Delivery and use of poultry vaccines in Uganda: A systems mapping and field-level study
REFNo: A655ES
Overall Aim
To map and analyse the poultry vaccine supply system in Uganda, examining both upstream supply chain structures and downstream use behaviours, in order to identify institutional, logistical, and behavioural barriers to effective, equitable, and sustainable vaccine-based disease prevention.
Specific Objectives
Part A: Systems mapping
1. To map the structural and logistical flow of poultry vaccines in Uganda, from importation through distribution to the point of administration.
2. To examine institutional roles, interdependencies, and governance arrangements that influence vaccine regulation, quality control, and coordination.
3. To assess inequities in vaccine availability, cold chain access, pricing, and service delivery across geographic regions, institutional levels, and actor groups.
4. To co-develop stakeholder-informed recommendations for improving supply chain efficiency, regulatory coordination, and equitable vaccine access.
Part B: Field-level practices
1. To identify the most used poultry vaccines and their sourcing patterns at the farm level.
2. To evaluate compliance with recommended vaccine handling and administration practices among farmers, veterinary workers, and agro vets.
3. To explore behavioural drivers—including knowledge, perceptions, motivations, and decision-making—that influence vaccine uptake and misuse.
4. To assess the role of agro-vet shop interactions, veterinary advice, packaging/labelling, and social norms in shaping field-level behaviours.
To quantify key knowledge gaps, operational challenges, and access barriers that limit effective poultry vaccine use at the farm level.

Establishing baselines in fauna diversity, phenology and abundance in key biodiversity hotspots
across Uganda through collaborative research and capacity building
REFNo: NS889ES
Our project will sample birds and bats targeting biodiversity hotspots adjacent to and within
protected areas in Uganda. Through multiple visits across the next six years we plan to sample in
distinct biomes such as the North (Moroto, Kidepo valley, Agoro-agu, Morungole, Achwa)
Northeast (Pian Upe, Nakapiprit, Matheniko-Bokora), East (Mount Elgon, Loporokocho, Bukwo),
Northwest (Otzi forest, Ajai wildlife reserve, Luuku forest) southwest (Mgahinga, Bwindi and
around lake Victoria (Buvuma Island, Kalangala, Bugala). These regions are known to support
unique and often locally endemic species. In addition, many of these areas, such as the Kidepo and
the overall Karamoja regions, are notably understudied compared to regions in Western Uganda
