REFNo: SS176ES
1. Policy objective:
Uncover and clearly illustrate any institutional challenges of the Human-Wildlife Conflict Resilience Fund (HWCRF) project that may exist which are unique to Uganda’s Albertine rift region (UAR) in order to (a) strengthen the long-term implementation of the HWCRF project and (b) provide lessons learned for other governments and communities looking to implement human-wildlife conflict (HWC) financial instruments within similar geographies.
2. Academic objective:
Contribute to the literature by bridging HWC insurance research outside of Sub-Saharan Africa with previous studies on HWC within UAR which have yet to formally analyze HWC financial instruments.

No One Left Behind? A Study on the Human Rights of Women Living With HIV/AIDS in Uganda
REFNo: SS140ES
A study on adult women living with HIV/AIDS in Uganda. The study will include an examination of how women’s rights are integrated into HIV/AIDS-related laws, policies, programs, and initiatives in Uganda. We will further examine any challenges that women may face in family life, healthcare settings, or in the workplace because of their status, as well as any distinction in the experiences of women in urban versus rural settings. We hope that this research will help support the achievement of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 3 – good health and well-being and 5 gender equality.

Smallholder Farmers’ Returns and Learning from Subsidized Inputs in Uganda

Dual articulation in the communication system of chimpanzees
REFNo: NS47ES
The emergence of combinatoriality (phonology and syntax) in human language represents one of the key evolutionary transitions in life (Maynard Smith & Szathmary 1995). Despite its significance, we know very little regarding how unique this capacity is to humans or the evolutionary progression of this trait. By searching for core features of language, such as its combinatoriality, in the communication systems of closely related species to humans, particularly the primates, it is possible to shed light on whether the components of language are de novo evolved traits in humans or whether they have their origins rooted in the primate lineage.
With this project, I aim to shed light on how unique combinatorics is to human language through empirically investigating the presence of linguistic forms of phonology and syntax in our closest living relative, the chimpanzee.
