title: Environment for Development Dar es Salaam Energy Survey - Energy Enterprises

description: The Environment for Development Dar es Salaam Energy Survey (EFD-DES) consists of a household survey and an enterprise survey that took place from the 29th of January to the 13th of February 2020. The survey work was funded by the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (Sida), through the Swedish embassy in Tanzania.
The primary goal of the household survey was to collect current and detailed information on the economic and socio-demographic profile of households in Dar es Salaam, with a specific focus on household energy use. In addition, the energy enterprise survey was intended to provide information on the nature of small-scale energy enterprises that sell and deliver fuels and cookstoves directly to households. 
The survey was conducted primarily to inform a World Bank Policy Note on the transition towards clean, affordable and sustainable household energy in Dar es Salaam. In addition, the household survey forms the baseline for a longer-term study on the impacts of a UNIDO bioethanol cookstove program in Dar es Salaam, as well as an important and current source of information to study fuel use in Dar es Salaam. 
The survey was designed and implemented by a collaborative group of researchers within the Environment for Development (EfD) network, including researchers at the University of Dar es Salaam, Duke University, the University of Gothenburg and the University of Cape Town. The household survey was based on an instrument developed by researchers at Duke University Sanford School of Public Policy, that has been used in Kenya and Nepal, allowing for some cross-country comparability. In total 1100 households, containing 4,396 individuals were interviewed. In addition, 225 energy enterprises were interviewed.

The energy enterprise survey was implemented at the same time and followed the sampling strategy of the Household survey. The intention of this survey was to gain an understanding of the energy supply landscape that households face, including obtaining information on the nature of energy enterprises in Dar es Salaam as well as price data to be used in further analysis.
As such, the enterprise survey took place in the same streets and wards as the household survey. Enumerators were instructed to interview small and medium-scale energy retailers and delivery firms in the same areas that households participating in the household survey were located. Table 2 in the attached document "Basic Information Document" (page 2) provides an overview of the enterprise survey sections.
