Abstract
The multi-stakeholder analysis for Lake Chilwa catchment basin evaluated the economics of climate change adaptation. Soil and water conservation technologies in irrigation and in rain-fed agriculture will increase benefits for all stakeholders. As well, it will improve the efficiency of adaptation strategies being implemented in other resource sectors – including closed seasons for fishing and bird hunting – and help ensure sustainability. These mechanisms would also yield an estimated additional US$ 8,473,433 per year in food crops while eliminating losses to fisheries and bird resources. Effective planning and implementation of climate change adaptation strategies requires thorough communication with all stakeholders.
