This report presents the results of a biodiversity assessment for Malawi, conducted under the COMPASS II of USAID. The assessment is intended to help USAID/Malawi and COMPASS II to better integrate biodiversity into its ongoing programming. The purpose of the assessment, as stated in the Terms of Reference (Annex 1) is two-fold: 1. To review and summarize available information on the biodiversity of selected critical ecosystems in Malawi (including forested, savannah, and aquatic ecosystems) to document their present status, assess direct and indirect threats to their biodiversity, and summarize current government, NGO and donor programs that contribute to conservation and sustainable natural resources management; and 2. To convene and facilitate a participatory process of identifying opportunities presented by the biodiversity of the critical ecosystems, as well as recommended actions for COMPASS to take both to reduce or mitigate the threats to that biodiversity and to realize the full potential of the opportunities, including mechanisms for documenting and monitoring the links between the economic growth and biodiversity conservation. | ['Biodiversity', 'Sustainable Land Management', 'FRAME', 'COMPASS', 'Community-based Forest Management (CBFM)', 'USAID', 'Co-Management', 'Wildlife Society of Malawi', 'Malawi'] |

This volume is a sequel to the original Nature, Wealth, & Power framework paper (NWP1), produced in 2002. That document, although focused on rural Africa, was found useful by a variety of development practitioners around the world, and elicited significant interest from different disciplines and regions from both practical and theoretical perspectives. The world context has changed since 2002, and development theory and practice have also evolved. Therefore, in 2012, USAID initiated an assessment and updating of the NWP framework. This second framework paper (NWP2) is targeted at practitioners involved in the design, implementation, and evaluation of natural resource–based rural development activities around the world, trying to make them more equitable, efficient, and effective. We also hope it will be useful to policy makers who are designing policies, laws, and administrative instruments to spur rural development. It does not claim to be a sure-fire recipe for success, but is an updated framework compiled from and consisting of best practices.
