A 7-year universal basic income project in Welle, Uganda, released preliminary results in 2023 after the first 2.5 years. In a village of 350 people, everyone (adult + child) is receiving the same amount (€15/mo).

Extreme poverty has decreased from 55% to 10%.

The universal basic income project started in August 2020 in the village of Welle, Uganda, in cooperation with the Ugandan NGO AFARD. The village then had 350 inhabitants, more than half of whom lived in extreme poverty. For the past three years, INclusion gave all the inhabitants of Welle - adults and children - 15 euros per month, without conditions. Such a partial basic income is called an unconditional cash transfer (UCT) in discussion of development cooperation and aid. Concrete findings A "baseline measurement" was conducted before the project began, and in December 2022 residents were interviewed again so that it could be assessed what had changed after 2.5 years. The just-released research report was written by Lisa van Dongen, PhD candidate at the Faculty of Economics Some of Van Dongen, Lensink and Mueller’s concrete findings are: extreme poverty has decreased from 55% to 10% food security increased significantly, as did access to clean drinking water elementary school participation increased from 70% to 87% there was 75% less dropout from work and school due to illness many residents built new, more sustainable homes residents also invested in land for agriculture the percentage of households owning cattle increased from 9% to 49% ownership of solar panels increased from 19% to 74% Given all these positive changes, it is not surprising that the residents also told the interviewers that their stress has greatly decreased - such as daily worries about food and medicine - and that they are now more optimistic about their future
