Investigating the enhancement of Nile tilapia breeding in Uganda through integration of modern aquaculture breeding and genetics tools
REFNo: A269ES

1)Support NAGRC&DB to improve its Nile tilapia breeding program via establishing individual fish identification and phenotyping system.
2)Investigate genetic health and diversity of Uganda’s farmed Nile tilapia breeding population in comparison to their wild relatives in the three major lakes (L. Victoria, L. Kyoga and L. Albert) in Uganda.
3)Estimate genetic parameters of key production traits (including growth rate, body length and harvest weight).
4)Identify genomic regions associated with production traits.
5)Investigate potentials of integrating genomic tools into selective breeding for improving Nile tilapia in Uganda.

School Management and Re-Enrolling Dropouts: Experimental Evidence from Schools in Rural Uganda
REFNo: SS1656ES

Which version of the program is more cost-effective in terms of gains to student learning: an intervention that assigns highly qualified university graduates to partner with community members to implement enrollment and remedial education activities, or an intervention where enrollment and remedial education activities are executed by community members alone? ,What is the effect of a school management intervention targeted towards the head teacher on school inputs (administrator time use and other measures of school functionality such as teacher attendance) and outputs (enrollment and learning, as measured by literacy and numeracy test scores)?,
