223 Findings: Impact of the SEARCWL3.1 General findings from the surveyThere have been a total of 202 students on the Programme. Of the 202, keycharacteristics are provided in the table below:Table 3.1 for all students:Nationality and genderTotal Female MalenumberBotswana 1 (0, 5%) 1 0Cameroon 3 (1, 5%) 3 0Ethiopia 1 (0, 5%) 1 0Kenya 27 (13, 4%) 23 4Lesotho 3 (1, 5%) 3 0Malawi 16 (7, 8%) 11 5Mozambique 1 (0, 5%) 1 0Namibia 1 (0, 5%) 1 0Tanzania 28 (13, 9%) 23 5Uganda 16 (7, 9%) 9 7Zambia 27 (13, 4%) 10 17Zimbabwe 78 (38, 6%) 73 5TOTAL 202 (100 %) 159 (79%) 43 (21%)This shows that 39 percent are Zimbabwean, and 79 percent are women. Concerningnationality, this is almost twice the 20 percent performance indicator that theSEARCWL has for regional composition of students. SEARCWL explained thiscomposition in terms of mitigating factors in student recruitment, especially that theoverall figure tended to be pushed up by last minute vacancies on the course andwhich are offered to Zimbabweans for practical reasons. Of the 202 in-take, 195have graduated and 7 therefore have not completed graduation (and of these somemay still complete). These figures show a very low rate of non-completion, probablyreflecting high levels of support from SEARCWL staff.In terms of the response rate of the survey itself- contact details were not availablefor 21 of the 202, most of whom we understand were ‘upgraders’ from the diplomataken in previous years. Therefore the sample for the survey was 181, of which 90people responded: 87 former students and 3 employers. In total, this number gives a
esponse rate, as mentioned, of 48,15 percent. To ask how representative thisresponse rate is, we can compare first the recipient sample (181) to the overall surveyrespondents that can be seen from the below:23Table 3.2 with characteristics of survey sample (total: 181):Nationality, gender and educational backgroundNationality TotalNo.Gender Lawyer NonlawyerF MBotswana 1 1 0 1 0Cameroon 3 3 0 3 0Ethiopia 1 1 0 1 0Kenya 26 22 4 25 1Lesotho 3 3 0 3 0Malawi 16 11 5 7 9Mozambique 1 1 0 1 0Namibia 1 1 0 0 1Tanzania 1 26 21 5 22 1Uganda 2 13 8 5 5 5Zambia 3 25 10 15 6 16Zimbabwe 4 65 61 4 54 7TOTAL 181 143 38 128 40Table 3.3 with information on survey respondents:Nationality, gender, educational background and ageNationality Total Gender Lawyer NonlawyerAgeNo.F M 25-3535-45 45-55Above55Botswana 1 1 0 1 0 0 1 0 0Cameroon 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 1 0Ethiopia 1 1 0 1 0 1 0 0 0Kenya 12 11 1 12 0 3 6 3 0Lesotho 1 1 0 1 0 0 1 0 0Malawi 9 5 4 6 3 5 2 1 1Mozambique 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0Namibia 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0Tanzania 9 6 3 9 0 3 5 0 0Uganda 4 2 2 0 4 3 0 1 0Zambia 13 5 8 4 9 3 7 3 0Zimbabwe 34 31 3 29 5 12 16 5 1TOTAL 87 65 22 65 21 30 40 15 2This shows that the distribution of the respondents across years was good: 24percent of the respondents had completed the degree in 2012, 21 percent in 2010, 231 We lack information about the occupational background for some of the students from Tanzania.2 We lack information about the occupational background for 3 of the students from Uganda.3 We lack information about the occupational background for 3 of the students from Zambia.4 We lack information about the occupational background for 3 of the students from Zimbabwe.
