 The Effects of Cassava Drying Technology on Commercialization and Consumption Smoothing
REFNo: SS1700ES

The main goals of the pilot RCT are to ascertain the technical efficiency of the machines, the viability of the model where agents operate the machines and charge a fee for drying, and to observe how harvest and sales timing, consumption and cropping decisions change when farmers gain access to drying technology. In addition, we will explore additional mechanisms including varying the contract structure, and getting a sense of which channels are most salient to focus on (e.g. how likely we would be to detect effects on intertemporal smoothing beyond addressing the barriers to adoption to a seemingly profitable technology).

Violence and Regime Trajectories in Post-Conflict Uganda and Rwanda
REFNo: SS1413ES

This study is driven by two important objectives: the first is the need to consider the influence of a “residue” social structure. What the cases of Uganda and Rwanda tell us is that, without understanding the underlying socio-political agency of the political regime and the armed elites that run it (and without knowing who their allies are or what the sources of constraints in that process are), it is difficult to resolve the socio-political problems that trouble most postwar states on the continent. The second is the need to show how post-war reconstruction in Africa is a function of elite interactions. The failure to understand this phenomenon has left post-conflict societies more vulnerable to conflict relapse. By investigating the interface of power elites in post-war state reconstruction, this research situates itself within a more empirical and contemporary African perspective and elevates the importance of social actors, specifically those whose actions reflect the intractability of power struggle. Specifically, the research seeks to achieve the following objectives:

 To understand the process of post-conflict state reconstruction in Uganda and Rwanda
 To understand factors that may hinder or enable the rebuilding of state institutions after a civil war.
 To compare the experience of Uganda and Rwanda with regards to how they both approached state reconstruction after a devastating civil war.
 To determine the nature and impact of policies taken by state-builders in both Uganda after the 1986 civil war and Rwanda after the 1991 genocide.

 Prevalence and predictors of antimicrobial resistance in clinical- and community-acquired upper respiratory bacterial samples in children under 5 in south-western Uganda
REFNo: HS2625ES

Upper respiratory infections are the second leading cause of death in children under 5 in Uganda, and account for 40% of all under-5 outpatient attendance at clinics and hospitals nationwide in Uganda. As bacterial cultures of lung aspirates are often not practical, the WHO recommends using a rapid breathing and chest wall in-drawing to diagnose pneumonia in children under 5, and recommends treatment with oral amoxicillin or co-trimoxazole, or intramuscular penicillin. The only study of anti-microbial resistance (AMR) in nasopharyngeal bacteria in Uganda comes from healthy children in the Iganga/Mayuge region (Eastern Uganda), where the authors found that one-third of children were given a self-prescribed antibiotic within the past two weeks for fever, running nose, or cough, that 60% carried Streptococcus pneumoniae, and that a high proportion (80% to 99%) of cultures were resistant to co-trimoxazole, penicillin, and oxacillin. At Bwindi Community Hospital, suspected acute respiratory infections accounted for 75% of all under-5 outpatient diagnoses in 2015/2016, and are the most common reason for under-5 admissions to the Pediatrics Ward (e.g., 34% of 830 admissions in 2015/2016). In addition, the majority of antibiotics prescribed for both children and adults were for suspected acute respiratory illness (5,273 of 17,910 prescriptions). Our proposed study seeks to build on previous work concerning Antimicrobial Resistance in the developing world with a specific focus, on clinical- and community-acquired upper respiratory bacterial infections in children under 5 in southwestern Uganda, and it will be the first to analyse spatio-temporal patterns of resistance and explicitly link those patterns to cultural and social characteristics and behaviours on the ground as well as healthcare infrastructure. We propose a multi-layered study to; 1) Analyze the prevalence and spatial associations of antibiotic resistance in nasopharyngeal bacterial isolates from children under 5 in the Bwindi Community Hospital (BCH) catchment area for a year in Kanungu District, Southwestern Uganda. 2) Assess the use of antibacterial drugs at home to treat acute respiratory illness in these children from children under 5 in the Bwindi Community Hospital (BCH) catchment area in Kanungu District 3) Assess practices of antibiotic distribution at drug shops in the BCH catchment region.

REFNo: HS2614ES

The study has two aims, each with subsequent research questions: Aim 1: To explore how policy makers, health providers, and caregivers define, understand and experience service integration and the potential implications for clubfoot treatment. (Qualitative) • How do health care providers define and experience service integration, and what are the impacts of integration on their day-to-day clinical operations, workflow, and roles? • How do district- and national-level bureaucrats and donors understand integration, and how does that shape integration of clubfoot treatment? • How do caregivers understand and experience integration, and how does it impact their child’s treatment? • How is the NCPU financed and what relationship does financial contribution have with integration? Aim 2: To improve understanding of how the CAST mobile health application (CAST) impacts health providers’ behavior, and what potential impacts the CAST could have on service quality. (Mixed) • What is the reach and adoption rate of CAST and its components among eligible Ugandan providers? • How might CAST modify provider behavior at the facility level, both for clubfoot treatment and other services? • How might the CAST facilitate quality of care and patient treatment? o How do supportive services from MiracleFeet/CoRSU contribute to this? (e.g. training, supportive supervision, help desk) o How does data from and usage of the Cast Community contribute to this? • What is the potential future of the CAST if external support is withdrawn from clubfoot treatment and all services are fully managed by the public sector?
