Overview
Abstract
The Manpower Survey project was initiated by the Ministry of Public Service and Labour and the National Institute of Statistics following a meeting of Ministers in charge of labour in East Africa Community (EAC) countries that took place in Kampala in 2006. The objective of this meeting was to prepare a protocol of free labour movement in the region and the establishment of the Common Market Protocol (CMP).
The meeting urged Partner States to undertake a Manpower Survey. The purpose of these surveys is to establish a better understanding of their respective labour markets as essential prerequisite for implementing the CMP in a successful and efficient manner. For reasons of comparability it was agreed to conduct these national manpower surveys in a harmonised way in all EAC member states.

Scope
Notes
The Manpower Survey includes the 3 following modules: Informal sector module, Formal Sector module, Educational institutions module, and a Diaspora module.
1. The Informal Sector Module:
1.1 The first sub-module of the Informal sector module is the Employer's sub-Module to collect information on establishments
1.2 The second sub-module is the Employees' sub-Module which provides detailed information on employees in the informal sector.
2. The Formal Sector Module:
This module collected data on employers and employment in public and private establishments of the formal sector. Politicians, military and Police forces were not considered as employees.
This module comprises two sub-modules:
2.1 The Employer's sub-module : To collect information on Establishment characteristics , employment characteristics, total number of posts and number of filled posts, total gross remuneration, number and type of vacant posts and future manpower projections and staff development
2.2 The Employee sub-module: To collect information of employees from the sampled public and private establishments in formal sector.
3. The Education and training institutions module: To collect information on labour, current and future enrolment and training output. It covers both Public and Private Institutions in Primary and Secondary Schools; Technical and Vocational Training Schools and Tertiary institutions / Universities.
A Diaspora module was used to collect information on the technical and entrepreneurial skills of Rwandans abroad as well as the likelihood, obstacles and opportunities to harness this potential. However, coverage for this module was not extensive enough to create a useful dataset.
A further module - an Unemployement for skilled persons module - was planned but not initiated.
