About

Unlike its neighbors, Malawi is not endowed with great mineral wealth or particularly fertile soil. It is landlocked, highly dependent on imports for essential commodities, and struggling to deal with high population growth. USAID’s work in Malawi pre-dates its 1964 independence, when USAID programs concentrated on strengthening English language instruction. Today, USAID's work in Malawi aims to:

  • Promote Malawi’s political and economic development
  • Improve the delivery of and access to health and education services
  • Strengthen food security through agricultural investments, and
  • Build resiliance and reduce reliance on international humanitarian assistance.
