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

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.
