Exploring the implications of blockchain and other emerging technologies on refugee governance
REFNo: SS1622ES

My research will examine how blockchain and other emerging technologies are conceptualized, deployed, and operationalized within refugee settings. Using Kenya and Uganda as sites of analysis, the thesis will ask the following research questions: 1) How are blockchain and other technologies shaping the governance of refugees? 2) How do refugees engage with blockchain and other emerging technologies in their everyday lives? 3) What is at stake in these technological systems and practices when applied within humanitarian interventions? The specific objectives that follow from these research questions are to: a) assess what can be learned from the deployment of blockchain and other emerging technologies b) examine how refugees understand and frame their engagement with such technologies and c) understand the visions and imaginaries of tech developers and humanitarian organizations and how they define their collaborative work. This research also considers how different actors (tech industry workers, corporate funders, UNHCR staff and refugees) understand, contribute to, and shape the discourse around blockchain and other technologies in humanitarian settings. This research will use several data collection methods based on empirical fieldwork in camp and non-camp settings and discourse analysis to capture the diverse perspectives of tech industry workers, corporate funders, UNHCR innovation staff, camp staff and refugees.

White Sisters, Nursing Practices, and Reproductive Health in East Africa, 1890-present
REFNo: SS1371ES

This research project comprises two sub-projects carried out by a senior researcher (PI – Prof. Dr. Hilde Bras who holds the Aletta Jacobs Chair in Economic and Social History, with special attention to Global Demography and Health at the University of Groningen), and a PhD student (Ivana Zecevic, MA), both working at the Department of History of the University of Groningen, Chair Group of Economic and Social History (ESH).
The project aims to contribute to the debate taking place among economic and social historians, historical demographers and medical historians about the historical legacies of colonialism for contemporary global health, in particular in sub-Saharan Africa (Doyle, 2013; Walters, 2008). What was the effect of the colonial presence, and of female missionaries in particular, on (reproductive) health in Africa? To what extent did missionary health care lead to changes in fertility (number of children per woman), maternal mortality, venereal diseases, and infant and child mortality and morbidity? Research within this debate has focused mainly on colonial state medicine and on doctors (Iliffe, 1998) and hardly on the role of the mission (but cf. Doyle et al., 2020; Jennings, 2006), mission nurses, and nursing care. Moreover the present project focuses on missionary nursing practices in relation to extant indigenous midwifery and nursing practices and explicitly foregrounds the relationship between the two.The overarching research question is: What are the nursing practices (related to maternal and child care) of missionary nurses (MSOLA), indigenous nurses, and missionary doctors and how are they related to fertility, morality, child and maternal health in East Africa, 1890-present?

Participants for this Aim will include TH and PLWH from Aim 1, in addition to staff from affiliated HIV clinics, and Ministry of Health (MoH) AIDS Control Division Officers who will be invited to participate in in- depth interviews and structured surveys. Following the convergent mixed methods approach38, quantitative and qualitative data – including validated survey instruments, in-depth interviews, and structured observations – will be collected to evaluate context pertinent to Omuyambi implementation over a 24-month period.,Aim 1: We will compare the Omuyambi intervention versus HIV clinic-based care (control) in a cluster randomized trial to assess the effectiveness of a community-based traditional healer (TH)-facilitated support program for people living with HIV (PLWH) in Mbarara District. We will conduct a CRT of Omuyambi versus TH’s referrals for clinic-based HIV care at 40 TH cluster sites over 33 months in Aim 1. The unit of randomization is the TH; each cluster includes TH and adult PLWH who are ART naïve or defaulted from HIV care. TH who are randomized to Omuyambi will facilitate HIV support for ART naïve or nonadherent PWLH receiving care at their practice.,We propose a parallel arm cluster randomized trial to compare the intervention (Omuyambi) to the control in Aim 1 to assess the effectiveness of the intervention and use a mixed methods approach to evaluate the implementation in Aim 2.,

Violence and Regime Trajectories in Post-Conflict Uganda and Rwanda
REFNo: SS1413ES

This study is driven by two important objectives: the first is the need to consider the influence of a “residue” social structure. What the cases of Uganda and Rwanda tell us is that, without understanding the underlying socio-political agency of the political regime and the armed elites that run it (and without knowing who their allies are or what the sources of constraints in that process are), it is difficult to resolve the socio-political problems that trouble most postwar states on the continent. The second is the need to show how post-war reconstruction in Africa is a function of elite interactions. The failure to understand this phenomenon has left post-conflict societies more vulnerable to conflict relapse. By investigating the interface of power elites in post-war state reconstruction, this research situates itself within a more empirical and contemporary African perspective and elevates the importance of social actors, specifically those whose actions reflect the intractability of power struggle. Specifically, the research seeks to achieve the following objectives:

 To understand the process of post-conflict state reconstruction in Uganda and Rwanda
 To understand factors that may hinder or enable the rebuilding of state institutions after a civil war.
 To compare the experience of Uganda and Rwanda with regards to how they both approached state reconstruction after a devastating civil war.
 To determine the nature and impact of policies taken by state-builders in both Uganda after the 1986 civil war and Rwanda after the 1991 genocide.

 Prevalence and predictors of antimicrobial resistance in clinical- and community-acquired upper respiratory bacterial samples in children under 5 in south-western Uganda
REFNo: HS2625ES

Upper respiratory infections are the second leading cause of death in children under 5 in Uganda, and account for 40% of all under-5 outpatient attendance at clinics and hospitals nationwide in Uganda. As bacterial cultures of lung aspirates are often not practical, the WHO recommends using a rapid breathing and chest wall in-drawing to diagnose pneumonia in children under 5, and recommends treatment with oral amoxicillin or co-trimoxazole, or intramuscular penicillin. The only study of anti-microbial resistance (AMR) in nasopharyngeal bacteria in Uganda comes from healthy children in the Iganga/Mayuge region (Eastern Uganda), where the authors found that one-third of children were given a self-prescribed antibiotic within the past two weeks for fever, running nose, or cough, that 60% carried Streptococcus pneumoniae, and that a high proportion (80% to 99%) of cultures were resistant to co-trimoxazole, penicillin, and oxacillin. At Bwindi Community Hospital, suspected acute respiratory infections accounted for 75% of all under-5 outpatient diagnoses in 2015/2016, and are the most common reason for under-5 admissions to the Pediatrics Ward (e.g., 34% of 830 admissions in 2015/2016). In addition, the majority of antibiotics prescribed for both children and adults were for suspected acute respiratory illness (5,273 of 17,910 prescriptions). Our proposed study seeks to build on previous work concerning Antimicrobial Resistance in the developing world with a specific focus, on clinical- and community-acquired upper respiratory bacterial infections in children under 5 in southwestern Uganda, and it will be the first to analyse spatio-temporal patterns of resistance and explicitly link those patterns to cultural and social characteristics and behaviours on the ground as well as healthcare infrastructure. We propose a multi-layered study to; 1) Analyze the prevalence and spatial associations of antibiotic resistance in nasopharyngeal bacterial isolates from children under 5 in the Bwindi Community Hospital (BCH) catchment area for a year in Kanungu District, Southwestern Uganda. 2) Assess the use of antibacterial drugs at home to treat acute respiratory illness in these children from children under 5 in the Bwindi Community Hospital (BCH) catchment area in Kanungu District 3) Assess practices of antibiotic distribution at drug shops in the BCH catchment region.

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
