Malawi and Southern Africa: Climatic Variability and Economic Performance

Content:

Disaster Risk Management Working Paper Series No. 7
As part of its efforts to promote disaster prevention and mitigation as an integral part of development activities, the World Bank's Disaster Management Facility undertook a study on the economic and financial consequences of natural disasters. The study entails a state-of-the art review and three country case studies. The first case study was conducted on Dominica, a small island economy (Benson and Clay 2001). The second study focused on disasters and public finances in Bangladesh (Benson and Clay 2002). The third case study, which focuses on climatic variability in southern Africa including a country study of Malawi, is reported in this document. A final synthesis report draws together the new evidence with that from the researchers' previous studies and other relevant literature.
