Biodiversity plays a central role in supporting Malawi’s economy and the well-being of its

people. Ecosystems underpin agriculture, fisheries, forestry, energy, and tourism, and they

provide food, water, raw materials, cultural identity, and climate buffering services.

This Monitoring and Evaluation frameworks describes the information system that Malawi will use to guide monitoring and evaluation activities. Strengthening

national biodiversity monitoring systems will contribute to the achievement of a number of

other national strategies, in particular the Malawi Vision 2063 and the global development

policies the Sustainable Development Goals, and the NBSAP III. The monitoring framework

hence makes a direct contribution to these aspirations, and strengthens allied strategies towards

biodiversity protection, a Malawi 2063 target.
