This line graph represents continual poverty monitoring in rural, southern Malawi from August 2020 until July 2023. The data was collected using the Survey of Well-being via Instant and Frequent Tracking (SWIFT), and shows how poverty typically decreases during harvest season but declined less after the impact of repeated cyclones
Grey areas represent the harvest season (roughly from April to June) and red lines represent when two cyclones hit Malawi: Tropical Storm Ana on February 2022 and Cyclone Freddy on March 2023
