What could explain low uptake of rural electricity programs in Africa? Empirical evidence from rural Tanzania
Increasing electricity access remains a challenge, particularly in rural areas of sub-Saharan Africa. This study examines the case of Tanzania, where connection rates remain low even among rural households residing ‘under the grid’, and this despite substantial government subsidies for household connections. Using data from 1,774 rural households living within reach of the electricity grid, we investigate correlates of the low grid electricity up…
Efficiency in Uganda’s seed potato systems
Purpose This paper aims to examine the level of economic efficiency and factors that influence economic efficiency among seed potato producers in South-western Uganda. Design/methodology/approach The paper analyses the economic efficiency of 499 informal and 137 formal seed producers using primary data collected through a structured questionnaire. A multi-stage sampling technique was used to select the study sites and specific farmers. A one-step…
The Relationship Between Public Debt and Economic Growth in Tanzania
This study examines the dynamic relationship between public debt and economic growth in Tanzania, focusing on causal links between the two variables and exploring potential debt thresholds. Using quarterly time series data from March 2005 to June 2022, we employ individual unit root and Johansen’s cointegration tests to establish long-term relationships. We estimate the Vector Error Correction Model and conduct the Granger causality test. The Thr…
Does Charco-Dam Technology Affect Production Efficiencies? Evidence from Small-Scale Vegetable Farmers in Nzega District, Tanzania
Water for irrigation is an essential and primary factor influencing crop productivity. However, there is limited information on how availability of irrigation water guarantees efficient use of inputs in farm production, especially for the rainwater harvesting technologies managed at household level. This study employed survey method to collect data from 528 small scale vegetable farmers, randomly selected from 5 wards and 5 villages, among the fa…
Household welfare perspective of family planning utilization in Uganda
The rationale for FP use has changed over time to progressively emphasize poverty reduction and welfare improvements. However, literature hasn’t largely matched this change. This study, therefore, sought to contribute to this knowledge gap by exploring the impact of FP on household welfare using consumption per adult equivalent as the measure of household welfare. Data from the Uganda National Panel Survey 2018/19 and 2019/20 waves was used, and …
Fisheries performance in Africa: An analysis based on data from 14 countries
Household’s Choice of Healthcare Provider in Kenya
People respond in different manners to various injuries or illnesses. Factors that influence response to illness or injuries are usually categorized into enabling factors, predisposing factors and perceived factors. These responses are self-treatment, seeking healthcare services from professional healthcare providers (private, public and mission healthcare facilities), seeking treatment from traditional healers and not seeking treatment at all. D…
