Series Information
This UNPS sample will be visited for two consecutive years (2009/10 and 20010/11,) after which parts of the sample will start to be replaced by new households extracted from the updated sample frames developed by UBOS from the 2012 census.
The UNPS is carried out annually, over a twelve-month period on a nationally representative sample of households, for the purpose of accommodating the seasonality associated with the composition of and expenditures on consumption. The households are also visited twice each year, roughly every six months in a given wave of data collection, in order to better capture agricultural outcomes associated with the two cropping seasons of the country.
Starting in 2009/10, the UNPS has been set out to track and reinterview 3,123 households that were distributed over 322 enumeration areas (EAs) and that were randomly selected out of 7,246 households that had been interviewed by the Uganda National Household Survey (UNHS) in 2005/06. Prior to the start of the 2009/10 field work, 2 households were randomly selected in each EA for the purposes of tracking baseline individuals that moved away from original locations since the UNHS 2005/06. The initial UNPS sample will be subject to three consecutive waves of data collection after which, parts of the sample will start to be replaced by new households
extracted from the updated sample frames developed by the UBOS as part of the 2012 Uganda Population and Housing Census.
The UNPS fits within the Long Term Census and Household Survey Program, such that the questionnaire and the timing of data collection will be coordinated with the surveys and census implemented by the UBOS. To suit its multiple objectives, the UNPS is comprised of a set of survey instruments, namely:
• Household Questionnaire,
• Woman Questionnaire,
• Agriculture Questionnaire, administered to the subset of UNPS households engaged in
agricultural activities, including fishing and livestock,
• Community Questionnaire, and
• Market Questionnaire

Abstract
Uganda has experienced strong economic growth over the past two decades, and has made great strides towards improving the quality of life and access to services. In order to continue to promote pro-poor economic growth, the Government of Uganda (GoU) developed the National Development Plan (NDP) and a Joint Budget Support strategy as part of the implementation of the National Development Strategy (NDS).
The GoU recognizes the need for adequate data collection to effectively monitor outcomes of the NDS. Towards this end, the Uganda Bureau of Statistics (UBOS) is implementing the Uganda National Panel Survey (UNPS) program, with financial and technical support from the Government of Netherlands, and the World Bank Living Standards Measurement Study - Integrated Surveys on Agriculture (LSMS-ISA) project.
The main objective of the UNPS program is to implement four waves of a multi-topic panel household survey over a five-year period, starting in 2009/10, and with a strong focus on smallholder agriculture. Given the frequency with which the data will be collected, the UNPS program will provide an opportunity to inform policymaking in advance of the Budget, through descriptive reports in time for the initial work on sector budget framework papers

Notes
The UNPS aims at producing annual outcome estimates in key policy areas and at providing a platform for experimenting with and assessing national policies and programs. Explicitly, the objectives of the UNPS include:
1. To provide information required for monitoring the NDS, of major programs such as NAADS and General Budget Support, and also to provide information to the compilation of the National Accounts (e.g. agricultural production);
2. To provide high quality nationally representative information on income and poverty dynamics in interim years of other national survey efforts, such as the Uganda National Household Survey (UNHS), Uganda Demographic and Health Survey (UDHS) and National Service Delivery Surveys (NSDS);
3. To provide a framework for low-cost experimentation with different policy interventions to, for instance, reduce teacher absenteeism, improve ante- and post-natal care, or assess the effect of agricultural input subsidies;
4.To provide a framework for policy oriented analysis and capacity building substantiated with the UGDR and support to other research which will feed into the Annual Policy Implementation Review; and
5. To facilitate randomized impact evaluations of interventions whose effects cannot currently be readily assessed through the existing system of national household surveys.

Sampling
Sampling Procedure
The UNPS initial sample was a subset of about 3,220 households, selected from the 7,426 households visited by the UNHS-06.
This initial sample will be visited for two consecutive years (2009/10 and 20010/11,) after which parts of the sample will start to be replaced by new households extracted from the updated sample frames developed by UBOS from the 2012 census.
