Impact evaluation of two youth skill development interventions as part of the Employment for Development (E4D) program of the German Corporation for International Cooperation (GIZ)
REFNo: SS397ES
The objective of the investigation is to identify interventions implemented by the German Development Corporation program E4D/SOGA that work and have the potential to be scaled up. The E4D/SOGA funds and implements a large portfolio of interventions in Uganda – comprising a total budget of EUR 10,700,000. In this light, we intend to evaluate the effectiveness of two E4D/SOGA programs. The investigation will give guidance on policy decisions by highlighting the relevance of short-course technical skills trainings, work readiness skills and labor market attachment via internship placement.

THE AFRICAN RESEARCH COLLABORATION ON SEPSIS IN UGANDA (ARCS-UGANDA) COHORT STUDY: AN OBSERVATIONAL STUDY TO IMPROVE UNDERSTANDING OF SEPSIS EPIDEMIOLOGY, DEFINITIONS, HOST IMMUNE RESPONSE AND COSTS OF HOSPITAL CARE IN UGANDAN ADULTS
REFNo: HS511ES
General Objective:
To describe adult sepsis prevalence and incidence, validate sepsis definitions, characterize AMR, describe short- and long- term morbidity and mortality, identify host response to sepsis and quantify hospital costs using a cohort of adult patients with suspected sepsis admitted to hospitals in Uganda
Specific objectives:
1. Determine the epidemiologic characteristics, AMR characteristics, clinical outcomes (including morbidity, mortality and frequency of readmission after discharge from the hospital) and attributable costs from suspected sepsis in Ugandan hospitals
2. Evaluate performance characteristics of extant sepsis definitions/criteria when applied to a cohort of adult patients who fulfil study eligibility criteria for sepsis in Uganda
3. Characterize pathways of sepsis pathogenesis through exemplar pro-inflammatory (through neutrophil respiratory burst activity) and immunosuppressive (through HLA-DR) markers and agnostic transcriptomic analysis in a Ugandan sepsis cohort with a high prevalence of HIV infection.

Behavioral endocrinology of male dispersal in vervet monkeys (Chlorocebus pygerythrus) at Lake Nabugabo, Uganda
REFNo: NS84ES
Evolutionary causes and consequences (or the “whyâ€) of dispersal are fairly well established, bein respectively inbreeding avoidance and increased reproductive success (Bowler & Benton, 2005). However, the environmental, social, individual, and physiological proximate mechanisms underlying individual dispersal decisions, and their consequences, are still poorly understood. Previous studies have mainly focused on the individual’s physiological response to
8
dispersal events (before and after) and looked at the social outcome (e.g., dominance rank) rather than the processes leading to that outcome. For this research, my objectives are to examine how the numerous potential costs of dispersal drive individual dispersal decisions as to when, where, and how they transfer (lone or parallel). I will assess the environmental, social, and physiological causes and consequences of dispersal in vervet monkeys at Lake Nabugabo. My hypotheses and predictions are summarized in Table 2. Dominance rank is often established once a male immigrates into another group. The males’ ability to take over a group and the attainment of a high dominance rank might be dependent on when, where, and how they disperse. My research contributes to a broader understanding of how the immediate environmental, social, and individual factors affect the way they transfer.
