Sampling
The survey was intended to cover all establishments employing 15 persons or more. These were selected from the Uganda Business Register of 2006. The study covered only seven types of
industries namely Manufacturing, Construction, Hotels, Financial intermediation, Education (private schools), Health (private health institutions) and Horticulture. Due to resource constraints, only establishments in 16 districts were covered. The selection of districts was based on the total number of employment. The selected districts collectively had a total employment of about 92,000 persons out of the 111,000 persons in all the districts according to the Uganda Business Register and this represented 83 percent of the total number of persons employed. Out of the 1,554 establishments employing 15 and more employees, the selected districts had a total of 1,204 establishments (77 percent).
Out of the 1,204 establishments that were selected, only 664 establishments responded to the questionnaires giving a 55 percent response rate. Four establishments were covered in Masindi and Hoima districts.
