Series Information
The Uganda National Household Survey 2012/2013 is the fifth in a series of consumption surveys conducted by Uganda Bureau of Statistics.The Uganda National Household Survey is nationally representative and it was designed to provide estimates for the whole country, urban and rural areas, and for ten (10) sub-regions.
Abstract
The Uganda National Household Survey 2012/13 is the latest in a series of household surveys that Uganda Bureau of Statistics has undertaken. The survey collected information on socio-economic characteristics at both household and community levels. The main objective of the survey was to collect high quality data on demographic and socioeconomic characteristics of households for monitoring development performance of key indicators in the various sectors.
The UNHS 2012/13 comprised of four modules namely: the SocioEconomic, Labour Force, Community, and Market price modules. The survey collected much more information besides what has been included in the final report; which is useful for informing policy formulation and overall development planning.
The UBOS calls upon all stakeholders to utilise the wealth of available data collected over the years to undertake in-depth analysis so as to better inform future policy debate.

Scope
Notes
The scope of the Uganda National Household Survey 2012/2013 includes:
1. The Socio-economic module covered household characteristics which include: housing conditions, household assets, incomes, loans, household expenditure, welfare indicators, cultural participation of household members and non-crop farming enterprises. The module also covered individual characteristics of household members namely education, literacy, health status and health seeking behavior of household members.
2. The Labour force module focused on data that is used to estimate the total labour force as well as derive other labour related indicators. The questionnaire focused on the activity status of persons aged five years and above, unemployment and those not in the labour force; employment; hours of work, earnings and care labour activities.
3. The Community Survey module focused on information about the general characteristics of the community (LC I); access to community facilities; community services and other amenities; economic infrastructure; agriculture and markets; education and health
infrastructure.
4. The Market price module was undertaken to provide standard equivalents of non-standard units through weighing items sold in markets. This entailed visiting some markets in the sampled Enumeration Areas (EAs) and weighing the various items being sold. In
cases where there was no market/ trading centre, the market frequented most by the residents of the sampled EA would be visited and measurements taken. Different local prices and their non-standard units which in many cases are used in selling various items were collected in this module. Since the price and units of measurement for different items vary across regions and in some cases across districts, they were measured and an equivalent in standard units recorded.

Sampling
Sampling Procedure
The 2012/13 UNHS sample was designed to allow for reliable estimation of key indicators at the national, rural-urban, regions levels and separately for 10 sub-regions. A two-stage stratified sampling design was used. At the first stage, Enumeration Areas (EAs) were grouped by districts and rural-urban location, then drawn using Probability Proportional to Size (PPS). At the second stage, households which are the Ultimate Sampling Units were drawn using Systematic Random Sampling.
A total of 750 EAs were selected using the 2012 Uganda Population and Housing Census Mapping Frame. These EAs were distributed to the 10 sub-regions in equal proportions with consideration of the rural-urban domains. The 10 sub-regions stratified on the basis of common sociodemographic characteristics were as follows:
1. Kampala (comprising of the entire Kampala City Council Authority (KCCA));
2. Central I (Kalangala, Masaka, Mpigi, Rakai, Sembabule, Wakiso, Lyantonde, Bukomansimbi, Butambala, Gomba, Kalungu and Lwengo);
3. Central II (Kiboga, Luwero, Mubende, Mukono, Nakasongola, Kayunga, Mityana, Nakaseke, Buikwe, Buvuma and Kyankwanzi);
4. East Central (Bugiri, Iganga, Jinja, Kamuli, Mayuge, Kaliro, Namutumba, Buyende and Luuka);
5. Eastern (Busia, Kapchorwa, Katakwi, Kumi, Mbale, Pallisa, Soroti, Tororo, Kaberamaido, Sironko, Amuria, Budaka, Buduuda, Bukedea, Bukwo, Butaleja, Manafwa, Bulambuli, Kibuku, Kween, Namayingo, Ngora and Serere);
6. Mid-Northern (Apac, Gulu, Kitgum, Lira, Pader, Amolatar, Amuru, Dokolo, Oyam, Agago, Alebtong, Kole, Lamwo, Nwoya and Otuke);
7. North-East (comprising the districts of Kotido, Moroto, Nakapiripirit, Abim, Kaabong, Amudat and Napak);
8. West-Nile (comprising the districts of Adjumani, Arua, Moyo, Nebbi, Yumbe, Koboko, Maracha and Zombo);
9. Mid-Western (comprising the districts of Bundibugyo, Hoima, Kabarole, Kasese, Kibaale, Masindi, Kamwenge, Kyenjojo, Buliisa, Kiryandongo, Kyegegwa and Ntoroko);
10. South Western (comprising the districts of Bushenyi, Kabale, Kisoro, Mbarara, Ntungamo, Rukungiri, Kanungu, Ibanda, Isingiro, Kiruhura, Buhweju, Mitooma, Rubirizi and Sheema).
At household level, the target was to interview 10 households per EA. This implied a total sample of 7,500 households.
