The Malawi Civil Society Network on Climate Change (CISONECC), coordinates the civil society response to climate change. Several international NGOs work in Malawi on climate change as well. storms, when designing water and sanitation. Include CRM in Environmental Compliance documents and implement the projects EMMP. Ensure construction firms are aware of climate risk prior to construction, and follow practices that are suitable for local weather and climate conditions. Meet minimum Disaster Risk Reduction standards in terms of structural integrity, particularly rehabilitation of schools outside of the floodplain. Because schools are existing infrastructre, schools identified for rehabiltation in flood plain will only receive rehabilitation to make them functional such as handicap accessibilitity, furniture, and WASH rehabilitation. Architectural and Engineering Firm. Evaluate sites for potential flooding, water issues due to droughts and increased temperatures, and lack of access to schools due to potential flooding. Analysis of how climate change will impact construction design, including material selection, and long-term use of buildings.
