Impact of Father Involvement and Positive Parenting on Child Mental Health
The influence of father positive parenting and involvement on children's mental health outcomes is underexplored in many sub-Saharan African countries, such as Uganda, despite research showing that fathers play a critical role in shaping their children's mental and emotional health outcomes. Most research on father involvement in parenting has been conducted in high-income countries in Western countries, and most research from Africa relies on mo…
Culturally Informed Parenting Assessment
While parenting practices significantly influence children's developmental outcomes on a global scale, there has been limited comprehensive assessment of the cultural appropriateness of global parenting questionnaires in diverse cultural contexts by researchers. This study examined the cultural relevance of the widely used measure of parenting, the Alabama Parenting Questionnaire (APQ) among the Runyankole‐speaking community in Uganda. Using a se…
Engaged Scholarship through Community Social Labs
The indigenisation of social work education in Africa is a response to the limitations of Western-centric approaches to addressing complex local social issues. This paper explores the role of engaged scholarship and community social labs in indigenising social work education in Uganda. The study analyses data from four focus group discussions, and student WhatsApp conversations, to examine how these approaches facilitate meaningful community enga…
Representation, Voice and Empowerment
As part of the wider global effort to ‘liberate’ women from historically and culturally rooted social injustices, Uganda in 1997 enacted a law in which one-third of every local government (LG) council is reserved for female representatives. This move increased the number of elected female representatives in LG councils and promised to eliminate the hitherto male-dominated spaces of decision-making. Given its two decades of implementation, we exam…
Shifting Interorganizational Relations and the Covid-19 Pandemic as External Shock
Applying the concepts of organizational field, capital, and habitus by Pierre Bourdieu, this study critically examines the (re)configuring of relations between grassroots and mainstream organizations during the COVID-19 pandemic. Specifically, we examined refugee-led organizations (RLOs), via fieldwork and interviews, in one US city from the summer of 2020 during the peak of the pandemic through 2022. We argue for conceptualizing the pandemic as …
How Inclusive are the Local Economic Impacts of Social Protection in Uganda
Inclusive growth and development are essential for the sustainability of poverty reduction and growth. Social protection has been promoted as part of the inclusive growth and development agenda by emphasising the positive impacts of social transfers on people’s participation in economic processes. However, the focus on the positive economic impacts of social transfers has led to the neglect of concerns regarding inequality of opportunity. Taking …
Pushing the Limits of Child Participation in Research
Background: Violence against children (VAC) in Uganda is recognized as an urgent dilemma; however, most research has been quantitatively oriented and has seldom involved children in the research process. Objective: We discuss what we learned about child participation in the research process as a means of informing ethical praxis in future child- and youth-led research initiatives. As an overarching aim of this paper, we utilize our engagement wit…
Escaping poverty and becoming poor in 36 villages of Central and Western Uganda
Twenty-four per cent of households in 36 village communities of Central and Western Uganda have escaped from poverty over the past 25 years, but another 15 per cent have simultaneously fallen into poverty. A roughly equal number of households escaped from poverty in the first period (ten to 25 years ago) as in the second period (the last ten years) examined here. However, almost twice as many households fell into poverty during the second period …
