| Overview : The objective of the assignment is to quantify identified environment, natural resource and climate (ENRC)-poverty links in Malawi in terms of the impact on poverty and to identify policy options to accelerate poverty reduction through the more sustainable use of environment, natural resources (ENR). Quantifying the linkages will imply analysis of how unsustainable natural resource use and environmental degradation impact on poverty levels including broader indicators such as income, health, food security and gender disparities (time women spend on water/firewood collection, access to education, etc.). The analysis with its recommendations aims to support policy makers to better incorporate poverty-environment objectives in policies, plans and budget processes in such a way that it can contribute to poverty reduction, economic growth and the achievement of development goals. |
