QSA Q&A Understanding Uganda: Projects in Perspective

Join QSA intern Serra Yao for a conversation about her research into country profiles for QSA’s current projects. What does it mean to understand a development project in context?

Drawing on QSA’s work with St Jude Family Projects in Uganda, this Q&A session explores the wider socioeconomic forces shaping people’s lives. It discusses how gender equality, disability, public health, and displacement affect communities and their livelihoods. It also reflects on why country-level analysis matters and how it can help QSA make more informed decisions about partnership strategies and international development.
