Who we are

As multi-mandated organisations, NCA and DCA link humanitarian response, long-term development, and advocacy to design
holistic programmes and interventions that contribute to lasting changes.

The Joint Country Programme (JCP) in Malawi works through partnerships with 18 local faith-based and secular organizations to strengthen civil society actors and civic spaces, enabling them to contribute effectively to addressing key development challenges. The programme focuses on four thematic areas: Ending Gender-Based Violence (GBV), Fighting Inequalities, Economic Development and Food Security (EDFS), and Climate and Environmental Stewardship.

In addition to its development programming, the JCP implements humanitarian interventions aimed at saving lives, alleviating suffering, and protecting human dignity during emergencies and humanitarian crises. Through these efforts, the programme supports vulnerable communities by strengthening resilience, enhancing disaster preparedness, and providing cash-based assistance to affected households.

In line with the localisation agenda and the Charter for Change commitments, the JCP will continue to strengthen the capacity, leadership, and sustainability of local civil society actors. At the same time, it will engage strategically with government institutions and faith-based organizations to address systemic issues affecting Malawians and to advocate for policies and practices that promote equity, resilience, and sustainable development
