Ministry Of Water And Sanitation
A Call For Application For Short Term Engagement Of
“young Professionals” Under Malawi Resilience And Disaster Risk Management Project (Mrdrmp) And Malawi Watershed Services Improvement Project (Mwasip)

The Government of the Republic of Malawi through the Ministry of Water and Sanitation with support from the World Bank is implementing a program to address climate change vulnerability, land, and forestry degradation, and resuscitate the delivery of watershed services which have become critical and continue to seriously affect crucial sectors such as agriculture, water and energy which have a bearing on the country’s economy. The program which involves two projects namely Malawi Watershed Services Improvement Project (MWASIP) and Malawi Resilience and Disaster Risk Management Project (MRDRMP) is being implemented through a multi-sectoral approach whereby individual project components, subcomponents and activities are implemented through relevant Ministries, Departments, and
Agencies (MDAs). A Program Management Unit (PMU) was setup having considered the complexity and diverse nature of the project activities and putting more focus on delivery of project objectives rather that sector based.
