Humanitarian Aid for Malawi

Lodged by Bob Doris (Scottish National Party) Standard Motion 17 supporters

The motion

That the Parliament recognises that the Scottish Catholic International Aid Fund (SCIAF) has received funding from Scotland's Humanitarian Emergency Fund to help Malawian partners address food insecurity, malnutrition and climate-related shocks in Malawi; notes reports of increasing rates of moderate and acute malnutrition, particularly among children under five and pregnant and lactating women; believes that SCIAF's approach, which includes cash transfers to highly vulnerable households, such as female-headed households, families with malnourished children, people with disabilities, child-headed households and flood-affected families, can save lives; understands that packs of Fortified Corn Soya Blend (FCSB) as supplementary food is needed for the most at-risk households, and further understands that Scotland's Humanitarian Emergency Fund has made SCIAF's holistic humanitarian response of cash transfers and supplementary food possible in Malawi and has helped protect child growth and maternal health while supporting community recovery and economic stability.
