Investigating the role soils nutrients play in regulating soil greenhouse gas fluxes and nitrogen leaching from two contrasting ecosystems: a nutrient limited tropical forest and an intensively fertilized sugarcane plantation in Uganda.
REFNo: A46ES
This PhD study investigates how soil nutrients regulate soil greenhouse gas (GHG) fluxes and N leaching in a nutrient limited tropical forest and an intensively fertilized sugarcane plantation in northwestern Uganda. More specifically, the study aims to: (1) investigate how nutrient limitations affect soil GHG fluxes in a tropical rainforest, and (2) quantify how the conversion from natural forest to fertilizer-based sugarcane systems alters soil GHG fluxes, N leaching losses and nutrient use efficiency along a fertilizer intensification gradient (low, standard, and high fertilizer application)

Registry to study the demographics, socioeconomic and clinical factors, etiologies, pathophysiology, management, barriers to care, and outcomes of heart failure patients at St. Francis Hospital Nsambya.
REFNo: HS287ES
1. Estimate the incident rate of outcomes in HF patients in Uganda; assess social and lifestyle factors (incl. demographics, socioeconomic variables, clinical risk factors, diet, and health-related quality of life), etiologies and variations in treatment patterns that might influence mortality and morbidity.
2. Describe determinants of different HF phenotypes (HFpEF, HFrEF, and HF due to valvular heart disease and ALVD), and their management and outcomes.
3. Assess non-cardiac co-morbidities at enrolment, their incidence during the study, and how they influence outcomes from both cardiovascular and non-cardiovascular mortality and morbidity.
4. In a sub-study of approximately 50-60 patients, perform measures of frailty, cognitive and lung function, mental health, adherence to medication, and dietary assessment, with collection of blood and urine samples for central analysis, to further understand the pathophysiologic changes in HF and their relation to outcomes.
5. Describe patient and system barriers to HF care.

Religion and Community Caregivers in Uganda
REFNo: SS290ES
This research project investigates the overlapping fields of religion and social welfare provision in Uganda, with a focus on local community leaders who are caring for social welfare needs related to poverty and economic insecurity. It seeks to understand the role of religious beliefs, practices, and structures in the formation and success of such local community caregivers. It also seeks to evaluate the impact of local community caregivers relative to other types of social welfare providers within the religious and political fields. The aim is to produce several academic articles as well as an original book. This book would use portraits of Ugandan community caregivers to describe what makes such a person successful and how to emulate their efforts toward social transformation. It would also use these portraits as a means of instructing readers on the dynamics of religion and politics in post-colonial Africa.

From rural to digital: the rise of e-money in developing economies
REFNo: SS293ES
This research project looks at the uptake of mobile money services in a rural setting of west Uganda. The project seeks to understand, as per the key research question, how mobile money has a positive effect on poverty alleviation within the context of the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals and the G20’s commitments to financial inclusion for the unbanked? It further aims to understand whether mobile money is a transformational technology, offering value to its users, or a displacing technology that propagates social and economic disparity, privileging a few at the expense of the many? In response to these questions, the research will take a case study approach to explore and evaluate the user experience of mobile money services in the context of a poor, rural region where a high proportion of the community is unbanked.

Water user perceptions of the pre-paid meter system in the slums of Kampala: A Spatial and Institutional Analysi
REFNo: SS312ES
In Kampala-Uganda, the National Water and Sewerage Corporation (NWSC) is using pre-paid meter technology to provide water services to people living in slums. Shared PPM standpoints have been installed on both public and private land and can be used by anyone who has a token to access the system and can afford to pay for the water.
This study will investigate water users’ perceptions of the shared PPM system seeking to specifically uncover user insights on the processes of water access and withdrawal. To do that we will utilize GIS tools to map the shared PPMs within the slum and identify with users the different characteristics of the PPM system. In addition, we will investigate the different arrangements users have created to access tokens that could be used in the shared PPMs. At the end of the research, we may be able to identify some barriers to accessing and withdrawing water in the slums.
