Enhancing Community Resilience Programme 2011-2017
The Enhancing Community Resilience Programme (ECRP) was designed to address the chronic climate vulnerability faced by rural people in Malawi. It started in 2011 and is closing in 2017. The purpose of the ECRP is to increase the resilience of vulnerable communities to climate variability and change. DFID, Irish Aid and the Royal Norwegian Embassy fund the ECRP.

They are 1) improved capacity of local authorities (especially village, area and district civil protection committees); 2) improved and resilient livelihoods for vulnerable households in target areas; 3) enhanced early warning for District Governments and vulnerable households; 4) informed policy in areas relevant to climate and disaster resilience;
and 5) strengthened humanitarian response and recovery.

Report of Integrated Nutrition SMART Survey
Emergency Nutrition Assessment (ENA) for Standardized Monitoring of Relief and Transition (SMART) was used to calculate Anthropometry and mortality samples. The calculated sample size for anthropometry was 519 children in 502 households while that of mortality was 2765 persons and 462 households. The anthropometry sample of 502 HHs was the overall sample size for the survey. Each survey team of 4 individuals was estimated to cover 13 households each day and this translated into 39x13 cluster design. The 39 clusters were selected randomly using PPS. In the second stage, selection of 13 HHs to be surveyed was done by simple random sampling from a list of all households in the sampled village/cluster.
