IMPACT OF SYSTEMATIC EARLY TUBERCULOSIS DETECTION USING XPERT MTB/RIF ULTRA IN CHILDREN WITH SEVERE PNEUMONIA IN HIGH TUBERCULOSIS BURDEN COUNTRIES
REFNo: HS331ES
To evaluate the impact on all-cause mortality at 12 weeks of adding systematic early detection of TB with Xpert MTB/RIF Ultra performed on one NPA and one stool sample to the WHO standard of care (SOC) in young children with severe pneumonia, followed by immediate anti-TB treatment initiation in children with a positive Ultra result, in high TB incidence countries, as compared to the SOC alone.

The Effect of Participation and Alignment on the Sustainability of Development Aid: Evidence from a Field Experiment of a Household Water Treatment and Safe Storage Project in Uganda
REFNo: SS285ES
The purpose of this study is to explore the ways in which development aid can become more sustainable and effective. Among others, this study focuses on the impact of participation and alignment on the stainability of aid projects. However, it would be futile to directly ask stakeholders about their opinions on the contested impact of participation and alignment on sustainability because their opinions are driven more by ideology than by analysis. Therefore, this study uses a specific, concrete field situation where abstract relationships between participation, alignment and sustainability can be translated into actual behaviours.

Variation in the leaf-tools of wild chimpanzees: Budongo Forest Reserve
REFNo: NS77ES
This research examines leaf-tool use and repertoire in the Budongo Forest Reserve, Uganda. In the forest, there are two habituated chimpanzee communities: Waibira, where habituation started in 2011, and Sonso, where habituation started in 1990. Both groups have a unique tool repertoire, without any stick or stone based tools, as opposed to those described at other long-term chimpanzee field sites. Additionally, the Waibira group faces an unusual ecological pressure during the dry season, when, despite being a forest living group, all permanent sources of water dry up. Describing their tool repertoire and investigating how it differs from the neighbouring Sonso community, who have permanent water sources all year around, will shed light on the ecological and social pressures driving the development of tool use.
The project aims to provide a detailed description of the leaf-tool use of the Waibira chimpanzees of the Budongo forest, during the dry season lasting from December to end of February. Other aims are to determine variables that influence the use of leaf-tools, accurately measure leaf tools, and draw a developmental timeline for the most common type of leaf-tool, leaf-sponging. This will allow for detailed description of the leaf-tools of the community.

MERIAM: Modelling Early Risk Indicators to Anticipate Malnutrition
REFNo: HS245ES
The central aim of the MERIAM project is to identify, test and scale up cost-effective means to improve the prediction and monitoring of undernutrition in difficult contexts, in such a way that it enables an effective response to manage and mitigate nutritional risk. The objectives of the overall, multi-year multi-country MERIAM research project include:
(a) the creation of high-quality, relevant research that fills gaps in the evidence base on the prediction of undernutrition in response to shocks (e.g., conflict, drought, spikes in food prices);
(b) the accessibility of results and evidence to both technical and non-technical audiences, including facilitation of audience engagement with data and the predictive model via a user-friendly online platform; and,
(c) the successful uptake of MERIAM research by key stakeholders in policy and practice, with a focus on national-level actors and their utilization of the data and analysis to inform humanitarian response.
The objectives of the Uganda-specific field visit for the computational modelling component include:
(1) Visit locations where nutrition crises have occurred to get an understanding of the context, terrain, conditions, and populations
(2) Administer questionnaires to identify and gauge key attributes, assets, choice sets, behavioral rules and practices (including adaptation and learning), drivers, constraints, and interventions.
(3) Conduct simple vignette-based experiments where interviewees are presented with scenarios to which they answer with how they would respond to or judge various situations
(4) Conduct open-ended discussions to make “explicit†the mental models practitioners use for assessment and decision-making
