The impact of agro-input among smallholder farmers in Sironko district, Uganda

Dataset for a cross-sectional survey of 249 participants. The data was collected on 126 savings groups (SGs) participants and 123 non-participants.This study took place in Uganda in the district of Sironko. The study was a cross sectional survey conducted using a face-to-face structured questionnaire. The study had two populations, the population of savings group members, and that of non-savings group members. Within the population of savings group members, there were strata, that is, the savings groups were composed of between 4 to 90 individuals. While the population of the non-savings group members was uniform. Within the population of savings group members, stratified random sampling was used to obtain the respondents. All 300 SGs gathered from the Sironko district local government and non-governmental organisations were tabulated in the Excel program with their corresponding contact details and addresses. The groups were sampled by simple random sampling using the Excel function (=RAND). This function assigns a random number to each row within the table. The table was then put in descending order using the random numbers column. The first 125 groups were picked to be interviewed for the study. Only one participant was interviewed from each SG. The data was entered and coded using Excel before exporting to STATA 15, the software package used for analysis.本数据集为一项横断面调查的研究数据，共纳入249名研究对象。数据采集自126名储蓄小组（Savings Groups, SGs）参与者与123名非参与者。本研究于乌干达西龙科（Sironko）区开展，采用面对面结构化问卷实施横断面调查。 本研究涵盖两类研究人群：储蓄小组成员群体与非储蓄小组成员群体。其中储蓄小组成员群体存在分层特征：各储蓄小组的成员规模介于4至90人不等；而非储蓄小组成员群体的分布则较为均匀。 针对储蓄小组成员群体，研究采用分层随机抽样方法选取调查对象。研究人员从西龙科区地方政府与非政府组织处收集到全部300个储蓄小组的信息，将其及对应联系方式与地址录入Excel表格。随后借助Excel的RAND函数开展简单随机抽样：为表格每一行分配随机数值，再按随机数列对表格进行降序排序，选取前125个储蓄小组参与访谈，且每个储蓄小组仅访谈1名参与者。 所有调研数据先通过Excel完成录入与编码工作，随后导出至用于数据分析的STATA 15统计软件包进行后续处理。
