Enterprise Census [en/census]
The Central Statistical Agency (CSA) has been providing statistical information on the country's manufacturing and electricity industries since 1976 (1968 E.C.) annually, to alert policy interventionists on the changes taking place in the sector. As part of this mission, this 25th survey on manufacturing and electricity industries for 1997/98 (1990 E.C) was conducted in 1999.
The presence of adequate and current statistical data in various economic sectors that are considered essential for development planning, socio-economic policy formulation and economic analysis is vital in promoting the economic development of a country. Based on this general objective, the Central Statistical Authority (CSA) has been conducting surveys of various economic activities of which the annual Large and Medium Scale Manufacturing Industries survey is one.
Manufacturing is defined here according to International Standard Industrial Classification as "the physical or chemical transformation of materials or components into new products, whether the work is performed by power-driven machines or by hand, whether it is done in a factory or in the worker's home, and whether the products are sold at wholesale or retail. The assembly of the component parts of manufactured products is also considered as manufacturing activities."
The survey questionnaire is designed to answer questions about number of establishments, number of persons engaged, wages and salaries paid by industrial group, sex, nationality and occupation, paid-up capital, gross value of production, industrial and non-industrial costs. value added, operating surplus, quantity of production and raw materials conusmed, fixed assets, investment and production capacity and etc..
The main objectives of the annual survey of Large and Medium Scale Manufacturing and Electricity Industries are to:
1.Obtain basic statistical data that are essential for policy makers, planners and researchers by major industrial group.
2.Collect basic quantitative information on employment, volume of quantitative information on employment, volume of production and raw materials, structure and performance of the country's Large and Medium Scale Manufacturing and Electricity Industries.
3.Compile statistical data which will be an input to the System of National Accounts (SNA), on Large and Medium Scale Manufacturing and Electricity establishments as a whole and by major industrial group.
4.Obtain the number of proprietors engaged in these sectors and find out the major problems that create stumbling blocks for their activities.The identification of the problems is required for planning and executing any type of government intervention program.

Training of Field Staff:
In the Large and Medium Scale Manufacturing Industries Survey, after updating the directory, questionnaires and instruction manuals and all relevant materials were prepared and printed in advance. Then, the training of all field staff were carried out for six days at the head office. In this training, statisticians from the Central Statistical Authority's branch statistical office and the head office, field supervisors, and enumerators were involved.
The training which was expected to ensure the quality of the data consisted of class room discussions, filling - in questionnaires by trainees for practice using financial statements of selected establishments were made and the errors were pointed out to the trainees, so that these wouldn't be repeated during the actual data collection.
Methods of Data Collection and Field Organization:
All CSA Statistical Branch Offices were involved in this survey. Accordingly, 22 assistant head of Branch Statistical Offices, overall about 92 enumerators and supervisors (44 from Region-14 and 48 from other CSA Branch Offices), and 11 statisticians form the Head Office and about 30 drivers (9 from Region 14 and 21 from the rest of the branches) were involved in the data collection activity.
In Region 14 Branch Statistical Office, where the majority of the establishments under the scope of the survey are located, enumerators were organized into teams and each team on the average constituted of five enumerators and a field editor (a supervisor). The supervisor was provided with a four-wheel drive vehicle and a driver. Prior to the deployment of the teams, at Head Office, the establishments under the scope of the survey were divided among the teams, in accordance with their location. Then, each enumerator was assigned to collect data from 15 establishments on an average. The data collection operation was carried out in collaboration with the concerned personnel of each establishment. Due to the deployment of sufficient logistics and manpower and other organizational measures taken, the data collection activity took 30-45 days in most of the regions of the country.
Some problems were encountered during the data collection stage. The problems were, documents could not be obtained for six public establishments which were on the process of privatization. Hence, the employment data for these estalishments were estimated from previous year information. However, the financial data for these establishments were taken from the authorized financial statements of each establishment, which was obtained from the board of trustee for Privatized Public Enterprise.
Data processing
Editing, Coding and Verification:
A number of quality control steps were taken to ensure the quality of data. The first step taken in this direction was, to revise the questionnaire, to make it easier for internal consistency checking or editing, both at field and office level. Furthermore, based on this revised questionnaire, revised instruction manual with field editing procedures were prepared in Amharic for both enumerators and supervisors (field editors). Using this manual, some editing and coding were carried out by field editors during the data collection stage. After the majority of the completed questionnaires were brought back to head office, final editing, coding and verification were performed by 11 editors and 6 statistical technicians and statisticians. Finally, the edited and coded questionnaires were checked and verified by other senior professionals.
Data Entry, Cleaning and Tabulation:
The data were entered and verified on personal computers IMPS (Integrated Microcomputer Processing System) Software. Twelve-two CSA data entry staff and one data cleaner participated in this activity for seven days with close supervision of the activities by two professionals. Then, the data entered were cleaned using personal computers in combination with manual cleaning for some serious errors. Finally, the tabulation of the results was processed using the IMPS (Integrated Microcomputer Processing System) software by two programmer with technical assistance from Industry, Trade and Services Statistics Department staff.
