A Difference-in-Differences approach will be employed, leveraging pre- and post-intervention data from selected communities. Statistical analysis will include robust standard errors for inference. The DiD model reveals that solar power systems have reduced energy costs by approximately 40% in the evaluated off-grid communities. The study concludes that off-grid solar power is cost-effective and beneficial for reducing energy expenses in Ghanaian communities, offering a viable alternative to grid electricity. Policy makers should consider incentivizing the adoption of off-grid solar systems through subsidies or other financial mechanisms to further enhance their impact. The empirical specification follows $Y=\beta_0+\beta^\top X+\varepsilon$, and inference is reported with uncertainty-aware statistical criteria.

Eco-Paving in Urban Slums
type: item
description: Urban slums in Kampala, Uganda face challenges related to infrastructure development, particularly regarding sustainable paving materials that can mitigate environmental degradation and enhance community resilience. The study employed participant observation, semi-structured interviews, and focus group discussions to gather data from local residents, community leaders, and construction professionals. Data analysis was conducted using thematic coding methods. Participants reported a preference for eco-paving materials over traditional ones, with 60% of respondents indicating an increased willingness to pay for sustainable options due to perceived environmental benefits and improved quality of life. The study underscores the potential for community-led initiatives in promoting sustainable urban development through the adoption of eco-friendly paving materials. However, economic constraints remain a significant barrier to widespread implementation. Local governments should incentivize the use of eco-paving materials through subsidies and public-private partnerships, while stakeholders must collaborate on education campaigns to address cost concerns among residents. 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 Uganda
type: item
description: Regional monitoring networks have been implemented in Uganda to enhance energy sector governance and risk management. These systems aim to provide real-time data on various aspects of the energy sector, including power generation, transmission, distribution, and consumption. A time-series forecasting model will be employed, incorporating historical data on energy sector performance to forecast future trends. Monte Carlo simulations will be used to quantify uncertainties associated with these forecasts, providing robust standard errors for each prediction. This study demonstrates the potential of time-series forecasting models for enhancing regional monitoring systems in Uganda's energy sector, offering a more precise and actionable approach to risk reduction. Based on this theoretical framework, recommendations include refining network coverage, integrating advanced analytics tools, and fostering collaboration between stakeholders to maximise the benefits of these networks. The empirical specification follows $Y=\beta_0+\beta^\top X+\varepsilon$, and inference is reported with uncertainty-aware statistical criteria.
