    • Uganda Business Climate IndexThe Uganda Business Climate Index (BCI) reflects the perceptions of Ugandan business executives on the current and expected business economic conditions. The BCI is intended to be an indicator of economic activity, to supplement official statistics. The BCI is a composite perception index based on the following indicators: level of business activity, turnover, profitability, incoming new business, capacity utilization, average costs for inputs, prices of produced goods, new orders for goods, business optimism, and number of employees. The Index is interpreted as follows: a negative value indicates deterioration and a positive value indicates improvement in the general business conditions.

  • Data Tracking Mechanism
Overview

This 15 months project seeks to increase policy debates and evidence uptake for the enhancement of productive and decent jobs along selected agro-industrialization (AGI) value chains in Uganda. The project is implemented under the African Policy Dialogues (APD), a network of policy actors initiated by the INCLUDE Platform to encourage the use of existing and new knowledge in policy making in Africa.

Purpose

The project seeks to generate and share evidence on opportunities, sources of productive and decent employment, and effective strategies to promote job creation along the strategic agro-industrialization (AGI) value chains in Uganda. It also seeks to establish if immigrant labourers who return from abroad can easily be absorbed into AGI value chains, using the skills and transferring the know-how they have attained. The evidence generated will be used to inform and guide the revision of the 2011 National Employment Policy.

Project Objectives
  • To influence policies and policy processes related to productive and decent employment for youth and women along AGI value chains
  • To promote and create awareness on the use of the AGI value chain approach as a means of creating productive and decent jobs
  • To generate evidence on the externalization of labour to understand the implications of labour externalization on the AGI value chain agenda
Project Approach
  • Evidence generation and knowledge brokering
  • Policy engagement, communication and outreach
  • Networking and alliance building
  • Capacity building and Technical support
Target Audiences

Primary audiences: Government ministries, departments and agencies (MDAs);

Other audiences: Private sector; civil society; development partners; and Dutch Embassy in Uganda

Project Activities

The following are some of the activities to be implemented by the project:

  • Undertaking systematic review on work and income for women and youth in Uganda to identify evidence gaps along the AGI value chains
  • Undertaking a systematic review of the ecosystem of labour externalisation (availability of data, sources and quality)
  • Conducting a diagnostic exercise to establish the major factors and stakeholders influencing the uptake and use of research evidence in policy decisions in the strategic value chains
  • Production of communication and engagement products to capture the attention of, and inform relevant strategic AGI value chain stakeholders
  • Convening and/or participating in targeted meetings with policy makers, private sector, CSOs, parliamentarians, and relevant technical sector working committees, among others
  • Establishing and facilitating a Community of Practice on productive and decent work for youth and women
