Surveillance, Control and Prevention of Neglected Zoonotic Diseases in Uganda - A case study of Rift Valley Fever (RVF), Crimean-Congo Hemorrhagic Fever (CCHF) and Brucellosis at the Human-Animal-Wildlife Interface in Diverse Agricultural systems
REFNo: HS2053ES
Overall objective
To improve understanding and control of RVF, CCHF and Brucellosis using enhanced surveillance systems and a One Health approach at the human-animal-wildlife interface in the cattle corridor of Uganda.
2.2 Specific Objectives
Five specific objectives will contribute to achievement of the overall objective. The first two will explore the natural history of the three infections while the third will explore socio-cultural factors affecting disease epidemiology. The final two specific-objectives relate to developing interventions based on the findings of specific-objectives 1-3.
2.2.1 Natural History of the Infections
1. Investigate the burden of RVF, CCHF and Brucellosis at the human-animal-wildlife interface.
2. Describe dynamics and drivers of spill-over events/epidemics at human-animal-wildlife interfaces in diverse agricultural systems.
2.2.2 Exploring Socio-cultural Factors relating to disease spread
3. Undertake a gender and inequalities analysis of knowledge, attitude, and practices of transmission dynamics of CCHF, RVF and Brucellosis at the human –animal –wildlife interface.
2.2.3 Developing Interventions
4. Design One Health centered models for the Control and Prevention of RVF, CCHF and Brucellosis in Uganda that can be adapted for other zoonoses of global significance.
5. Develop sustainable One Health disease surveillance and reporting system in order to support need for development a One Health policy

Well-being and Experience of Ugandan Students.
REFNo: SS1184ES
To determine the medium-term effects of the Malengo program on the students who attend in terms of labor market outcomes, job choice, income, and country of residence and the effect on their psychological well-being (e.g. homesickness, life satisfaction)
To establish How the demand for ISAs compare to demand for student loans
What are the immediate and medium-term effects of the program on the families of selected students, e.g. in terms of remittances received, psychological well-being (e.g. pride, but also missing a child), aspirations, and/or disappointment of siblings? What are the effects on the home communities of the students, e.g. in terms of aspirations and/or disappointment of friends and neighbors?

Strengthening Women Smallholders’ Resilience to Agricultural Shocks for Enhanced Income Diversification and Empowerment in Uganda
REFNo: A179ES
• Document the characteristics and intensity of agricultural shocks experienced by rural women smallholder farmers in Uganda
• Examine smallholder women farmers’ ability to manage the risks associated with agricultural shocks.
• Design a mix of interventions and explore their complementarities in relation to enhancing women’s financial and agricultural resilience through the provision of good quality seed, fertilizer, improved agroeconomic practices, training and weather-based index insurance.
• Test which intervention mix will contribute to strengthening women’s capacity to adopt more resilient and dynamic farming systems and enhance their income/livelihood diversification.
• Engage rural men and community members to challenge the discriminatory social and gender norms that are against women’s economic autonomy

Payments in Primary and secondary schools implementing universal education programme in Uganda: Forms, effects and Accountability
REFNo: SS1164ES
The objective of the study is to enhance the evidence base on fees payments in primary and secondary schools implementing free education programmes to support the Ministry of Education and Sports (MoES) in making evidence-based decisions to streamline, standardise and regulate user fees in the country.
Specific objectives:
(i) Establish the nature and extent of fees payments in schools implementing UPE and USE programmes in Uganda.
(ii) Examine the determination, collection, utilisation and accountability arrangements of the fees collected in public primary and secondary schools in Uganda.
(iii) Determine the willingness of parents/caregivers to pay for public primary and secondary schooling in Uganda
(iv) Analyse how fees payment effects the education prospects of various categories of vulnerable children in Uganda
(v) Provide the MoES with recommendations for revising the UPE and USE financing frameworks, based on the findings of the primary research and analysis of the policy framework for education financing in Uganda.

REFNo: HS1840ES
i.To document the most frequently eaten vegetables and household prevalence of hyperglycemia in Ankole and Teso sub-regions of Uganda.
ii. To establish the phytochemical composition of selected most frequently eaten vegetables in relation to soil properties from the two regions
iii. To determine the hypoglycemic effect of crude extracts of the most frequently eaten vegetables per study region
iv. To determine the hypoglycemic phytochemical fractions from the most potent vegetable crude extract
v. To estimate the effective amount of the most active vegetables for prevention and management of hyperglycemia based on the animal (rat) model.
