With a US$ 718,201.00grant, FISD is implementing the Integrated Approaches to Natural Resources Management and Conservation for sustainable Hydro-power (INA-CoSH) Project in the Lunzu-Linjidzi (Blantyre) priority sub-catchment under the environmental and natural resources management (ENRM) project funded by MCA-Malawi. The project seeks to address the ENRM related prevailing challenges leading to the inefficient power generation by Electricity Generation Company (EGENCO).

Specifically the project intends to contribute towards sustainable community poverty reduction through social economic empowerment and it envisages that at least 13,000 farm families in the sub-catchment would benefit through a myriad of approaches for management, conservation and protection of natural resources.

One of the key interventions that has drawn the attention of many people in Blantyre and the surrounding districts is the promotion of solar Irrigation farming, through the construction of Bakasala Solar Irrigation Scheme.
