Young Women and Men’s Aspirations and Resilience: Prospects for Livelihoods, Employment and Accountability before, during and beyond COVID – 19
REFNo: SS1093ES

The overall objective of this project is to explore and interrogate the aspirations and resilience of young women and men in Africa; how these may or may not have shifted through the COVID-19 crisis and the implications presented for public policy in Africa with case studies in Ethiopia, Ghana, Kenya, Nigeria, Rwanda, Senegal and Uganda. Specific objectives are to:
1. Examine Ugandan young women and men’s aspirations for their futures.
2. Identify and analyse gender and social norms that guide the lives and aspirations of young men and women in Uganda.
3. Establish whether young women and men’s aspirations have changed with the advent of COVID-19.
4. Analyse what the young women and men are experiencing in their lives and livelihoods in a COVID-19 world.
5. Determine the extent to which the various provisions, regulations and policies in the study countries are aligned with young women and men’s aspirations and ideas about what they see themselves doing in the future.
6. Document lessons learned about the adaptability and resilience of young women and men’s aspirations.

Controlled Trial of Game Changers: A Group Intervention to Train HIV Clients to be Change Agents for HIV Prevention in Uganda
REFNo: HS1896ES

1. To conduct a fully powered RCT of Game Changers to test intervention effects on the primary outcomes of increased HIV testing, reduced condomless sex, and decreased enacted HIV stigma among social network members of participating PLWH.
2. To test intervention effects on the secondary outcomes of reduced internalized HIV stigma, increased HIV serostatus disclosure, and increased viral load suppression among participating PLWH, and PrEP uptake among their social network members.
3. To examine whether increased HIV prevention advocacy by PLWH mediates intervention effects on their social network members’ increased HIV testing and condom use, and whether increased HIV disclosure by PLWH mediates intervention effects on social network members’ reduced HIV stigma.
4. To conduct a cost-effectiveness analysis of the intervention.
We will recruit 210 PLWH, randomizing 105 to the intervention and 105 to a no-intervention control

Addressing Child Trafficking and Slavery in Uganda (ACTS)
REFNo: SS871ES

1. The Standards of Care (SOC) workstream seeks to develop evidence-based nationwide standards of care for survivors and victims of trafficking and slavery. This will involve a desk-based evidence review, online surveys, workshops with the staff of civil society organisations, and analysis of survivor workshop and monitoring and evaluation data collected by project lead Hope for Justice.
2. The Network Strengthening (NSing) component seeks to engage key stakeholders to strengthen internal technical capacity for the Coalition against Trafficking in Persons in Uganda (CATIPU). The aim of this workstream is to increase the capacity of this network of counter-trafficking civil society organisations to improve prevention, protection prosecution and partnership outcomes and capacity for increased collaboration with wider government structures. Therefore, the Unit of Analysis is the network (see Section 12, page 8 below for more detail).
