Investment Rationale

Supporting a local organization working at the nexus of IWRM and WASH is a smart climate-resilience investment in Malawi, tackling water scarcity at its source while reinforcing reliable WASH services.

• Demonstrated systems impact, from co-creating Malawi's Water Asset Management Information System (MWAMIS) to enforcing accountability across the drilling sector.

• Scalable, supply-side solution that protects groundwater availability and underpins long-term water security.

Impact & Outcomes 

BASEflow built MWAMIS, transforming groundwater management from reactive crisis response to proactive, data-driven risk prevention.

• Demonstrated results: Restored water access for 215,000+ people, conserved 91 million liters of groundwater through artesian well remediation, and rehabilitated 30 national monitoring wells.

• System-level payoff: MWAMIS is enabling Malawi to detect and manage groundwater risks at scale — protecting reliable water access for millions of rural households over the long term.
