SITUATION ANALYSIS OF THE IMPACT OF COVID - 19 ON GLOBAL FUND TO END MODERN SLAVERY’S SUPPORTED PROGRAMMES TO END COMMERCIAL SEX EXPLOITATION OF CHILDREN AND ENDING LABOUR EXPLOITATION
REFNo: SS757ES

This is a program evaluation study focusing on CSEC and OLR programs. As a result, the primary questions are divided into two corresponding to the two study sub-components.

Broadly, this study seeks to establish the likely impact of COVID 19 on the implementation of the Commercial and Sex Exploitation programmes supported by the Global Fund to End Modern Slavery, in Kampala and Karamoja areas.

Creating an Ecosystem exemplifying Cross Sector Cooperation Approach towards road safety of motorcycles in Kampala, Uganda
REFNo: SIR43ES

Each safe riding behavior belongs to either Priority (P), Speed (S) or Comprehension (C). So it is imperative to understand which factors affect which behavior and the extent of this effect.Therefore the objectives of this study are;
a)To identify the PPM (Push, Pull, Mooring) factors that promote each of the safe riding behaviors (PSC component).

b)To understand the extent to which push, pull and mooring factors influence the behavior of riders that have had contact with these parameters and those that haven’t.

c)To create a Theory of Change (ToC) model to propose the possible road map to changing the behaviors of riders. Leveraging on these two results above, a proposal of the possible road map to changing the behavior of riders will be made by creating a Theory of Change (ToC) table

Implications of Land Use and Land Cover Changes towards Household Food Security in the Forested and Grassland areas of Mount Elgon Slopes
REFNo: NS122ES

Overall aim of the study
The study seeks to analyze land use and cover changes; and to establish the contribution of this towards carbon emission levels, and climate variations; and to assess the implication towards household food security by looking at the quality, diversity and quantity acquisition procedures within the households of Mount Elgon slopes.
1.3.2 Specific objectives
1. To analyse land use and cover changes on Mt Elgon slopes and assess their impact on CO2 effluxes from the soil in forest and grass land cover/use types.
2. To assess climate variability in relation to land use and land cover changes; and CO2 effluxes in the forested and grassland areas of Mt Elgon Slopes.

3. To assess the impact of land use and cover changes on household food security on Mount Elgon slopes.

Do Corruption Perceptions Kill Competition?
REFNo: SS654ES

Increasing competition in public procurement is a key priority in many developing countries. High and widespread participation in the public procurement market is crucial to ensure the proper functioning of the procurement system, and ultimately high quality public investment. Public procurement of goods and services represents the primary area of government investment, accounting for 14.5% of GDP in low-income countries.
In this study, which takes place in Uganda, we aim to study the role played by a key potential barrier to competition in the public procurement market: firms' perception of public procurement as a rigged system, driven by bureaucratic corruption and personal connections. If these perceptions are widespread among market participants, governments may find it challenging to increase competition for public procurement. Furthermore, if perceptions spillover across public bodies, perceptions of systemic corruption may negatively affect competition even in those public bodies which manage to achieve high performance standards. This may in turn hinder bureaucrats' incentive to increase the performance of their organization, since efforts to reform a public body may not directly map into better perceptions of it among the public.
