Feed the Future seeks to reduce hunger and poverty in 19 developing countries by focusing on accelerating growth of the agricultural sector, addressing root causes of undernutrition, and reducing gender inequality. This baseline population survey seeks to capture data on women’s empowerment in agriculture, household food security, consumption, nutrition, and well-being of households in seven districts in the Central and Southern regions of Malawi, namely Mchinji, Lilongwe, Dedza, Ntcheu, Balaka, Machinga, and Mangochi. A total of 3,397 households were interviewed, and these households were spread across 126 rural standard enumeration areas in the seven districts.
