Series Information
In the recent past OCGS has undertaken three updates of the Register: a Census of Business Register (CBR) in 2004/05, an update of the Register in 2007/08, and a Comprehensive Census of the CRE in 2012.This 2016 CRE marks another effort by OCGS of reviewing and updating the Register. Similar methods in design of data collection and format used in preceding surveys (i.e. CBR and CRE) have been adopted.
Abstract
The report of the 2016 Census of Establishments contains a wide range of information on business activities operating at fixed premises. It registers both, public and private businesses and their addresses, administrative locations (including the GPS northing’s and easting’s coordinates), status of participation by industrial activity, size of employment, type of legal ownership, type of premises used, year in which the business started and market stallholders. The survey instruments monitored in hotels collected additional information on types, number of rooms and beds. Military, security, and mobile businesses were excluded in the register.
The Census covered all Zanzibar administrative regions: Mjini Magharibi, Kusini Unguja, Kaskazini Unguja, Kusini Pemba and Kaskazini Pemba. Quality of information was assured through close field supervision, an independent quality checks by quality supervisors, and in coding and processing of information. The register and its administrative stratification provide a statistical frame of selecting samples of establishment-based surveys that accurately represent a population of businesses. The industrial (economic) activities undertaken by establishments are classified according to the International Standard Industrial Classification (ISIC), Revision 4. The report is structured according to major economic sectors: Agriculture, Production &
Manufacturing and Services. For distributive services play a major role in Zanzibar’s economy, the services of trade (including hotels and restaurant services) as well as transport (in its all forms) have been isolated from general services. Thus four sectors are considered in analysis.
Undertaking census is costly. Low statistical literacy among proprietors is an additional burden to statistical operations (enumeration); but an up to date register of businesses at all times is a requirement of any country. This calls for the responsible authority to design a system that will automatically update the register, whenever the new establishment enters or exits the business.

Supervision
In order to ease the field work and supervision, the recruited human resource was grouped in teams of 5 or 6 persons, each having a field supervisor, District supervisor as a team leader and a driver. At the peak of the census, there were a total of 16 teams. The team leader was responsible to make initial contacts with the guides (Sheha) and to provide regular reports while the enumerators were responsible with the registering all business and coding the questionnaires. Prior to the field work, each team was allocated with district to cover, basing on the Geographical location. Possible attempts were made to ensure that a particular team was allocated in one Geographical area for easy movement between businesses and supervision.
