    • 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.

FAO: In-depth study on child labour in the livestock sector among pastoral communities: A case study of Karamoja sub-region in North Eastern Uganda

There is limited evidence on the status of children working in the agriculture and more especially livestock in Uganda in terms of preference, extent, causes, and effected in the context of pastoral communities.

  • The study seeks to understand the situational analysis of the children working in the livestock sector with the focus on pastoral communities in Karamoja sub-region. The analysis will provide insights on prevalence, extent, causes and effect of child labour.
  • Identify the policy gaps, if any, and
  • Provide feasible recommendations on possible effective interventions for prevention, and protection measures on child labour at both policy and service delivery levels.
