Living Standards Measurement Study [hh/lsms]
The 2011/12 Uganda National Panel Survey (UNPS) is the third in the series of panel surveys that the Uganda Bureau of Statistics (UBOS) has conducted since 2009/10. The UNPS was carried out annually, over a twelve-month period on a nationally representative sample of households, for the purpose of accommodating the seasonality associated with the composition of and expenditures on consumption. The survey was conducted in two visits in order to better capture agricultural outcomes associated with the two cropping seasons of the country.
The UNPS is important for monitoring changes in outcomes as well as the impact of Government policies on indicators of national and international development frameworks to inform policy makers about growth (in income, poverty or service delivery etc.). The UNPS provides data on an annual basis that enables tracking of outcome indicators in the Joint Assessment Framework (JAF), National Development Plan (NDP) and Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) among others. It also validates the dynamism of routine data systems and provides frequent feedback on the performance of key Government programmes like the Health Management Information System (HMIS) and the National Agricultural Advisory Services (NAADS) among others.
The overall objective of the UNPS Program is to collect high quality data on key outcome indicators such as poverty, service delivery, governance and employment among others; to monitor Government's development programmes like the NDP and the JAF among others on an annual basis.
The specific objectives of the survey are:
- To provide information required for monitoring the NDP and other development objectives like the JAF, MDGs as well as specific programs such as the National Agricultural Advisory Services (NAADS) among others.
- To provide high quality nationally representative information on income dynamics at the household level as well as annual consumption expenditure estimates to monitor poverty in years between the Uganda National Household Surveys (UNHS)
- To supply regular data on agriculture in order to characterize and monitor the performance of the agricultural sector.

Sampling
The 2011/12 UNPS survey maintained the 2010/11 UNPS sample design whereby all households that were sampled for Wave II (2010/11) were tracked and re-interviewed in Wave III (2011/12). Out of the 7,400 households interviewed during the UNHS 2005/06, 3,123 households were selected for the panel surveys. As a result, the same sample was maintained in 2009/10, 2010/11 and 2011/12 round of surveys. During data collection, households or individuals that had permanently left the original households to known locations were tracked and interviewed. The new households formed are known as split-off households whereas the individuals are termed as movers.
Survey instrument
The 2011/12 UNPS questionnaires comprised of the following survey instruments:
- Household Questionnaire: Core and rotating modules
- Agriculture Questionnaire (for the subset of UNPS households engaged in agricultural activities)
- Price Questionnaire
- Community / Facility Questionnaires for schools, health facilities and other facilities (potentially conducted on a rotating basis and not in every year of the UNPS)

A Centralized approach to data collection was employed whereby nine mobile field teams recruited from the headquarters were dispatched to different sampled areas. Each team comprised of one Supervisor, three Enumerators and one Driver. The teams were recruited based on the languages mostly used in each of the four statistical regions. The field teams visited UNPS households twice in a year in order to capture seasonality for the households engaged in agricultural activities as well as households' consumption expenditure patterns.
Data processing
The 2011/12 round of UNPS used a computerized system of data collection whereby field staff directly captured information using Ultra Mobile Personal Computers (UMPCs) during data collection. The UMPCs were loaded with a data entry application with in-built range and consistency checks to ensure good quality data. Field Team Leaders run checks on the data while still in the field thereafter electronically transmitting it to UBOS Headquarters for verification. Every team was facilitated with an internet modem, a generator and extra UMPC batteries to ensure uninterrupted power supply and internet connectivity while in the field.
