Innovating Mobile Solutions for Refugees in East Africa
REFNo: SS120ES
Much literature on the use of mobile technology for migration focuses on migration into Europe, with little research conducted to assess the technology uses and needs of refugees traveling too, from and within East Africa.
This study will explore how refugees in Kenya and Uganda use mobile technology to support migration, during their journey and at arrival, and to what extent current solutions meet their needs. The results will open the way for innovative solutions, uniquely tailored for refugees across the region and in Uganda particularly.Â

Implementing the MANAS trial in Uganda (MAN U) - The Pilot Phase
REFNo: HS134ES
Research Question & Specific Objectives
Question: How will implementing a trained Community Health Worker (CHW)-led Collaborative Stepped Care Intervention (CSCI) lead to an improvement in recovery from depression among patients within general outpatient attending public primary care facilities in Uganda?
Aim 1: To determine whether treatment from trained CHWs leads to 1) patient recovery from MDD as defined by the DSM-IV at 6 months, and 2) the proportion of patients with above threshold scores (PHQ-9 score of ≥10). Hypothesis: Constituents of collaborative care interventions predicted a favorable outcome.
Aim 2: To increase awareness of CHW-led, collaborative stepped care as a viable option of treatment for depression among trainees, study participants, the community and stakeholders. Relevance: Community views and input are essential to inform the development of a culturally appropriate training curriculum for CHWs.
Aim 3: To determine the outcome of the CHW training on retention of knowledge and skills in competencies required to deliver the stepped care intervention among trainees after the training. Hypothesis: Trained CHWs will demonstrate increased level of knowledge and skills in competencies required to deliver collaborative stepped care after the training.
Aim 4: To determine the perceptions of CHWs, study participants, the community and stakeholders towards the process of integrating CHW-led, collaborative stepped care into community based mental healthcare. Relevance: There is a need to understand the views of participants and stakeholders pre and post to determine project efficacy.

Land use and Soil erosion in high populated region in southwestern Uganda
REFNo: A21ES
The area of southwestern Uganda lies along the border with Rwanda and is characterized by high population density, despite the fact that it is a rural area. The area is a highland ranging in altitude from 1,200 to 2,350 m. People have been forced to use limited areas of farmland because of the population increase. In the slope areas of this Area, the shapes of the crop fields are irregular depending on the landform. This feature exacerbates soil loss and agricultural production. There is a high risk of collapse of embankment due to heavy rain. In the previous study, it is pointed out using questionnaire survey as a measure to prevent soil erosion carried out by local residents, but it is not clear by investigate scientifically that the usefulness to prevent soil erosion possessed by terrace farming. It is suggested that soil degradation is accelerating due to short fallow and sudden heavy rain due to climate change. It is expected that the population increase will continue in the future, and it will be necessary to prepare the environment that can sustain livelihood even in the situation of decreasing the per capita area of farm land. Therefore, I will clarify in detail the natural environment aspects that have a big influence on the livelihood activities of the local residents and verify the land use form of the local residents. In discussing soil erosion in mountainous regions of Africa, it is essential to verify sustainable land use that can withstand the effects of climate change. In this study, scientific verification of soil erosion possessed by terrace farming will be carried out in the mountainous area in southwestern Uganda, where land shortage and soil deterioration become serious. Finally I devise a method of land use to prevent soil degradation and aim to improve residents' livelihoods. This research is composed of three main research.
