{"product_id":"livelihoods-at-crossroads-von-peter-kasaija","title":"LIVELIHOODS AT CROSSROADS","description":"\u003cp\u003eInformal transport modes such as Kampala''s boda-boda  motorcycle axis have become a common fixture in much  of the developing world. With them has arisen a  whole new set of challenges. Their role in  aggravating traffic congestion, pollution, traffic  accidents, conflicts and urban crime is well- documented.   Readily available and accessible especially for the  city''s increasingly transit-dependent population,  they have become an indispensable asset. The boda- boda taxis have helped to provide jobs for the  unemployed, in addition to improving access and  mobility in areas devoid of service coverage by  other public transport modes. Little or almost no  attention is given to the fact that the number of  livelihoods at stake is immense. This study was  carried out in an attempt to bring to the fore this  neglected aspect, in a bid to engender alternative  interventions and strategies to safeguard the  vulnerable livelihoods of all those entirely  dependant on this mode of transport for survival.    The study should provide a useful platform for  various development practioners on how to approach  some of the most complex issues currently facing the  global-south.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"aw-variant-hidden-subtitle-div\" id=\"aw-variant-subtitle-9783843371988\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eKAMPALA'S BODA-BODA MOTORCYCLE TAXI OPERATORS\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Autorenwelt Shop","offers":[{"title":"Softcover - 9783843371988","offer_id":39470048641117,"sku":"9783843371988","price":49.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0622\/files\/d241a823-0b99-4ac9-9491-cf2734b59963.jpg?v=1737441453","url":"https:\/\/shop.autorenwelt.de\/en\/products\/livelihoods-at-crossroads-von-peter-kasaija","provider":"Autorenwelt Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
