1) To understand the genetic diversity of Liberica coffee (across its natural range and in cultivation), and its correspondence to physical features (morphology), chemistry (data already available) and sensory characteristics (some data already available).
2) Elucidate patterns of genetic diversity across cultivated and wild C. liberica in Uganda.
3) Place cultivated Ugandan genotypes within a country-wide and African-wide perspective. In particular we will focus on the origin of farmed Liberica in Uganda: to ascertain whether they are from an indigenous source (i.e. one of the two forest locations in Uganda where this species has been recorded), or not. Farmers in Uganda say that this coffee travelled with previous generations from the forest. National and regional identity will be an asset for the marketing and development of Liberica-excelsa (kisansa coffee).
4) Propose a new, and much-needed, intraspecific classification for C. liberica.

Improving POC-CCA reliability and interpretation in low and high S. mansoni endemicity settings using recombinant Ab-based POC-CCAs and improved quality assurance and control
REFNo: HS2788ES
This study aims to demonstrate the performance of the new recPOC-CCA rapid test in areas of low and high schistosomiasis endemicity, in comparison to the current POC-CCA test and KK microscopy.
Objective I: The study will also evaluate the use of 1-3 calibrator samples to provide clear visual guidance to the appropriate cutoff G-Scores for the recPOC-CCA test, for the end user to use within an endemic setting.
Objective II: This will reduce batch-to-batch variations, and reduce the impact of the often subjective Trace readings around the cutoff of the test. LatentClassAnalysis(LCA)willbeperformedwiththediagnostictestsdatatoestimatethetrueinfection status of the participants, and the probability of each diagnostic test to accurately predict infection, demonstrating how LCA can improve data interpretation to support MDA program decision making.

Nutrition Assessment for Children with Disabilities and Children without Family Care
REFNo: HS2826ES
The study purpose is to fill longstanding gaps in data on nutrition and feeding for children with disabilities and children living in childcare institutions in Uganda. Our overall hypothesis is that children with disabilities and children living in institutions in Uganda have very high rates of malnutrition, face significant barriers to accessing appropriate nutrition services and support, and merit increased prioritization in policies, practices, and investments.
Our objectives are to:
1. Estimate the prevalence of malnutrition, feeding difficulties, and inappropriate feeding practices among children with disabilities and children living in institutions.
2. Assess the perceived barriers to adequate nutrition and feeding among families of children with disabilities and children living in institutions.
3. Understand nutrition and feeding-related support needs of children with disabilities, children living in institutions, and their caregivers
4. Identify the gaps and opportunities in nutrition and feeding services and policies for children with disabilities and children living in institutions; and disseminate recommendations to inform relevant policies and practices.

Exploring the implications of blockchain and other emerging technologies on refugee governance
REFNo: SS1622ES
My research will examine how blockchain and other emerging technologies are conceptualized, deployed, and operationalized within refugee settings. Using Kenya and Uganda as sites of analysis, the thesis will ask the following research questions: 1) How are blockchain and other technologies shaping the governance of refugees? 2) How do refugees engage with blockchain and other emerging technologies in their everyday lives? 3) What is at stake in these technological systems and practices when applied within humanitarian interventions?
The specific objectives that follow from these research questions are to: a) assess what can be learned from the deployment of blockchain and other emerging technologies b) examine how refugees understand and frame their engagement with such technologies and c) understand the visions and imaginaries of tech developers and humanitarian organizations and how they define their collaborative work. This research also considers how different actors (tech industry workers, corporate funders, UNHCR staff and refugees) understand, contribute to, and shape the discourse around blockchain and other technologies in humanitarian settings. This research will use several data collection methods based on empirical fieldwork in camp and non-camp settings and discourse analysis to capture the diverse perspectives of tech industry workers, corporate funders, UNHCR innovation staff, camp staff and refugees.

White Sisters, Nursing Practices, and Reproductive Health in East Africa, 1890-present
REFNo: SS1371ES
This research project comprises two sub-projects carried out by a senior researcher (PI – Prof. Dr. Hilde Bras who holds the Aletta Jacobs Chair in Economic and Social History, with special attention to Global Demography and Health at the University of Groningen), and a PhD student (Ivana Zecevic, MA), both working at the Department of History of the University of Groningen, Chair Group of Economic and Social History (ESH).
The project aims to contribute to the debate taking place among economic and social historians, historical demographers and medical historians about the historical legacies of colonialism for contemporary global health, in particular in sub-Saharan Africa (Doyle, 2013; Walters, 2008). What was the effect of the colonial presence, and of female missionaries in particular, on (reproductive) health in Africa? To what extent did missionary health care lead to changes in fertility (number of children per woman), maternal mortality, venereal diseases, and infant and child mortality and morbidity? Research within this debate has focused mainly on colonial state medicine and on doctors (Iliffe, 1998) and hardly on the role of the mission (but cf. Doyle et al., 2020; Jennings, 2006), mission nurses, and nursing care. Moreover the present project focuses on missionary nursing practices in relation to extant indigenous midwifery and nursing practices and explicitly foregrounds the relationship between the two.The overarching research question is: What are the nursing practices (related to maternal and child care) of missionary nurses (MSOLA), indigenous nurses, and missionary doctors and how are they related to fertility, morality, child and maternal health in East Africa, 1890-present?
