The 2019 National Household Survey on Access and Usage of ICT Services in Malawi

The National Statistical Office (NSO) has been working with the Malawi Communication Regulatory Authority (MACRA) in conducting ICT Surveys since 2014. This report presents results of the 2019 Access and Usage of ICT Services Survey in Malawi that was conducted from September to December 2019. The objective of the second survey was to establish the extent of access to and use of ICT services by households and individuals in order to take stock of trends in ICT development over the years and continue providing reliable statistics to assist in policy formulation and strategic planning in the formulation of national development initiatives driven by the ICT sector.

The collaboration between NSO and MACRA in data generation has been very productive as it has provided a great opportunity for capacity building in both institutions in data collection, processing and analysis. It has also enabled NSO to live up to its motto of providing "Statistics at the fingertips of the users" and its mission of providing high quality and timely statistical information through carrying out of censuses and surveys, setting statistical standards and promoting the dissemination and use of statistics for policy formulation, decision making and monitoring and evaluation of development programmes in order to spur socio-economic growth and development.
