Food Systems Assessment Malawi: Mangochi and Mchinji District

This Food System Assessment, commissioned by Welthungerhilfe (WHH) in coordination with Concern Worldwide, applies the MSD approach to analyze the structures, behaviors, and relationships that shape how food is produced, traded, and consumed in Mangochi and Mchinji.

The assessment’s findings aim to align district-level opportunities with Malawi’s broader transformation agenda, facilitating a process of collective action among public, private, and community actors. By generating locally grounded insights, the report seeks to contribute to a food system where productivity, profitability, and nutrition outcomes are mutually reinforcing – ultimately enabling Mangochi and Mchinji to act as catalysts for broader sub-national and national change toward safe, healthy, and sustainable diets.
