Malawi - Cyclone Freddy Emergency Humanitarian Response

The proposed operation is the Bank Group’s immediate response to the appeal by the Government of Malawi for urgent humanitarian assistance following the declaration of a State of Disaster in 14 districts in the Southern Region of the country because of the devastation caused by Cyclone Freddy. This is an emergency relief assistance from the Bank Group to the Government of Malawi to support ongoing humanitarian efforts by the government and other development partners to save lives and address the immediate and short-term needs of the displaced people affected by the devastations caused by Cyclone Freddy. The activities that would be supported by the grant will make significant contribution towards assuring access to food by the affected population as well as improving the living conditions in the campsites through provision of water treatment accessories and blankets.
