Optimization of an environmental sampling approach integrating network models and nanopore portable sequencing for foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) risk-based surveillance in endemic settings (OpEns-FMD)
REFNo: A217ES
1. Analyze the circulation of FMDV in livestock markets and livestock transport vehicles.
2. Assess the potential of use portable sequence-based technology to generate detailed FMDV molecular epidemiology data on FMDV.
3. Evaluate local factors and practices that might be connected to FMDV circulation.
4. Compare the results obtained from environmental samples to those obtained from cattle in the same settings.

Determining methods to assess the impact of human activity on stress behaviour of free-ranging Leopards (Panthera pardus) and Lions (Panthera leo) in Queen-Elizabeth NP, Uganda
REFNo: NS390ES
The aim of the proposed research project is to determine behavioural criteria in leopards and lions that correlate with their current stress levels, especially if caused by human proximity. Knowledge derived from this study can help determine and prevent harmful human impact on large cats, as for example by tourism or construction work.

Gender, youth, market systems, energy needs, environmental and climate risk assessment for the SMILES (Sustainable Market Inclusive Livelihood Pathways to Self-Reliance) Project in Kyangwali and Kyaka II Refugee settlements
REFNo: SS1387ES
Objectives are per the following themes
1. Gender and youth sub-component
•Identify current livelihood options, coping strategies and opportunities for women and youth in green business or enterprises including innovations for improving their participation
•Explore the nature, magnitude, influence and impact of gender dynamics and related factors on livelihoods in refugee and host communities
•Understand the level of women’s access, use and ownership of Information and Communications Technology (ICT) and how existing ICTs could be leveraged for use in farming, business, and access to services
2. Market system diagnostic sub-component
a.To understand the market system, the context in which it operates, the various components of the system, the actors, opportunities, and the barriers;
b.To identify and analyse selected value chains taking into consideration the concept of refugee inclusion and resilience at heart.
3. Environmental and climate Risk assessment
a)Examine climate-related risks (drought, temperature increase, flooding, and or increase in weather volatility etc.) experienced in the proposed areas of implementation and their potential impact on the project’s intended outputs and outcomes;
b)Examine how the project may affect the environment and potentially increase vulnerability of the target population (disaggregated by age and sex) to climate change and other environmental shocks (maladaptation);
c)Identify measures to reduce vulnerability to climate-related risks, adapt to climate change and enhance environmental health and or productivity;
d)Identify opportunities for enhancing environmental health and promoting wider resilience and adaptation to climate change;
e)Identify and recommend eco-friendly value chains that have the potential to increase household incomes and wellbeing while enhancing environmental health and productivity.
4. Energy needs assessment
a)Understanding community practices (challenges and opportunities) and aspirations to solving energy needs
b)Assessing the level of community awareness about renewable energy benefits
c)Assessing availability, accessibility and affordability of renewable energy products in targeted refugee settlements and surrounding environs
d)Determining the level of utilization of clean energy by businesses and populations in the target area.
