More research investigating the global “digital transformation for development” (DX4D) policy in a contextual manner is needed. The research seeks an understanding of the progress, challenges, and opportunities surrounding public-sector digital transformation. Hence, in order to examine the evolution, this research attempts to explore and discuss the underlying global governance factors and dynamics that influence the policy formulation and implementation of public-sector digital transformations in the area of digital identity. The project seeks to gain insights and perspectives on the influential linkages between global governance, public administration, and public-sector digital transformation processes. Objectives The overall aim of the research is to understand how global governance and government actors can foster equitable and inclusive approaches to public sector digital transformation. The research objectives are detailed in the following: Draw insights through an analysis of the dynamics that structure such engagements and investigate how powerful countries and global governance actors influence PSDT. Understand how the PSDT and DPI linked to digital identity influence public administration reform processes, particularly the digital and dynamic capabilities of public organisations. Understand how the PSDT and DPI linked to digital identity influence public value and well-being.

 Multi-level intervention for intersectional stigma reduction to improve HIV outcomes
REFNo: HS2977ES

Adapt the multilevel PRISM ISD-reduction intervention to address ISD for TGW in Uganda.

We will use the ADAPT-ITT model to adapt the multilevel PRISM intervention; specifically, the health facility TFA and individual-level ISD-reduction interventions (multilevel Ssinga nze intervention). Formative research (6 focus group discussions) with healthcare facility (HCF) staff and TGW at four health facilities ranked lowest on the PEPFAR Uganda stigma scorecard will explore ISD drivers and manifestations. We will use ADAPT-ITT to modify the multilevel Ssinga nze intervention comprising the HP+/HIVE3 interventions in consultation with community partners, peers, and providers. We will evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of the adapted Ssinga nze intervention using pre-post surveys, observation of trainings, and pre-post changes in mean scores on stigma scales.

Aim 2: Conduct a pilot hybrid type 1 effectiveness-implementation trial to test the preliminary effectiveness of the adapted multilevel Ssinga nze ISD-reduction intervention on (a) PrEP adherence or (b) viral suppression among TGW using a status-neutral approach.

Two of the health facilities in Aim 1 will be randomly assigned to Ssinga nze (the adapted HP+/HIVE3 intervention) with a 6-month wait-list control. TGW (N=120) will be randomly assigned to receive either Ssinga nze or wait-list control. All will enroll at study clinics, receive HIV testing, and be offered ART or PrEP depending on HIV status. TGW assigned to Ssinga nze will be followed at HIV clinics randomized to HP+; those assigned to wait-list control will attend control health facilities.

Aim 3: Evaluate implementation of Ssinga nze using qualitative methods.
Guided by the Intersectionality-Enhanced Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research [1], we will conduct in-depth interviews with purposively selected cadres of clinic staff trained in HP+ delivery (n=15) and TGW receiving HIVE3 (n=15), and 12 field observations (4 per clinic) to clarify how ISD-reduction intervention delivery may influence HIV prevention and treatment and to understand the actions and synergies of intervention components, assess health facility stigma reduction at HIV clinics for TGW, and interpret implementation data from Aim 2.

REFNo: SS2038ES

This research documenting young people’s everyday livelihood experiences over an extended period will be exploratory, but several theoretical concepts (e.g., livelihood framework, quality of life, sense of economic empowerment) inform the research questions and variables or processes to be explored. Changes to individual circumstances or experiences will not be evaluated through use of a control group, but by longitudinal analysis based on retrospective techniques (e.g., work history and livelihood narrative) and prospective techniques over the 16-month study: (a) What socio-economic changes have been experienced by youth with disabilities since enrolment into the economic empowerment programme? • Has participation in the programme enabled the young men and women with disability to change or undertake paid work activities and livelihood strategies? • Has participation in the programme led to changes in the participant’s and family’s intra-household relationships and social networks? • Has participation in the programme enabled the participant to improve and invest in asset portfolios and their management? (b) What is the participant’s experience of peer research – either as the researched or the researcher? What factors in their daily lives influence their ability to engage in, co-create and co-deliver research with professional researchers? (c) How does participation in an economic empowerment programme affect young people’s outlook and strategies for the future in this setting? (d) To what extent is participation in an economic empowerment programme and improved employability prospects modifying stigma as it manifests in the participant’s social relationships?

The economic impact of tax compliance interventions
REFNo: SS1699ES

This study focuses on three problems.

The first problem is documenting what costs companies incur when receiving different compliance actions. While anecdotal evidence suggests these could be substantial, there has, to the best of our knowledge, not been no systematic survey documenting the costs incurred by companies.

The second problem is estimating where to optimally target what compliance actions bearing in mind the costs to companies and spillover effects. This involves three steps, 1) estimate the impact of compliance actions on the targeted company, 2) estimate the spillover effects of these compliance actions on the targeted company’s’ trading partners, 3) conduct heterogeneity analyses to understand which groups of taxpayer experience the highest/lowest impact. Gaining a good understanding of this problem will help increase the benefit-cost ratio of enforcement interventions.

Finally, if we find that firms change their tax filings after receiving a compliance intervention, we will seek to understand what drives this change in behavior. Theoretically, the mechanism behind a firms’ response is unclear. Firms could respond because they update their beliefs about the likelihood of being caught for tax evasion, because they realize that being caught is costlier, or because the intervention imposes a financial burden on the company mechanically change the amount of taxes they pay.
