Malawi: Six in 10 Say Malawi On Wrong Track As Hunger, Cash Shortages Bite, Afrobarometer Survey Finds

Six in ten Malawians say their country is heading in the wrong direction, according to a new Afrobarometer survey. The findings point to a population under real pressure, with food insecurity, shrinking household incomes, and a climbing cost of living sitting at the centre of everyday frustration.

The survey captures a mood that many Malawians are already living. Families are stretching budgets that simply cannot stretch far enough, and for many, putting a meal on the table has become a daily uncertainty rather than a given.

With the numbers this stark, the conversation around leadership and accountability in Malawi is only going to get louder.
