Evaluating the pilot of the Community Health Extension Worker (CHEW) strategy in Uganda: assessing feasibility, and effectiveness for improving Village Health Team (VHT) supervision and reporting
REFNo: HS2545ES
General Objective
To explore the acceptability, document the implementation process and evaluate the effectiveness of the Community Health Extension Worker strategy in two districts of Uganda to guide improving the community health system
Specific Objectives
1) To assess the acceptability of introducing a Community Health Extension Worker (CHEW) strategy in a district health system.
2)To document the process of setting up and implementing a Community Health Extension
Worker (CHEW) strategy within a district health system.
3) To estimate the program costs and duration for setting up a government-led Community Health Extension Worker (CHEW) strategy within a district health system.
4) To determine the effectiveness of the CHEW strategy for improving the quality of Village Health Team (VHT) member’s supervision and reporting in a district health system.
5) To assess the effect of the CHEW strategy on community-level indicators: completion of four antenatal care visits, skilled delivery attendance, fully immunized under-fives, and U5 sick children seen by VHTs and treated within 24 hours.

One Health approach to identify local drivers of antimicrobial drug resistance in peri-urban Kampala, Uganda
REFNo: HS2377ES
1: Identify local drivers of antimicrobial resistance in poultry farms in Uganda through a case-control study
2a: Assess the level of antibiotic use and antibiotic resistance on a selected poultry farm by sampling litter, soil, and chicken ceca or cloaca for microbiological, analytical chemistry, and microbiome analysis.
2b: Assess the level of antibiotic use and antibiotic resistance in human populations directly exposed to poultry or poultry products from the farm.
3. Assess the level of antibiotic use and antibiotic resistance in environmental samples collected from soil, water bodies and vegetable gardens close to the poultry farm and in exposed human populations.
