Income/Expenditure/Household Survey [hh/ies]
The Statistics Department of the Ministry of Finance and Economic Planning started its program of continuing annual household surveys with the Integrated Household Survey in 1992-93 followed by two Monitoring Surveys in 1993-94 and 1994-95. In continuation of this series, during 1995-96, the department has decided to conduct the Crop farming survey as the core subject along with the continuing socio-economic survey. At the request of the National Council of Children, Uganda some additional sections on housing and child-health and mother-care have been included in the socio-economic survey questionnaire.
While planning the integrated survey which was conducted in 1992-93, it had been envisaged that periodic, refreshable, annual, monitoring surveys would be conducted to watch and monitor the effects of the adjustment program as well as to provide time-series data to measure economic growth and social development. Accordingly, two monitoring surveys have been completed in 1993-94 and 1994-95 and the third one is 1995-96 National Household Survey.
The Uganda National Household Survey (UNHS) 1995-96 like the earlier household surveys covered the entire country. Subject-wise the survey collected data on area and outputs of major crops grown by households along with socio-economic aspects including child-health and mother care. UNHS also included a community survey collecting information on markets and prices and other infrastructure and facilities available for the residents at RC1 level.
The objectives of the survey was as follows:
a) To plan, design and conduct a national household crop farming survey and to prepare reports thereon providing estimates of area and output of major crops on a continuing annual basis;
b) To integrate monitoring socio-economic household and community surveys in the total programme to provide integrated dataset to understand the mechanisms and effects of structural adjustments and other policy measures on a continuing basis.
c) To meet the data-needs of users in the National Council of Children, UNICEF, Ministry of Health and others to monitor the progress of project activities aimed towards improvement of child-health and mother-care;
d) To fill-in gaps in socio-economic data to serve needs of planning for social and economic indicators to serve needs of planning for social and economic development of the country; and
e) To consolidate efforts made in building permanent national household survey capability in the Statistical Department of the Ministry of Finance and Economic Planning.
