Project Data

The objective is to develop and manage a comprehensive national biodiversity database using BRAHMS, through training of NHBG technical staff and its local partners; including Environmental Affairs Department (EAD) which is a central user of biodiversity information, particularly at policy level. The database will initially be constructed using datasets comprising plants and animal biodiversity species, Threatened plants, Invasive Alien Species (IAS) and Pollinator species.

Title BID - Strengthening Malawi's Biodiversity Information Facility
Identifier BID-AF2017-0385-NAC
Funding European Union
Study Area Description This is Lymantriidae Biodiversity data collected by Raymond Murphy for various places in Malawi. It has been mobilised as part of a BID project titled Strengthening Malawi's Biodiversity Information Facility.
Design Description The approach is to mobilize, digitize and publish the selected biodiversity datasets. The developing database will be published online from the outset and then regularly updated. A website will also be created and linked to the database; providing access to reliable biodiversity information for research and natural resources management.
