This dataset is the first of two datasets needed to calculate the Women’s Empowerment in Agriculture Index (WEAI). It is part of the 2015 Feed the Future Malawi Interim Survey in the Zone of Influence. The survey was designed to monitor program performance by periodic assessments of a number of standardized indicators. A total of 1,021 households were interviewed, which provided data for the target sample size of 1,007 households and ensured the sample is representative of the seven districts covered in the interim assessment. This dataset contains Module G data from the primary adult (18+) female decision maker within each household (for the sub-sample of households with a primary adult female decision maker). The unique identifiers for this file are pbs_id + idcode.

A total of 1,021 households were interviewed, which provided data for the target sample size of 1,007 households and ensured the sample is representative of the seven districts covered in the interim assessment. It includes all of the 24-hour time allocation data from Module G6, the time use questionnaire, and thus each respondent in Module G has multiple records—one for each of the 18 time use activities (17,064 records ÷ 18 activities = 948 WEAI respondents). The unique identifiers are pbs_id + idcode + activity.
