Malawi Humanitarian Emergency
Malawi is among the poorest countries in the world and is vulnerable to weather-related disasters, including droughts, floods and cyclones. High dependence on agriculture exacerbates the impact of climate shocks, which contribute to failing harvests. Food insecurity forces women and girls to travel longer distances to collect food and water, thereby exposing them to increased risk of gender-based violence. UNFPA provides sexual and reproductive health services to people affected by crisis and supports GBV prevention and response mechanisms in Malawi.
