Malawi
National

Sample survey data
National Statistical Office (NSO)
Face-to-face
Complete, field-edited questionnaires were brought to the NSO headquarters in Zomba after collection during supervisory visits by NSO senior staff. Data entry began one week after data collection started and was completed in December 2000. Office editing, coding of open-ended questions, and editing based on computer identified inconsistencies in the data continued into January 2001. The questionnaires were entered, verified, and edited using a new version of ISSA (Integrated System for Survey Analysis) adapted by ORC Macro and the U.S. Bureau of Census for integrated use in censuses and surveys.
