Impact of Gender Affirmative Action in University Education on Labor Market Outcomes and Skill Matching
REFNo: SS4741ES
The overarching objective of this study is to evaluate the long-term economic and educational impact of Makerere University’s affirmative action (AA) policy in STEM admissions. The policy, which lowered admission thresholds for the underrepresented gender to achieve a 60–40 balance, expanded women’s access to STEM programs and may also have shaped academic trajectories, skill development, and labor market outcomes. This project seeks to generate rigorous evidence on these impacts.
To achieve this overarching goal, the study will pursue the following specific objectives:
Objective 1:
To assess how the policy influenced students’ academic performance, skill accumulation, and preparedness for STEM careers. In particular, the study examines whether the policy affected students’ labor market aspirations and subsequent skill–job match, by evaluating whether affirmative action recipients are more or less likely to work in STEM-aligned occupations.
Objective 2:
To estimate the impact of the gender-based affirmative action policy on graduates’ labor market outcomes, including employment probability, occupational sorting, career progression, and earnings, and to assess whether these effects differ by gender.
Objective 3:
To investigate perceptions of affirmative action among students and employers, and to understand how gender dynamics, stigma, and peer interactions influence educational experiences and labor market behavior.

Measuring chlorination in areas with active Evidence Action chlorine delivery interventions
REFNo: SS3948ES
This study aims to assess the take-up of drinking water chlorination under DSW and ILC in Uganda and to compare different measurement methodologies to help improve monitoring protocols. The primary outcome of interest is the total number of people who use water pointers with DSW or ILC for which we can detect chlorine residual in the drinking water. Secondary outcomes explore differences in the methods used to estimate chlorination. In particular, we are interested in comparing chlorination rates measured using two different sampling frames (self-reported water point users and water point users listed) and two different chlorine residual measurement instruments (color discs and colorimeters). The tertiary outcome is the functionality of chlorination devices, which may be connected to low adoption. Finally, additional data will be collected to perform an exploratory analysis on other factors that may influence the adoption of chlorine for water treatment, such as the distance to the nearest water point where chlorine is available and the occurrence of symptoms related to the consumption of contaminated water.
