Firm-level surveys have been conducted since 1998 by different units within the World Bank. Since 2005-06, most data collection efforts have been centralized within the Enterprise Analysis Unit. The Enterprise Surveys are conducted every three to four years across all geographic regions and cover small, medium, and large companies. Data are used to create indicators that benchmark the quality of the business and investment climate across countries. The Afghanistan Enterprise Survey 2008 was a nationwide survey to gather information and opinions about the business environment in the country. The survey covered over 1000 businesses. The objective of the Enterprise Survey was to generate establishment-level quantitative and qualitative information that will help evaluate the performance of business enterprises and identify constraints to doing business. The survey was designed to provide indicators of Afghanistan's investment climate and business performance that can be used to identify reform priorities to track changes over time. The standard Enterprise Survey topics include firm characteristics, gender participation, access to finance, annual sales, costs of inputs/labor, workforce composition, bribery, licensing, infrastructure, trade, crime, competition, capacity utilization, land and permits, taxation, informality, business-government relations, innovation and technology, and performance measures. Over 90% of the questions objectively ascertain characteristics of a country's business environment. The remaining questions assess the survey respondents' opinions on what are the obstacles to firm growth and performance. The mode of data collection is face-to-face interviews. Afghanistan National Regions covered are selected based on the number of establishments, contribution to employment, and value added. In most cases these regions are metropolitan areas and reflect the largest centers of economic activity in a country. The primary sampling unit of the study is the establishment. An establishment is a physical location where business is carried out and where industrial operations take place or services are provided. A firm may be composed of one or more establishments. For example, a brewery may have several bottling plants and several establishments for distribution. For the purposes of this survey an establishment must make its own financial decisions and have its own financial statements separate from those of the firm. An establishment must also have its own management and control over its payroll. The manufacturing and service sectors were the primary business sectors of interest. Firms with 100% government/state ownership were not eligible to participate. Sample survey data [ssd] Altai Consulting Noma Consulting The researchers interviewed 647 formal businesses for this survey. "Formal" referred to a business registered with a central government body, such as Afghanistan Investment Support Agency (AISA) and/or any government ministry - the Department of Commerce, the Department of Economy, the Department of Education, etc. "Informal" referred to a business not registered with a central government body. Establishments only registered with a local administration, a business association or a union, were considered informal. Given the small number of retailers registered centrally, combined with unavailability of a comprehensive list of registered retailers, the decision was made to accept some retailers that were only registered at the municipality level as "formal" for the purposes of this study. The sample was split between five sectors. The World Bank advised on four sectors: manufacturing, retail, construction, and 'other services', comprising of hotels and restaurants; wholesalers; transport, storage and communications; IT services, and repair of motor vehicles. The local partner introduced an additional sector of "professional, scientific and technical," comprised of legal and accounting services, business and consulting services, architecture and engineering, advertising, research and media companies, private education institutes, and private health clinics. Ten cities were covered for this survey, weighted according to the size and level of industrial activity. While there were no fixed quotas for company size, preference was given to larger companies from AISA lists used to source formal companies. In addition, there was an interest from the local Afghan partner to cover micro businesses with less than five employees. Consequently, the sample proposition indicated a minimum of 5% of the sample should cover this size group. The fieldwork team aimed to find formal companies from the following two sources: World Bank Panel list (338 businesses interviewed for 2005 Afghanistan Enterprise Survey); AISA (Afghanistan Investment Support Agency) list (1st, 2nd and 3rd choice companies provided by the World Bank, based on size). Each of these lists contained telephone numbers and addresses for registered companies. Due to difficulties contacting establishments solely through the Panel list and AISA list, it was necessary to find other sources to reach companies. Information from relevant NGOs (such as the Peace Dividend Trust), local AISA offices and Afghanistan Chamber of Commerce and Industries, was used. To reach retailers, either locally obtained Department of Commerce lists or, more commonly, local knowledge of large retailers were used. Face-to-face [f2f] The current survey instrument is available: - Main questionnaire that combines Core, Manufacturing and Services modules. Three versions of the questionnaire were generated in order to provide more tailored tools to the fieldwork team: 1) The Core questionnaire was used for the construction, other services, and professional, scientific and technical sectors; 2) The Manufacturing questionnaire was only used for manufacturers. It contained all the questions on the Core questionnaire, as well as some manufacturing specific questions; 3) The Services questionnaire was only used for retailers. It contained all the questions on the Core questionnaire, as well as some retailer specific questions. The standard Enterprise Survey topics include firm characteristics, gender participation, access