Project narrative

In December 2014, the Chinese Ministry of Commerce committed $5,914,251 USD for the Disaster Management and Risk Reduction Project in Malawi, according to a report from the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) (see Record ID#58234). The project provides small grants for projects proposed by non-governmental organizations and local-level community groups in rural Malawi communities and general funding to the Malawi Dept of Disaster Management Affairs, according to the UNDP. One of these sub-projects financed by this program was a flood shelter built in the Salma area of central Malawi. The value of this flood shelter project is unknown.
