The Department of Disaster and Management Affairs (DoDMA) has developed a plan with other non-governmental organization in assisting 20 hunger stricken districts with financial and food aid across the country.

This comes as one way of helping needy people following a report by Malawi Vulnerability Assessment Committee (MVAC).
