The lives & livelihoods of displaced health workers in Uganda
REFNo: HS495ES
By studying the relationships between these global health trends, humanitarian HRH governance in Uganda, and the experiences of displaced HCWs, we aim to provide an in-depth case study of the political dynamics, contradictions and lived realities affecting HRH development in a contemporary refugee response. We do so to prompt debate in domestic and international policy circles which might lead to better inclusion of displaced HCWs in this and other humanitarian responses and, ultimately, explore avenues to improve the lives, livelihoods and future health systems of crises-affected populations.
Specific objectives of this work include:
Map HRH governance initiatives affecting displaced HCWs in Uganda alongside contemporary trends in the health and protection fields which influence HRH decision-making for displaced HCWs by policy actors.
Document the migration and livelihood trajectories of displaced HCWs in relation to their motivations and aspirations for health system building and self-reliance during their experiences of different phases of conflict and displacement.
Identify formal and informal bureaucratic practices which regulate HRH development for displaced HCWs as well as the networks, resources and solutions displaced HCWs draw on to secure access to health livelihoods.
Explore displaced HCW perceptions of the quality of public health responses for refugees in Uganda, including links between continuity of care for patients and continuity of practice for healthcare providers.
Through RECAP collaborators and other interested policy actors, contribute evidence and analyses that could improve employment of displaced HCWs to HRH governance initiatives and processes identified during the research process.

Digitizing Revenue Collection in Northern Uganda
REFNo: SS456ES
This project studies the introduction of a digital tax assessment and collection system into local tax administration in Northern Uganda. We will partner with the UNCDF and Ministry of Local Government to measure the impacts of the digitized system on the process of tax assessment and revenue collections relative to a status quo manual registration and collection system. To study how the digital system affects the accuracy of tax assessment, the research team will conduct independent, objective assessments of
taxpayers and match them to official records. This exercise will provide an opportunity to shed light on how gaps in assessment accuracy correlate with tax compliance to investigate how accuracy and perceived fairness in the
assessment step of taxation impact payment and revenues.
