From rural to digital: the rise of e-money in developing economies
REFNo: SS293ES
This research project looks at the uptake of mobile money services in a rural setting of west Uganda. The project seeks to understand, as per the key research question, how mobile money has a positive effect on poverty alleviation within the context of the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals and the G20’s commitments to financial inclusion for the unbanked? It further aims to understand whether mobile money is a transformational technology, offering value to its users, or a displacing technology that propagates social and economic disparity, privileging a few at the expense of the many? In response to these questions, the research will take a case study approach to explore and evaluate the user experience of mobile money services in the context of a poor, rural region where a high proportion of the community is unbanked.

Water user perceptions of the pre-paid meter system in the slums of Kampala: A Spatial and Institutional Analysi
REFNo: SS312ES
In Kampala-Uganda, the National Water and Sewerage Corporation (NWSC) is using pre-paid meter technology to provide water services to people living in slums. Shared PPM standpoints have been installed on both public and private land and can be used by anyone who has a token to access the system and can afford to pay for the water.
This study will investigate water users’ perceptions of the shared PPM system seeking to specifically uncover user insights on the processes of water access and withdrawal. To do that we will utilize GIS tools to map the shared PPMs within the slum and identify with users the different characteristics of the PPM system. In addition, we will investigate the different arrangements users have created to access tokens that could be used in the shared PPMs. At the end of the research, we may be able to identify some barriers to accessing and withdrawing water in the slums.

Hearing their voices: Action research to support women’s agency and empowerment in livestock vaccine distribution, delivery and use in Rwanda, Uganda and Kenya
REFNo: A42ES
Objective #1: Gender analysis and baseline assessment- Identify and analyze the barriers, opportunities and strategies for improving women’s entry and participation in livestock ownership and vaccine value chain (VVC) in Rwanda, Uganda and Kenya.
• What gender, social, cultural, political, economic, technical barriers and perceptions impede women’s effective participation, define livestock ownership and decision making and prevent women from being beneficiaries of livestock vaccines as users, service providers and entrepreneurs?
• What factors and opportunities are needed or exist to enhance their participation in the VVC to increase livestock productivity and improve household food security?
Objective #2:VVC analysis- Conduct a VVC analysis focusing on PPR in Uganda, RVF in Rwanda and NCD in Kenya to determine if the VVC supports women empowerment and gender equality.
• What economic, socio-cultural, familial, legal, political and psychological networks shape the current VVC at the micro, meso and macro levels and how do these impact women small holder farmers? Who are VVC key players and how do they impact women empowerment and gender equality? What are the gender capacities (skills, knowledge, perceptions, attitudes, behavior) of the actors along the VVC?
Objective #3: Entry points- Test models that support women’s entry into the VVC and their impact on empowerment and livelihoods.
• What entry points exist along the VVC and how can they enhance women’s participation? What women’s agency and empowerment models address entrepreneurship, self-reliance, and cooperation?
• How can these models support women’s participation in and benefit from the VVC?
• What test models can support women’s entry and participation in the LOVVC?
• What is the impact of the models and what components have the potential to be scaled out and adapted to other community settings?
