Other Household Survey [hh/oth]
The survey was implemented as a follow-up study on households that indicated that they consumed electricity during the Uganda National Household Survey 2005/2006 (UNHS 2005/2006).
The overall objective of this survey was to obtain vital information on the performance of the main sectors of the Ugandan economy, their expenditure and use of electricity since 2005-2008 and use of other energy sources. Specifically, the household survey was intended to reveal the impact of electricity shortages and electricity prices at the household level. The survey findings will therefore be used as an input into two studies namely: “the Study to assess the Impact of the Electricity Supply Constraints on the Ugandan Economy” and “the Poverty and Social Impact Analysis (PSIA) of the Power Sector Reforms in Uganda”.

Coverage
Since the study targeted households consuming grid electricity, households in Northern Uganda were not included due to the low coverage of grid electricity in the area.
The survey covered all de jure household members (usual residents).

Sampling
The survey was implemented as a follow-up study on households that indicated that they consumed electricity during the 2005/06 Uganda National Household Survey (UNHS). Since the study targeted households consuming grid electricity, households in Northern Uganda were not included due to the low coverage of grid electricity in the area. Using this criterion a total of 470 households that reported consuming electricity in 2005/06 were randomly selected to form a panel sample. On average there were four(4) panel households per EA. Alongside these, an equivalent 470 non-consumers of electricity so as to constitute a paired sample. These additional households will later be used in the analysis as controls whose data will be used to eliminate the effect of pre-existing differences and to control sample bias. In total 840 households were targeted in 111 Enumeration Areas (EAs).
The Enumeration Areas were selected on basis of location of grid electricity consumers (panel households). The fact that most of the consumers are in urban areas explains why there were more urban EAs selected as compared to rural EAs.
The overall response rate for the panel sample was 65 percent. However the control households had a response rate of about 83 percent. There were no significant differences in response rates between urban and rural areas.
Weights exist in the sec1 dataset but have been applied during the documentation.
Survey instrument
The Survey comprised two modules namely:
(a) Household Questionnaire:- the purpose of this module is to collect relevant information on electricity access, consumption, payment and uses at household level
(b) Enterprise Questionnaire:- to collect relevant information on electricity uses at household enterprise level
The household questionnaire covered:
- Household Information on the Head and Spouse
- Access to and utilization of Grid electricity
- Alternatives to Grid electricity
- Household Appliances
- Household Consumption Expenditure
The enterprise questionnaire covered:
- Household enterprises
- Energy Use by household enterprises
- Coping Mechanisms of Household Enterprises
The content of the questionnaires was based on the recommendations of an M& E consultant who was engaged to guide the designing team on the appropriate questions for a survey intended to feed into a PSIA.

UBOS recruited and trained appropriate field staff to serve as field interviewers and supervisors. There were 21 field staff divided into 7 teams, each with 1 Team leader and 2 Interviewers. The team leader was responsible for the entire team, contacting local officials, selecting households to be interviewed and ensuring high quality of the work in the team.
Recruitment was language-specific:
o Luganda - 3 Teams
o Lusoga - 1 Team
o Lugisu/Lugwere/ Ateso 1 Team
o Runyoro/Rutoro - 1 Team
o Runyankore/Rukiga - 1 Team
Candidates were centrally recruited on the basis of maturity, language skills, education level, and willingness to work away from home. All field staff were trained for a period of 10 days with two days of field practice. Training involved both classroom and practical demonstrations. The trainees were trained on the roles of the fieldworkers, household sampling, how to fill the questionnaires, field supervision and handling of field returns.
Data processing
Data processing began one month after the commencement of fieldwork. Data Entry Operators were recruited and trained to handle field returns and capture the data. Two office editors were recruited to support the data entry team with editing. The Directorate of Information Technology (DIT) at UBOS provided the programs for entering, editing and tabulating the survey data, as well as in training data processing staff.
Data appraisal
While the UNHS 2005/06 covered a large sample of about 7000 households. Only about 10% of these were reported to consume grid electricity. Further, some EAs had very few households that consume electricity making it un-economical to attempt to trace them. Indeed only EAs with atleast 3 consumers were selected for the Energy study. This greatly reduced the effective sample size of panel households to about 470.
