    • 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.

Food security policy research capacity and influence

(PRCI): Harnessing inclusive rural transformation from sugarcane growing in Uganda.

This study analyses how the existing sugarcane institutional arrangements contribute to sustainable and inclusive rural transformation.

It will also analyze how existing arrangements coordinating cane production and processing enhance or hinder smallholder cane growers’ productivity and profitability and in turn their food security.

This points to the need for empirical evidence to be generated and lessons drawn to guide policy on which institutional arrangement will lead to inclusive rural transformation while fostering food security and good nutrition.

The study will also explore the specific strategies that need to be put in place to ensure that women play a visible role in the building of a strong production base for sugarcane which in turn will lead to sustainable livelihood.

The paper seeks to use descriptive, qualitative and empirical assessment of smallholder farmer out grower models in Uganda and in the major three sugarcane production regions (eastern, northern and western).
