Replication dataset for the publication, “Information exchange links, knowledge exposure, and adoption of agricultural technologies in northern Uganda” (2017-05-01)


Shikuku, Kelvin Mashisia[Replication Data for: Information exchange links, knowledge exposure, and adoption of agricultural technologies in northern Uganda]Replication Data for: Information exchange links, knowledge exposure, and adoption of agricultural technologies in northern Uganda

Research-based evidence on the adoption of climate-smart agricultural practices is vital to their effective uptake, continued use and wider diffusion. In addition, an enabling policy environment at the national and regional levels is necessary for this evidence to be used effectively. This chapte...

We present results of a randomized evaluation that assesses the effects of different incentives for diffusion of agricultural knowledge by smallholders in northern Uganda. Randomly-selected disseminating farmers (DFs) from a large sample of villages are assigned to one of three experimental arms:...

Seventy percent of all economic losses in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) are solely attributed to droughts and floods. A considerable challenge for policy in SSA, therefore, relates to identifying and promoting options that could address climatic shocks. Climate-smart agriculture (CSA)—an approach seek...
