In line with the Government’s manifesto commitments, we are supporting over 70,000 girls in Malawi this year to receive an education, we will have saved 6,000 women’s lives from childbirth related deaths by 2018, and we are providing support in food security, agriculture and economic development, so that those most in need have an opportunity to escape poverty. Furthermore, the UK has been working with the police, lower level courts and community based organisations to increase access to justice and improve safety and security at the community level for 400,000 women. During his recent visit, the Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State, James Wharton MP, lobbied the Government of Malawi to ensure that reforms are delivered to maximise the impact of UKAid on the vulnerable, including maize market reform so that poor families have access to affordable food. He also announced additional UK humanitarian support for over 750,000 vulnerable people.
