Malawi Humanitarian Emergency
UNFPA/Henry Chimbali
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 risks associated with climate shocks, which contribute to failing harvests. As women and girls are forced to travel longer distances to collect food and water, food insecurity and poor access to water have increased the risk of gender-based violence (GBV). Additionally, Malawi continues to experience high rates of HIV infection and adolescent pregnancy, as a result of inadequate access to sexual and reproductive health (SRH) services and information. This is largely due to weaknesses in the country's health system. Poor access to maternal healthcare, meanwhile, places mothers at risk of complications during childbirth, which can cause long-lasting health problems, including fistula, or even death. UNFPA provides SRH services to affected people and supports GBV prevention and response mechanisms in Malawi.
