Changing the game: The dynamics of the commercialisation of football in Eastern Africa
REFNo: SS1246ES
This project is a comparative study of the ongoing and intensifying dynamics of commercialisation of football in East Africa. The aim is to empirically investigate and map the major drivers, characteristics and repercussions (also in terms of development of football, i.e. professionalism, performance, club management, fan experience, popularity etc.) of the commercialisation in two countries: Kenya and Uganda. It aims to capture stakeholders’ experiences, insights and views concerning commercialisation of football. The overall question is: what changes are triggered by the commercialisation of local football? I will talk to various stakeholders and gain some insights into developments at different clubs and commercial developments in Kampala/the country. These case studies will allow me to explore the dynamics of introducing cutting-edge commercial models in sports leagues on a continent that has had – compared to other regions – relatively low levels of commercialisation until recently. This will enable a better understanding of commercialisation-in-practice – and respective similarities and differences across the two sites - in a key football region in the Global South. The findings will inform relevant public/policy debates in the two countries, the region generally and beyond (e.g. at global level) regarding various aspects of the commercialisation of soccer. The study will contribute to the relatively nascent literature on commercialization in Africa generally. It will also draw lessons regarding commercialisation processes and issues that might be applicable to other countries in Africa and beyond.

Using Data to Catalyze Energy Investments
REFNo: SIR98ES
Main Objective: The overarching goal is to provide improved data on demand for productive energy use across Uganda to inform future actions/investments by the Ugandan Government as well as other stakeholders.
Specific Further Objectives: Our methods will capture data related to agricultural conditions and practices, complemented by spatial analysis. Respondent interviews will focus primarily on cropping and irrigation seasonality. These will be used in combination with numerous field observations (taken without interviews). Finally, the outputs of the CWP effort will emphasize statistical analysis and machine learning in order to make geospatial predictions, identifying areas where a combination of factors establish a higher probability for presence of and success in irrigation.

COVID-19 as an urgent call for commitment to women's resilience and empowerment: A participatory action research project with vulnerable women in Uganda
REFNo: SS1207ES
The objectives of this project are to work with women in Uganda to develop and pilot a contextually- and culturally-responsive Resiliency and Empowerment Framework (REF) that will foster a community of support that encourages women to self-inventory their skills, knowledge, abilities, and experiences as well as identify and access resources they require to exercise empowerment and work collectively to transform their societies. The REF will be adaptable for women living in diverse contexts throughout the world. As part of REF, participants will create and implement their own, personal multi-stage Resiliency and Empowerment Plans (REPs) that will reflect their own aspirations. These REPs may represent individualistic or collaborative trajectories.
