Local Conceptions of Child Agency in Post-Conflict Reintegration
REFNo: SS1756ES
The aim of the study is to contribute a normative understanding and conceptualisation of child agency that moves beyond traditional assumptions to recognise the saliency of cultural and local normative conceptualisations
To achieve this aim, the primary objective is to formulate a new normative framework and conceptualisation of child agency in post-conflict reintegration based on the findings drawn from fieldwork conducted in northern Uganda.
The specific objectives to achieve the main objective are as follows:
1. To explore the conceptual and academic foundations of the key concepts inherent within the study, namely ‘the child,’ childhood, child soldier, agency, and reintegration.
2. To utilise the case study of northern Uganda’s former child soldiers and their experiences during both formal reintegration processes and informal participatory avenues to critically examine the applicability of the concepts to the reality of what is taking place.
3. To engage directly with FCS and their communities to draw upon their perspectives, realities, and actions to comprehend the nature of child agency and participation within a post-conflict society.
4. To determine the causal implications of a conceptualisation of child agency towards the formulation of reintegration programmes targeting children, particularly in relation to the incorporation of informal participatory avenues and local cultural norms within broader DDR processes.
5. To unpack the broader impact of the findings on the long-term sustainability of approaches to reintegration at a societal, regional, continental and international level.

Advancing methods for measuring agricultural productivity in household surveys
REFNo: SS2185ES
In a world with increasing climate change and intensifying food insecurity, agricultural productivity is central to development. Increasing agricultural productivity requires a detailed understanding of cultivated land and its limitations, and how these shortcomings can be addressed. Towards this end, getting more reliable data on land quality and quantity, two critical elements in agricultural production, is essential for accurately estimating agricultural productivity indicators like crop yield as well as for correctly identifying key agricultural relationships, such as the often-cited inverse land size-productivity relationship. Recent technological advancements both in the areas of in field soil measurement as well as GPS-based area measurement offer promises to this respect. However, there is a need to test and validate some of the most promising methods to assess their cost-effectiveness and potential for scalability in the context of large-scale surveys and vis-à-vis more traditional improved approaches such as the elicitation of subjective and observational information in household level questionnaires.
The primary objectives of this study are:
1. Improve the measurement of agricultural productivity in household surveys
2. Test and validate innovative methods for soil health and land area measurement in the context of household surveys
3. Assess cost-effectiveness of the different methods for scaling up in national surveys
The objectives, methods and relevant literature are presented in the proposal (attached), by domain of research: soil health, land area measurement, and agricultural production measurement.
