A Situation Analysis
Abstract
Malawi, officially known as the Republic of Malawi, is a small country located in the south-eastern part of Africa. It is bordered by Mozambique on the west and southwest, by Tanzania on the north and northeast, and by Zambia on the west and northwest. (United Nations 2017) Covering 118 484 sq.km of land and water surface area, (United Nations 2017; MoH 2017) the country boasts a rich cultural heritage, fertile soils that favor agriculture (the major driver of the country’s economy), beautiful landscapes (such as Mulanje Mountain and Lake Malawi, the third largest of the East African Rift Valley) and abundant flora and fauna (Figure 1). Malawians are characteristically warm, friendly, and peace-loving, and unmistakably, the country is branded the warm heart of Africa.
