The DTM drought assessment, supported by government partners and local stakeholders, targeted southern Malawi to identify districts and traditional authorities (admin3) affected by drought-related displacement. Field officers collected information on movements that occurred between September 2023 and the current time of assessment, focusing on the group village headperson level (admin4) using key informant interviews and focus group discussions. The assessment focused on three types of movements: returnees, departures, and IDP arrivals. Data was collected through onsite and online methods, depending on accessibility, using a mobile data collection form to ensure quality and integrity.
