The first CA was conducted during 1963\/65. The Government of Uganda was assisted\nby FAO and the then Department for Technical Cooperation of the United Kingdom both of which provided international and census equipment to a varying degree. The second CA called the National Census of Agriculture and Livestock (NCAL) was conducted during 1990\/91. It was funded by United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and executed by FAO. Therefore the UCA 2008\/09 formed the third CA in the history of census taking in Uganda.\n\nObjectives of the UCA 2008\/09:\nWhile the long-term objective of the UCA, 2008\/09 was to have a system of Food and Agriculture Statistics (FAS) in place, the immediate objective was to collect and generate benchmark data needed for the monitoring and evaluation of the agricultural sector at all levels, through a nation-wide CA. \n\nMore specifically, the objectives of the UCA, 2008\/09 can be stated as: \n \ni) Provision of data on the social and economic factors of Uganda\u2019s agricultural structure by inter-relating various characteristics of holdings e.g. size of a holding and by type of holding and factors such as fragmentation, land tenure, land utilisation, crop patterns, use of fertilisers and agro-chemicals, use of farm implements and machinery, farm population and labour force;\nii) Provision of detailed agricultural data such as number of holdings, total area of holdings, basic pattern of land utilisation, area under crops and extent of irrigation;\niii) Provision of a benchmark for improving the reliability of current agricultural statistics from annual surveys and administrative sources and for assessing future agricultural development; and,\niv) Creation and strengthening of the national capacity in agricultural censuses and surveys taking.","coll_dates":[{"start":"2008-07","end":"2009-09","cycle":""}],"nation":[{"name":"Uganda","abbreviation":"UGA"}],"geog_coverage":"National coverage","analysis_unit":"Households","universe":"The statistical unit was the agricultural holding (farm), defined as an economic unit of agricultural production under single management comprising all livestock kept and all land used wholly or partly for agricultural production purposes, without regard to title, legal form or size.

Sample design\nA stratified two-stage sample design was used for the small and medium-scale household-based agricultural holdings.

DATA PROCESSING AND ARCHIVING\nThere was concurrent collection and processing of the data. As soon as this was completed, the questionnaires were sent directly to the data processing centre, UBOS.4 CSPro was used for data processing, including data entry, editing and management of the information within a batch. MS Access and Visual Basic were used for general data management, while STATA was used for data editing and analysis and Microsoft Excel was used for tabulation.\n\nii.
