 The Bureaucratisation of Legal Identities in colonial and post-colonial Uganda: A Socio-History of State Registration and Documentation of Individuals
REFNo: SS2227ES

My main objective is to generate original insights on the construction of bureaucratic knowledge and techniques of identification and their impact on state construction and practices of citizenship in Uganda. Our goal is to
1. Identify the (un)favourable contexts for the introduction of identification policies
2. Map the players involved in identification over time
3. Highlight the changes in the instruments of identification
4. Examine the circulation of these practices
5. Observe the impact of state identification and registration on the practices of citizenship and the relation to the state
At this stage of my research, I would like to focus on three non-exclusive lines of enquiry: the debate surrounding the first identity cards during late colonialism; the documentation of non-indigenous people, and in particular the citizenship crisis of Asians in the 1960s and 1970s; and finally, the intense periods of identification during electoral periods, and more specifically the processes of voter registration.

Nutrition Improvement and Livelihood Empowerment (NILE) impact study protocol: A cluster-randomized multi-level multisectoral intervention to improve nutrition in Uganda
REFNo: HS3566ES

The study aims to demonstrate the extent to which dietary diversity for women and young children are increased and undernutrition reduced among the intervention versus comparison areas. The findings of the evaluation study will be used to inform the government of Uganda and partners the effectiveness of the programme and to support learning.

Specific objectives of the study
• To evaluate impact by gathering, analysing and synthesising evidence to determine whether the multi-sector nutrition project results in improved nutrition status and dietary diversity among pregnant and lactating women, adolescents and children.

• To evaluate the quality of programme implementation and to inform refinements to intervention design and delivery.

• To understand the mechanisms of change by which the project activities impact key outcomes and nutritional status of children.

• To examine impact of economic empowerment to nutrition outcomes and food security

Supporting Nile tilapia production through the introduction of modern genomic and breeding tools for indigenous farmed strains in Uganda
REFNo: A388ES

1. Introducing individual fish identification tools to OWANMWAN Aquaculture Limited’s Nile tilapia hatchery. This will be through the introduction of affordable T-bar anchor tags. This will allow individual fish phenotype recording and evaluation as a selection candidate.
2. Genetic assessment of OWANMWAN Aquaculture Limited’s Nile tilapia breeding sub-populations (strains), to establish genetic diversity, inbreeding level and genomic admixture within and between the strains.
3. Quantitative genetic and phenotypic (mainly growth rate) characterization of the Nile tilapia strains currently maintained at OWANMWAN Aquaculture Limited hatchery as broodstock.
4. Genomic evaluation of OWANMWAN Aquaculture Limited’s current broodstock to evaluate genetic diversity and inbreeding rate of the three strains at the hatchery.
5. Establishing a genomics-informed diverse Nile tilapia founder breeding stock for subsequent selective breeding.
6.Identifying genomic regions underlying key traits such as growth rate in the indigenous farmed Nile tilapia farmed strains at OWANMWAN Aquaculture Limited hatchery.

Appraisal of opioids misuse among a vulnerable population in the western and central region of Uganda
REFNo: HS3486ES

1. To determine the origin of opioid abuse / misuse among vulnerable populations in western/central region of Uganda. 2. To determine epidemiological and psychopathological aspects of opioids abuse/misuse among women in western/central Uganda. 3. To evaluate the contribution of opioid abuse / misuse in western/central region of Uganda. 4. To determine knowledge, attitude and practices (KAP) among pharmaceutical and medical health professionals in western/central region of Uganda. 5. To comment on development of intervention strategies to improve knowledge on responsible use amongst Health care professionals (HCP) / patients.
