Evidence snapshot for Kampala
SASA! Community Mobilisation Programme against Intimate Partner Violence — Uganda was developed and tested in Kampala through a cluster RCT (2007–2012) that found 52% lower past-year physical intimate partner violence in intervention communities. AirQo — Makerere University's Low-Cost Air-Quality Sensor Network for African Cities has deployed over 200 air-quality sensors across Kampala and three other African cities, documenting monthly PM2.5 concentrations of 60–100 µg/m³—several times WHO guideline levels—with data backing peer-reviewed pollution research. Both initiatives demonstrate Kampala's role as a hub for evidence-based development interventions in gender-based violence prevention and environmental monitoring, though the practices do not provide broader quantified data on Kampala's overall development outcomes or implementation scale beyond these specific programmes.
