Senior Research Associate
Mr. Kayabwe holds a masters degree in Public Policy and Administration (major: development economics) obtained from the University of Wisconsin – Madison, USA and a first degree in Economics and Rural Economy obtained from Makerere University, Kampala-Uganda.  Over the past two and a half decades, he has fully developed a social science research-focused career path entailing initiation/conception and implementation of projects related to problems of society, for both academic and policy formulation purposes.

Specifically, his areas of research interest are largely, but not exclusively, skewed towards: (i) pastoral land tenure and resource use issues; (ii) rural development & poverty analysis; (iii) food security and livelihood systems; and (iv) governance issues related to displacement, migration, and resettlement dynamics.  In pursuit of these core research areas of interest, he applies both quantitative and qualitative methods depending on the nature of the problem under investigation.  In some cases, such research projects are longitudinal in nature involving a research process that establishes (before implementation) baseline indices, followed by (during implementation) formative evaluations, mid-term and (terminal) summative evaluations
