Forest Landscape Restoration: Community forest opportunity (geonode:commforest_opp_shp)
This dataset represents the opportunity area for implementing community forest and woolot interventions as modeled for the National Forest Landscape Restoration Assessment. Community forests (such as graveyards and village forest areas (VFAs)) and woodlots are areas of customary or private land set aside and managed for wood and range of provisioning, regulating and non-wood-cultural services including, non-timber products, medicinal plants and burial. They may be managed by a Traditional Authority, a community, a family or an individual. Community non-cultural forests and woodlots, if planned and managed properly, can provide a regular supply of products (e.g., poles, timber, fuel wood, fruit, etc.) for household consumption and/or for sale. Both through provision of wood products and income, community forests can reduce pressure on forest reserves and other protected areas.

Biodiversity and Degradation, Restoration Priority (geonode:degradation_biodiversity)
Forest landscape restoration opportunity for biodiversity, this analysis multiplies the magnitude of coincident biodiversity criteria in the Biodiversity Opportunity Areas map (as defined in the National Forest Landscape Restoration Assessment, 2017) with the magnitude of coincident criteria in the Functional Degradation map. The result demonstrates a level of priority for FLR intervention activities that would conceivably support both biodiversity priorities and the restoration of degraded land.
Food Security and Degradation, Restoration Priority (geonode:degradation_foodsecurity)
Forest landscape restoration opportunity for food security, this analysis multiplies the magnitude of coincident food security criteria in the Food Security Opportunity Areas map with the magnitude of coincident criteria in the Functional Degradation map. The result demonstrates a level of priority for FLR intervention activities that would conceivably support both food security and the restoration of degraded land.
Forest Landscape Restoration Priority (geonode:degradation_fs_res_bio_add)
Data shows the sum of the three priority landscape restoration scenarios that formed the objectives of FLR in Malawi. These data demonstrate priority areas for addressing all of the FLR themes in Malawi, as described in the National Assessment and are underpinned by an assessment of functional degradation . These data indicate the highest priority areas based on an additive treatment of the product of three multi-criteria analyses (food security*degradation + resilience*degradation + and biodiversity*degradation). Based on the input data, restoration in the highest priority areas would most benefit all of the input criteria, including drivers of degradation.
Resilience and Degradation, Restoration Priority (geonode:degradation_resilience)
Forest landscape restoration opportunity for resilience, this analysis multiplies the magnitude of coincident resilience criteria in the Resilience Opportunity Areas map (as defined in the National Forest Landscape Restoration Assessment, 2017) with the magnitude of coincident criteria in the Functional Degradation map. The result demonstrates a level of priority for FLR intervention activities that would conceivably support both resilience and the restoration of degraded land.

Malawi - Admin boundaries (GAUL) (geonode:gaul_malawi_poly)
The Global Administrative Unit Layers (GAUL) is an initiative implemented by FAO within the CountrySTAT and Agricultural Market Information System (AMIS) projects. The GAUL compiles and disseminates the best available information on administrative units for all the countries in the world, providing a contribution to the standardization of the spatial dataset representing administrative units. The GAUL always maintains global layers with a unified coding system at country, first (e.g. departments) and second administrative levels (e.g. districts). Where data is available, it provides layers on a country by country basis down to third, fourth and lowers levels. The overall methodology consists in a) collecting the best available data from most reliable sources, b) establishing validation periods of the geographic features (when possible), c) adding selected data to the global layer based on the last country boundaries map provided by the UN Cartographic Unit (UNCS), d) generating codes using GAUL Coding System and e) distribute data to the users (see TechnicalArticleG2014.pdf). Because GAUL works at global level, unsettled territories are reported. The approach of GAUL is to deal with these areas in such a way to preserve national integrity for all disputing countries (see TechnicalArticleG2014.pdf and G2014_DisputedAreas.dbf). GAUL is released once a year and the target beneficiary of GAUL data is the UN community and other authorized international and national partners. Data might not be officially validated by authoritative national sources and cannot be distributed to the general public. A disclaimer should always accompany any use of GAUL data.

