Overview :
United Nations Development Programme is supporting the Department of Disaster Management Affairs (DODMA) to coordinate the disaster risk management Sector. Following the adoption of Sustainable Development Goals; Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction, the World Humanitarian summit and Malawi Growth and Development Strategy III, Malawi has embarked on the development agenda that is linking all these instruments towards resilience. A common denominator in these instruments and other multilateral agreements which Malawi has ratified, is a commitment towards risk informed development.
Malawi continues to experience increasing cases of disasters, with the most frequent being extremes of drought and floods. The key drivers to frequent disasters include environmental degradation and climate change coupled with multi-dimensional poverty and other social-economic factors that affect the adaptive capacity of the vulnerable population to cope with a changing climate. Currently, 15 out of a total of 28 districts is considered as disaster prone, and urban vulnerabilities and new hazards continue to increase the vulnerability of the population. One of the areas where the DRM and humanitarian sector requires urgent attention is management of information for planning, analysing trends and losses of lives and property, as well as reporting to global multilateral agreements which Malawi has ratified.
