Series Information
The Investor Survey 2011, is the first of its kind to be conducted in Uganda. In 1997, UIA undertook a comprehensive pilot investor survey of 1,881 entities.The pilot survey covered projects licensed between 1991 and 1996. Following that survey, Private Sector Investor Surveys were conducted in 2001, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2010 but covered only 20 percent of the total licensed projects. The Investor Survey 2011 is one of such studies that were intended to generate adequate statistical information to update the investor database.
Abstract
The Survey targeted all domestic and foreign projects licensed by UIA between 1991 and 2010, but whose operational status had not been established during the previous Private Sector Investment Surveys. These were in total 3,153 projects. The overall objective of this survey was to establish the actual value of investment and employment generated by licensed projects. In particular, the Investor Survey 2011 (IS2011) collected information on the nature, distribution and sources of private investment, investment stocks and flows and employment, investors’ participation in international trade, and constraints to investment financing by the surveyed firms. In addition, the survey collected investors’ perceptions on the impact of Government participation in private sector affairs.

Supervision
The Investor Survey 2011 was conducted by UBOS in collaboration with UIA and MFPED. The three institutions provided technical officers who formed the national technical team that oversaw fieldwork activities during the survey. The technical team comprised of one National Coordinator, two Deputies, and six Supervisors (four for field work, two for data processing) provided by the collaborating institutions. In addition, the field team comprised of four team leaders with each team having five field interviewers.
Data Collection Notes
The data collection instruments were pre-tested to establish their validity and completeness, including the questionnaire flow. Each field interviewer visited at least one project and tested the survey tools. This ensured the removal of ambiguous questions and dodged questions while finalizing the survey instruments.
During the pre-test, a number of challenges were encountered and lessons learned which shaped the final survey implementation strategy.

Questionnaires
Questionnaires
The survey tools were designed in accordance to the survey objectives and anticipated parameters for estimation in order to generate the required information. The survey instruments were designed by the technical team in consultation with key stakeholders to take into account their specific concerns. The questionnaire was thus developed under the following main thematic areas: Particulars of the business entity, value of planned and actual investment, Jobs created, product market, barriers to business expansion in Uganda, Corporate social responsibility, Plant utilisation and investor’s perception, government participation in private sector affairs and future investment prospects. Relevant questions were constructed to collect the data in accordance to the survey objectives.
Data Processing
Data Editing
The editing and coding process was elaborate: it involved field editing and office editing before and after data has been captured. The online editing was also undertaken during data processing using automated validation checks. Thus, the data editing processes detected and isolated errors at various stages which improved the data quality.
