Malawi


The Challenge

HIV/AIDS, illiteracy, lack of markets, and governance issues prevent Malawi from achieving food security and economic prosperity. USAID programs in Malawi will reduce the percentage of chronically food insecure people in target areas by 10% over the next five years by improving agricultural techniques, the availability of farming inputs, and crop diversification. USAID will promote increased household incomes by increasing agricultural and rural enterprise opportunities, improving health conditions, providing education support for children of marginalized populations, and promoting sustainable use of natural resources.
