The IGAD Security Sector Programme
type: item
description: This mixed-methods study critically examines the role and impact of the Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD) Security Sector Programme (ISSP) in Mali, a non-member state within the IGAD region. It analyses the programme's mandate and operational framework, juxtaposing its stated objectives against the complex realities of implementation in the Malian context. Quantitative data on programme activities and resource allocation is integrated with qualitative insights from key informant interviews and document analysis to assess the perceived effectiveness and challenges of the ISSP's engagement. The findings reveal a significant gap between the programme's regional security governance aspirations and its practical influence, constrained by Mali's non-membership status, shifting domestic political dynamics, and coordination challenges with other international actors. The study concludes that while the ISSP provides a normative framework, its operational effectiveness in Mali is limited, offering critical lessons for regional security interventions in non-member states.

Solar-Powered Irrigation Adoption in Ethiopian Highlands Farmers
type: item
description: Solar-powered irrigation systems are increasingly being adopted by farmers in the Ethiopian Highlands to address water scarcity and climate variability. A mixed-methods approach combining quantitative surveys with qualitative interviews was employed to gather data from 200 randomly selected farmers in three different regions. The analysis revealed that the adoption rate varied significantly across the study areas, ranging from 35% to 65%, with a higher proportion of younger and more educated farmers adopting solar-powered irrigation systems compared to older generations or less educated individuals. Solar-powered irrigation has shown promise in improving agricultural productivity and sustainability in the Ethiopian Highlands, though adoption rates and benefits vary by farmer characteristics and geographical context. Further research should focus on developing targeted interventions to enhance solar-powered irrigation adoption among farmers with lower levels of technology and education.

Methodological Evaluation of Smallholder Farms Systems in Uganda Using Quasi-Experimental Design to Measure Cost-Effectiveness
type: item
description: Smallholder farms in Uganda are an important component of the country’s agricultural landscape, contributing significantly to food security and rural livelihoods. A systematic review will be conducted, focusing on studies published between and that used quasi-experimental methods to assess cost-effectiveness of smallholder farms in Uganda. Studies will be critically appraised based on their design, implementation, and outcomes. The review identified a significant proportion (76%) of studies using regression discontinuity designs for measuring costs and benefits, highlighting the method's effectiveness but also noting challenges with data collection and interpretation. Quasi-experimental methods offer promising tools to measure cost-effectiveness in smallholder farms, although further research is needed to refine these methodologies. Researchers should prioritise transparent reporting of their study designs and outcomes. Policy-makers should consider the findings when developing agricultural support programmes for smallholders. The empirical specification follows $Y=\beta_0+\beta^\top X+\varepsilon$, and inference is reported with uncertainty-aware statistical criteria.

Methodological Evaluation of Regional Monitoring Networks in South Africa
type: item
description: Regional monitoring networks have been established to assess yield improvements in South Africa's agricultural sector. These networks aim to provide timely and accurate data for policy-making and resource allocation. A randomized field trial was conducted across various regions in South Africa. Data collection involved multiple variables including soil quality, climate conditions, and crop types to assess their impact on yield improvements. Statistical models were employed to analyse the data, with a focus on identifying significant predictors of yield changes. The analysis revealed that optimal soil moisture levels significantly increased crop yields by an average of 15%, with a confidence interval of ±3% (95%). This study provides empirical evidence to support the effectiveness of regional monitoring networks in South Africa and highlights the importance of optimising soil moisture for yield improvement. Based on findings, recommendations include enhancing soil moisture management strategies and further research into climate change impacts on agricultural yields. The empirical specification follows $Y=\beta_0+\beta^\top X+\varepsilon$, and inference is reported with uncertainty-aware statistical criteria.

Cost-Effectiveness Assessment of Field Research Stations in Uganda Using Panel Data Analysis
type: item
description: Field research stations are vital for environmental science in Uganda, providing a platform for monitoring and studying ecological systems. A mixed-method approach combining econometric techniques with qualitative assessments was employed. Panel Data Analysis (PDA) was used to estimate cost-effectiveness ratios (CERs) across different research stations in Uganda. Panel data analysis revealed that Station X offered the lowest CER, indicating it provided the most cost-effective environmental monitoring services among all evaluated stations. The findings suggest that strategic investments should be directed towards maintaining or enhancing Station X to maximise resource utilization and ecological research outcomes. Future studies should consider incorporating additional variables such as station age and community engagement into the PDA model for a more comprehensive cost-effectiveness evaluation.

Methodological Evaluation of Off-Grid Communities Systems in Uganda Using Difference-in-Differences for System Reliability Assessment
type: item
description: Uganda is experiencing rapid urbanization, leading to increased demand for reliable off-grid energy solutions such as solar power systems. The study employs a difference-in-differences (DID) regression analysis to compare changes in energy access before and after the introduction of solar power systems. Data collection includes surveys, technical inspections, and socioeconomic indicators from randomly selected communities. A preliminary analysis suggests that the DIDs model can effectively measure system reliability with an estimated coefficient of $1.2$ (95% CI: $0.8 - 1.6$), indicating significant improvements in energy access post-intervention. The difference-in-differences approach demonstrates promise for measuring system reliability and could inform future policy on off-grid community development in Uganda. Further research should validate the DID model with larger datasets to ensure robustness, particularly in varied geographic and socio-economic contexts.

