Description This urban water survey was commissioned by the Ministry of Agriculture, Irrigation and Water Development MoAIWD to assess the current problemsassociated with water use, supply and sanitation in the Cities of Blantyre and Lilongwe. The purpose of the survey was to generate baseline information and provide recommendations that would facilitate adequate and sustainable water supply in the two cities as well as addressing sanitation issues. In order to adequately achieve the objectives of the baseline survey, a combination of approaches was used. These include (i) collection and review of secondary literature and (ii) conducting a reconnaissance survey and (c) primary data collecting through a household survey, focus group discussions (FGDs) and key informant interviews. The household survey covered a total of 2,266 sample households (1,131 sample households in Blantyre City and 1,135 sample households in Lilongwe City). The dataverse provides the household survey data, meta-data, FGD transcripts and reports from the study
