Building Resilience and Adaptation to Climate Change (BRACC) is a five year program whose main objective is to strengthen the resilience of poor and vulnerable households to withstand current and future weather and climate-related shocks and stresses in four districts in Southern Malawi: Balaka, Chikwawa, Mangochi and Phalombe. Resilience is operationalized as the ability of households to smooth consumption in response to shocks and stresses. This baseline report introduces the evaluation context and describes the BRACC program, details the evaluation design, summarizes main findings from the baseline household survey, and tests whether the randomizations successfully balanced baseline observable characteristics across the treatment arms.

Between April and July 2021, IFPRI Malawi conducted its second, nationwide crowdsourcing exercise on the maize and soybean prices paid to farmers. In contrast, to the main harvesting season in 2020, when around three-quarters of sales of maize and soybeans took place at less than the official minimum farmgate price (MFGP), in 2021 the prices paid to soybean farmers have been good but those paid to maize sellers have been poor. Specifically, between early April and late June this year, about eighty percent of soybean farmers received prices equal to or above the minimum price for soybean. However, over the same period, less than ten percent of maize farmers received prices equal to or above the MFGP for maize.
