From Infestation to Recovery: Evaluating Changes in Livelihoods and Fishing Productivity Following the Biocontrol of Kariba Weed Along Kyoga Basin Lakes and Kibimba Dam

open access: yesAquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 6, Issue 2, April 2026.
ABSTRACT The invasive kariba weed (Salvinia molesta) has severely degraded aquatic ecosystems in Uganda's Kyoga basin lakes and Kibimba Dam, disrupting fisheries, navigation and community livelihoods. Between 2017 and 2021, the National Agricultural Research Organisation implemented a biological control program using the host‐specific weevil ...

The Monetary Policy–Commodities Nexus: A Survey

open access: yesJournal of Economic Surveys, Volume 40, Issue 2, Page 1050-1082, April 2026.
ABSTRACT This survey synthesizes evidence on the bidirectional links between commodity markets and monetary policy. On the commodities‐to‐policy side, we review how shocks to energy, food, and metals pass through to inflation, inflation expectations, economic activity, and financial stability in state‐dependent ways that vary by shock type, exposure ...
