Social Policy Outlook: Formulate a social policy outlook based on the political economy and fiscal space analyses. The output is expected to be 8-12 pages and provide the overarching conclusions and key actionable policy recommendations drawing on the findings from the two separate analysis. The political economy and fiscal space analyses, as well as the economic outlook, are to be copy-edited.
This will provide a deepened understanding on the situation of children in Uganda as well as the wider social policy – political economy as well as the fiscal context. The analysis is expected to provide new evidence and clear actionable policy recommendations to improve the well-being of children particularly the most vulnerable and their families, whilst identifying opportunities to strengthen social protection services and access to basic social services in Uganda.
