A History of Moral Education in Uganda: Tracing Social Values relating to Gender and Sexuality
REFNo: SS82ES
In my research, I seek to understand a history of moral thought in Uganda, by looking at ideas about gender and sexuality, in order to put current contentious issues in their historical context. This context is inextricably linked to the process of national and regional identity making in Uganda, and hence of great importance in understanding society and post-colonial social and political development.

The Role of Goods Distribution for Stability in Ethnically-divided countries. Uganda Case Study
REFNo: SS66ES
Contribute to the growing literature on public goods distribution which takes into account that not all goods and services are treated equally and that they have different properties. For example, it will build on the work of Kramon and Posner (2013) and Burgess et al (2015). The project will also contribute to literature which examines political stability in developing countries (Magaloni 2008; Blaydes 2011) by adding a component of ethnic diversity.
The objective of the proposed interviews with local and national government, NGOs, and traditional leaders is to understand the distribution structure used to provide different types of goods/services/transfers to different parts of the country.
The objective of the survey is to understand what people receive on the ground in different areas of the country, what types of goods and services they prefer, what different goods indicate to people about the government’s attitude towards them, and who they believe is responsible for providing the different goods and services they receive.

Development and evaluation of simplified dietary assessment tools in rural/semi-rural women in Uganda
REFNo: HS63ES
Aims and Objectives
The aim of this study is to design and test simplified dietary assessment tools appropriate for use in rural/ areas of Uganda (and comparable countries) that provide adequate quantitative data at population level (i.e., not individual level) on nutrient intake amounts, their relative adequacy compared to requirements, and their food sources. These methods and tools are intended to be comparable in utility to the multiple pass 24-hour recall, currently considered as the reference method, but with lower labor and resource requirements.
Among women residing in a selected study population in Uganda, the objectives of the study are to:
Objective 1: Design and field test simplified methods and tools for collecting and summarizing 'input data' or information on: (i) the various foods and recipes consumed, (ii) the distribution of usual portion sizes for foods consumed, and (iii) the variation in ingredients and proportion of ingredients in recipes consumed.
Sub-objective 1.1: Compare the results of the two simplified input data collection tools to standard methods described in the multiple pass 24-hour recall for listing of foods consumed, estimation of portion sizes of consumed foods, and calculation of standard recipes.
Sub-objective 1.2: Estimate the time and resource requirements for collection of these input data using the simplified input data collection tools.
Objective 2: Design and field test two simplified dietary data collection methods and tools using (i) a 24-hour dietary recall format and (ii) a semi-quantitative food frequency format.
Sub-objective 2.1: Compare key results of each of the two simplified dietary assessment methods with results from a standard multiple-pass 24-hour recall method conducted in the same study population: (i) mean intake of energy and 13 nutrients; (ii) nutrients for which mean intake is 5% of the Estimated Average Requirement for 13 nutrients.
Sub-objective 2.2: Using data collected by the standard 24-hour dietary recall method, compare the key results (noted in 2.1 above) when food composition data for individual food items is applied to the data vs when food composition data aggregated by food sub-group is applied to the data.
Sub-objective 2.3: Determine and compare the time and resource requirements for implementing each of the simplified survey methods and the standard 24-hour recall method.
