On behalf of the Partnership for African Social & Governance Research (PASGR), CEGER is delivering field data collection for the Uganda leg of the African Youth Pathways to Dignified and Fulfilling Work and Systems Change (AYPReS) programme — a Mastercard Foundation–funded study spanning ten African countries. The research examines how young people aged 15–35 navigate pathways to dignified and fulfilling work, with deliberate focus on refugees and internally displaced persons, persons with disabilities, rural young women, and youth working in the informal economy, alongside a general-youth comparison group.
The study uses a concurrent mixed-methods design: a digital quantitative survey administered on SurveyCTO, complemented by in-depth interviews, key-informant interviews, focus group discussions, and participatory visual methods. CEGER is responsible for recruiting and training the field enumerator team, arranging field logistics, administering the instrument, and owning field-level data quality, reporting to the Country Principal Investigator team and the PASGR monitoring team. Fieldwork runs across Kampala, Wakiso, and assigned enumeration areas in 2026.