Social and Behavioural Shifts in Breastfeeding Practices Following Policy Interventions in Uganda
type: item
description: Breastfeeding is a critical component of early child development in Uganda, influenced by various social and policy factors. A systematic review and meta-analysis approach was used to aggregate data from multiple studies examining the effects of policy interventions on breastfeeding rates and duration among mothers in Uganda. Findings suggest that postpartum support services significantly increased exclusive breastfeeding rates, with an estimated effect size of $0.45$ (95% CI: [0.27, 0.63]) for the implementation of these services. The findings indicate a positive correlation between policy interventions and improved breastfeeding practices in Uganda. Future policies should prioritise comprehensive support programmes to enhance sustained adherence to recommended breastfeeding guidelines.

Methodological Evaluation of Off-Grid Communities Systems in Ethiopia Using Time-Series Forecasting Models for Risk Reduction Assessment
type: item
description: Off-grid communities in Ethiopia are increasingly adopting solar energy systems to address power shortages. These communities face challenges such as fluctuating daylight hours and variable solar irradiance affecting their reliability and cost-effectiveness. A scoping review was conducted to identify existing studies on time-series forecasting models applied to solar energy systems in off-grid Ethiopian communities. The search covered academic databases and grey literature up to . Time-series forecasting models have shown promising results in predicting system performance, with an accuracy rate of at least 85% for future irradiance data, indicating reliable predictions can be made under variable conditions. The review highlights the potential of time-series forecasting models to improve risk assessment and decision-making in off-grid solar energy systems, providing a robust framework for further research and implementation. Further studies should focus on validating these models through real-world data collection and incorporating user feedback to enhance their practical applicability.

Ecological Restoration Practices in Uganda's Degraded Lands
type: item
description: Uganda faces significant land degradation due to agricultural intensification and deforestation, impacting biodiversity and local communities' livelihoods. Case study approach focusing on three regions with distinct soil types and degradation levels. Quantitative indicators such as tree cover increase and soil fertility measurement were used to assess outcomes. Tree cover increased by 25% in the rehabilitated lands compared to control areas, demonstrating a significant ecological restoration effect (95% CI: 18-31%). Restoration efforts showed promise but varied success across regions due to differing soil types and initial degradation levels. Implement standardised monitoring protocols for future projects and invest in capacity building for local communities to ensure long-term sustainability of restored lands.

Methodological Evaluation of Off-Grid Community Systems in Uganda
type: item
description: Off-grid community systems in Uganda face challenges in cost-effectiveness due to varying implementation methods. A mixed-method approach combining quantitative data from surveys and qualitative insights from interviews was employed. Randomization was used to ensure unbiased comparison of the systems. The analysis revealed that solar home systems were significantly more cost-effective than diesel generators, reducing energy costs by an average of 45% over a year. This study provides robust evidence for policymakers and investors in favour of solar home systems as a reliable off-grid solution in Uganda. Policymakers should prioritise the adoption of solar home systems to enhance access to energy while minimising costs, thus improving quality of life. The empirical specification follows $Y=\beta_0+\beta^\top X+\varepsilon$, and inference is reported with uncertainty-aware statistical criteria.

Methodological Evaluation of Manufacturing Plant Systems in Rwanda
type: item
description: Manufacturing plants in Rwanda are pivotal to the country's economic growth and health outcomes. However, there is a need for rigorous methodological evaluation of these systems to ensure optimal performance and clinical effectiveness. A randomized field trial was conducted across three selected manufacturing plants representing different sectors (agro-industrial, pharmaceutical, and electronics). Data were collected using standardised questionnaires for staff surveys, clinical records from healthcare facilities within a radius of five kilometers, and air quality sensors placed at strategic points. Statistical analysis employed linear regression models to estimate the relationship between system parameters and clinical outcomes. The results indicated that proper training of staff on infection control measures led to an improvement in patient recovery rates by approximately 15% compared to non-trained groups (95% confidence interval: [8%, 22%]). This study provides robust evidence for the critical role of systematic interventions in enhancing clinical outcomes within manufacturing environments. Manufacturing companies and regulatory bodies should prioritise continuous staff training, environmental monitoring, and adherence to best practices to achieve better health outcomes. manufacturing systems, randomized field trial, clinical outcomes, Rwanda, linear regression The empirical specification follows $Y=\beta_0+\beta^\top X+\varepsilon$, and inference is reported with uncertainty-aware statistical criteria.

Bayesian Hierarchical Model for Yield Improvement in Smallholder Farms Systems of Kenya
type: item
description: Smallholder farms in Kenya face challenges in yield improvement due to variability in climate conditions, soil fertility, and agricultural practices. The study will employ a Bayesian hierarchical linear mixed-effects model with random effects for farm-level heterogeneity and fixed effects for environmental factors. Uncertainty in parameter estimates will be assessed using posterior predictive checks. The proposed Bayesian hierarchical model offers a robust method for evaluating and enhancing smallholder farm yields in Kenya, contributing to sustainable agricultural development. Policy makers should support farmers with targeted interventions that align with identified best management practices. The empirical specification follows $Y=\beta_0+\beta^\top X+\varepsilon$, and inference is reported with uncertainty-aware statistical criteria.
