Royal Society APEX Award - Foreseeing Management of Emerging Unprecedented Hydroclimatic Extremes to Embrace Resilience in Sub-Saharan African Communities
REFNo: NS1150ES
To develop a comprehensive and transferable framework for the robust assessment and management of future hydroclimatic risks across SSA, integrating regional climate science, socio-ecological equity considerations, and long-term decision-making, using Uganda as a demonstrative case study.
The research has three specific objectives (SO):
[SO1] To model regional climate changes across Sub-Saharan Africa and identify plausible but unprecedented hydroclimatic extremes likely to emerge during the 21st century, with focused high-resolution climate risk assessment analysis for Uganda.
[SO2] To co-identify socio-ecologically equitable adaptation priorities with Ugandan stakeholders, and to compare these insights with SSA-wide patterns captured through an online survey, thereby informing broader NbS planning frameworks.
[SO3] To co-develop and evaluate long-term decision-making approaches that evaluate whether NbS benefits can be sustained in Uganda in the face of emerging unprecedented floods and droughts, with scalable implications for SSA

Understanding Community Communication and Pro-Social
Engagement in Uganda: A Behavioral System Mapping
Approach
REFNo: SS4873ES
This study aims to identify structural and behavioral factors (drivers, barriers, and levers) that
influence either increasing or decreasing prosocial engagement across different population
segments in Uganda, using a systems perspective. The goal is to use these insights to design
and test contextually grounded behavioral interventions that enable and empower civil
society organizations (CSOs) to influence and enhance prosocial engagement in the country.
This study will also apply the COM-B model as follows:
● Capability: Evaluating citizens' knowledge and skills to participate.
● Opportunity: Examining how access to information and spaces for engagement
either promote or hinder prosocial engagement.
● Motivation: Analyzing how beliefs, norms, and trust shape the willingness to
participate in prosocial activities.
Each research question will be aligned with the COM-B dimensions
