Functional Indicators to assess freshwater ecosystem integrity: Biogeochemical dynamics of carbon, nitrogen and phosphorous cycling and stream metabolism
REFNo: NS402ES
The aim of this study is to evaluate the ecological status of sections of a Ugandan river with different levels of human impact using stream metabolism as a functional indicator.
It intends to investigate the following objectives:
i. To examine the role of catchment land-use and seasons in determining river water quality nutrient and dissolved organic carbon concentrations and the effects it has on water quality
ii. To investigate how stream metabolism responds to nutrient and organic matter loading along land use and seasonal gradients
iii. To assess the environmental parameters controlling stream metabolism in tropical streams and their seasonal variation along land-use gradients
iv. To investigate the relationship between stream processes and biological components of the river and their sensitivity to nutrient and organic matter pollution.

A VILLAGE-LEVEL POVERTY ALLEVIATION PROGRAM IN UGANDA
REFNo: SS1431ES
Can poverty be alleviated effectively if everyone within a community is eligible for a graduation program, rather than only the poorest? Are the causes of persistent poverty specific to individual households, requiring individualized training and coaching, or are there common elements that can be addressed at the village level within group trainings?,
