2019 Njira Annual Survey, Malawi

Project Concern International (PCI)'s Pathways to Sustainable Food Security, Njira, was a five-year Food for Peace project funded by USAID from 2015 - 2019. Together with Emmanuel International (EI), the project aimed to reduce chronic malnutrition and food insecurity, and well as build resilience among vulnerable populations in Balaka and Machinga Districts through layered nutrition, health, WASH, agriculture, livelihoods, environmental, and risk reduction interventions.

Each year of implementation, Njira conducted an annual beneficiary-based survey to assess whether the project was on track for achieving the intended outcomes for direct beneficiaries. Survey results were utilized to inform program performance, adjust interventions where appropriate, and meet donor reporting requirements. The survey had 3 components with differing sample frames: agriculture, health, and a general, the latter of which included any Njira participant in its sample frame and focused on a variety of topics. More details are included in the protocol.

From 2017 - 2019, the annual survey questionnaires and protocol were nearly identical so direct comparisons across annual periods can be warranted, with the exception that data collection for 2017 and 2018 surveys occurred in September/October, and data collection for the 2019 survey occurred in June.

Data was collected for the 2019 annual survey between June 1 - 21, 2019.
