本研究はマラウイの農村電化プログラム（MAREP）が生計向上と気候変動適応に与える影響を、バラカ県の村落で調査した。72人へのアンケートとカイ二乗検定の結果、医療サービス向上、収入創出、雇用創出などの社会経済的利益が確認され、化石燃料への依存低減や適応能力強化などの気候変動適応効果も示された。農村電化の拡大が社会経済と環境の両面で有益であることを実証している。
English
This study examines the impact of rural electrification (MAREP) on livelihoods and climate adaptation in a Malawian village. Survey data from 72 respondents and chi-square tests reveal significant socioeconomic benefits (health, income, jobs) and adaptation outcomes (reduced fossil fuel use, enhanced resilience). Findings support expanding rural electrification for dual socioeconomic and environmental gains.

📄 Abstract（原文）
Access to clean and affordable energy is important for improving livelihoods and promoting climate change adaptation, mitigation and resilience. This study examined how electricity provision through the Malawi Rural Electrification Programme (MAREP) influenced livelihoods and helped reduce activities that contribute to climate change in Mwaye Village, Balaka District, Malawi. Snowball sampling, saturation principles and structured questionnaires were used to collect data from 72 respondents. The data were analysed using the chi-square test. The results indicate that socioeconomic benefits associated with rural electrification differed significantly (X2=46.32; P<0.05). The main benefits were improved health service delivery (80.1%), income generation (76.5%), job opportunities (72.3%) and rural enterprise creation (71.4%). Other benefits included enhanced education services (56.1%), community development (52.6%) and youth empowerment (50.3%). The results further show that socioeconomic improvements had significantly different effects on climate change adaptation outcomes (X2=54.85; P<0.001). Reported outcomes included reduced dependence on fossil fuel-powered maize mills and generators (90.4%), reduced climate-related health risks (75.2%), reduced reliance on firewood and charcoal for energy (50.6%), strengthened community adaptive capacity (82.3%) and improved drought resilience (74.8%). Overall, the study demonstrates that rural electrification improves livelihoods while reducing emissions-related activities and strengthening community adaptation and resilience. The findings support the continued expansion of electricity distribution to rural areas of Malawi to advance socioeconomic and environmental gains.
