Note: The methodology used in the Global Open Data Index has changed over time; significantly so between 2015 and 2016. For this reason, the results are not directly comparable over time.

What data is expected?

A geographical map of the country including national traffic routes, stretches of water, and markings of heights. The map must at least be provided at a scale of 1:250,000 (1 cm = 2.5km). Geographic information is instrumental for many use cases, including the mapping of unemployment statistics or demographics, as well as journey planning. See our methodology section for more information.

Details

We have not been able to find any official references for the entity in charge of national cartography for Malawi. There is the Malawi Spatial Data Platform [https://www.masdap.mw/], but this is a platform that offers in a friendly way daily extract from OSM for the country's territory.
