Farmer Perceptions and Preferences for Perennial Sorghum in the Drylands of
Eastern Uganda
REFNo: A659ES
General objective:
To generate knowledge for the promotion of the adoption of perennial sorghum varieties.
Specific Objectives:
1. Identify the agronomic traits most valued by smallholder farmers in perennial sorghum varieties, such as yield, drought resistance, maturity period, and ease of harvesting, to guide the development of locally adapted perennial sorghum lines.
2. Analyze the socio-cultural perceptions and attitudes of smallholder farmers toward perennial sorghum, and to examine how gender dynamics, household decision-making, and youth involvement influence the adoption of perennial sorghum cropping systems.
3. Assess the key barriers and opportunities for the adoption of perennial sorghum among smallholder farmers, including factors such as access to seeds, labor requirements, market access, and the availability of agricultural support services.
4. Investigate the economic dynamics influencing the adoption of perennial sorghum, including market access, price trends, income generation, and the potential for value-added products, to determine the economic viability of perennial sorghum systems for smallholder farmers.
5. Evaluate the role of agricultural extension services, public and private institutions, and other stakeholders in supporting smallholder farmers in the adoption and management of perennial sorghum, with a focus on the effectiveness of training and access to resources.

Investigating providers` (Health Care Workers (HCW), midwives, nurses and physicians) knowledge of syphilis, and their experiences, perceptions, ideas and interest in syphilis testing will be essential to gain deeper understanding of these factors. Additionally, providers’ interest and ideas on engaging partners in antenatal syphilis testing will be explored to address the issue of re-infection in pregnant women. To gain an overview of a pregnant woman’s journey through the clinic, paying particular attention to how syphilis screening fits into antenatal care clinic observations will be conducted.
3. Exploring syphilis self-testing as a novel syphilis testing strategy in ANC services.
Investigating policy makers`, providers’ and pregnant women’s understanding and interest in the use of syphilis self-testing will be investigated. Whether the use of secondary distribution of self-test kits to partners of pregnant women to enhance partner engagement may be an acceptable approach among pregnant women will be also examined.

Pregnancy to Protection: Enhancing Vaccine Confidence for Lifelong Family Health
REFNo: HS6734ES
1. Identify factors that influence vaccine confidence among pregnant women and mothers to enhance immunization uptake at the family level, creating a positive ripple effect across the lifespan.
2. Identify opportunities for and barriers to expanding maternal vaccination coverage through evidence-based community focused approaches.
For objective two we will utilize qualitative methods to understand key stakeholder level perspectives on overcoming barriers related to the 3c’s and the acceptability, feasibility, and appropriateness (implementation outcomes, operationalized as defined by proctor et al. (60)) of mass education and vaccination campaigns that reach pregnant women outside of ANC facilities to expand vaccine access and catalyze uptake within the family unit. We will also explore how other routine immunization delivery across the lifespan can be similarly optimized.
Key informant participants will be identified through existing relationships with the MOH (in the case of policy level stakeholders) and community leaders (in the case of traditional birth attendants and village health team members).
