Landslides, especially in mountainous regions, pose a serious threat to schools and learners, though these threats have often been neglected. This paper presents the findings of a study on monitoring school exposure to landslide hazards and assessing preparedness in the Mount Elgon area of Uganda. A total of 73 schools were mapped and a survey administered 152 face-to-face interviews with teachers using semi-structured questionnaires. Qualitative…

Resilience of persons with disabilities to climate induced landslide hazards in the vulnerable areas of Mount Elgon, Uganda
Urban Refugees’ Digital Experiences and Social Connections During Covid-19 Response in Kampala, Uganda
The Covid-19 crisis and its aftermath challenged economies and societal sectors globally.

In Uganda, refugees significantly compose the marginalized urban population, dependent largely on the informal sector, and are severely affected by the crisis amidst limited social protection interventions. This article draws on key informant …

Adverse impacts on persons with disabilities occur disproportionately during landslide hazards in a rugged landscape. Coping with climate-induced hazards to boost disaster resilience among persons with disabilities is directly influenced by the deepseated power relations in society. The study explored coping mechanisms and assessed their perceived effectiveness in boosting resilience of persons with disabilities in the Ugandan fragile ecosystem. …
