How Positive Development™
Works At Lake Malawi

A whole-ecosystem approach where agriculture, fisheries, SME
uplift, education, ecotourism, public health and conservation
reinforce each other

Positive Development™ works by treating Lake Malawi as a single
interconnected ecosystem - linking land, water, communities and local
economies

Instead of minimizing harm, we identify leverage points where interventions create mutually-
reinforcing, compounding benefits across sectors and over time

Regenerative farming improves water quality, healthier water boosts aquaculture and public health,
circular SMEs turn waste into value, student and community learning builds local capacity and eco-
tourism expands opportunities for youth

By engineering these positive tipping points and ensuring that the Living Lab is a true center of
learning, Malawi becomes the world's first demonstration of the post-Sustainability future in action
