Climate and Disaster Risk Finance in Malawi: Stocktake Report
Malawi is highly vulnerable to natural hazards and climate-related risks, particularly droughts and floods. Approximately 73% of the population live in areas susceptible to climate-related hazards. The country’s economy relies heavily on agriculture, making it especially susceptible to climate risk. Despite ongoing efforts, Malawi’s DRF framework faces significant challenges, including fiscal constraints, low insurance penetration, and limited financial protection mechanisms. Malawi faces several challenges in the use of CDRF instruments as financial tools for responding to climate and disaster risks.
