Intake24_Malawi project: Malawi National Dietary Intake Survey (MANDIS)


Principal investigator:
Yankho Kaimila

Project period: 01 August 2025   To: 31 July 2030

Project details

The overarching aim of this project is to provide data to inform public health policies that are based on population specific evidence to improve the overall health of Malawians. Ensuring evidence-based, data-driven, and effective public health interventions requires nationally representative dietary intake data from all population groups, including individuals with the poorest diets, who stand to benefit the most from public health policies. This requires development of an easy to use, validated DAT that is appropriate for the Malawian diet. This project will adapt Intake24 to the Malawian diet and develop a national Malawian nutrition survey.