to finance, annual sales, costs of inputs/labor, workforce composition, bribery, licensing, infrastructure, trade, crime, security, competition, capacity utilization, land and permits, taxation, informality, business-government relations, innovation and technology, and performance measures. Over 90% of the questions objectively ascertain characteristics of a country’s business environment. The remaining questions assess the survey respondents’ opinions on what are the obstacles to firm growth and performance. Private contractors conduct the Enterprise Surveys on behalf of the World Bank. Due to sensitive survey questions addressing business-government relations and corruption-related topics, private contractors are preferred over any government agency or an organization/institution associated with government, and are hired by the World Bank to collect the data. A screener was used to ensure that potential respondents fit the sample frame. It contained basic questions about location, sector, size and current operations of an establishment. While the screener was typically conducted over the phone, sometimes, due to inaccuracy of phone numbers provided for specific firms, interviewers had to go a physical address to ask the screener questions. The survey was conducted in Dari and Pashto. Security was a significant factor in carrying out fieldwork across Afghanistan, where political unrest and criminal activity present notable risks and obstacles to effective data collection. However, risks were minimized by: 1) Engaging local staff in each of the cities, where possible. With the exception of Bamyan (a relatively peaceful part of the country), interviewers operated in their hometowns; 2) Flying members of the fieldwork team for training in Kabul, rather than going by roads that are known to be partly controlled by insurgents and/or bandits. This was the case for supervisors and interviewers from Kandahar and Herat; 3) Providing sufficient authority to the interviewers, including a Noma Consulting photo ID card, a letter from the Department of Commerce and Industry, and a letter from the World Bank, to allay concerns and potential hostility from prospective interviewees. A number of gifts were offered to respondents to encourage participation, including a simcard, and a leather-bound notebook and a pen. In addition, a small pamphlet in Dari, containing information from the 2005 Afghanistan Enterprise Survey, was distributed to help explain how the information derived from the survey was used. Interviews lasted between one and two hours. In a small number of cases, the interview length exceeded two hours, but this was often due to numerous phone calls or interruptions. The fieldwork team had 24 members: 6 supervisors and 18 interviewers. The interviewers trained for the survey were generally college educated in Afghanistan or a neighboring country and/or had previous experience with conducting interviews in the country. Each interviewer had a set quota of businesses to interview. In order to achieve the quota, the interviewer was required to make the first contact with companies (except in a few cases when the supervisor did so), complete the screener document (in the case of formal companies), and conduct the interview. Supervisors were more experienced interviewers, typically with a professional background, such as doctors or engineers. They coordinated their interviewer team, reviewed survey tools (questionnaires, cards, screeners, etc.), and evaluated each questionnaire to be sure it was complete and consistent. Supervisors also observed some interviews to ensure that the interviewers were asking questions in the right manner and were recording the answers correctly. The supervisors were also required to conduct interviews with larger companies, where their experience and gravitas were an important factor in securing the interview. Finally, supervisors met with officials from local administrations, business unions, trade associations and NGO members to request lists of registered businesses. For some units it was impossible to determine eligibility because the contact was not successfully completed. Consequently, different assumptions as to their eligibility result in different universe cells' adjustments and in different sampling weights. a- Strict assumption: eligible establishments are only those for which it was possible to directly determine eligibility. b- Median assumption: eligible establishments are those for which it was possible to directly determine eligibility and those that rejected the screener questionnaire or an answering machine or fax was the only response. Median weights are used for computing indicators on the www.enterprisesurveys.org website. c- Weak assumption: in addition to the establishments included in points a and b, all establishments for which it was not possible to finalize a contact are assumed eligible. This includes establishments with dead or out of service phone lines, establishments that never answered the phone, and establishments with incorrect addresses for which it was impossible to find a new address. Note that under the weak assumption only observed non-eligible units are excluded from universe projections. Data entry and quality controls are implemented by the contractor and data is delivered to the World Bank in batches (typically 10%, 50% and 100%). These data deliveries are checked for logical consistency, out of range values, skip patterns, and duplicate entries. Problems are flagged by the World Bank and corrected by the implementing contractor through data checks, callbacks, and revisiting establishments. Complete information regarding the sampling methodology, sample frame, response rates, and implementation can be found in the document "Description of Afghanistan Implementation" in "Technical Documents" folder. Confidentiality of the survey respondents and the sensitive information they provide is necessary to ensure the greatest degree of survey participation, integrity and confidence in the quality of the data. Surveys are usually carried out in cooperation with business organizations and government agencies promoting job creation and economic growth, but confidentiality is never compromised.

