    • 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.

Enhancing climate resilience among households in Uganda: what matters? STAARS FELLOWSHIP MSU

The study intends to contribute to the literature and policy development process by building Climate change resilience index based on resistance to real shocks (particularly drought) faced by households in Uganda.

The study is premised on the fact that only those households that experienced shocks create appropriate context for measuring resilience. This approach enables the team to test whether the factors used to build resilience index ex-ante approach (by previous studies) indeed matter.

This will be achieved by exploring drivers of resilience among households in Uganda (based on constructed index) in a panel data index.

Objectives;
  • Determine extent to which agriculture households are vulnerable to drought.
  • Examine the extent to which agricultural households are resilient to drought.
  • Examine gender differences in terms of resilience to drought.
  • Examine what determines household resilience to drought in Uganda.
  • Explore link between resilience to drought and food security.

The study involves two step analysis. (1) Construction and analysis of the Climate Change resilience index using factor analysis based on drought. Drought is the common climate shock experienced by agricultural households in Uganda.

The step will involve the estimation of the linear regression models to determine what drives resilience to climate change, and to examine whether resilience to climate shocks (particularly drought) enhances food security.
