January 2026 Visit Malawi Tetsu Sato
From January 21st February 4th, 2026, Tetsu Sato travel to Malawi.
As the project entered its final phase, the JST team traveled to Malawi to conduct the terminal evaluation. They carried out interviews at the Department of National Parks and Wildlife, at the University of Malawi, at the Monkey Bay Capture Fisheries Centre, at Lake Malawi National Park Office, and at Chembe village. They also held an on-site briefing session for the terminal evaluation. We believe that these activities provided many valuable insights into the project’s final outcomes.
After completing the evaluation, a new diving survey for Chirundu was conducted in Chembe Village. During the survey, we were able to confirm the partial settlement of Mbuna species as well as the reproduction of Kampango in the existing Chirundu area.
