority groups mapping and pre-registration, and coordination. It further ensured quality and timely monitoring to prevent possible collateral damage due to the campaigns (which included prompt monitoring and reporting of any adverse events following immunisation - AEFI). The combined result of these activities led to improved effectiveness and efficiency of the national COVID-19 deployment plan.

Building on the success of previous energy projects that provided access to cleaner cooking technologies, the project initiative employs a direct implementation model targeting Social Cash Transfer (SCT) model participants in Mzimba North, ensuring that the most vulnerable households have access to these technologies, promoting equity and inclusivity. The commercial model targets individuals who can afford to buy a stove at a subsidised price. This integrated approach aims to enhance community resilience, improve health outcomes, and contribute to environmental sustainability by addressing key constraints such as access to clean energy. The programme is designed to be adaptable and responsive, learning from the experiences and feedback from the community and partners to continuously improve the interventions and maximize impact.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\"><b>50,000 households<\/b><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"x-col e17245-e62 mdb1-b\" id=\"restore-africa\"><hr class=\"x-line e17245-e63 mdb1-i mdb1-j\"\/><hr class=\"x-line e17245-e64 mdb1-l\"\/><h4  class=\"h-custom-headline h4\" ><span>RESTORE AFRICA LAND - REFORESTATION PROJECT<\/span><\/h4><hr class=\"x-line e17245-e66 mdb1-j mdb1-k\"\/><div id=\"\" class=\"x-text\" style=\"\" ><p class=\"p2\"><b><span style=\"color: #6cc32e;\">Objective:<\/span> <\/b>This programme will enable and build substantial carbon sinks and sequestration opportunities, allowing viable returns to both farmers and investors.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">T<\/span>he goal of the program is to enhance livelihoods, food security, and resilience to climate change in Malawi by restoring ecosystem services and improving the management of agricultural, pastoral, and forest areas, ultimately contributing to emissions reductions.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\">Self Help Africa is one of six partners in a consortium led by Catholic Relief Services (CRS) that is implementing the five-year Restore Africa land restoration program, funded by the Global Evergreening Alliance (GEA) with technical support from ICRAF (World Agroforestry).

This contributed to strengthening the health system and its resilience, scaled-up existing Risk Communication and Community Engagement (RCCE) and COVID-19 (C-19) vaccine sensitisation efforts at national, district and community levels in order to counteract mistrust and disinformation campaigns. It also increased communities\u2019 awareness of the national campaign and trust towards vaccination as well as understanding its importance, provided technical support to district health offices for improved COVID-19 vaccination planning, and implementation, including development of vaccine communication and engagement plans, priority groups mapping and pre-registration, and coordination. It further ensured quality and timely monitoring to prevent possible collateral damage due to the campaigns (which included prompt monitoring and reporting of any adverse events following immunisation - AEFI). The combined result of these activities led to improved effectiveness and efficiency of the national COVID-19 deployment plan. In Dedza district, all targeted health facilities were able to utilise vaccine doses before expiry dates, unlike for many districts in the country.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\"><b>12,552 individuals fully immunized, comprising 7,936 women and 4,616 men. <\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\"><b>19,001 COVID-19 vaccine doses were administered through the project\u2019s interventions. <\/b><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"x-col e17245-e178 mdb1-b\" id=\"chitetezo-cookstoves\"><hr class=\"x-line e17245-e179 mdb1-i mdb1-j\"\/><hr class=\"x-line e17245-e180 mdb1-l\"\/><h4  class=\"h-custom-headline h4\" ><span>CHITETEZO MBAULA CARBON SOUTH POLE PROJECT<\/span><\/h4><hr class=\"x-line e17245-e182 mdb1-j mdb1-k\"\/><div id=\"\" class=\"x-text\" style=\"\" ><p class=\"p2\"><span style=\"color: #6cc32e;\"><b>Objective: <\/b><\/span>Provide access to cleaner cooking technologies for over a minimum of 50,000 households<\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">T<\/span>he programme\u2019s overall objective is to provide access to cleaner cooking technologies for over a minimum of 50,000 households, thereby reducing over 900,000 tonnes of CO2 emissions. Building on the success of previous energy projects that provided access to cleaner cooking technologies, the project initiative employs a direct implementation model targeting Social Cash Transfer (SCT) model participants in Mzimba North, ensuring that the most vulnerable households have access to these technologies, promoting equity and inclusivity. The commercial model targets individuals who can afford to buy a stove at a subsidised price. This integrated approach aims to enhance community resilience, improve health outcomes, and contribute to environmental sustainability by addressing key constraints such as access to clean energy. The programme is designed to be adaptable and responsive, learning from the experiences and feedback from the community and partners to continuously improve the interventions and maximize impact.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\"><b>50,000 households<\/b><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"x-col e17245-e184 mdb1-b\" id=\"restore-africa\"><hr class=\"x-line e17245-e185 mdb1-i mdb1-j\"\/><hr class=\"x-line e17245-e186 mdb1-l\"\/><h4  class=\"h-custom-headline h4\" ><span>RESTORE AFRICA LAND - REFORESTATION PROJECT<\/span><\/h4><hr class=\"x-line e17245-e188 mdb1-j mdb1-k\"\/><div id=\"\" class=\"x-text\" style=\"\" ><p class=\"p2\"><b><span style=\"color: #6cc32e;\">Objective:<\/span> <\/b>This programme will enable and build substantial carbon sinks and sequestration opportunities, allowing viable returns to both farmers and investors.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">T<\/span>he goal of the program is to enhance livelihoods, food security, and resilience to climate change in Malawi by restoring ecosystem services and improving the management of agricultural, pastoral, and forest areas, ultimately contributing to emissions reductions.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\">Self Help Africa is one of six partners in a consortium led by Catholic Relief Services (CRS) that is implementing the five-year Restore Africa land restoration program, funded by the Global Evergreening Alliance (GEA) with technical support from ICRAF (World Agroforestry).
