- March food distributions are currently underway for both the floods and lean season relief responses (MVAC response). Some delays were experienced due to brief pipeline breaks for fortified vegetable oil and maize. March cash and voucher distributions under the MVAC response are completed, reaching 100 percent of planned.
- WFP requires a total of USD 10.8 million to meet a significant increase food security needs identified by a recent joint rapid food security assessment. This includes extending food and cash assistance under the MVAC response for one month into April and scaling up food assistance to some 616,000 food insecure flood victims in 17 districts. The flood victims in need of food assistance has risen by nearly 70 percent from initial figures.
- Of the total funding shortfall, USD 2.9 million is urgently needed to cover associated costs of the in-kind maize contributed by the Government of Malawi from its Strategic Grain Reserve (SGR).
