Assessing local attitudes towards tourism and conservation at Bwindi Impenetrable national park, Uganda
REFNo: SS302ES
This master’s research aims to investigate if park tourism can improve attitudes of residents involved in small-scale tourism enterprises towards protected area conservation, by delivering economic development; using Bwindi Impenetrable National Park (BINP) in Uganda as a case study.
The research objectives are:
• Measure expectations of residents involved in small-scale tourism enterprises based on their experiences of park tourism.
• Evaluating if recent interventions to enhance small-scale tourism enterprises have increased economic benefits from park tourism and if this has improved attitudes towards PA conservation.
• Assess the sustainability of these interventions.
The research hypothesis is: ‘Local attitudes towards protected area conservation improve when residents involved in small-scale tourism enterprises receive benefits from park tourism’.
And the research questions I will ask to test this hypothesis & achieve the aim of this project are:
• What expectations do residents involved in small-scale tourism enterprises have of park tourism?
• Do local attitudes towards protected area conservation improve when residents involved in small-scale tourism enterprises receive benefits from tourism?
• Do people feel they are sufficiently trained to continue without further interventions?

IDENTIFICATION OF VIRULENCE FACTORS, TRANSMISSION PATTERNS AND ANTIBIOTIC RESISTANCE MECHANISMS OF EAST AFRICAN Vibrio cholerae ISOLATES BY WHOLE GENOME SEQUENCING
REFNo: HS338ES
Aim: To obtain whole genome sequences (WGS) of Vibrio cholera O1 isolated in various parts of Uganda from 2014 to 2018 and use the data to determine the evolution, spread, antimicrobial resistance mechanisms and pathogenesis of the isolates
Specific objectives:
1. Determine patterns of spread of V.cholerae O1 in Uganda and within the East African region using WGS
2.Infer relatedness and evolution of strains of V.cholerae O1 isolated in Uganda and the East African region from WGS data
3.Identify any uniqueness in virulence genes or their expression among strains of V.cholerae isolated in Uganda and the East African region from WGS data
4.Identify genes of antimicrobial resistance and infer prevailing mechanisms of antimicrobial resistance among V. cholerae O1 isolated in Uganda
