MIXED-METHODS IMPACT EVALUATION OF THE DIMITRA CLUBS PROJECT IN UGANDA’S AMOLATAR DISTRICT
REFNo: SS4697ES
Main Objective / Purpose
The impact evaluation seeks to understand how participation in Dimitra Clubs influences women’s empowerment and social inclusion. It will assess changes in social cohesion—such as trust, community participation, collective problem-solving, and conflict resolution. The evaluation will further examine how the Clubs strengthen women’s agency, confidence, decision-making power, and access to social and economic resources, while also observing shifts in gender norms among both women and men. Lastly, the study aims to determine whether involvement in the Clubs reduces experiences of intimate partner violence.
Specific Objectives (Polished & Summarised)
1. To evaluate how the Dimitra Clubs enhance women’s intrinsic agency, including autonomy over income decisions and overall self-efficacy.
2. To explore changes in intra-household gender dynamics, including men’s engagement in domestic roles and how household resources are controlled or allocated.
3. To determine whether participation in the Clubs is associated with a reduction in intimate partner violence.
4. To assess the influence of the Clubs on participants’ social cohesion, focusing on trust, relationships, community participation, and confidence in local institutions.

Neuroprotective Potential of Syzygium aromaticum Against Mercuric Chloride-Induced Brain Toxicity in Mice
REFNo: HS7231ES
General Objective
To evaluate the neuroprotective potential of Syzygium aromaticum against mercuric chloride-induced brain toxicity in mice.
Specific Objectives
This study's specific objectives will be to:
(i) Phytochemically characterize Syzygium aromaticum and predict the pharmacokinetic and toxicological properties of its major metabolites using computational tools.
(ii) Determine molecular interactions between the key phytometabolites of Syzygium
aromaticum and neuronal receptors (NMDA and GABA-A) implicated in mercuric chloride-induced neurotoxicity through molecular docking.
(iii) Evaluate the neurobehavioral and biochemical effects of Syzygium aromaticum pretreated and mercuric chloride-exposed mice, focusing on motor coordination, memory performance, oxidative stress, and lipid peroxidation biomarkers.
(iv) Demonstrate histological alterations in the cerebellar cortex and hippocampus of Syzygium aromaticum pretreated and mercuric chloride-exposed mice, by assessing cellular forms.
(v) Demonstrate astroglial activation and neuronal injury in the cerebellar cortex and hippocampus of Syzygium aromaticum pretreated and mercuric chloride-exposed mice using immunohistochemical markers for Glial Fibrillary Acidic Protein (GFAP) and Neuronal Specific Enolase (NSE).
