WHO? Institutional units and sectors - Classification by industry, called ‘functional
classification’ represents the production process and the flows experienced by goods and services produced in the economy.
- Classification by institutional sector where the units are defined according to their economic behavior, economic function and economic objectives.

WHO? Institutional units and sectors
Definition:
An institutional unit is an economic entity that is capable, in its own right, of owning assets, incurring liabilities and engaging in economic activities and in transactions with other entities.
African Centre for Statistics
WHO? Institutional units and sectors
Characteristics- It is entitled to own goods or assets in its own right; it is therefore
able to exchange ownership of goods or assets in transactions with other institutional units;
- It is able to take economic decisions and engage in economic activities for which it is itself held directly responsible and accountable at law;
- It is able to incur liabilities on its own behalf, to take on other obligations or future commitments and to enter into contracts;
- It has a complete set of accounts, including a balance sheet of assets and liabilities, or it would be possible and meaningful, from an economic viewpoint, to compile a complete set of accounts if required
African Centre for Statistics
WHO? Types of institutional units
There are 2 main types of institutional units:
1. Persons or a household
A household is defined as a group of persons who share the same living accommodation, who pool some, or all, of their income and wealth and who consume certain types of goods and services collectively, mainly housing and food.

WHO? Types of institutional units
2. Legal or social entitiesA legal or social entity is one whose existence is
recognized by law or society independently of the persons or other entities that may own or control it.
African Centre for Statistics
WHO? : Categories of units
Includes:• Corporations (financial and non-financial)= covers
legally constituted corporations and also cooperatives, limited liability partnerships, notional resident units and quasi-corporations;
• Non-profit institutions (NPIs) =legal or social entities created for the purpose of producing goods and services but whose status does not permit them to be a source of income, profit or other financial gain for the units that establish, control or finance them.
African Centre for Statistics
WHO? : Categories of units
• Government units = Government units are unique kinds of legal entities established by political processes that have legislative, judicial or executive authority over other institutional units within a given area.

WHO? : Categories of units
Classified in institutional sectors based on:- Type of producers- The principal activity and function.

The allocation of a unit to an institutional sector is based on the following questions:
• Is the unit resident? • Is it a household, institutional household (ex. a
hospital) or a legal unit?• Is the unit a non-market or market producer?• Is the unit controlled by the government?• Does the unit provide financial services?• Is the unit foreign-controlled?

• Generation of income account
• After the production account, the next account in the sequence shows how gross value added is distributed to labor, capital, government and, where necessary, flows to and from ROW. This distribution process is called the primary distribution of income and includes:
- Generation of income account
