Evidence snapshot for Uganda
Uganda has implemented several evidence-backed programmes addressing social, digital and environmental challenges. SASA! Community Mobilisation Programme achieved a 52% reduction in past-year physical intimate partner violence in intervention communities through community activism, while ICT4PWD Programme trained 1,010 people with disabilities across 28 districts with a 96.1% completion rate. Digital inclusion efforts have expanded rural access via solar-powered tablets distributed to 10,706 households across 54 districts, with a third reporting daily internet use. AirQo's sensor network documents air pollution in Kampala at 60–100 µg/m³ monthly PM2.5 concentrations — several times WHO guideline levels — using over 200 low-cost monitors.
