Understanding the need for inoculation of common in Uganda
REFNo: A12ES

Objective 1: Determine the abundance and diversity of indigenous rhizobia nodulating common bean in Uganda and the factors influencing them. This will be achieved by establishing if uninoculated soil from different Agroecological zones (AEZ) differ in the ability to support effective nitrogen fixation and if this difference is related to the abundance and composition of the native rhizobial population.\r\n\r\nSpecific objective 1.1: Estimate the population density of indigenous rhizobia in different soils and determine the effect of the soil properties on the rhizobial population.\r\n\r\nSpecific objective 1.2: Determine the rhizobial composition in different soils and factors that influence it.\r\n\r\nSpecific objective 1.3: Determine the effectiveness of nitrogen fixation of rhizobial populations derived from different soils and factors that influence it.\r\n\r\nObjective 2: Determine the competitiveness of indigenous rhizobial populations from different soils with respect to current strains used for bean inoculation.\r\n\r\nSpecific objective 3: Test effectiveness, adaptability and competitiveness of the identified superior indigenous rhizobia under greenhouse conditions.\r\n\r\nSpecific objective 4: Test effectiveness, adaptability and competitiveness

Baseline Study for an Adolescent HIV and SRHR Programme
REFNo: HS23ES

The objective of this study is to establish baseline values and qualitative information on select project indicators. This information will serve as a basis for Alliance and CHAU to set targets and track changes and progress against these indicators throughout the project period. This information may also serve Alliance and CHAU to inform and shape programming as well as READY project contribution to Uganda national SRHR and HIV outcomes and targets.
