The Malawi 2023 Tropical Cyclone Freddy Post-Disaster Needs Assessment report assesses the impacts of the disaster and provides recommendations for building back better in recovery and reconstruction.

Our visit comes at a time when Malawi is recovering from the devastating impacts of Tropical Cyclone Freddy, which led to the tragic loss of many lives, displaced hundreds of thousands of people, and destroyed a great deal of the country's infrastructure.

With an economy relying heavily on rain-fed agriculture, Malawi is increasingly vulnerable to climate shocks. Malawi has seen increases in the frequency and severity of droughts, which cause the poorest and most vulnerable communities the most suffering

Cooperation between Malawi, China and UNDP is helping vulnerable communities take the initiative to minimise flood risks

Scotland is one of the first countries in the world to stump up cash for "loss and damage" caused by climate change in poorer countries.

When multiple responders operate in the same disaster-prone region, there’s always a risk of duplication (at best) and confusion (at worst).

This paper takes a systems approach to understanding, characterizing, and measuring community flood resilience.
