Individuals and institutions The universe under study is micro-enterprises in selected South African townships Census enumeration data Sustainable Livelihoods Foundation Face-to-face [f2f] The small area census method allowed for iterative revisions of the survey instruments, to explore emergent themes. This resulted in successive refinements of the questionnaires. There were five revisions of the survey in total. The rationale for the SLF research was the relative scarcity of detailed information on township micro-enterprises at the area level. To address the shortage of area information, SLF advanced a mixed methods approach termed 'small-area census'. First, a census of all verifiable economic activities in an area was conducted, to identify spatial distribution and patterns. Second, sector-selected respondents from all identified micro-enterprises were interviewed. Third, qualitative and participatory evidence was examined, along with the survey data to understand the social, economic and political dynamics facing micro-enterprises in the township context.
