  • Shining light on the scale, use, and impact of household solar for achieving energy access in rural Malawi

  • Willingness to pay for improved water supply services in Malawi’s small-scale irrigation schemes

    James Tsogolani, Chamuka Dickson Thebulo et al.ARTICLEAgrekon2025

    Small-scale irrigation schemes play a pivotal role in enhancing the resilience of smallholder farming systems by shielding agricultural production from climate shocks such as droughts and erratic rainfall. These schemes are potential game changers for Malawi's agriculture sector, which is highly vulnerable to inconsistent rainfall patterns that undermine crop yields and threaten livelihoods. However, the effectiveness and sustainability of irriga…

  • What incentives motivate smallholder farmers to reduce deforestation? Evidence from Nigeria's rainforest region

    Open AccessChizoba Obianuju Oranu, Charles Jumbe et al.ARTICLETrees Forests and People2025

    Deforestation has persistently undermined forests' critical role in providing environmental services and livelihood support. In developing countries like Nigeria, small-scale agriculture significantly drives deforestation. This study analyzes farmers' preferences for incentives to reduce deforestation and its influencing factors using data from 634 smallholder farmers in Cross Rivers State, located in Nigeria's rainforest region. The Conditional …

  • Can off-grid household solar provide sustainable energy for all? Adoption and sustained use of solar technologies in Malawi

    Open AccessA Mahieu, Ryan McCord et al.ARTICLEEnergy Research & Social Science2025References: 4

    Malawi has one of the lowest rates of electricity access globally, particularly in rural areas where just 5.6 % of households have electricity access. Like many African countries, Malawi is working towards universal electricity access by promoting decentralized solar technologies. We analyze data from a two-wave quasi-experimental quantitative impact evaluation involving 1371 households in rural Malawi to characterize solar technologies and their…

  • Measuring the Degree of Integration in the Dairy Products Market in Malawi

    Open AccessNeil Chalmers, Cesar Revoredo‐giha et al.ARTICLESocial Sciences2019References: 3

    Using monthly data for the period 2006–2011, this study analyzed the degree of spatial market integration in Malawi focusing on two dairy products (liquid milk and powdered milk) sold in the four major towns of the country. The analysis of spatial market integration is important to assess whether to re-establish a dairy processing facility in the northern part of the country. The empirical analysis comprised of the following steps: (1) Integratio…

  • How does population density influence agricultural intensification and productivity? Evidence from Malawi

    Open AccessJacob Ricker-Gilbert, Charles Jumbe et al.ARTICLEFood Policy2014Cited by: 21References: 9

    This article uses nationally representative household-level panel data from Malawi to estimate how rural population density impacts agricultural intensification and household well-being. We find that areas of higher population density are associated with smaller farm sizes, lower real agricultural wage rates, and higher real maize prices. Any input intensification that occurs seems to be going to increasing maize yields, as we find no evidence th…
