Exploring the option for co-existence of Mabira Forest and the booming economic activity
REFNo: SS4462ES
The main objective is to examine how informational programs can promote co-existence in forest management practices by evaluating their impact on forest community attitudes and conservation behaviors. Precisely.Specific objectives
1. Assess the influence of targeted awareness interventions on forest community members' knowledge of the benefits of optimal forest cover by measuring changes in awareness levels over a 12-month period.
2. Determine the impact of conservation information on the willingness of forest community members to engage in sustainable forest biomass care, quantified by changes in self-reported willingness and observed conservation actions within six months of intervention.
3. Evaluate the behavioral changes in conservation practices among the forest community, specifically tracking actions like reduced logging and increased forest maintenance over 18 months, to establish a direct link between informational programs and sustainable forest stewardship.

Farmer Perceptions and Preferences for Perennial Sorghum in the Drylands of
Eastern Uganda
REFNo: A659ES
General objective:
To generate knowledge for the promotion of the adoption of perennial sorghum varieties.
Specific Objectives:
1. Identify the agronomic traits most valued by smallholder farmers in perennial sorghum varieties, such as yield, drought resistance, maturity period, and ease of harvesting, to guide the development of locally adapted perennial sorghum lines.
2. Analyze the socio-cultural perceptions and attitudes of smallholder farmers toward perennial sorghum, and to examine how gender dynamics, household decision-making, and youth involvement influence the adoption of perennial sorghum cropping systems.
3. Assess the key barriers and opportunities for the adoption of perennial sorghum among smallholder farmers, including factors such as access to seeds, labor requirements, market access, and the availability of agricultural support services.
4. Investigate the economic dynamics influencing the adoption of perennial sorghum, including market access, price trends, income generation, and the potential for value-added products, to determine the economic viability of perennial sorghum systems for smallholder farmers.
5. Evaluate the role of agricultural extension services, public and private institutions, and other stakeholders in supporting smallholder farmers in the adoption and management of perennial sorghum, with a focus on the effectiveness of training and access to resources.
