Series Information
In November 2001, the World Bank approved the Energy for Rural Transformation (ERT) programme as a three phase Adaptable Program Loan. The ERT programme is by the Government of Uganda with the vision to use energy schemes to reduce poverty and cause rural transformation. The purpose is to develop Uganda's energy and information/communication technologies (ICT) sectors so that they facilitate a significant improvement in the productivity of enterprises as well as the quality of life of households.
The objectives of the first phase of the programme (ERT 1) that was concluded in 2009 were to put in place a functioning, conducive environment and related capacity for commercially-oriented, sustainable service delivery of rural/renewable energy and ICTs.
The Monitoring and Evaluation Scheme is intended to monitor the rural transformation intermediate and final outcomes resulting from the electrification investments. The programme is expected to generate significant direct as well as indirect benefits to the beneficiaries and target institutions. Benefits could be through increased access to employment opportunities, periodic and long-term income sources, improved health care and education, improved access to clean water, communication and value addition to agricultural outputs and enhanced community participation. Indicators will be identified, based on the work already undertaken in ERT 1, to measure these input-output-outcome linkages. The full impact of the ERT programme can only be monitored when both the direct and indirect impacts are measured over the programme period.
The ERT 1 Monitoring Survey will involve randomly selecting and interviewing households in the selected sites. These respondents will be asked questions about their household characteristics, access to and utilization of grid electricity, alternatives to grid electricity, issues to do with reliability, market availability as well as the perceived cost of the different types of fuel, household appliances, household expenditure on energy and communication among other topics which will be helpful in monitoring the impact of ERT 1.

Abstract
The ERT 1 Monitoring Survey will involve randomly selecting and interviewing households in the selected sites. These respondents will be asked questions about their household characteristics, access to and utilization of grid electricity, alternatives to grid electricity, issues to do with reliability, market availability as well as the perceived cost of the different types of fuel, household appliances, household expenditure on energy and communication among other topics which will be helpful in monitoring the impact of ERT 1.
Household surveys provide valuable information for monitoring government programmes. Monitoring the performance and the outcomes of the ERT I interventions is critical to the evaluation of the progress made and challenges that can be remedied in ERT II.

Version Notes
The ERT dataset is a subset of data obtained from UBOS. It was produced for the ERT MOnitoring survey
Scope
Notes
The primary aim of the ERT I monitoring and evaluation is to measure the impact of the ERT interventions and the rural transformation process.
The specific objective of the ERT I monitoring and evaluation survey is to measure project effectiveness and impact in terms of access services, changes in incomes and welfare and pace of implementation. Like the Baseline Survey, the ERT 1 Monitoring Survey 2010 will aim at covering the three sites that were covered namely Kisiizi, Paidha and Sironko. This survey will cover the following subjects:
Household characteristics including household composition, education, health, access to and utilization of grid electricity, alternatives to grid electricity, issues to do with reliability, market availability as well as the perceived cost of the different types of fuel, household appliances, household expenditure on energy and communication and households main source of earnings and income.
Enterprises including information on access to improved energy, reliability of energy sources, profitability of enterprises and employment, access to ICT as well as preferred energy source.
Service Providers - health, education including information on access to improved energy, reliability of energy sources, expenditure on energy sources, access to ICT as well as preferred energy source.
Community Questionnaire to gather data at the village level and enhance the linkages and analysis of the data sets

Sampling
Sampling Procedure
The survey was a sample survey. A sample of the population was selected and data collected from them but used to draw conclusions for the entire population. The main reason for using sample surveys instead of a complete enumeration are to reduce the time and cost of collecting information. The accuracy of a sample survey depends among other things, upon the size of the sample. Sample size was predetermined by the survey organizers according to the level of accuracy needed for the results.
The accuracy of a sample survey was also dependent upon another major factor, the absence of bias which would affect the proportions found through the sample. To control or prevent bias from creeping into the results, the selection of households included in the sample was completely random. This means that every person in the total population to be studied has an opportunity to be selected in the sample. This is why it was so important to make callbacks to reach those people who are not at home, since they may be different from people who are at home.
A two stage sampling design was used. At the first stage, a sample of about 30 Enumeration Areas (EAs)/villages has been selected from a sampling frame generated during the pre-visits to the sites. At the second stage, 10 households and 10 establishments was selected using simple random sampling from the selected EAs.
