Inspiring Careers in the Agrifood Sector through Career Talks and Human-Centered Approaches
REFNo: SS5457ES
This study seeks to generate rigorous evidence to inform the design and potential scale-up of career guidance interventions for O-Level and Agricultural Technical and Vocational Education and Training (ATVET) students in Uganda’s agrifood sector.
The broader project involves designing and piloting two modalities of career talks video-based and in-person using a human-centered and iterative approach. Evidence generated through the research phases will guide refinement and assess feasibility for integration into Uganda’s career guidance systems.
3.2 Research Objectives (Evidence-Generating)
The research component of the study has five core objectives:
To assess baseline perceptions, aspirations, and knowledge gaps among O-Level and TVET students regarding careers in Uganda’s agrifood sector.
To identify key design features (content, delivery style, messenger characteristics, and format) that make career talks engaging, culturally relevant, and gender-sensitive for different student segments.
To compare the effectiveness of in-person versus video-delivered career talks in influencing students’ career knowledge, perceptions, and intentions toward agrifood careers.
To examine factors affecting the acceptability and feasibility of implementing career talks within school and TVET institutional contexts.
To generate evidence-based recommendations for scalable career guidance interventions aligned with Uganda’s education and youth employment systems.
3.3 Project (Implementation) Objectives
The following objectives relate to intervention development and implementation rather than evidence generation:
To co-create career talk content with students, teachers, and agrifood professionals using a human-centered design approach.
To recruit and brief role models representing selected personas for prototype development and piloting.
To develop and refine prototype career talks through iterative stakeholder testing.
To prepare career talk formats for potential integration into national career guidance structures.
These project objectives provide the foundation for the research but are not themselves evaluative outcomes.
3.4 Research Questions
What are the prevailing perceptions, aspirations, and misconceptions about agrifood careers among O-Level and TVET students in Uganda?
What design elements (content, messenger, format, delivery mode) make career talks engaging and credible for students across contexts?
How do in-person and video-delivered career talks differ in their influence on students’ knowledge, perceptions, and stated career intentions?
What institutional, logistical, and contextual factors influence the acceptability and feasibility of delivering career talks in schools and TVET institutions?
What implications do the findings have for scalable, policy-aligned career guidance interventions in Uganda?

From job displacement to economic resilience: Mapping the net impact of AI on formal and informal employment across three African economies
REFNo: SS5147ES
The overall objective of this study is to generate rigorous, gender-disaggregated, intersectional evidence on the net socio-economic impacts of AI on formal and informal employment in Uganda, Kenya, and South Africa, and translate this evidence into rights-based, African-led policy frameworks that ensure AI transitions are inclusive, safe, and aligned with sustainable development.
Specific objectives
(i) To measure the causal effect of firm-level AI adoption on net employment task recomposition, earnings volatility, and household poverty risk, disaggregated by gender, age, disability, geography, and formality status. Using a sequentially integrated design—linking 1,200 firms’ AI Intensity Index to 4,500 workers’ diary panel and administrative tax records—we will identify which demographic groups face displacement versus augmentation, and trace micro-to-macro transmission channels affecting social-protection demand.
(ii) To identify, test, and refine policy levers—portable social protection benefits, mandatory algorithmic fairness audits, and gender-responsive re-skilling subsidies—that enhance economic resilience for vulnerable workers, particularly women, youth, and persons with disabilities. Through a participatory GEDI Lab (co-chaired with trade unions, women’s networks, and PWD advocates) with veto power over sampling, instruments, and recommendations, we will validate rights-based policy scenarios via a regulatory sandbox covering 20 digital-labour platforms. This ensures policies are not technocratic but reflect lived realities and African priorities, directly minimizing AI’s potential to exacerbate gender inequalities and human rights violations.
(iii) To strengthen Africa’s AI-labour research ecosystem by mentoring eight African PhD students (?60% women, ?20% PWDs) through a triadic supervision model, and creating an open-source Continental Methodology Toolkit (AI Intensity Index calculator, AfroXLMR models, intersectional DiD estimators) for continent-wide replication. Outputs will be embedded in national AI strategies, ESG disclosure rules, and a COMESA Model Law on Algorithmic Labour Practices, ensuring sustainability beyond the project’s 36-month timeline and transforming global AI-labour debates from models that ignore Africa into African-led evidence that guides the continent’s digital future.
