Strengthening Agroecology-based School and College Food Procurement Programs in East and Southern Africa
REFNo: A696ES
General Objective
The project aims to achieve two overarching goals: first, to improve learners’ access to healthy and nutritious food by strengthening local, agroecological school food procurement practices, ensuring consistent, diverse, and nutrient-rich meals while supporting local farmers and resilient food systems; and second, to drive policy transformation for sustainable and inclusive school feeding by promoting gender equality and social inclusion and integrating agroecological principles, local sourcing, and participatory governance into school food policies.
Specific Objectives
1. To improve the understanding of how existing school feeding systems affect income generation, gender equality and inclusion, climate resilience, and local food security, through participatory action research in selected schools.
2. To pilot and refine agroecology-based school feeding models in collaboration with schools, communities, and smallholder farmers to test their effectiveness and feasibility.
3. To increase women’s and youth empowerment through enhanced participation and decision-making in the governance of local school food systems and agroecological food value chains.
4. To generate evidence-based recommendations for policy integration and scaling of successful agroecology-based school feeding models to promote sustainable, inclusive, and agroecologically informed school feeding programmes.

Investigating direct and indirect pathways between climate and mental health and wellbeing and development and testing of localized, impact-based early warning systems for climate vulnerable communities in Uganda, Tanzania, and Kenya
REFNo: SS4713ES
Objective 1:
To analyze and compare the prevalence and frequency of extreme weather events (EWEs) in 18 vulnerable communities using triangulated meteorological data from public sources and data collected from local weather stations over a 9-month baseline period.
Objective 2:
To conduct monthly household-level surveys with 103 women from each of the 18 communities to document their experiences of EWEs, thereby developing localized impact-based thresholds that reflect the specific impacts of these events on community members.
Objective 3:
To examine the relationships between climate conditions, as indicated by the impact-based thresholds from Objective 2, and measures of mental health, well-being, and interpersonal violence using modified vector autoregressive (VAR) analysis on data collected from monthly surveys.
Objective 4:
To implement a step-wedge cluster randomized control trial assessing the effects of a localized early warning system (EWS) on women's mental health, well-being, and interpersonal violence in the 18 vulnerable communities, with half receiving the EWS for the first 9 months and all receiving it for the subsequent 9 months.

Evaluation of a Clinical Decision-Support App for Emergency Care in a Rural Ugandan Hospital: A Pilot Randomized Crossover Simulation Trial
REFNo: HS6836ES
The primary objective is to determine whether the newly developed OASES clinical decision-support App improves frontline clinicians’ adherence to evidence-based World Health Organization (WHO) and Uganda Clinical Guidelines during the management of simulated emergency cases of diarrhea, dyspnea, and seizures in a rural outpatient department. The secondary objectives are to assess whether the OASES App improves triage accuracy using the Interagency Integrated Triage Tool, diagnostic accuracy at both the initial and post-investigation stages, and the appropriateness of disposition decisions; to determine whether App use enhances clinicians’ process quality by increasing adherence to guideline-recommended history taking and physical examination; to compare time required to complete simulated emergency cases under App-assisted versus standard practice conditions; to evaluate usability, perceived usefulness, trust, satisfaction, and feasibility of the App through structured questionnaires and qualitative interviews.
