The Malawi Environmental Endowment Trust (MEET) is the product of a Working Group established in 1998 comprising the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) Malawi, the Danish International Development Agency (DANIDA), the Government of Malawi (GoM), the University of Malawi and other local environmental and natural resource management experts to find sustainable solutions to environmental problems. The major recommendation of the Working Group was the formation of an endowment fund as a practical solution and answer to Malawi’s late and often inadequate funding to environmental programs. The Trust was registered on the 5th March 1999 under the Trustees Incorporation Act of 1962 of the Laws of Malawi.
