The Government of Malawi (GoM) has put in place a mechanism to enable its flagship social protection program, the Social Cash Transfer Program (SCTP), to scale up to additional beneficiaries in the event of climate shocks, initially prioritizing drought. This note summarizes the technical work that was conducted to build the government’s capacity to design a trigger mechanism in three steps: (i) reviewing available drought data sources in Malawi, (ii) reviewing drought risk models that have been used in Malawi and the region, and (iii) developing a framework for a triggering mechanism in drought-prone districts.
