One Health Timeliness Metrics: Stakeholder Experiences in Multisectoral Outbreak Reporting
REFNo: HS2255ES

The general objective of this proposal is to evaluate timeliness, or speed of detection and response, during multisectoral outbreak events in Uganda. Quantitative and qualitative analyses of One Health timeliness metrics will be used to make recommendations for a One Health outbreak reporting tool designed to monitor progress toward finding and responding to outbreaks faster.

Value chain based Taenia solium control in Northern Uganda (Research activity being applied for: Rapid value chain scoping)
REFNo: SS1296ES

The overall goal is to develop and trial a locally acceptable and appropriate value chain-based control program against T. solium codesigned through an inclusive participatory approach and tailored for the project area. Specifically, the project has the following objectives of which Objective 1 is the subject of this application. 1. Assess, describe, and map the pig value chain and the context for the control of T. solium in four districts (Kitgum, Pader, Lamwo and Agago districts) in Northern Uganda. 2. Conduct social network analysis to map movement of pigs within the districts to understand where they (farmers, traders, transporters, pork joint operators, butchers) get pigs and where most of the pigs are slaughtered to enable proper targeting of the interventions especially those targeting pork joints and consumers. 3. To utilize social network analysis and ‘net-mapping’ techniques to identify stakeholders essential in the control of T. solium and understand their relationships, power-dynamics, motivations 4. In a participatory manner with the stakeholders, identify best bet interventions to control Taenia solium and improve the value chain 5. To conduct an ex-ante impact assessment to understand the impacts of the proposed interventions 6. To implement a set of locally acceptable control strategies against Taenia solium infections targeted at various nodes of the pig value chain including market-based incentives to support uptake. 7. Conduct an ex-post impact assessment of the intervention in reducing the burden of Taenia solium infections and improving profitability of pig enterprises The current application is for activities under objective 1 (Assess, describe, and map the pig value chain in four districts (Kitgum, Pader, Lamwo and Agago districts) in Northern Uganda). For the subsequent activities we will be making separate applications or amendments and attaching the necessary documents.

PREVENTION AND SCREENING INNOVATION PROJECT TOWARDS ELIMINATION OF CERVICAL CANCER
REFNo: HS2222ES

1. To measure cost-effectiveness of the enhanced screening protocol programme,1. To evaluate if artificial intelligence offers the healthcare worker (HCW) reliable management decision support in the interpretation of cervical lesions during screening with visual inspection with acetic acid.,1. To evaluate the impact of the enhanced screening module on the uptake and coverage of cervical cancer screening and on the uptake of early treatment of precancerous lesions in the target area,1. To measure health system related factors for availability and quality of the health system for the enhanced cervical screening programme (including hrHPV testing and AI-DSS systems).,1.1. To measure, client related factors for accessibility, acceptability as well as adherence to the enhanced cervical cancer screening programme among the target population eligible for cervical cancer screening,The overall objective of the PRESCRIP-TEC project is to enrich existing cervical cancer screening programmes with women-friendly and cost-effective tools, and test in field conditions whether and why they are effective in increasing participation in cervical cancer screening in vulnerable groups in Central and Eastern Europe and in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). ,

Uganda Livelihood Coping Strategies and Severity Ranking, 2022.
REFNo: SS1298ES

This study aims to identify LCS that best signal stressed, crisis, emergency, and catastrophe levels of acute food insecurity (IPC Phases 2–5) among households in the Uganda RFZ and the livelihood zone clusters in it. These ranked lists will be used to inform the full resilience module of forthcoming USAID-supported resilience and food security assessments in Uganda.
