The United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) in partnership with the government of Malawi announced the testing of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV), or drones, as tools to assist in humanitarian efforts. On June 28, 2017, UNICEF deployed a humanitarian UAV in the area of Kasungu Aerodrome.
With the goal of providing controlled aerial services to universities and others, UNICEF hopes to gather logistical information to help enhance the use of UAVs with connectivity, transportation, and imagery of central Malawi. On the heels of a pilot project in March of 2016 that tested the viability of transporting dried blood samples via drones, testing the UAV humanitarian program in Kasungu Aerodrome will extend until June of 2018. Since Malawi is challenged with limited terrain access to many rural areas, UAVs offer a much cheaper and efficient travel solution.
