Survey instrument

After this, revisions were incorporated into the survey with additional feedback being given by trainees at the local training centres around the country. The final version of the questionnaire was developed in Kinyarwanda and translated back into English, and then endorsed by the Steering Committee.
The coding of information on the economic activity of establishments was conducted between February 28thand April 8th 2011. Some 32 coders were recruited and trained to complete the coding.
