Assessing local attitudes towards tourism and conservation at Bwindi Impenetrable national park, Uganda
REFNo: SS302ES
This master’s research aims to investigate if park tourism can improve attitudes of residents involved in small-scale tourism enterprises towards protected area conservation, by delivering economic development; using Bwindi Impenetrable National Park (BINP) in Uganda as a case study.
The research objectives are:
• Measure expectations of residents involved in small-scale tourism enterprises based on their experiences of park tourism.
• Evaluating if recent interventions to enhance small-scale tourism enterprises have increased economic benefits from park tourism and if this has improved attitudes towards PA conservation.
• Assess the sustainability of these interventions.
The research hypothesis is: ‘Local attitudes towards protected area conservation improve when residents involved in small-scale tourism enterprises receive benefits from park tourism’.
And the research questions I will ask to test this hypothesis & achieve the aim of this project are:
• What expectations do residents involved in small-scale tourism enterprises have of park tourism?
• Do local attitudes towards protected area conservation improve when residents involved in small-scale tourism enterprises receive benefits from tourism?
• Do people feel they are sufficiently trained to continue without further interventions?

Dietary Intake and Nutritional Situation of Women of Reproductive Age (20-50 Years Old) in Lango Sub-Region of Northern Uganda: Implementation of Calculator for Inadequate Micronutrient Intake (CIMI) Program
REFNo: HS319ES
The main objective of this study is to assess the dietary intake and nutritional status of women of reproductive age in the predominantly rural North of Uganda. Therefore, the innovative
nutrition software called Calculator for Inadequate Micronutrient Intake (CIMI) will be used and validated with the obtained data.
Research objectives:
(1) To evaluate the dietary intake and nutritional status of women of reproductive age (20-50 years old) from Lango Sub-Region in Northern Uganda.
(2) To adapt CIMI program to the country Uganda and to compare CIMI with the software NutriSurvey for its ability to analyze dietary nutrients intake (Fe, Zn and Vitamin A and protein) and energy content in the study region. For the validation of CIMI, a new localization (appropriate to Ugandan Food) will be implemented in the nutrition software before.
(3) To identify the main causes of poor food consumption patterns of Ugandan women of reproductive age.
