The Challenge Initiatives Approach to City engagement – Coaching case study
REFNo: SS645ES
This study is meant to explore the successes, challenges and innovations of The Challenge Initiative’s (TCI) coaching model
Specific objectives
1. Document the intensity and focus of TCI coaching to-date, including which high-impact approaches governments most commonly request coaching for, how often, and what their impact has been.
2. Explore how local governments and service providers perceive the TCI coaching model, including, whether they believe it has been beneficial, and if so, how.
3. Understand if TCI’s coaching has led to system strengthening and improvements in the healthcare system both related to family planning and AYSRH service delivery, but also beyond. Additionally, document which system strengthening elements of coaching are most notable to TCI beneficiaries.
4. Document the ways in which TCI’s coaching has worked well and, perhaps, not worked as planned. Use this information to develop recommendations for how TCI can strengthen its coaching model.
5. Understand how the TCI coaching model can be sustained by TCI supported geographies even after a city ‘graduates’ from TCI (i.e., achieves program success and certain milestones, indicating the city no longer needs TCI’s support)

Small and Growing Businesses: A Segmentation Study in Uganda and Nigeria
REFNo: SS647ES
The purpose of the study is to test Dalberg’s segmentation framework of small and growing businesses (SGBs) by determining the effectiveness of that framework. By testing the framework, “maps” shall be created, funding gaps shall be established and recommendations made for the two African countries (Uganda and Nigeria).
The study will be guided by the following objectives;
a) To determine the extent to which the Dalberg framework defines SGBs in Uganda and Nigeria.
b) To establish the reasons why SGBs seek financing in their operations and the challenges in accessing funding.
c) To identify organisations that invest in SGBs and establish the proportion of their portfolio dedicated to SGBs.
d) To establish the total capital available in funding organisations to SGBs.
e) To establish the challenges of investing in SGBs.

Impact of housing modifications combined with piperonyl butoxide (PBO) long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs) on the malaria burden in Uganda: a cluster-randomised trial
REFNo: HS1072ES
Primary Objective;
To evaluate the effect of housing modifications plus PBO LLINs, compared to PBO LLINs alone, on the incidence of clinical malaria in Ugandan children aged < 60 months
Secondary Objectives;
1) Epidemiology: To assess the impact of housing modifications + PBO LLINs, compared to PBO LLINs alone, on (1) parasite prevalence, and (2) prevalence of anaemia in children 6m-14y
2) Entomology: To assess the impact of housing modifications + PBO LLINs, compared to PBO LLINs alone, on (1) indoor and outdoor densities of malaria vectors; (2) entomological inoculation rate (EIR); (3) human biting rates (indoor and outdoor); and (4) To evaluate the patterns of insecticide resistance through the phenotypic and molecular detection methods, in mosquito vectors from clusters with housing modification + PBO LLINs, compared to PBO LLINs alone
3) Housing modifications: (1) To understand the local context regarding housing; (2) To assess acceptability of the housing modification interventions quantitatively, among the cohort members and the community, over time; (3) To assess acceptability of the housing modification interventions through qualitative research among the community opinion leaders and members, in both intervention and control clusters, over time; (4) To assess durability of housing modification interventions; (5) To assess environmental measures in houses with modifications + PBO LLINs; (6) To assess feasibility of housing modification including labour and materials, maintenance requirements, time required; (7) To conduct a process evaluation of the interventions, by developing a logic model, assessing the implementation of the housing modifications, and examining the mechanisms of effect
4) Economics: (1) To measure cost-effectiveness of housing modifications + PBO LLINs, compared to PBO LLINs alone, under research conditions; (2) To cost the different components of the interventions and identify factors contributing to major costs; (3) To estimate potential cost of providing housing interventions at scale over longer periods of time.

REDUCING STROKE BURDEN IN UGANDA USING TARGETED MANAGEMENT INTERVENTION (TEAM). A RANDOMISED, PROSPECTIVE 6 – MONTH CONTROLLED TRIAL.
REFNo: HS1094ES
Objective 1: To refine the TEAM curriculum for optimal acceptability and integration in the Ugandan setting guided by input from stakeholders (patients/family, clinicians, administrators).
Objective 2: To conduct an RCT comparing efficacy of TEAM vs. enhanced treatment as usual (ETAU) in 246 Ugandans (TEAM, N= 123; ETAU, N= 123) at high risk for stroke.
Objective 3: Identify barriers and facilitators to TEAM implementation.
