Welcome to the WikiProject Malawi! This group was formed to better organize articles on Malawi in a spirit of cooperation.

Scope

This group includes within its scope all articles related to Malawi, its cities, geography, transportation, culture, history and so on. It aims to expand Wikipedia's resources on Malawi in a fair and accurate manner. All of these articles should be contained within the Category:Malawi or one of its subcategories.

Things to do

This is a list of open tasks. Feel free to add to any of the lists or remove requests when they are completed. For other requests, please leave a note on the talk page.

  1. Healthcare in Malawi start-class, ranked top-importance. I would like to restructure this article and add a number of more specific sections that are clearly articulated and cited. There are a number of scholarly/reliable sources that I would like to draw from, one example is the world fact book for updated data on health indicators. I am a student that is very interested in this topic and am working on this article for a class at Rice University. Any input/guidance is greatly appreciated. A more comprehensive contribution proposal can be found on my user page. Brookeethleen (talk) 00:42, 9 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  1. I am planning on updating the Malawian food crisis article. It is currently out-of-date and only has information up to 2005. After the 2005 food crisis, Malawi was on the rise and even had a surplus of maize for some years; interventions by the Malawian government and international organizations (primarily fertilizer subsidy programs for farmers) allowed Malawi to recover. Recently, however, due to periods of flooding and drought (among other causes), the maize yield has been dangerously low and the food shortage has returned. I plan on updating the article to reflect these changes. I would also like to look more deeply at the food crisis of the early 2000s and expound on the political, social, economic, and agricultural causes and the cultural, health, and policy effects of the food crisis. For more information about my plan to update the article, please look at the talk page of Malawian food crisis. Please let me know if you have any feedback on my proposed edits, either on this WikiProject page or the talk page of Malawian food crisis. I plan on drawing from scholarly sources (articles from academic journals about the early 2000s food crisis), reports from NGOs (UN, ActionAid, etc.), and some news articles. Although I would, ideally, like to draw from only scholarly sources, not much information is available about the current food crisis beyond news articles and some reports from NGOs. If anybody has any suggestions as to what other reliable sources I could look at, please let me know. Avw1 (talk) 14:52, 25 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Expansion needed

The following is a small selection of particularly tiny stubs from Category:Stub-Class Malawi articles. Any text you can add to expand these stubs is greatly appreciated. The aim is to get all of these stubs to Start class articles:
