Abstract

The survey questionnaires were designed by the International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI) in collaboration with the Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC) to collect information on the experiences of and constraints to employment and entrepreneurship among men and women of working age (18-54 years old) in Malawi, and more broadly, to improve the integration of gender into growth constraints diagnostics, an analytic approach commonly used by development organizations, such as MCC, to identify ‘binding’ constraints to economic growth within a particular economy and prioritize policy reforms to ease those constraints.
