Sustainable Off-Grid Solutions for Pharmacies and Hospitals in Africa (SophiA).
Sub-component 1: Needs Assessment of Hospitals/Health Centre IVs for the Sustainable Off-Grid Solutions
Sub-component 2: Socio-Economic Acceptance and Participation Assessment for Stakeholders
Sub-component 3: Life Cycle Assessment and Sustainability Assessment
REFNo: SS1627ES
Goal of the SophiA Project: To bring environmental, economic, social and health benefits, creating new business and job opportunities through new technological solutions; to support African countries to pursue sustainable pathways of development through a low-carbon, climate resilient and green growth trajectory, leapfrogging fossil fuels and high GWP refrigerant technologies; and to improve the quality of life of populations through better treatment and working conditions in rural and remote health facilities in Africa.
Specific Objectives of the Proposed Studies:
i) To assess the needs from several health stations in order to identify and match the most significant and suitable health station which can be served by one SophiA system, considering different uses, replicability, cost and constraints as pertains energy consumption and solar radiation.
ii) To assess the level of acceptance of the SophiA technological solutions by the relevant stakeholders including beneficiary communities, local leaders, health care providers and managers, district officials, and national level decision makers/policy makers.
iii) To conduct a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) to evaluate the different environmental impacts and calculate the CO2 emissions for each of the SophiA technology: solar thermal, solar PV, thermal storage, electrical storage, ice storage, refrigerators).

A National Survey to Determine the Prevalence of Latent and Active Tuberculosis, COVID-19 and HIV Among Prisoners and Prisons Staff in Uganda Prisons
REFNo: HS2373ES
Overall objective
To determine the burden and associated factors of TB, COVID-19, and HIV among inmates and staff in Uganda prisons in order to generate evidence that will inform future interventions.
Primary objectives
i. To estimate the prevalence and associated factors of LTBI among inmates and staff in the Uganda prisons.
ii. To determine the prevalence and associated factors of active TB disease among inmates and staff in Uganda prisons.
iii. To determine the current burden of COVID-19 among prisoners and staff using an integrated TB and COVID-19 screening and testing approach.
iv. To establish the burden of past COVID-19 infection among prisoners and staff in Uganda prisons.
v. To determine the prevalence of HIV among inmates and staff in Uganda prisons.
vi. To determine HIV program achievement and gaps in the Uganda Prisons in reference to the UNAIDS targets for HIV testing, positive individuals who are on treatment, and PLHIV with suppressed viral load (95-95-95).
