Other Household Survey [hh/oth]
The Uganda Bureau of Statistics (UBOS), on behalf of the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Development (MEMD), conducted the Uganda Rural- Urban Electrification (URUE) Survey in 2012. The survey covered 111 districts of Uganda and the Kampala Capital City Authority as at 2012.
The main objective of the URUE Survey 2012 was to verify and update the existing data on electrification levels as well as to provide baseline indicators for the different socio-economic sectors in the country to support future planning and reporting.
The findings related to energy sources, reliability of these energy sources, incomes and expenditures and energy efficiency levels at the National and Regional levels for the Household, Business, Education and Health sectors are therefore presented.
The survey covered the following energy sources: Electricity (Solar, Grid, Off-Grid and Generator sets), Diesel, Petrol, Paraffin, Gas, Battery, Charcoal, Firewood, Bagasse, Sawdust. However, only detailed analysis of major energy sources is presented. These are Grid Electricity, Solar and Generator Power. Furthermore, access to power from those sources at the Household, Business, Education and Health. The Spatial Geo-Reference findings and the Predictive Model presentations are presented separately.
A nationally representative sample of Households, Business establishments, Education and Health institutions were selected to allow separate estimates at the National level, Rural and Urban areas.

Sampling
The Uganda Rural-Urban Electrification (URUE) Survey 2012 was conducted using a two-stage sampling design. The first stage involved the sampling of the Enumeration Areas (EAs). The EAs were categorized by district into 17 groupings in line with the statistical sub-strata (strata), based on areas with similar socio-economic characteristics. After the grouping, Primary Sampling Units i.e. EAs were drawn from each stratum using Probability Proportion to Size (PPS). At the second stage, the households, the Ultimate Sampling Units were drawn using Systematic Sampling. A total of 1,000 EAs representing the general household population were selected using the Uganda Population and Housing Census Frame for 2002. Ten households were sampled from each EA. Overall, 10,000 households were covered in the survey.
The sampling frame for selecting establishments was the 2010/11 Census of Business Establishments (COBE). The focus was on all businesses irrespective of the number of employees and it covered the following sectors: Agriculture, Mining and Quarrying, Manufacturing, Construction, Trade, Hotels and Restaurants, Finance and Banking, Insurance, Transport, Posts and Telecommunications, Real Estate and Business Services, Community, Social and Personal Services. The sample was drawn from a population of 447,500 businesses and out of this 94 percent employed less than 5 persons while only 6 percent employed at least 5 persons. The sample size was 1500 and a provision of 30 percent was made for non-response such that the sample was increased by 450 to 1,950. To allocate the sample size of 1,950, the population was stratified by Industry and by the 17 statistical regions and the businesses within each stratum were also determined using PPS.
The sample design for Health institutions followed the same design used for the selection of Business establishments.
The survey used the Ministry of Education and Sports (MOES)list of educational institutions, 2012 as a sampling frame. The sample was further broken down into Pre-Primary schools, Primary schools, Secondary schools, Technical and Vocational institutions, Higher Education institutions and Other institutions. According to the census undertaken by the MOES, there were about 20,000 Primary and Secondary schools in the country. A sample of 637 schools was drawn. Of those, 508 were Primary while 92 were Secondary schools. In addition, a sample of 37 Pre-primary, Vocational and Higher Institutions was drawn from the Census of Business Establishment (COBE) register.
Sample deviation mainly resulted from out migration and also non-coverage of two EAs (located in Kiboga and Kayunga districts).
A total of 10,000 households were sampled out of whom 9314 households were successfully interviewed, accounting for 93.1% response rate. Non-response mainly resulted from out migration and also non-coverage of two EAs (located in Kiboga and Kayunga districts). However, the business establishments had a 67 percent response rate, which was acheived resulting from a total sample of 1950 Business establishments. Education and Health institutions resgistered complete coverage (100 percent) arising from samples of 639 and 130 institutions respectively.
Survey instrument
Four questionnaires were designed for use in the 2012 URUE Survey. These were the Household Questionnaire, the Business questionnaire and the Health and Education Institutions questionnaires.
The Household Survey instruments collected information on General personal and demographic characteristics of household members, Electricity use by household, Solar Energy use in homes, Biomass technology use, Use of thermal generators, Household expenditure on energy, Other energy sources and Preferred energy source.
The Education Questionnaire covered: Institutional background, Electricity use by institution, Grid electricity access, Solar use in schools, Biomass technology use, Use of thermal generators, Expenditure on energy, Other energy sources and Preferred energy source.
The Health Questionnaire collected information on Institutional background, Electricity use by institution, Grid electricity access, Solar use in the facilities, Biomass technology use, Use of thermal generators, Expenditure on energy and Other energy sources.
The Business Establishments Questionnaire collected information on Commercial background, Electricity use by institution, Grid electricity access, Solar use in establishments, Biomass technology use, Use of thermal generators, Expenditure on energy, Other energy sources and Preferred energy source.
