Children of War: Evolving mobilization and conceptions of child soldiering in Uganda, 1900-2000
REFNo: SS3296ES
This is one of the case studies of a larger UK Arts and Humanities Research Council grant. The research is comparative across time, region, forms of warfare and varying forms of child recruitment and military use across Africa, from the colonial period to approximately 2000, including archival and secondary data, and three focal case studies (Uganda, Angola, DRC). We are interested to both trace the evolution of child and youth involvement in armed conflict, and humanitarian and human rights responses to children in conflict which gave rise to the concept of 'child soldiers'.
The Uganda case study is critical to the project due to Uganda's centrality in humanitarian narratives and research on children in armed conflict over the last 30 years, as well as its interconnection with regional conflict dynamics (especially with Sudan/South Sudan, DRC and Rwanda). The Uganda case study intends to historicize and culturally-ground the concept of ‘child soldier’ which came to the fore in the 1990s and 2000s, and aims to trace the evolution of this concept and its relation to broader ideas of childhood and child labour in the colonial and post-colonial context. The case study therefore takes a wider temporal frame (1900-2000) than the overall grant project (1940-2000) to capitalise on Uganda’s rich history and archival sources. The specific objectives for the Uganda case study are:
To generate a historical dataset on the involvement of children and youth in armed conflict in Uganda, which will be analyzed comparatively across the other case contexts involved in the broader grant project;
To analyse the historical and regional diversity of ideas of childhood and youth across Uganda, and how these shape children and youth’s involvement in violence
To map (across time and space) humanitarian and local social responses to children/youth involvement and use in armed conflict, focusing on developing discourses and exchange/tension between local and global frames.
To develop connections to practitioners and networks working on child soldiers, DD[R]R (disarmament, demobilization, [rehabilitation], reintegration) and child/youth development across Uganda (both regionally and nationally)

Productive Business Loans for Women in Uganda: Evaluating the Impact of Large, Uncollateralized Loans
REFNo: SS3181ES
To quantify the impact of providing large, uncollateralized loans to women entrepreneurs. The power calculation (shown in the section later) confirms that with 1,000 treated and 1,000 control entrepreneurs, this study is powered at 80% to detect a 0.135 standard deviation (SD) effect on business profits, translating to an increase of approximately USD 64 per month, or 10% of the average borrower’s profits. To test if we can generate a credit scoring model to predict which women entrepreneurs will repay the loans and, relatedly, who will benefit from the loans. To understand if the provision of large uncollateralized loans is financially viable for the lender.

REFNo: SS3376ES
5.1 General Objective
The broad objective of this study is to assess the determinants of the intention to adhere to a RI CoC and open science practices among research stakeholders across the four selected countries in Sub-Saharan Africa.
5.2 Specific Objectives
The specific objectives of the study will be:
1. To describe the participant background information, the six predictor domains, the moderating domain and the outcome domain.
2. To determine whether the six predictor domains, the moderating domain and the outcome domain vary by participant background.
3. To investigate the pair-wise relations between the participant background, the six predictor domains, the moderating domain and the outcome domain.
4. To determine the extent to which the pair-wise relations in Objective 3 vary by participant background characteristics and the moderating domain.
5. To analyze the perspectives of stakeholders on the facilitators and barriers to implementing Research Integrity Code of Conduct in Uganda.
