How exposed the money is
Computed by the app from the evidence cards it links to, with fixed rules, so two briefs on the same scope say the same thing.
Donor concentration and cuts E61
Computed by the app: OECD CRS gross disbursements in this scope, 2024 (card E28), all official donors USD 1,704.1m; donors' total net ODA from OECD DAC1 (card E38).
donor's total aid fell more than 10% in the latest provisional year
- 32% Largest donor's share
- 69% Three largest donors' share
- 28% Share from donors whose total aid fell more than 10% (2024→2025) (USD 475.7 m)
- 14% Rough estimate for 2025, not a forecast: less in this scope if those cuts fell evenly (USD 232.9 m)
Exposed: a donor whose total aid fell more than 10% in the OECD's provisional latest year. Rough estimate method: each donor's 2024 aid in this scope, reduced by the same percentage as its total aid fell from 2024 to 2025 in the OECD's provisional figures, summed over donors that fell more than 10%; donors that did not cut count as unchanged. It assumes each donor cut this country as much as its overall aid; in practice donors protect some countries and cut others harder. The OECD's country figures for 2025 will replace it, usually about a year after the year ends. Only the donors listed on the OECD card are assessed; multilateral donors are not in the OECD's donor totals.

OECD Climate-related development finance, recipient perspective, 2022–2024: commitments in current USD millions; retrieved 2026-10-13. Commitments, not disbursements. Bilateral activities count at full value when climate is a principal or significant objective (OECD Rio markers), so the totals are an upper bound; multilateral development banks report only each project's climate component. The 'principal objective or climate component only' row is the stricter measure. Adaptation and mitigation overlap where an activity targets both, so they do not add up to the total. Malawi: USD 584.5m in 2022 → USD 652.2m in 2024 (+12%); peak USD 669.2m in 2023.

Computed by the app: OECD CRS gross disbursements in this scope, 2024 (card E28), all official donors USD 1,704.1m; donors' total net ODA from OECD DAC1 (card E38). Exposed: a donor whose total aid fell more than 10% in the OECD's provisional latest year. Rough estimate method: each donor's 2024 aid in this scope, reduced by the same percentage as its total aid fell from 2024 to 2025 in the OECD's provisional figures, summed over donors that fell more than 10%; donors that did not cut count as unchanged. It assumes each donor cut this country as much as its overall aid; in practice donors protect some countries and cut others harder. The OECD's country figures for 2025 will replace it, usually about a year after the year ends. Only the donors listed on the OECD card are assessed; multilateral donors are not in the OECD's donor totals.

Donor: Germany. Channel of delivery: Public corporations (donor govt.). Recipient: Malawi. Purpose: Basic nutrition. Disbursed USD 12.4m in 2023. Description (donor-reported): The project contributes to improved health for women and children, with positive effects on the development of small children in terms of school performance and thus also on the country's economic development in the medium term.

The population benefits indirectly from the measure, as the children grow up healthier and thus also more efficient. Medical costs and times can be reduced.

UNDP Human Development Report, composite indices time series; UNDP and OPHI global Multidimensional Poverty Index; latest year per measure; retrieved 2026-11-08. The HDI combines life expectancy, schooling and income per person; the inequality-adjusted HDI discounts it for how unequally these are shared. Multidimensional poverty counts people deprived in several of health, education and living standards at once, from the household survey named in the year column. Displacement counts are IOM's latest national round and are shown only where IOM reports one; check the year before comparing. Malawi HDI: 0.494 in 2013 → 0.517 in 2023 (+5%); peak 0.517 in 2023.

CHIRPS satellite rainfall estimates with station data, averaged per region by WFP, via the HDX Humanitarian API; rolling periods ending 20 Oct 2026; retrieved 2026-11-08. Percentages compare with the 1989-2018 average for the same period. Recent periods use preliminary estimates that are replaced by final data about a month later. 'Dry period' marks regions whose average for the period is under 30 mm, where a percentage says little. Rainfall is one input to harvests and water supply, not a drought declaration. Driest regions first. Region names are matched to WFP's region codes from OCHA's common operational boundaries (current and earlier editions), checked against the size of each region in WFP's data; 1 region without a confirmed name is shown by code only.
