Burkina Faso - Informal Survey 2009

Primary tabs

    This research is a survey of unregistered businesses conducted in Burkina Faso between May and October 2009, simultaneously with Burkina Faso 2009 Enterprise Survey. 120 informal businesses were interviewed. The objective of World Bank firm-level surveys is to obtain feedback from enterprises in client countries on the state of the private sector, assess the constraints to private sector growth and create statistically significant business environment indicators that are comparable across countries. Informal survey questionnaires are a shorter, tailored to unregistered businesses, version of Enterprise Survey questionnaires. The topics include general information about a business, infrastructure and services, sales and supplies, crime, sources and access to finance, business-government relationship, assets, AIDS and sickness (for African region), bribery, workforce composition, obstacles to get registration, reasons for not registering, and benefits that an establishment could get from registration. Business owners or managers are interviewed face-to-face.

    Study Type: 
    Enterprise Survey
    Unit of Analysis: 
    The primary sampling unit of Informal Surveys is an unregistered establishment. In Burkina Faso, registration with the Chambre de Commerce, d’Industrie et d’Artisanat du Burkina Faso differentiated formal and informal businesses.
    Primary Investigator Name, Affiliation: 
    World Bank
    Sampling Procedure: 
    For the informal sector, there were no sample lists of firms. The sampling procedure was to survey an unregistered establishment in a certain geographic region and sector, similar to a registered business with one to four employees, interviewed for the Enterprise Survey that was conducted in conjunction with the Informal Survey. Because a formal sample frame was not used, it is not possible to calculate response rates, universe estimates, or sampling weights for the informal sector sample.
    Questionnaires: 
    The current survey instrument is available: - Informal Questionnaire. The survey topics include general information about a business, infrastructure and services, sales and supplies, crime, sources and access to finance, business-government relationship, assets, AIDS and sickness (for African region), bribery, workforce composition, obstacles to get registration, reasons for not registering, and benefits that an establishment could get from registration.
    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.
