Government users
Using Malawi data for government analysis
A policy workflow for reviewing provenance, institutional ownership, and update recency before using data in briefs or planning notes.
What to optimize for
Find current sources with clear ownership.
Check whether a dataset is reviewed, published, and geographically complete enough for the intended use.
Use institution and collection pages to identify gaps worth formal partnership work.
Suggested workflow
1. Begin with institution or collection pages rather than a blank search.
2. Check lineage, quality, and coverage before carrying figures into planning outputs.
3. Use the contribution workflow if your institution wants to improve metadata or publish additional sources.
