HOUSEHOLD SURVEY PROGRAMME IN UGANDA:
PAST EXPERIENCES AND FUTURE PLANS
By

Uganda Bureau of StatisticsOCTOBER , 2009
OUTLINE Background
Household surveys conducted since 1988
Sample Design and Survey organisation
The future plan- The long term household survey programme
Background Increased demand for data at both local and international
level (for PEAP, MDGs, PMA monitoring, NDP,etc) Less attention was put on micro level data in the past and
emphasis was mainly on financial and economic statistics collected mainly through administrative sources.
The Demand for data has however evolved over time and now demands for information that is necessary to determine the effects of government policies on peoples welfare
Background Cont’d
It is important to provide household level data to further strengthen the systems of data production to sustain the flow of information
Household surveys also become more relevant when information generated addresses the requirements of national development frameworks
Household Surveys Conducted by UBOS
The household survey programme dates back to 1988 -the rich database with annual information (with breaks in 1991 and 1998).
The surveys have had varying objectives and scope in order to mainly address the data gaps
Both consumption expenditure surveys and Demographic surveys have contributed to the body of knowledge in Uganda

Series1
Household Surveys Conducted by UBOS Cont’d
Clearly, UBOS has evolved into an organisation capable of conducting nation-wide household surveysIt has also succeeded in conducting them on a regular basis – rarely found in other countriesThese household surveys can be categorised into two : Consumption surveys and Demographic and Health surveys
Consumption / Expenditure surveys conducted since 1988
Survey Round Dates Households covered
1. Household budget survey (HBS- for CPI weights) Apr. 1989 – Mar. 1990 4,595
2. Integrated household survey (IHS- Baseline multi-subject) Mar 1992 – Mar. 1993 9,925
3. Monitoring survey 1 (MS I-) Aug. 1993 – Feb 1994 4,925

Sample design
Two Stage sample design for all the surveys with the exception in a few cases
First stage Unit (FSUs) -Enumeration Areas selected with PPS
Households are selected using SRS/systematic as Ultimate sampling units (second stage)
Sampling Frame The Population and Housing censuses of 1991 and 2002
provided the frame for household surveys In some of the surveys, each district was treated as a
stratum. In others, the stratification is based on the stratification variable of interest (rural-urban, region etc)
Depending on the objective of the survey, further sub stratification is sometimes introduced at listing stage to ensure adequate representation (agriculture, informal sector and employment)
Survey Organisation
Involves planning (stakeholder consultations), questionnaire development, Pretest/pilot the survey instruments, training (both field and data entry staff), quality checks both in the field and during data entry, data analysis and dissemination
Survey organisation Cont’d
Data collection uses a mobile team approach to manage fieldwork
The team composition consists of a supervisor, 3-4 interviewers and a driver
Fieldwork spread over a 12 months period to account for seasonality
Data processing
All data is processed centrally at UBOS The IT Directorate is responsible for processing,
and management of the data Data usually captured by a team of Data Entry
Operators (DEO) for a period of up to one year The DEO are recruited on temporary terms
Dissemination Channels
Information disseminated through workshops, UBOS Website, Press releases/briefs, on CD ROMs
The UBOS resource centre
The proposed 10 year survey programme
Will ensure continued production of information. The periodicity of the survey programme based on
pace of the decision making process (PEAP revision, NDP, etc)
The dynamism of the indicators also dictates the frequency of household surveys
The ten year plan Cont’d
The long term census and survey programme details out all planned field undertakings
The demand for data dis- aggregated to lower levels continues to pose a real challenges to the data production process and alternative sources of data provide some solutions (Community Information System,).
Ten year plan Cont’d
Censuses are also included in the plan to because of their importance (directly or indirectly- )
Panel surveys have been initiated to provide annual outcome indicators
Current and future plan
Data entry moved to the field Computerised data collection to be adopted soon Paper questionnaires to be limited to a few
surveys
Conclusion
Continued production of household level information is vital for monitoring development programmes.
Best practices in data management should also be used to ensure safety of data
