Mixed-Methods Experimental Evidence from Northern Uganda by Marjorie Chinen, Andrea Coombes, Thomas De Hoop, Rosa Castro-Zarzur, and Mohammed Elmeski In this episode, we talk with Marjorie Chinen and Andrea Coombes about their work on a first-of-its-kind randomized controlled trial of a teacher training program in Karamoja, Uganda. Rising from the ethnic- and gender-based violence of the Lord’s Resistance Army insurgency, peacebuilding in Karamoja requires new attitudes toward gender socialization, and evidence from the RCT suggests training can help teachers make progress.
