Data Portal
This portal is an ongoing followup activity to the 2022 Data Symposium.
MwAPATA, in collaboration with the National Planning Commission, the Ministry of Finance (Economic Planning and Development), and the National Statistics Office (NSO) and with funding from USAID, hosted an inaugural Malawian Data Symposium on June 16, 2022. The Symposium was an opportunity for researchers and analysts to learn about publicly available data sets from Malawi, and for institutions to describe their data and make it available.
-
The portal is not a data source in itself. Data are held and managed by their host institutions. This site is a gateway to data where you can learn what is available and how to access it.
-
This site will be updated as new information becomes available, so please check in from time to time.
-
If you would like to add your data to the portal, please contact us. Our only requirements for inclusion are that the data are; i) collected from Malawi, and ii) publicly available (by request or direct download).
