The case of Uganda
Publication évaluée par des pairsDocuments de politique et mémoiresdécembre, 2008Afrique orientale, Afrique sub-saharienne, Afrique, OugandaAgriculture is vital to the economies of Sub-Saharan Africa: two-thirds of the region’s people depend on it for their livelihoods. Nevertheless, agricultural productivity in most of the region is stagnant or declining, in large part because of land degradation. Soil erosion and soil nutrient depletion degraded almost 70 percent of the region’s land between 1945 and 1990; 20 percent of total agricultural land has been severely degraded. If left unchecked, land degradation could seriously threaten the progress of economic growth and poverty reduction in Africa.

Documents de politique et mémoiresdécembre, 2013Caraïbes, Afrique septentrionale, Afrique orientale, Asie orientale, Asie méridionale, Europe orientale, Afrique australe, Afrique sub-saharienne, Afrique, AsieThe 2013 Global Hunger Index (GHI) report-the eighth in an annual series- presents a multidimensional measure of national, regional, and global hunger. It shows that the world has made some progress in reducing hunger since 1990, but still has far to go. The 2013 GHI report focuses on resilience in theory and in practice. The relief and development communities have long struggled to understand why some people fare better than others when confronting stresses or shocks.

Documents de politique et mémoiresdécembre, 2018Afrique orientale, Afrique sub-saharienne, Afrique, OugandaPrograms that seek to increase women’s participation in marketing activities related to the principal household economic activity must involve men if they are to be successful. In this paper we analyze take-up of a project that sought to increase women’s involvement in sugarcane marketing and sales by encouraging the registration of a sugarcane block contract in the wife’s name. We find that men who are more educated and live in households with higher wealth and expenditures are more likely to agree to the registration.

Documents de politique et mémoiresdécembre, 2018Afrique australe, Afrique occidentale, Afrique sub-saharienne, Asie méridionale, Asie, Afrique, Bangladesh, Ghana, ZambieAs climate change makes precipitation shocks more common, policymakers are becoming increasingly interested in protecting food systems and nutrition outcomes from the damaging effects of droughts and floods (Wheeler and von Braun, 2013). Increasing the resilience of nutrition and food security outcomes is especially critical throughout agrarian parts of the developing world, where human subsistence and well-being are directly affected by local rainfall.

Documents de politique et mémoiresdécembre, 2018Afrique orientale, Afrique sub-saharienne, Afrique, ÉthiopieAgricultural GDP in Ethiopia grew at an average 7.3 percent per year between 2001/02 and 2012/13. Most of this dynamism occurred in the highlands, where high population density and land scarcity begs the question of how future agricultural output can be maintained to sustain the previous decade’s momentum. This paper uses a spatial regression approach to calculate the maximum crop area potential of each kebele in Ethiopia. We find that although the highlands have a greater potential for cropped area, there is little room to expand.
