Sampling
The MDICP is conducted in three distinctive districts of Malawi, one in each of the three regions of the country: Rumphi District, located in the Northern region; Mchinji District, located in the Central region; and Balaka District, located in the Southern region.
The sampling strategy was not designed to be representative of the national population of rural Malawi, although the sample characteristics closely match the characteristics of the rural population of the Malawi Demographic and Health Survey. The target sample for the first MDICP wave was 500 ever married women age 15-49 in each district, plus their husbands. The third survey wave added a sample of approximately 400 adolescents age 15-29 in each district.
The sampling strategies adopted for the different waves and samples of the MDICP are described in the documents below.
