People with Disabilities & Sexual Reproductive Health Citizenship in the Kalangala Islands of Lake Victoria, Uganda
REFNo: SS5105ES
This study aims to understand how the spatial context of the island shapes sexual reproductive citizenship surrounding sexuality norms, disability stigma, and social and environmental conditions in the Sese Islands of the Kalangala archipelago.
Specific Objectives:
This overarching aim is not explored through a single method. Instead, it is addressed through a set of interrelated objectives, each exploring a specific aspect of sexual and reproductive citizenship within island settings. The objectives focus on different groups and processes, allowing methods to be carefully matched to the sensitivities and experiences aimed to be explored.
Objective 1
How does islandness shape experiences of gender-based violence (GBV) among people with diverse disabilities on the Kalangala Islands?
Objective 2
How does islandness shape fishermen’s perspectives on gender-based violence (GBV)?
Objective 3
What shapes access to SRH services for women with diverse disabilities?
Objective 4
How does islandness shape the sexual reproductive citizenship of men with diverse disabilities?

From job displacement to economic resilience: Mapping the net impact of AI on formal and informal employment across three African economies
REFNo: SS5147ES
The overall objective of this study is to generate rigorous, gender-disaggregated, intersectional evidence on the net socio-economic impacts of AI on formal and informal employment in Uganda, Kenya, and South Africa, and translate this evidence into rights-based, African-led policy frameworks that ensure AI transitions are inclusive, safe, and aligned with sustainable development.
Specific objectives
(i) To measure the causal effect of firm-level AI adoption on net employment task recomposition, earnings volatility, and household poverty risk, disaggregated by gender, age, disability, geography, and formality status. Using a sequentially integrated design—linking 1,200 firms’ AI Intensity Index to 4,500 workers’ diary panel and administrative tax records—we will identify which demographic groups face displacement versus augmentation, and trace micro-to-macro transmission channels affecting social-protection demand.
(ii) To identify, test, and refine policy levers—portable social protection benefits, mandatory algorithmic fairness audits, and gender-responsive re-skilling subsidies—that enhance economic resilience for vulnerable workers, particularly women, youth, and persons with disabilities. Through a participatory GEDI Lab (co-chaired with trade unions, women’s networks, and PWD advocates) with veto power over sampling, instruments, and recommendations, we will validate rights-based policy scenarios via a regulatory sandbox covering 20 digital-labour platforms. This ensures policies are not technocratic but reflect lived realities and African priorities, directly minimizing AI’s potential to exacerbate gender inequalities and human rights violations.
(iii) To strengthen Africa’s AI-labour research ecosystem by mentoring eight African PhD students (≥60% women, ≥20% PWDs) through a triadic supervision model, and creating an open-source Continental Methodology Toolkit (AI Intensity Index calculator, AfroXLMR models, intersectional DiD estimators) for continent-wide replication. Outputs will be embedded in national AI strategies, ESG disclosure rules, and a COMESA Model Law on Algorithmic Labour Practices, ensuring sustainability beyond the project’s 36-month timeline and transforming global AI-labour debates from models that ignore Africa into African-led evidence that guides the continent’s digital future.

Neurocognitive Outcomes and Changes in Brain and Cerebral Spinal Fluid (CSF) Volume after Treatment of Post-Infectious Hydrocephalus (PIH) in Ugandan Infants by Shunting versus Endoscopic Third Ventriculostomy/Choroid Plexus Cauterization (ETV/CPC)
REFNo: HS7254ES
We propose to:
1) Develop and empower CURE Children’s Hospital of Uganda as a unique hydrocephalus research center in the developing world
2) Test the hypothesis that ETV/CPC is superior to shunt-dependence in regard to treatment failure at 10 years;
3) Determine whether our initial finding of neurodevelopmental non-inferiority for ETV/CPC at 12 months is durable to the critical time of 10-years follow up;
4) Determine whether our initial finding of non-inferiority in brain growth for ETV/CPC at 12 months holds true at 10-years of follow up
