I work for Malawi Environmental Endowment Trust (MEET), as its Programmes Director. The organisation was created to respond quickly to address environmental problems by way of providing grants to communities and institutions in Malawi. Lately, the endowment that provides funds for projects has not been growing due to the financial melt down that most economies have faced. Among the programmes we carry out, tree planting and natural forest conservation are quite central and are inceasingly becoming a focal area. In addition, MEET is promoting renewable energy initiatives, as one way of avoiding further deforestation and forest degradation (REDD), mainly in microhydro power generation, biogas and wind energy for various works. However, MEET is overwhelmed with requests for support and would not be able to support most projects. I note with hope the Bank might have a window for environmental projects support. Should that be the case, MEET would be too eager to enter into a partnership to manage and supervise the projects that the Bank would support through MEET. There are already a number of proposals on carbon sequestration that MEET can easily consolidate for possible support for most parts of Malawi. Shall we explore this possibility with the Bank if it is in order then?. Best regards and thank you Benson Chipezaani PROGRAMMES DIRECTOR, MEET Commendable support on carbon sequestration by the Bank as a strategy to promoting mitigation to influence climate change.
