Our Programmes & Development Initiatives in Malawi
The Institute for Development (i4D) works across six strategic pillars — health, agriculture & food systems, education, gender & social inclusion, governance & community development, and research & policy innovation — supported by consultancy and technical services, to build a sustainable and inclusive future for Malawi.
Priority Interventions, 2026–2030
- Expand digital health platforms and community health worker networks.
- Scale climate-smart agriculture in Malawi's most climate-vulnerable districts.
- Strengthen foundational literacy, numeracy and digital skills in schools.
- Prevent gender-based violence and expand women's economic empowerment.
- Strengthen local government planning and disaster preparedness.
From Evidence to Impact
Every i4D programme follows the same Theory of Change: research and technical assistance strengthen institutions and build capacity that outlasts any single funding cycle. Learn about our approach →
