Data for: "Household sanitation access before and after an extreme weather event: Tropical Cyclone Freddy in rural Malawi"

This study assessed the impact of Tropical Cyclone Freddy on household sanitation facilities in a rural area of southern Malawi as part of two local non-government organisations’ routine programme monitoring and evaluation. Household surveys were conducted in 311 households at programme baseline in April 2022 before CLTS implementation activities started and combined with Community-led Total Sanitation (CLTS) open defecation verification data to estimate pre-Cyclone Freddy household sanitation access. A follow-up survey was repeated in the same households in June 2023, approximately three months after Cyclone Freddy landed in Chiradzulu District. These data were used to estimate changes in household sanitation facilities before and after Cyclone Freddy.

本研究作为两家当地非政府组织常规项目监测评估工作的组成部分，评估了热带气旋弗雷迪（Tropical Cyclone Freddy）对马拉维南部某农村地区家庭卫生设施的影响。本研究于2022年4月，即在社区主导的全面卫生（Community-led Total Sanitation, CLTS）实施活动启动前，针对该项目基线的311户家庭开展了入户调查，并结合社区主导的全面卫生露天排便核查数据，估算热带气旋弗雷迪过境前的家庭卫生设施可及性。2023年6月，即在热带气旋弗雷迪登陆奇拉祖卢区约三个月后，研究团队对上述同一批家庭开展了追踪入户调查。上述数据被用于估算热带气旋弗雷迪过境前后家庭卫生设施的变化情况。
