A Genomics Census of Chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes) in the Greater Budongo-Bugoma Landscape: A Tool to Aid Long-term Monitoring and Conservation of a Critically Threatened Great Ape Population
REFNo: NS957ES
The objective of this 3-year study is to conduct a comprehensive genetics census of wild chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes schweinfurthii) living in the Greater Budongo-Bugoma Landscape. This critically important great ape population comprises those in the Budongo and Bugoma Central Forest Reserves (CFRs) and the unprotected ‘corridor’ areas surrounding these main forest blocks. Chimpanzees throughout this landscape are highly threatened by ongoing agricultural and infrastructural developments, including those connected to the development of Uganda’s oil industry, with the chimpanzees residing outside protected areas facing greatest impacts. Fieldwork will involve non-invasive collection of faecal samples from all ‘corridor’ chimpanzee groups, with related data collected on ranges and habitat use, in addition to faecal sampling of populations within the main Budongo and Bugoma CFRs. The study will employ state-of-the-art genomics analyses to provide novel baseline data on the size, structure and viability of this critical but highly threatened population of great apes. The study will directly aid long-term population monitoring and inform effective conservation strategies on the ground to help safeguard the chimpanzees inhabiting this fast-developing region of Uganda.

Electronic Waste Recycling and Environmental Policy in East Africa
REFNo: SS3908ES
Many cities across the global south are rapidly urbanizing and confronting increasing levels of wastes. This poses a challenge for cities’ infrastructural capacity. This project asks how cities and states adapt to rapid population growth and the byproducts of growing industrial sectors, and the wastes these growing forces bring. Batteries and consumer electronics are ubiquitous in daily life, yet the fate of these products once they reach the end of their lives remains understudied. This study seeks to understand how city and state governments make decisions on how to recycle these electronic wastes, how governments work with private sector actors to engineer recycling infrastructures, and where environmental externalities from the increased volumes of electronic wastes end up. This study examines state and city policy surrounding recycling and environmental protection, as well as metal recycler’s strategies for recycling electronic wastes in Kampala, Uganda. One objective of the study is to understand how governments and private recyclers separate electronic wastes from the general overall waste stream. Futhermore, the study seeks to understand different models for recycling electronic wastes once these wastes have been separated.

The role of emotional feedback in the acquisition of culture and the transmission of knowledge in chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes)
REFNo: NS965ES
Overall goal - Tackle the impact of affective processes, particularly emotions, in the acquisition of cultural knowledge in wild chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes). Ultimately, as part of a joint research, decipher the evolutionary roots of how human cultures developed to such a different extent compared to our closest relatives.
Objectives:
- Investigate longitudinally how young chimpanzees acquire knowledge in their first years of life about the environment or their social group through the emotional reactions of their closest kin (their mother).
- Investigate the material side of cultural knowledge transmission: experimentally assess the possibility of measuring the influence of emotional reactions in the mother on the exploration of novel stimuli in young chimpanzees and how this impacts their knowledge acquisition.

The Use and Repair of Capital by Small Enterprises and Economic Growth: Evidence from Uganda
REFNo: SS3846ES
The study aims to generate more knowledge on the economic forces behind repair provision for machines and their effects in Uganda as a whole.
Specifically, it intends to:
(i) Quantify market frictions shaping the availability of repair services for capital used by small enterprises in the milling, coffee bean hulling and commuter motorcycle industries.
a. Analyse the apparent dichotomy between the thriving capital repair market in Kampala and the dearth of timely repair in more remote areas in the country using Luwero as a case study.
b. Understand the business considerations of mechanics in planning where to locate, which machinery to specialise in, and how to acquire customers.
(ii) Examine the impact of the availability of capital repair services on economic growth at the micro and macro levels
a. At a micro level, the study examines the impact of the availability of capital repair services on the growth of small enterprises in the milling, coffee bean hulling and commuter motorcycle industries.
b. At a macro level, using findings on business growth through a simulation, the study examines the impact of the availability of capital repair services on Uganda’s economic growth.
(iii) Make policy simulations and recommendations.
a. Simulate the impact of different policies aimed at overcoming the identified frictions, such as subsidies and benefits to repair personnel, impacting in the price of spare parts, achieved through tariff changes, transportation infrastructure improvements, or quality improvement, and expanded training programs for mechanics.
b. Using the above simulations, formulate policy recommendations for the Ugandan government. As an example, the price of spare parts is a crucial variable measured in our survey. One way the government can lower the price of spare parts is through lowering tariffs. Our simulations will make predictions about the economic value of such a tariff policy, allowing us to make a recommendation as to whether such a policy should be pursued.
