Research on the Relevance and Effectiveness of Agricultural Extension Services to the Gender Differentiated Activities and Needs of smallholder farmers, 1998/99
The goal of the study was to establish the status of extension service provision in Uganda. The study was undertaken in the districts of Apac, Mukono, Kabale, Hoima and Tororo. The study highlighted important aspects explaining why extension services were ineffective, in spite of the national resources that were allocated to promote transformation in the agricultural sector. The study also recommended an urgent need for extension services to ensure that the Plan for Modernization of Agriculture (PMA) is effective.

CEEWA-U (1999) Baseline survey on MFI lending methodologies, institutional sustainability and clients' needs
The study was done to assess the extent to which Micro Finance Institutions, their methodologies and products are able to become financially sustainable while meeting clients' needs. The findings were that MFIs depend on donor grant funding, which has encouraged them to adopt micro -finance best practices in order to compete for funding.
The study further revealed the need to recognise the importance of clients' needs especially of acquiring meaningful assets.
Gender and Economic Decision Making: Needs Assessment of Policy Makers - 1998
The overall objective of the study was to promote economic gender analysis orientation for female/male leaders in an effort to build capacity for integrating gender concerns into decision making. The study was carried out from seven institutions basing on their relative importance in economic decision-making in Uganda. One of the needs that were expressed was skill and or tool on 'how-to' apply gender analysis in the day-to-day policy and programme activities. As a result, CEEWA-U developed a gender sensitisation manual, which has been successfully tested at both the National and District levels.