Karonga fluvial flood risk ( 5 years return period) (geonode:malawi_karonga_flo_wd_fluvial_12m_t0005)
Karonga fluvial flood risk 5 years return period probability generated as part of Northern region and Lake Malawi Flood risk management project by RASOR (rasor-project.eu) for Global Facility for Disaster Risk reduction and the government of Malawi between June 2015- June 2016. RASOR has developed the flood risk model by adapting a newly developed 12m resolution TanDEM-X Digital Elevation Model (DEM) to flood risk management applications and using it as a base layer to interrogate data sets and develop specific flood disaster scenarios. RASOR overlays archived and near-real time very-high resolution optical and radar satellite data, combined with in-situ data for Malawi local applications. The probability of a flood event occurring is expressed as a return period. A flood return is the inverse of probability (generally expressed in %), it gives the estimated time interval between events of a similar size or intensity. For example, the return period of a flood might be 5 years; otherwise expressed as its probability of occurring being 1/5, or 20% in any one year. This means that, in any given year, there is a 1% chance that it will happen, regardless of when the last similar event was.
Karonga fluvial flood risk ( 20 years return period) (geonode:malawi_karonga_flo_wd_fluvial_12m_t0020)

For example, the return period of a flood might be 100 years; otherwise expressed as its probability of occurring being 1/100, or 1% in any one year. This means that, in any given year, there is a 1% chance that it will happen, regardless of when the last similar event was. Or, put differently, it is 10 times less likely to occur than a flood with a return period of 10 years (or a probability of 10%)

For example, the return period of a flood might be 500 years; otherwise expressed as its probability of occurring being 1/500, or 0.2% in any one year. This means that, in any given year, there is a 0.2% chance that it will happen, regardless of when the last similar event was.
Malawi Landcover 1990 Scheme I (geonode:malawi_landcover_1990_schema_1)
Land Cover maps were developed for Green Houses gases Inventories to provide baseline data for Land use, land-use change and forestry (LULUCF)sector. The coverage for the Land Cover maps is six Eastern and Southern Africa (ESA) countries: Malawi, Rwanda, Zambia, Namibia, Botswana and Tanzania. The Land Cover maps have been developed from Landsat Imagery (30m by 30m) resolution using supervised classification. Image interpretation was done per scene. Images used for classification were selected based on seasonality, dry season images preferred. Land Cover maps are developed for two epochs: 2010 and 2000. For each year flexibility in image selection is allowed from previous and next year in each epoch. An epoch for 1990 is available in some of the project countries: Malawi and Rwanda. Classification scheme used is based on Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) 6 land over categories for Schema I: Forestland, Grassland, Wetland, Cropland, Settlement and Other land. Classification Scheme II is informed by country specific interest, definitions, descriptions, mapping goals and policy statements and documents with guidance from IPCC Good Practice guidelines. Scheme II is such that it meets the country specific mapping standards and can be rolled back to the IPCC categories. Final map is taken through a 3 pixel by 3 pixel filter to eliminate salt and pepper effect and remove isolated pixels.

Mangochi District pluvial flood risk 10 years return period probability generated as part of Northern region and Lake Malawi Flood risk management project by RASOR (rasor-project.eu) for Global Facility for Disaster Risk reduction and the government of Malawi between June 2015- June 2016. RASOR has developed the flood risk model by adapting a newly developed 12m resolution TanDEM-X Digital Elevation Model (DEM) to flood risk management applications and using it as a base layer to interrogate data sets and develop specific flood disaster scenarios. RASOR overlays archived and near-real time very-high resolution optical and radar satellite data, combined with in-situ data for Malawi local applications. The probability of a flood event occurring is expressed as a return period. A flood return is the inverse of probability (generally expressed in %), it gives the estimated time interval between events of a similar size or intensity. For example, the return period of a flood might be 10 years; otherwise expressed as its probability of occurring being 1/10, or 10% in any one year. This means that, in any given year, there is a 10% chance that it will happen, regardless of when the last similar event was

Forest Landscape Restoration: River and stream-bank restoration opportunity (geonode:river_stream_opp_shp)
This dataset represents the opportunity area for implementing river- and stream-bank interventions as modeled for the National Forest Landscape Restoration Assessment. River- and stream-bank restoration focuses on establishing buffers of trees along streams and rivers courses to stabilize the soil, either through active planting or natural regeneration. The benefits of these protective buffers include decreased erosion and sedimentation into waterways, which improves water quality and quantity. This practice is particularly important in watersheds with downstream hydropower and reservoir infrastructure, where sedimentation is a major impediment to their efficiency and sustainability.

Forest Landscape Restoration: Soil and water conservation opportunity (geonode:soil_water_cons_opp_shp)
This dataset represents the opportunity area for implementing the soil and water conservation interventions as modeled for the National Forest Landscape Restoration Assessment. Soil and water conservation interventions involve establishing small-scale infrastructure such as check dams, terraces, infiltration trenches, and contour bunds along slopes and hillsides for the purposes of regulating water flow during heavy rains to prevent intense erosion and gully formation. These types of infrastructure are particularly important where croplands are located at the base of these hillsides and thus are more vulnerable to soil and nutrient loss and crop damage from heavy or rapid water flow. The check dams and terraces serve to reduce the force of water flow downslope while the infiltration ditches and contour bunds absorb and accumulate soil and water. Planting vetiver grass and other vegetation along the slopes also adds to the absorption and mitigation benefits.
