application/pdfSTATEMENT ON ACTIONS IN ADDRESSING LOSSES AND DAMAGES DUE TOMalawi is a disaster-prone country with common hazards such as floods, heavy rains, strong winds, earthquakes and disease and pest outbreaks, among others.

Most of the Districts in Malawi are very vulnerable as they are from time to time affected by extreme weather events.
