Country Overview
Malawi is one of the world’s poorest nations. Attaining the Millennium Development Goal of eradicating extreme poverty poses a serious challenge, considering that 62 percent of the population lives on less than $1.25 per day. Food insecurities persist due to poor agricultural production, rapid population growth, and environmental degradation, and 46 percent of children under 5 are stunted.
