Landscape analysis of the One Health ecosystem supporting interventions against zoonotic diseases in Uganda
REFNo: SS5023ES
Main Objective
1. To characterise the perceptions of different stakeholders relevant to Taenia Solium control to support co-design of a SUSTAIN-specific acceptability and feasibility framework for use in the trial evaluation.
Specific Objectives
1. Review the policy document and health activities landscape associated with One Health, public and veterinary health campaigns and the stakeholder environment in the SUSTAIN study districts relevant for zoonotic and Neglected Tropical Disease activities in Uganda.
2. Validate local systems, governance and stakeholder mapping with relevant stakeholders in Uganda.
3. Understand the distribution of and roles and responsibilities of key stakeholders involved in the knowledge generation and translation, decision-making and policy development, and programme planning and implementation relevant for Taenia Solium and NTDs in Uganda, using SUSTAIN as a case study
4. Ensure the most relevant district-level human and animal health officials are able to communicate and have a good understanding of the cross-sector system surrounding, and rationale for, SUSTAIN intervention for Taenia Solium control. Especially appreciating the different perspectives and any potential shared objectives across sectors.
5. Develop and validate a theory of change for the joint MDA strategy, especially identifying the elements of One Health implementation i.e. priorities for communication, co-ordination and collaboration and any capacity gaps that may need addressing to fulfil these.
6. Identify indicators of acceptability and evaluate prospective (perceived) acceptability for implementers and recipients through pre-intervention consultation (Key Informant Interviews and Focus Group Discussions), mapped against the seven domains of the theoretical framework of acceptability.
7. Document any opportunities, barriers and facilitators to implementing cross-sectoral control programmes such as SUSTAIN.

1. To collect and record traditional narratives of Ugandan orature from selected
communities through interviews and storytelling sessions with storytellers, elders, and
other cultural knowledge holders.
2. To analyze the themes, structures, and patterns in these narratives, including the
relationships among different versions of similar stories.
3. To compare Ugandan orature with medieval literary traditions from other regions of the
world and assess how it can broaden or revise existing understandings of the global
Middle Ages.
4. To produce accessible materials based on Ugandan orature that instructors and students
can use in world literature and medieval studies courses in Uganda and the rest of the
world.

Assessing the Health, Educational, and Psychosocial Impact of Rainwater Purification Systems in Kijoto Parish, Uganda
REFNo: HS7133ES
The purpose of this research is to evaluate the social, psychological, and health-related impact of newly installed rainwater catchment, purification, and storage systems at three primary schools in Kitojo Parish, Uganda. These systems were implemented by the Healthy Hands Initiative and Raising the Communities in February 2025 to address water insecurity and its associated burdens in rural areas.
This study has the following specific aims:
Aim 1:
Assess the impact of clean water access on community quality of life, mental health, and safety.
We will examine how rainwater systems influence the day-to-day lives of community members, with a focus on time savings, perceived improvements in health and well-being, reduced anxiety around water access, and improved safety (e.g., reduced long-distance water collection, particularly for women and children).
Aim 2:
Explore the effects of clean water systems on educational outcomes and student well-being.
We will investigate how water access affects teacher-reported attendance, student focus, and general classroom dynamics. We hypothesize that improved access to clean water correlates with higher attendance and fewer health-related absences.
Aim 3:
Identify implementation factors that affect system adoption and sustainability.
Using qualitative methods grounded in implementation science frameworks (e.g., RE-AIM or CFIR), we will explore what factors support or hinder successful adoption and long-term maintenance of the rainwater systems. These factors may include local leadership involvement, cultural attitudes, system usability, and perceptions of ownership.
Aim 4:
Compare current water quality with prior community sources.
Water samples will be collected from the new systems and compared with samples from previously used sources to evaluate improvements in water safety.