INTERVIEWER: “First, let’s start with a few questions about your establishment” In what year did this establishment begin operations? IF ANSWER IS 1387, TERMINATE INTERVIEW The objective of this question is to obtain the year in which operations started regardless of who was the owner at the time. The year when the establishment began operation refers to the year in which the establishment actually started producing (or providing services), not to the year in which it was registered for the first time. If the establishment was privatized, then the date provided should refer to when the original government-owned establishment began operations. If the establishment changed its production significantly to change sector classification, then the year when that took place should be provided. 647 -9 don't know 1941 1946 1951 1954 1964 1968 1971 1973 1976 1978 1980 1981 1983 1985 1986 1988 1989 1990 1991 1992 1993 1994 1995 1996 1997 1998 1999 2000 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 number of full-time employees of the establishment when it started operations number of full-time employees of the establishment when it started operations number of full-time employees of the establishment when it started operations number of full-time employees of the establishment when it started operations number of full-time employees of the establishment when it started operations How many full-time employees did this establishment employ when it started operations?

SHOW CARD What is this firm‘s current legal status? A firm's legal status is information well known for the target respondent: CEO, General Manager or owner of the firm. ENUMERATORS DO NOT NEED TO KNOW THE DEFINITION OF EACH TYPE OF LEGAL STATUS. A firm's legal status is first determined by whether participation on ownership is by shares (first 2 options) or not (options 3 and 4). The fifth option is a combination of the previous ones. If a firm's shares are publicly traded, it is a shareholding company with shares traded in the stock market. If the shares are not traded or they are traded only privately it is a shareholding company with shares traded privately. A shareholding company with shares traded privately is a firm that is owned by partners or shareholders for whom their claims over the firm are not publicly traded. They may or may not be traded privately. In both of these categories firms have limited liability. A sole proprietorship is a business owned and operated by one individual natural person. A natural person is a real human being, as opposed to an artificial legal entity such as a corporation or organization that the law treats for some purposes as if it were a person distinct from its members or owner(s). A firm's legal status defines the extent of the liability which defines the level of responsibility of the owner over the firm's obligations. Under limited liability each owner is only responsible for the proportion of his/her shares. A partnership allows two or more people to share profits and liabilities, with or without privately held shares. In a partnership, the parties could be individuals, corporations, trusts, other partnerships, or a combination of all of the above. The essential characteristic of this partnership is the unlimited liability of every partner. Limited partnership is a legal form that includes one or several general partners and one or more limited partners who invest capital into the partnership, but do not take part in the daily operation or management of the business. The limited partners limit their amount of liability to the amount of capital invested in the partnership. The general partners personally shoulder all debts and obligations of the partnership. Business operations are governed, unless otherwise specified in a written agreement, by majority vote of voting partners. Limited liability partnerships are separate legal entities that provide liability protection for all general partners as well as management rights in the business. Cooperatives and state owned firms should be designated as Other. When other is chosen, the actual form of legal status must be specified in writing by the enumerator on the survey instrument. 647 -9 don't know 2 shareholding company 3 sole proprietorship 4 partnership 5 limited partnership 6 other what percentage of this firm does the largest owner(s) own? what percentage of this firm does the largest owner(s) own? what percentage of this firm does the largest owner(s) own? what percentage of this firm does the largest owner(s) own? what percentage of this firm does the largest owner(s) own?

If power outages are seasonal the interviewer should ask the respondent to calculate the number of outages in a typical month, excluding both the months in which outages are most frequent and the months where outages are most infrequent. The concept of a typical month must be well understood since it is used several times throughout the questionnaire: it is the most common type of month in the year regarding the characteristic being asked. Thus, for answers such as “electrical outages once every 3 months” in a typical month there are 0 outages (since there will be outages only in 4 months of the year and in the rest 8 months there will be no outages). For the answer “once every other month” write 1 since there will be 6 months with outages and 6 months without them. 383 264 -9 don't know 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 15 18 20 21 22 24 25 26 28 29 30 36 40 50 51 60 72 100 120 360 365 Sysmiss how long did the average power outage last? how long did the average power outage last? how long did the average power outage last? how long did the average power outage last? how long did the average power outage last?

