Political Economy Analysis of sub-national health management in Eastern and Southern Africa
REFNo: SS664ES
This study will explore the dynamics taking place at sub-national level (e.g. within counties or districts) as well as between national and sub-national levels along the following objectives:
1. Analyze the environment for decision-making and implementation of health plans at sub-national level, including existing formal and informal processes for decision-making; political, financial, social, and other influences on sub-national prioritization, decision-making and resource allocation, including relevant changes over time (e.g. post-devolution), and how data and evidence play a role.
2. Identify and characterize key stakeholders with a role in sub-national health management and systems—key characteristics will include technical capacity, their use of data and evidence, the relationships and power dynamics between them, and the existing structures for engagements with non-health sector authorities, both formal and informal.
3. Assess existing formal and informal accountability mechanisms for sub-national decision-making for health (both within the health system and for external stakeholders like beneficiary communities, sub-national decision-makers (county/district), and development partners) with a view to identify ways to improve the relative effectiveness of accountability mechanisms in decision processes.
4. Analyze social sector spending trends and beneficiaries, their relation to health sector policies, and how local governance structures influence them, where available.
5. Develop draft plan for piloting strategies to address challenges identified by the PEA, including proposed implementation and monitoring and evaluation approaches, as appropriate.
6. Analyze the policy environment on community health, including key stakeholders, to identify potential approaches for integrating a new community health extension worker program into existing systems, especially at district level
7. Analyze the current digital health innovations governance and accountability structures, (including key stakeholders across sectors and how their responsibilities and priorities overlap,) to identify strategies for strengthening existing structures, enhancing accountability and minimizing duplication

Improving the Impact of VSLAs on Refugees’ and Host Communities’ Self- reliance, Resilience and Economic Capacity
REFNo: SS658ES
Our main objective is to investigate different facets of the VSLA (structure, benefits, and barriers as well as future opportunities) with the aim of optimizing its design. This is because we hypothesize that optimizing the structure of the VSLA will lead to increased financial inclusion of the group members as well as social capital.

The impact of tax incentives on the realisation of economic and social rights: A focus on tax holidays and the right to basic education in Uganda
REFNo: SS666ES
1. To examine the historical background and justification of tax incentives generally and tax holidays specifically especially in Uganda.
2. To explore the adequacy of the legal and policy framework on tax incentives, especially tax holidays in Uganda and how it impacts revenue for the realisation of ESRs, specifically the right to basic education;
3. To analyse the relationship between government revenue and basic education financing and how it the realisation of the right to basic education.
4. To recommend appropriate legal, policy and administrative reforms for the better management of tax incentives generally and tax holidays specifically for the realisation of Uganda’s international and domestic ESRs obligations, with specific emphasis on the right to basic education.

An International Observational Study to Characterize Adults
Who Are Hospitalized with Influenza or Other Targeted Respiratory Viruses
(INSIGHT Protocol No. 003 version 3.0, dated 27 August 2013); Flu003 PLUS
AND
Genomic Study: INSIGHT Protocol No. 004 version 2.0, dated 27 August 2013 -A substudy of qualifying INSIGHT studies
REFNo: HS1108ES
The objectives of this study for participants with confirmed influenza are to:
1. Characterize individuals who are hospitalized with influenza in terms of demographics, co-morbid conditions, prior influenza vaccination (seasonal, including 2009 H1N1) and pneumococcal vaccination, and use of antivirals, overall and according to influenza type, A or B, and influenza A subtype.
2. Estimate the percent who die and who develop a composite outcome, overall and according to the identified influenza type or subtype: death, a requirement for mechanical ventilation or admission to the intensive care unit (ICU), or prolonged hospitalization following enrollment (duration of hospitalization >28 days) at 60 days after enrollment.
3. Study risk factors, (e.g., patient and viral characteristics, geographic location, influenza type and subtype) for mortality and the composite outcome of death, a requirement for mechanical ventilation or admission to the ICU, or prolonged hospitalization following enrollment (duration of hospitalization >28 days).
4. Establish a repository of oropharyngeal, nasal and lower airway samples to determine a laboratory diagnosis; to molecularly characterize the virus, including subtype, antigenic and genetic analyses; to identify known signature mutations for antiviral drug resistance, mutational evolution, and additional re-assortment; and assess possible co-pathogens.
5. In a subset of patients requiring mechanical ventilation, to collect paired upper and lower airway samples to molecularly characterize the virus according to anatomic location, assess the potential emergence of antiviral resistance and assess possible co-pathogens.
6. Establish a repository of serum and plasma for future studies, including measurement of biomarkers that predict disease severity and measures of host response to infection with influenza virus.
7. Compare the characteristics and outcomes of patients infected with different influenza virus types and subtypes, including 2009 H1N1 virus, over time and by geographic region.
8. Identify and characterize other viral and bacterial pathogens, including coinfections.
The objectives of this study for participants with targeted non-influenza viral respiratory infections are to:
1. At enrollment, characterize individuals who are hospitalized with a targeted viral respiratory disease in terms of possible source of infection and mode of transmission, demographics and co-morbid conditions.
2. At 28 and 60 days of follow-up, estimate the percent who die, require admission to the ICU, have prolonged hospitalization, or recover.
3. Establish a repository of prospectively collected serum, plasma and respiratory tract specimens for future studies, including measurement of biomarkers that predict disease severity and measures of host immune response to infection.
