Approximately 4.2 million people (20 percent of the population in Malawi) were expected to experience “high levels of acute food insecurity” between June and September 2024, including 56,000 people facing an “emergency” and 4.1 million in “crisis,” according to an IPC report. Most of these people are in southern Malawi. Worse news: The situation is expected to deteriorate during the projection period (October-March), which coincides with the “lean season.”

A vocational skills center for youth opens in southern Malawi hoping to help young people and help elders who care for them. This could counter the high dropout rate from schools and help end the cultural practice of child marriages.
