Abstract

Transport maintenance depots (TMDs) play a crucial role in ensuring efficient transportation systems in Uganda's agricultural sector. A multilevel logistic regression model was employed to analyse data collected from 100 depots across Uganda. Dependent variable: Adoption rate (yes/no). Independent variables: Funding, training availability, infrastructure quality. The multilevel logistic regression revealed that funding and infrastructure quality had significant positive effects on adoption rates, with a model coefficient for funding of 0.45 (95% CI: [0.23, 0.67]). This study provides insights into the factors driving TMD adoption in Uganda. Investment strategies should prioritise allocation of funds and improvement of infrastructure to enhance TMD effectiveness.
