Bridging Borders for Climate Resilience: How Uganda and Malawi Are Redefining Locally Led Adaptation

The Uganda–Malawi peer-learning visit was a technical collaboration that turned challenges into solutions. By bringing together practitioners from national to community levels, LIFE-AR created a space where real-world problems were met with practical, actionable insights from experience.

This exchange proved that when governments, technical teams, and communities collaborate as equals and share learning, adaptation becomes more than a project, efficient and sustainable innovations and solutions can be found.

As LIFE-AR is moving forward in the 10 participating countries, Malawi and Uganda’s shared lessons will inspire other Front Runner Countries, and beyond. The collective knowledge of all Front Runner Countries on how to learn, adapt, and lead together, will further demonstrate that the best solutions often come from those closest to the challenges.
