A randomised controlled trial of darunavir versus dolutegravir and tenofovir versus zidovudine in second-line antiretroviral therapy regimens for the public health approach in sub-Saharan Africa, THE NADIA Trial
REFNo: HS333ES
The aims of this trial are: To determine whether a regimen of DTG with two NRTIs is non-inferior to a regimen of DRV/r with two NRTIs as second-line therapy in patients failing on an NNRTI-based first-line regimen in the setting of the public health approach in sub-Saharan Africa, with substantial NRTI cross-resistance.
To determine whether continuing tenofovir and lamivudine is non-inferior to switching to zidovudine and lamivudine in a second-line therapy regimen in patients failing on an NNRTI-based first-line regimen in the setting of the public health approach.

2. Understand the acceptability and optimal implementation of patient-level data collection (e.g. patient-reported outcome measures and patient-reported experience measures) using mHealth approaches in Uganda and Zimbabwe through patient and caregiver engagement
3. Determine information needs and pathways for leveraging evidence generated from mHealth approaches in service development in Uganda and Zimbabwe through health professional and service manager engagement
4. Determine information needs and pathways for leveraging evidence generated from mHealth approaches in policymaking in Uganda and Zimbabwe through policymaker engagement

IMPACT OF SYSTEMATIC EARLY TUBERCULOSIS DETECTION USING XPERT MTB/RIF ULTRA IN CHILDREN WITH SEVERE PNEUMONIA IN HIGH TUBERCULOSIS BURDEN COUNTRIES
REFNo: HS331ES
To evaluate the impact on all-cause mortality at 12 weeks of adding systematic early detection of TB with Xpert MTB/RIF Ultra performed on one NPA and one stool sample to the WHO standard of care (SOC) in young children with severe pneumonia, followed by immediate anti-TB treatment initiation in children with a positive Ultra result, in high TB incidence countries, as compared to the SOC alone.

The Effect of Participation and Alignment on the Sustainability of Development Aid: Evidence from a Field Experiment of a Household Water Treatment and Safe Storage Project in Uganda
REFNo: SS285ES
The purpose of this study is to explore the ways in which development aid can become more sustainable and effective. Among others, this study focuses on the impact of participation and alignment on the stainability of aid projects. However, it would be futile to directly ask stakeholders about their opinions on the contested impact of participation and alignment on sustainability because their opinions are driven more by ideology than by analysis. Therefore, this study uses a specific, concrete field situation where abstract relationships between participation, alignment and sustainability can be translated into actual behaviours.

Variation in the leaf-tools of wild chimpanzees: Budongo Forest Reserve
REFNo: NS77ES
This research examines leaf-tool use and repertoire in the Budongo Forest Reserve, Uganda. In the forest, there are two habituated chimpanzee communities: Waibira, where habituation started in 2011, and Sonso, where habituation started in 1990. Both groups have a unique tool repertoire, without any stick or stone based tools, as opposed to those described at other long-term chimpanzee field sites. Additionally, the Waibira group faces an unusual ecological pressure during the dry season, when, despite being a forest living group, all permanent sources of water dry up. Describing their tool repertoire and investigating how it differs from the neighbouring Sonso community, who have permanent water sources all year around, will shed light on the ecological and social pressures driving the development of tool use.
The project aims to provide a detailed description of the leaf-tool use of the Waibira chimpanzees of the Budongo forest, during the dry season lasting from December to end of February. Other aims are to determine variables that influence the use of leaf-tools, accurately measure leaf tools, and draw a developmental timeline for the most common type of leaf-tool, leaf-sponging. This will allow for detailed description of the leaf-tools of the community.
