Assessment report on mainstreaming and implementing disaster risk reduction measures in Malawi

Abstract

This assessment report on mainstreaming and implementing disaster risk reduction (DRR) measures in Malawi was prepared within the framework of the United Nations Development Account (UNDA) project on mainstreaming disaster risk reduction in national and regional development strategies in support of both efforts to meet the Millennium Development Goals and the attainment of sustainable development goals in Africa. This report presents findings on the assessment of the progress and experiences in mainstreaming the planning and implementation of DRR measures as part of national development strategies, plans and programs in Malawi. The report provided input into preparing the sub regional assessment report. It also served as a key resource for the sub regional DRR capacity development workshop, which among others showcased and promoted good practices to scale up the mainstreaming and implementation of DDR measures as part of development frameworks.
