The most under-reported humanitarian crises in 2021 - Malawi

If you don’t read about it in the news, did it really happen? Every year, humanitarian crises affect millions of people around the world. From natural disasters to conflict and displacement, some crises make headlines, some simply don’t.
For this event series, the Friedrich Naumann Foundation teamed up with the aid organization CARE. CARE’s annual report “Suffering in Silence” highlights the ten most underreported crises of the past year. Together we shine a spotlight on each crisis, giving room for discussion and hearing from experts about challenges, opportunities, and the resilience of affected communities in each country.

Malawi: While it is industrialized nations that are exacerbating the climate crisis, it is low-income countries like Malawi that are suffering the consequences. Extreme weather events such as droughts, floods, and landslides are part of everyday life of Malawians and are expected to increase in frequency and severity in the coming years. We hereby invite you to join our discussion with international experts from politics, academia, and civil society.

CARE was founded in 1945 to support post-war Europe with the famous CARE packages. Today, the independent aid organization works in over 100 countries to provide humanitarian aid and fight poverty with a focus on empowering women and girls.
