The psychological well-being of school-age South Sudanese children living in a refugee camp in Uganda
REFNo: SS938ES
RATIONALE
To the best of our knowledge, there are few studies trying to understand how South Sudanese refugee children thrive in settlements in Uganda, limiting the insight into their overall psychological well-being. Therefore, this study seeks to obtain a better understanding of how South Sudanese school-age refugee children experience their life in a refugee settlement in Northern Uganda.
The forced displacement of children implicates coping with and adapting to scenarios and situations that can be detrimental to a child’s normal development and well-being. To understand how children cope with the overall forced migration experience can contribute to find solutions to mitigate or reduce the potentially negative impact it has on children’s psychological well-being and mental health. By improving the knowledge about children’s experiences in refugee settlements, this study ultimately wishes to contribute with evidence that can facilitate the design and implementation of children friendly activities and environments in refugee settlements.
OBJECTIVES
In order to achieve the overarching aim mentioned before, this study plans to:
• observe how children play and socialize with each-other;
• understand how children learn in the refugee camp;
• explore how children cope emotionally with the different challenges caused by forced migration.

Controlled Trial of Game Changers: A Group Intervention
to Train HIV Clients to be Change Agents for HIV Prevention in Uganda
REFNo: HS1896ES
1. To conduct a fully powered RCT of Game Changers to test intervention effects on the primary outcomes of increased HIV testing, reduced condomless sex, and decreased enacted HIV stigma among social network members of participating PLWH.
2. To test intervention effects on the secondary outcomes of reduced internalized HIV stigma, increased HIV serostatus disclosure, and increased viral load suppression among participating PLWH, and PrEP uptake among their social network members.
3. To examine whether increased HIV prevention advocacy by PLWH mediates intervention effects on their social network members’ increased HIV testing and condom use, and whether increased HIV disclosure by PLWH mediates intervention effects on social network members’ reduced HIV stigma.
4. To conduct a cost-effectiveness analysis of the intervention.
We will recruit 210 PLWH, randomizing 105 to the intervention and 105 to a no-intervention control

Addressing Child Trafficking and Slavery in Uganda (ACTS)
REFNo: SS871ES
1. The Standards of Care (SOC) workstream seeks to develop evidence-based nationwide standards of care for survivors and victims of trafficking and slavery. This will involve a desk-based evidence review, online surveys, workshops with the staff of civil society organisations, and analysis of survivor workshop and monitoring and evaluation data collected by project lead Hope for Justice.
2. The Network Strengthening (NSing) component seeks to engage key stakeholders to strengthen internal technical capacity for the Coalition against Trafficking in Persons in Uganda (CATIPU). The aim of this workstream is to increase the capacity of this network of counter-trafficking civil society organisations to improve prevention, protection prosecution and partnership outcomes and capacity for increased collaboration with wider government structures. Therefore, the Unit of Analysis is the network (see Section 12, page 8 below for more detail).
