This appeal follows an alert that was issued on 28 August 2015. The issuing of the appeal was delayed due to lack of funding. Now based on interest from ACT funding members and following advice from the ACT secretariat, the ACT forum in Malawi decided to revised the appeal in order to include only 1 ACT Requesting Member and to reduce significantly the appeal target.
The overall goal is to restore dignity and save lives of 1,000 households (5,500 people) affected by food insecurity in Dowa District.
Appeal Target: US$ 840,396.
Relatively late pledges to the Appeal delayed the implementation for one of the ACT members, EELCO. Additionally, in the meantime newly identified gaps in EELCO’s areas of intervention have motivated some change of activities. As a result, EELCO will revise its part of the Appeal, and request for an extension, while FCA, NCA and ECC remains unchanged (and their implementation period is now over). This first revision only affects EELCO part of the Appeal.

6 August 2015 – A massive 7.8 magnitude earthquake with an epicenter approximately 80 km north‐west of the ancient Nepali capital city of Kathmandu struck central Nepal at 11:41 AM on 25 April 2015. This is the most powerful earthquake to hit the region since the Bihar earthquake of 1934, and its impact has been devastating in terms of loss of life and destruction of infrastructure. As of the 20 May, the confirmed death toll in Nepal has reached 8,600. On top of this tragic loss of life, there has been massive damage to housing and other socio-economic infrastructure. In addition to this first crisis, a second 7.3 magnitude earthquake struck Nepal on 12 May, with the epicenter on the border between Sindhupalchowk and Dolakha Districts, 76 km northeast of Kathmandu, exacerbating damage from the earlier quake, and expanding the geographical area of death and destruction.
The appeal is being revised to include the programme of ACT Nepal Forum member ICCO Cooperation, whose primary objective is to recover and improve the income generation of 10004 households mostly affected. This revised appeal replaces the appeal issued on 2 June 2015, now removed from our web site.
