| | Situation Reports: Southern Africa Humanitarian Crisis, Malawi humanitarian situation report, 30 May 2006 |
 | | In the period 23-28 April 2006 the Malawi Vulnerability Assessment Committee (MVAC) conducted its annual field assessments in the Districts of Nsanje, Chikwawa, Blantyre, Kasungu, Mzimba, Dowa, Ntchisi, Salima, Mangochi, Phalombe, Zomba, Rumphi, and Karonga. |
 | | Initially, the MVAC planned to present their findings to decision makers and donors in the second week of May 2006, but due to floods in the Nkhata Bay area at the time of the field assessments the MVAC team had to postpone the assessment in the district until the area became accessible. |
 | | The results of the nutrition assessment, which focussed on anthropometric indicators, care practices, livelihoods, wealth, morbidity and mortality indicators, will be integrated into the final MVAC report, which is scheduled for release in June. |
