DDI_TZA_2023_ISES_v01_M_WB Development Data Group 2025-01-28 Metadata Editor Version 01 (January 2025) TZA_2023_ISES_v01_M Informal Sector Enterprise Survey 2023 ISES 2023 World Bank Group (WBG) World Bank Group Metadata Editor Enterprise Analysis Unit Enterprise Survey [en/oth] The Informal Sector Enterprise Surveys are products of the Enterprise Analysis Unit that measures the characteristics and activities of unregistered businesses. These informal businesses are everywhere in the world, though they are almost always missing from official records, listings of active businesses, or business-level surveys. The Informal Sector Enterprise Surveys are rigorous surveys that use an adaptive, geographically based sampling method to fill this data gap. Tanzania Dar es Salaam - Informal business The Informal Sector Enterprise Surveys cover all informal businesses within a well-defined geographic area, typically a city. All eligible businesses are considered as forming the universe of inference for the survey. Informality is defined as all businesses that are not legally registered with the government and, therefore, are excluded from taxation. The exact details of these criteria vary by country. For the 2023 Informal Sector Enterprise Surveys in Dar es Salaam, a business is considered informal if it is registered with the Business Registration and Licensing Agency (BRELA). Thus, the universe of the survey includes all businesses that meet the above definition of informality, including all sectors of activity of any size. The universe excludes, however, any illicit or illegal activity. Sample survey data [ssd] Computer Assisted Personal Interview [capi] This survey was fully implemented using the World Banks’ Survey Solutions CAPI software. The selection for interviews was conducted in the field and in real time, via a random algorithm programmed in the CAPI so that enumerators do not have control over who gets selected. A detailed monitoring protocol was put in place during the data collection to ensure the integrity of the fieldwork and methodology. In addition to supervision through assigned supervisors, every enumerator records his/her path using a tracking software (Oruxmaps) installed on all CAPI tablets. Enumerators submit captured paths to a centralized server at the end of the enumeration of every block. This tracking path is checked to ensure that enumerators have fully covered the block assigned to them. This quality check was done at high frequency. In cases where the tracking path indicated a lower than acceptable level of effort in listing informal business, the enumerator was asked to re-survey the block. The user of the data acknowledges that the original collector of the data, the authorized distributor of the data, and the relevant funding agency bear no responsibility for use of the data or for interpretations or inferences based upon such uses.
