The floods that Malawi experienced early 2015 were the worst in decades. The impact was far-reaching, directly affecting 1.1 million people and destroying peoples’ crops and property as well as public infrastructure. In view of this, the Government of Malawi, through the leadership of the Department of Disaster Management Affairs, initiated
processes for the development of a Recovery Framework with technical support from the United Nations, the World
Bank and the Global Facility for Disaster Reduction and Recovery (GFDRR), and funding through the Africa Caribbean
Pacific - European Union (ACP-EU) program.
