The adoption of SOPETAR innovations in MNCH service implementation for Bushenyi and Rubirizi Districts.
REFNo: HS427ES
The study seeks to assess the adoption of SOPETAR (scan-orient-plan-equip-train-assess-reflect) innovations so as to identify the high impact components and areas of MNCH services in the existing health structures at the community, health facility, and district levels in Bushenyi and Rubirizi Districts. Specifically, this study aims to: 1) establish the attributes of SOPETAR innovations that were adopted in the existing MNCH services at district health centers in Bushenyi and Rubirizi districts and 2) document how the SOPETAR innovations have been integrated in the MNCH services at district health centers in Bushenyi and Rubirizi districts.

Representation and Responses: Refugee Voice in Uganda
(Note: this has changed in regards to comments from the MAKSSREC)
REFNo: SS344ES
This research aims to change the narrative on humanitarian communications research by focussing on the feedback of beneficiaries – who are the primary subjects in campaigns and photos. This study will employ a qualitative approach, focusing on content analysis and ethnography through structured/semi-structured interviews, surveys, and content analysis, covering three levels: representation, production, and reception (Dogra, 2009). There will be a focus on semiotics (Barthes, 1977), including photo elicitation techniques (Pink, 2009) for individuals in focus group discussions to provide feedback on INGO campaigns.
Primary evidence will come from work with participants in the Refugee Law Project’s (RLP) Media for Social Change (M4SC) Programme, which works in 11 sites across Uganda, including Kampala and the No White Saviors (NWS) organisation, which is an activist Instagram account working to change narratives about the global South.
Data will be focusing on two parts: beneficiary reaction to how refugees are represented in aid campaigns and their utilisation of social media and technology to amplify their own storytelling.
Secondary evidence will buttress this analysis by supporting the narrow case study of Uganda. To ensure quality and feasibility, academic research selection is limited to peer-reviewed journals. Research on this subject encompasses grey literature, academic literature, artistic works, and social media that primarily covers humanitarian emergencies and development campaigns and their relation to the West. Secondary sources derive from relevant literature, as well as INGO campaigns, websites, and social media accounts. Other visual data will be derived from identified grassroots advocacy groups that work to challenge the INGO dominant narrative.
