“…Agricultural energy use in SSA is very low compared to energy consumption for similar uses in developed economies. In Uganda, an estimate of only 10 TJ (Terajoules, TJ equals 10 12 J) of electricity was used for agriculture (mostly for large-scale irrigation) in 2012 based on UN energy balance statistics (UNSD, 2012 Mmadu & Akan (2013) in their analysis of the socio-economic impact of fuel subsidies in Nigeria, using econometric modelling and household survey data. Therefore further research is required to establish the limits these energy related trade-offs could place on increasing the performance of SSA's food systems.…”

Food Security continues to be elusive in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), several decades after the first World Food Summit in 1974. The causes of food insecurity in Sub-Saharan Africa include among others; poverty, economic constraints, agricultural and agronomical challenges, rapid population growth, and the effects of adverse climate change. These causes however, are linked to complex interactions, constraints and dependencies amongst the key physical resources in food systems, namely-Water, Land, Energy and Soil Nutrients (WLEN). There is limited insight on the combined impacts of the resource nexus, and how this may constrain the performance of food systems in Sub-Saharan Africa. This understanding is essential if the food challenges in the region are to be tackled sustainably. This study provides a detailed analysis of the Uganda's 2012 WLEN nexus resources vis-àvis the country's current and potential food demand using calorific-demand analysis and source-to-service resource transformation modelling. The analysis determines estimates of the current resource stresses within Uganda's insufficient food system and the interconnected resource implications for the achievement of food security by 2050. The results are visualised using Sankey diagrams. The inferences highlight evident limits across all four resources. Overall, the analysis helps to inform food security policy and the resource context for the present and future management of Uganda's food system.

This paper draws from qualitative data to examine the opacity of Nigeria’s downstream oil sector within the ambit of its fuel subsidy policy. It specifically addresses whether the poor state of Nigeria’s refineries is linked to the prebendal benefits associated with the administration of fuel subsidies as well as the correlation between the opacity of Nigeria’s downstream oil sector and fuel subsidy. Furthermore, the paper interrogates how fuel importation could be considered a rational option to address domestic needs for refined petroleum products. The paper offers two major interrelated insights: First, it finds that fuel subsidy nurtures the propensity for sabotage, corruption, and money laundering; there tends to be a link between fuel subsidy and the non-functionality of Nigeria’s state-owned refineries, and second, the pro-poor justifications for sustaining fuel subsidy is a proxy for continued elite enrichment through the manipulation of the subsidy regime. Overall, the paper highlights the imperative of rethinking the fuel subsidy architecture by rebuilding Nigeria’s downstream oil sector, especially the domestic capacity for refining crude oil.
