On October 3–4, 2023, WorldFish held a dialogue-cum-training workshop on digital climate information and services (CIS) for aquatic food systems in Malawi at Wamkulu Palace in Lilongwe. The workshop was organized in close consultation with the Department of Fisheries (DOF) and the Department of Climate Change and Meteorological Services (DCCM). The event was part of WorldFish’s support for the Southern African Development Community (SADC) in executing the Programme for Improving Fisheries Governance and Blue Economy Trade Corridors in SADC Region (PROFISHBLUE), which is funded by the African Development Bank. One of the components of PROFISHBLUE focuses on digital fisheries information systems (FIS) for value chain actors and knowledge sharing platforms. Within this scope of PROFISHBLUE, WorldFish is set to develop a climate informed digital decision support system to disseminate advisories for climate risk management to two SADC countries: Zambia and Malawi. The aim is to de-risk value chains of aquatic food systems in the SADC region.
