Description |
The household and individual surveys were undertaken in rural areas of two districts of Malawi, Lilongwe District in Central Malawi and Phalombe District in Southern Malawi - specifically, from four enumeration areas in one 'traditional authority' area in each of Lilongwe District and Phalombe District. Data were collected from 400 households (200 in each district), at two time points – May 2017, representing a post-harvest season when maize prices are expected to be low, and February/March 2018 representing a lean season (usually October to March) with maize prices expected to be high. The household survey included questions about: demographics and household characteristics, including questions regarding household assets based on the Demographic and Health Surveys (USAID); agricultural activities undertaken by the household; food and non-food expenditure; food obtained from non-purchased sources; food security; and a dietary assessment of household dietary diversity. The individual survey included a dietary assessment of individual dietary diversity. |
