Study on the effect of lack of social protection on the cycle of abuse among women and children affected by domestic and Gender-Based Violence in Uganda
REFNo: SS6323ES
Main objective: To examine how, and to what extent, the absence of adequate social protection mechanisms in Uganda influences the cycle of domestic and gender-based violence, and shapes survivors' decisions to remain in, or leave, situations of abuse.
Specific objectives:
To examine the availability and accessibility of shelters for survivors of domestic and gender-based violence, and to assess the extent to which their absence or limited accessibility influences survivors' decisions to remain in abusive situations.
To examine the role and effectiveness of economic empowerment (mechanisms) in supporting survivors’ ability to achieve safety and to analyse and to examine how the lack thereof affects survivors' capacity to leave abusive relationships.
To analyse survivors’ access to justice and first-response mechanisms, including formal and community-based referral pathways, and to identify how barriers to this access contribute to sustaining the cycle of abuse.
To identify gaps and opportunities for strengthening Uganda’s survivor-centred social protection framework and inform policy advocacy and programming.

Insecticide-Treated Net (ITN) Coverage Survey
REFNo: HS8614ES
iv. Main objective/ purpose
This study aims to assess post-campaign ITN ownership, access, and use in selected regions
of Uganda (Lango, Busoga, and Acholi) following mass ITN distribution campaigns conducted in 2025 and 2026.
The study will generate independent, population-based estimates of ITN coverage and be used to evaluate the reach and effectiveness of these campaigns and inform future malaria control investments.
v. Specific Objectives
Data collection will generate direct, independent evidence on ITN ownership, access, and use. This evidence is necessary to:
1. Assess Program Reach: Provide reliable estimates of the proportion of households that own at least one ITN, which is essential for evaluating the effectiveness of the intervention.
2. Identify Coverage Gaps: Identify geographic areas and sub-populations with low ownership or use, enabling targeted programmatic improvements.
3. Assess Net Condition: Measure the proportion of ITNs in serviceable condition, which is critical for ensuring continued protection.
4. Support Programmatic Improvements: Disaggregate findings and compare them with data from other bed net campaign coverage surveys to generate insights that national malaria control programs can use to strengthen future campaign design and implementation.

DESIGNING AN ICT-DRIVEN DATA GOVERNANCE FRAMEWORK TO PROMOTE INNOVATION, ACCOUNTABILITY, AND TRANSPARENCY IN THE NATIONAL STATISTICAL SYSTEM OF UGANDA
REFNo: SIR817ES
The main objective of this study is to design and validate an ICT-driven data governance framework aimed at promoting innovation and transparency within Uganda's National Statistical
System (NSS).
The study will be guided by the following specific objectives:
i. To assess the current state of data governance maturity, by assessing data management practices, policy frameworks, ICT infrastructure, within Uganda national Statistical System (NSS).
ii. To analyze the critical gaps, barriers, and strategic opportunities within the NSS to inform
a tailored data governance approach
iii. To develop a prototype ICT-driven data governance framework that integrates the four pillars of People, Processes, Technology, and Policy, tailored to the gaps and opportunities
identified.
iv. To refine and validate the proposed framework through expert consultations and multistakeholder workshops, assessing its feasibility, contextual relevance, and practical utility
within Uganda's NSS.

The role of agro-input dealer training in reducing pesticide risks in Uganda
REFNo: SS6271ES
The main objective of the study is to evaluate the effectiveness of a newly developed Uganda agro-input dealer training module in influencing agro-input dealers’ behaviour towards pesticide risk reduction. Specific objectives include: (a) Examine the effect of agro-input dealer training on knowledge of pesticide risks and safety measures. (b) Investigate whether the training of agro-input dealers on pesticide risk reduction encourage the stocking and sale of safer alternatives to highly hazardous pesticides. (c) Assess whether trained agro-input dealers are more likely to offer advice on safe pesticide use to their customers
