Study notes
An earlier firm-level survey of Ethiopia was conducted in 2002/03 through a collaborative effort of the World Bank, EDRI, Ministry of Trade and Industry, Ethiopian Export Promotion Agency, CSA, Ethiopian Chamber of Commerce, Ethiopian Private Industries Association, Ethiopian Investment Authority, Addis Ababa Women Entrepreneurs’ Association, and UNIDO. Similar surveys have also been carried out in other developing countries. It is believed that a number of reform attempts have been done to encourage the performance of the private sector since the last survey. These include, tax reforms, streamlining business registration processes, investment in the power sector, etc. The current survey in Ethiopia is a follow-up data collection to further look at the effects of past policy reforms on the business climate indicators that affect business performance and growth; identify the current microeconomic impediments and discuss policy options with the government in order to improve the investment climate in Ethiopia.
The sample for Enterprise Surveys is consistently defined in all countries and includes the entire manufacturing sector, the services sector, and the transportation and construction sectors. Public utilities, government services, health care, and financial services sectors are not included in the sample. Enterprise Surveys collect a wide array of qualitative and quantitative information through face-to-face interviews with firm managers and owners regarding the business environment in their countries and the productivity of their firms. The topics covered in Enterprise Surveys include the obstacles to doing business, infrastructure, finance, labor, corruption and regulation, law and order, innovation and technology, trade, and firm productivity.
The Ethiopia Enterprise Survey was conducted between February and October 2006. Data from 484 establishments were analyzed.

Sampling
Sampling procedure
The sample for countries participating in the Enterprise Surveys is stratified by industry, firm size, and geographic region.
For stratification by industry, the main manufacturing sectors in each country in terms of value added, number of firms, and contribution to employment are selected. The retail trade sector is also included in all countries as a representative of the services sector, and depending on the size of the economy, the information technology (IT) sector is included. The rest of the universe comprises a residual stratum. In Ethiopia, Manufacturing sector included 359 firms, Services sector - 119 companies and Other sectors (Residual) - 6 businesses.
Size stratification is defined the following way: small establishments (5 to 19 employees), medium establishments (20 to 99 employees), and large establishments (more than 99 employees).
Regional stratification includes the main economic areas in each country. Addis Ababa, Gondar, Adwa, Awasa, Bahir Dar, Bishoftu, Dire Dawa, Shashemen, Mekele, Adigrat, Nazareth, Harar, Modjo, Wonji and Dilla were surveyed in Ethiopia.
Through this methodology estimates for the different stratification levels can be calculated on a separate basis while at the same time inferences can be made for the economy as a whole, weighting individual observations by corresponding sample weights. Sample sizes for each stratification level are defined ensuring a minimum precision level of 7.5% with 95% confidence intervals for estimates with population proportions.

Data collector(s)
Data Processing
Data editing
Data entry and quality controls are implemented by the contractor and data is delivered to the World Bank in batches (typically 10%, 50% and 100%). These data deliveries are checked for logical consistency, out of range values, skip patterns, and duplicate entries. Problems are flagged by the World Bank and corrected by the implementing contractor through data checks, callbacks, and revisiting establishments.
