COVID-19 response in the context of the Kamwenge Graduation Study, Uganda

In response to the COVID pandemic, researchers propose to collect phone survey data from participants of an on-going USAID-funded “Graduation” study with refugees and neighboring communities of the Kamwenge refugee settlement in Western Uganda. The on-going study tests how graduation style interventions can help participants in a post-conflict setting of a refugee settlement improve food and nutrition security and self-reliance. The additional data will allow them to document to what extent the interventions help participants cope with extreme economy-wide shocks.
