Republic of Malawi 2008 POPULATION and HOUSING Republic of Malawi 2008 POPULATION AND HOUSING CENSUS ENUMERATOR’S MANUAL National Statistical Office, P.O. Box 333, Zomba, MALAWI. PREFACE The Population and Housing Census enumeration will run for three weeks from 1st to 21st June 2008. During this period every person and dwelling unit will be enumerated. You have been selected as one of the enumerators to assist in the undertaking of this enormous task. As an enumerator, you hold the most important position in the census operation since it is only you, the enumerator, who is going to interview household members and complete the questionnaires. In order to do your job properly, it is essential that you work diligently during your training and study this manual carefully. The first part of the manual briefly outlines the purpose of the Census and gives major definitions and concepts used in the Census so that you understand the background to your work. The second part explains the meaning of each question and tells you in detail how to complete each and every question on the Census questionnaire. Note: You must read the manual everyday and always carry this manual with you when you are in the field and refer to it whenever you are in doubt. You are undertaking the Census under the 1967 Statistics Act that requires you to keep the information that you collect strictly confidential. The job you have to do will not be easy; it will involve long and odd hours, including weekends and many miles of walking: However, your main reward will be a feeling of pride in having done a difficult job well and helped to provide the Population and Housing data which will be a basis for socio-economic planning in Malawi for the next ten years.

  • Lake Malawi Destination Guide
    Lake Malawi Destination Guide Overview of Lake Malawi Occupying a fifth of the country, Lake Malawi is the third largest lake in Africa and home to more fish species than any other lake in the world. Also known as Lake Nyasa, it is often referred to as 'the calendar lake' because it is 365 miles (590km) long and 52 miles (85km) wide. Situated between Malawi, Mozambique and Tanzania, this African Great Lake is about 40,000 years old, a product of the Great Rift Valley fault line. There are fishing villages to be found along the lakeshore where residents catch a range of local fish including chambo, kampango (catfish), lake salmon and tiger fish. The export of fish from the lake contributes significantly to the country's economy, and the delicious chambo, similar to bream, is served in most Malawian eateries. Visitors to Lake Malawi can see colourful mbuna fish in the water, while there are also occasional sightings of crocodiles, hippos, monkeys and African fish eagles along the shore. The nearby Eastern Miombo woodlands are home to African wild dogs. Swimming, snorkelling and diving are popular activities in the tropical waters of the lake, and many visitors also enjoy waterskiing, sailing and fishing. There are many options available for holiday accommodation at the lake, including resorts, guesthouses and caravan or camping parks. All budgets are catered for, with luxury lodges attracting the glamorous and humble campsites hosting families and backpackers. Cape Maclear is a well-developed lakeside town, and nearby Monkey Bay is a great holiday resort area. Club Makokola, near Mangochi, is also a popular resort.

  • “Killing Two Birds with One Stone”? a Case Study of Development Use of Drones
    Zurich Open Repository and Archive University of Zurich Main Library Strickhofstrasse 39 CH-8057 Zurich www.zora.uzh.ch Year: 2021 “Killing Two Birds with One Stone”? A Case Study of Development Use of Drones Wang, Ning Abstract: With the rise of the “humanitarian drone” in recent years, drones have become one of the most controversial public interest technologies that have gained increasing media attention. It is worth noting that, although there is a perception in the aid sector that drones hold the promise to reinvent the health supply logistics, to date, routine drone delivery is still relatively new and largely unproven. This paper presents a recent field study conducted in 2019, where drones were deployed in Malawi tohelp address the last mile challenge in medical supply delivery, and where a noticeable mentality of “killing two birds with one stone” around the attempt of using drones in resource-poor settings is observed. The objective of the paper is to shed light, through a real-world case study and from the ethical perspective, on the impacts of implementing such a systemic change in the existing health supply chain systems. As conclusion, a call for more reflexive approaches for the critical examination, as well as more structured guidance for the responsible evaluation, of medical cargo drones is raised.

  • Malawi Sustainable Energy Investment Study September 2019 DRAFT for VALIDATION WORKSHOP
    Malawi Sustainable Energy Investment Study September 2019 DRAFT FOR VALIDATION WORKSHOP GOVERNMENT OF MALAWI Ministry of Natural Resources, Energy and Mining 1 Foreword Malawi has committed to achieving “Sustainable Energy for All”, as enshrined in Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) number 7. Energy is a means to an end; it provides a platform for social and economic development, and a pathway for achieving many of the other SDGs. The third Malawian Growth and Development Strategy (MGDS III) recognises this central role of energy, citing it as “the lifeblood of the economy”, and laying out a goal to “provide sufficient sustainable energy for industrial and socio-economic development”. Improved access to reliable [Photo to be added, and sustainable energy supply is one of the core outcomes the MGDS III seeks to achieve. pending validation] In response to these commitments, the Ministry of Natural Resources, Energy and Mining (MoNREM), acting through the Department of Energy Affairs (DoEA) and Malawi Energy Regulatory Authority (MERA), has worked to put in place policies, regulations and a framework that will allow increased investment and rapid growth in the power sector. The National Energy Policy (2018) and the Malawi Renewable Energy Strategy (2017) build on the targets laid out in the Sustainable Energy for All Action Agenda (2017) and provide high-level policy direction, complemented by detailed technical analysis made available in the most recent Integrated Resource Plan (2017). To translate these goals into reality, the Ministry will rely on clear plans to move key investments forward, based on transparent funding arrangements that aim to provide reliable and sustainable energy for Malawians at the lowest possible cost.
