Green (Quality) Revolution for Africa? Interlinking Input and Output Markets for Quality
REFNo: SS4692ES
The primary objective of this study is to assess whether linking smallholder farmers in Sub-Saharan Africa to both reliable markets for high-quality inputs and reliable markets for high-quality outputs can trigger a “Green (Quality) Revolution” that sustainably improves productivity and household incomes.
We will implement a Mixed Clustered-Individual Randomized Controlled Trial (RCT). At the village level, we will compare:
Group A: Villages where households are offered the opportunity to sell high-quality maize at a premium.
Group B: Villages where households are not offered this opportunity.
Within each village, we will introduce household-level randomization:
Group i: Households offered the option to purchase quality-controlled inputs at market prices.
Group ii: Households not offered this option.
This design yields four distinct experimental groups, allowing us to test: (a) whether access to a reliable output market for produce increases productivity and farm income; (b) whether access to input markets offering high-quality inputs increases smallholders’ willingness to adopt modern agricultural technologies; and most importantly, (c) whether simultaneous access to both reliable input and output markets can trigger a “Green (Quality) Revolution” that raises productivity and incomes.

Decolonisation and Black/South Asian mixed-race identity in East Africa, 1940-1980
REFNo: SS4709ES
This is a historical project investigating race relations between South Asians and Africans in late colonial and early postcolonial Kampala through the lens of “mixed-racedness”. It contributes to part of my larger PhD Thesis that examines questions of race, identity, belonging, and nationalism across Tanzania, Kenya, and Uganda in the period 1940-1980. My project explores how British missionaries and colonial agents introduced the concept of “mixed-racedness” to East Africa, asking questions about how Ugandans have identified with, rejected, and appropriated labels like “half-caste”, “chotara/kyotara” or “nusu”. I wish to conduct oral history interviews with a minimum of 10 people in Uganda who are of and older generation and of mixed African/South Asian heritage to discuss the ways in which late colonial and early postcolonial politics impacted their everyday lives. I also plan to consult a range of library and archival materials in Kampala to learn more about the history of Ugandan attitudes towards interracial relationships, the rise of mixed-raced movements such as the “Multiracial Community of Uganda”, and public debates over mixed-race people’s citizenship status after Independence.
Objectives:
1. To shed light on the “hidden histories” of interracial romances and people of mixed Black/South Asian heritage in Uganda, whose experiences are largely absent from the existing historiography.
2. To gain understanding of how colonial and early postcolonial debates influenced the lives and habits of interracial couples and mixed-race people in Kampala, including how attitudes and identities have shifted over time.
3. To produce a Ugandan-based case study that will form an integral part of my PhD Thesis, which seeks to draw comparative analysis of mixed-race identities and their formulation across Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda in the period 1940 to 1980.
4. To preserve mixed-race histories as part of a digital “StoryMaps” archive created with the Blindian Project, which will be accessible online.

Impact of Gender Affirmative Action in University Education on Labor Market Outcomes and Skill Matching
REFNo: SS4741ES
The overarching objective of this study is to evaluate the long-term economic and educational impact of Makerere University’s affirmative action (AA) policy in STEM admissions. The policy, which lowered admission thresholds for the underrepresented gender to achieve a 60–40 balance, expanded women’s access to STEM programs and may also have shaped academic trajectories, skill development, and labor market outcomes. This project seeks to generate rigorous evidence on these impacts.
To achieve this overarching goal, the study will pursue the following specific objectives:
Objective 1:
To assess how the policy influenced students’ academic performance, skill accumulation, and preparedness for STEM careers. In particular, the study examines whether the policy affected students’ labor market aspirations and subsequent skill–job match, by evaluating whether affirmative action recipients are more or less likely to work in STEM-aligned occupations.
Objective 2:
To estimate the impact of the gender-based affirmative action policy on graduates’ labor market outcomes, including employment probability, occupational sorting, career progression, and earnings, and to assess whether these effects differ by gender.
Objective 3:
To investigate perceptions of affirmative action among students and employers, and to understand how gender dynamics, stigma, and peer interactions influence educational experiences and labor market behavior.
