Assessment of Effectiveness and Cost-effectiveness of the Quality Improvement Guide on Maternal and Newborn Care in Uganda
REFNo: HS162ES
1 Evaluate the change in QI-related actions (defined as; establishing improvement team, identifying gaps in quality of care and particular barriers causing the gap, deciding what to improve, plan, test and implement interventions to address identified gap, routinely monitor the progress of improvement and institutionalize improvement and successful changes in the facility) and knowledge among health care providers and managers from targeted health facilities using different implementation strategies vs business as usual (control group).
2 Determine the change in quality of maternal and newborn care processes (defined as every patient receiving the recommended services every time it is appropriate) and outcomes from pre-intervention to post-intervention in health facilities which have been exposed to the three different implementation strategies.
3 Determine the incremental cost-effectiveness ratio of the different implementation strategies in terms of expenditure per unit of patient care improvement achieved by the implementation strategy to each other and the control group with no incremental costs related to particular control group strategy.
4 Explore key informants perceptions of and experiences with the different intervention strategies.

Chimpanzee Highways: Gene Flow and Connectivity at Itwara Forest Reserve
REFNo: NS36ES
This study will focus on a chimpanzee metapopulation, which likely spans several protected areas in western Uganda by utilizing Itwara Forest Reserve (hereafter ‘Itwara’) as a connective corridor. Contrasting environments characterize at least two of those areas; closed-forest habitat dominates Itwara Forest Reserve (Howard 1991), while closely neighboring Toro-Semliki is usually described as an “open habitat,†(Hunt and McGrew 2002). Initial observations suggest that chimpanzees utilize a connective corridor of ~4 km between those two reserves, not only for rare dispersal events, but also for regular ranging within a single community’s territory (Rich et al. in prep). Here we are proposing to test whether chimpanzees do use a connective corridor between the two reserves, where the chimpanzee-selected corridor is, and what motivates travel through it (i.e. dispersal, foraging, etc.). We will examine the evolutionary and conservation-based implications of corridor-use by Toro-Semliki/Itwara chimpanzees and lay the groundwork for long term, multi-species connectivity research in and around Itwara Forest Reserve using indirect methods. If chimpanzees are using this corridor, then we will expand our research to examine other potential connective corridors that extend from Itwara Forest Reserve into other protected areas such as Kibale National Park and Muhangi Forest Reserve.
