Socioendocrinology of female forest living olive baboons (Papio anubis)
REFNo: NS998ES
This research aims to explore the hormonal correlates of dominance, aggression, and affiliative (pro-social) behavior in female forest-living olive baboons (*Papio anubis*) at Kibale National Park, Uganda. Specifically, it investigates how female dominance rank, aggression, and social behaviors relate to physiological stress and aggression markers, measured through glucocorticoids and testosterone. By examining these relationships at multiple temporal scales, the study will shed light on the adaptive significance of social hierarchies and behaviors among females living in an ecologically stable forest environment, thus advancing the understanding of socioendocrine mechanisms underpinning female primate sociality.

This study aims to test two hypotheses on how to improve adherence to HWTS, especially focusing on the regular cleaning of water containers: (1) whether a hands-off approach, such as a conditional cash transfer, is more effective than a conventional hands-on approach, and/or (2) whether information empowerment—specifically, visually exposing the inside of water containers—can promote adherence under challenging conditions.

REFNo: NS1013ES
The aim of this study is to evaluate three different models of Tiny Target deployment: top-down regular; top-down intensive; community-based, that could be used for future reactive vector control. The data that will be generated in the study will enable policy makers, implementers and funders to make an informed decision about how to implement reactive vector control.
The aim will be achieved by the following objectives:
Objective 1: to determine which deployment model achieves the greatest reduction in tsetse densities
Objective 2: to compare the resource requirements of each deployment model
Objective 3: to ascertain the acceptability of the different deployment models to the communities
Objective 4: to compare the coverage and quality of Tiny Target deployments between models
Objective 5: to assess community knowledge of tsetse habitat and human-tsetse contact areas

The health and well-being benefits of transitioning to piped water service: A prospective study in rural Uganda
REFNo: SS4270ES
Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 6.1 commits the water sector to a new standard of “safely managed” services, including access to an improved water source on premises. This target is not supported by evidence consistently indicating that piped water services on premises generate substantially greater benefits, however. This study, which is the first known prospective analysis of a piped water infrastructure investment in a lower-income country, will help to ensure that debates around costs and benefits of improved services within the SDG initiative are grounded in solid empirical evidence. More specifically, the broad goals of the study are to (1) measure stated preferences of households for piped water service from community water points (public standposts) and household/yard connections, as well as for individual service attributes (e.g., reliability, water quality); (2) assess the impact of transitioning from use of improved community water sources (especially boreholes with handpump) to piped water supply on outcomes at the individual, household and community level; and (3) identify the household, community, and water service characteristics associated with comparatively large (small) impacts.
