Increasing Adoption and Varietal Turnover of Seed: Consumer and Producer Side Interventions
REFNo: SS1657ES
The study will be implemented through a cluster randomize control trial, where a sample of treatment villages (clusters) will receive producer side treatments (free seed trial packs or discounted seed trial packs of a poorly adopted improved maize variety, Bazooka) while other treatment villages will receive a consumer side intervention involving cooking and tasting demonstration of maize from the improved variety. However, in both treatment and control groups, we will inform farmers about the existence of the improved seed variety and the benefits of using them, to be able to isolate the effect of the trail pack from merely knowledge effects.

Community Engagement in Paediatric Biobanking Governance in Uganda.
REFNo: SS1651ES
The aim of this study is to provide IARC and the Ugandan Government with actionable recommendations concerning the development of paediatric biobanking guidelines. The primary objective is to identify the key ethical issues/concerns for researchers, laboratory staff, and health authorities in Uganda, specifically related to public trust in biobanking, and how trust/ trustworthiness could be addressed in paediatric biobanking governance as well as how the community might be engaged.
• Does it hold true that trust/ trustworthiness is contextual and that effectively would preclude any harmonisation of guidelines for biobanking? Or is there any common ground on which to build global /international guidelines,
• What are the gaps in biobanking in Uganda, particularly with respect to paediatric biobanking and,
• How can Uganda create paediatric biobanking guidelines that reflect the needs identified by communities and what would this look like, and,
• How can biobanks show they are trustworthy through their governance and what does that look like to Uganda? Is it sufficient to be transparent and accountable or are other cultural/economic/religious/aspects that parents consider in their assessment of trust in a biobank?
• How can ethical considerations related to biobank governance be addressed in an inclusive, collaborative and deliberative manner