Local - main product sold mostly in same municipality where establishment is located National - main product sold mostly across the country where establishment is located International - main product sold mostly to nations outside country where establishment is located The purpose of this question is to get the establishment to define what it considers to be its main market. The main product is defined by the output that generates the highest proportion of sales. The establishment's main market is defined by the market that generates the most sales for the main product as defined above. It could be the case that an establishment's main product is sold in smaller proportions in a greater number of markets and that the main product is never the greatest total annual share of revenue in any one market. For example, 51 percent of revenue comes from selling nails, but that is distributed equally in the local, national, and international markets, 33 percent in each. Bolts make up 49 percent of total annual revenues. However, half of the revenue for bolts comes from selling in the international market and half in the local market. It is clear that bolts sell more in its respective market with respect to nails, but does not generate as much revenue as nails do for the establishment. In such a case, nails should be used as the main product. Whenever local, national and international markets have equal shares choose the national market and do not follow the skip pattern. 125 522 -9 don’t know 1 local – main product sold mostly 2 national – main product sold mos 3 international – (main product so Sysmiss how many competitors did this establishment’s main product/product line face? how many competitors did this establishment’s main product/product line face? how many competitors did this establishment’s main product/product line face? how many competitors did this establishment’s main product/product line face? how many competitors did this establishment’s main product/product line face?

In fiscal year 1386, what was this establishment's output produced as a proportion of the maximum output possible if using all facilities available (capacity utilization)? A capacity utilization estimate should be compared to a full production capacity capability. This question only references the production facility and not the administrative offices. Full production capacity is the maximum level of production that this establishment could reasonably expect to attain during regular working hours, and under normal and realistic operating conditions fully utilizing the machinery, equipment and employees in place. 125 522 -9 don't know 15 20 25 30 31 35 36 40 50 60 65 70 75 80 85 90 100 Sysmiss number of hours per week operated by the establishment in last fiscal year number of hours per week operated by the establishment in last fiscal year number of hours per week operated by the establishment in last fiscal year number of hours per week operated by the establishment in last fiscal year number of hours per week operated by the establishment in last fiscal year In fiscal year 1386, how many hours per week did this establishment normally operate?

Days of inventory of main sales item The purpose of this question is to assess the efficiency in the supply chain. When firms have to maintain a high level of sales items in stock, because they cannot rely on a predictable supply, this is a source of economic inefficiency. Inversely, if supplies of the main sales can be relied upon to be easily available, firms will keep low levels of stock on hand. The main sales item is the item that accounts for the highest percentage of sales among all items that the establishment sells. It is not the item for which stock is maintained the longest. Days of inventory should be calculated as how many days it would take, under normal sales conditions, to deplete the main sales item held in supply at the establishment's premises. 105 542 -9 don't know 3 5 7 8 10 13 15 20 25 30 38 40 45 60 90 120 150 160 180 200 250 360 365 Sysmiss when you receive your most key input, how many days of stock is available? when you receive your most key input, how many days of stock is available? when you receive your most key input, how many days of stock is available? when you receive your most key input, how many days of stock is available? when you receive your most key input, how many days of stock is available? At the present time, when this establishment receives delivery of its most important input, on average, how many days of inventory, measured in days of production, does this establishment keep? Days of inventory of main input. The purpose of this question is to assess the efficiency in the supply chain. When firms have to maintain a high level of stock, because they cannot rely on a predictable supply of inputs, this is a source of economic inefficiency. Inversely, if supplies of the main input can be relied upon to be easily available, firms will keep low levels of stock on hand. The main input is the input that accounts for the highest value among all inputs. It is not the input for which stock is maintained the longest. For example, if a company makes shirts, the most important input is the cloth, not the buttons and thread, though the establishment may actually keep a 90 day supply of buttons on hand and only a 30 day stock of cloth. Days of inventory should be calculated as the number of days of normal production capacity before running out of stock. 126 521 -9 don't know 1 2 3 4 5 7 9 10 12 14 15 20 21 25 30 45 60 80 90 120 180 200 360 365 380 1825 3650 Sysmiss what % of establishment's sales were: national sales? what % of establishment's sales were: national sales? what % of establishment's sales were: national sales? what % of establishment's sales were: national sales? what % of establishment's sales were: national sales?

Clearing customs for direct exports. The purpose of this question is to determine the efficiency of customs in clearing goods for export. Main point of exit is the last domestic location (e.g. port, border crossing, airport, or internal custom) from which the goods leave the country. Whenever different ports of exit are used this question refers to the port where “most goods” exit defined in terms of consignment value (not physical units).
