Experiences of National Social Scientists in Outbreak Preparedness and Response in Uganda: Challenges and Opportunities for Participation"
REFNo: SS4003ES
1.3.1 General objective
The primary aim of this study is to understand the experiences of national social scientists in SSA and the challenges they have faced with integration during outbreak PPRR activities, with an aim to better integrating their expertise into future PPRR efforts and maximise the use of local human resources.
1.3.2 Specific Objectives
The study’s specific objectives are:
?To identify and map the challenges and opportunities for national social scientists’ participation in PPRR, with a particular focus on their experiences in the recent Ebola, COVID-19, Anthrax, Marburg, Cholera, Malaria and Mpox responses.
?To collaborate with national social scientists in co-creating evidence, including success stories, that advocates for their increased involvement in outbreak PPRR efforts.
?To identify opportunities for providing actionable recommendations that enhance the integration of national social scientists into future outbreak PPRR activities, both within their country’s emergency response framework and internationally within the GOARN.
?To contribute to the ongoing decolonisation of global health by amplifying national social scientists’ voices and co-developing strategies that empower social scientists in LMICs.

Gauging Agricultural Land-Use Decisions and Boundaries in Refugee Settlements in Uganda
REFNo: SS4159ES
This project seeks to 1) collect information on factors that influence agricultural land use decisions in refugee settlements in Uganda, and 2) estimate the boundary (the outermost extent) of agricultural lands accessed or managed by refugees. The first objective provides information on factors associated with cropland dynamics in refugee settlement. The second objective allows us to associate satellite-mapped cropland dynamics to specific refugee settlements.
This project follows the UNCST-approved research project, "Multi-sensor Mapping of Refugee Agricultural Land-Cover/Land-Use Change Hotspots in Uganda" (RefNo: A414ES), which sought to collect information on crop type and condition at refugee settlements for further satellite image analysis.
