Are our Children Learning? Uwezo Basic Assessment of Literacy and Numeracy.
REFNo: SS959ES

Uwezo Uganda intends to undertake the 2021 assessment of basic learning outcomes in literacy and numeracy in order that:
i) Independent evidence on learning levels in literacy and numeracy of children aged 4-16 in Uganda is generated.
ii) The data generated from conducting the learning assessments increases knowledge, awareness and understanding of policy actors, practitioners and the public of children’s learning outcomes and their distribution and that the evidence is used to improve resource allocation and the delivery of education.

Innovations to Address Rampant Vaccine Failures, Shortages and Low Uptake for Sustainable Livestock Disease Control and Productivity in Uganda
REFNo: A136ES

The Proposal is designed to address selected immunizable diseases that affect health and productivity of poultry, small ruminant and cattle in Uganda. The study objectives include;
1. To assess the current animal vaccine supply chain and identify actors, distribution channels, use and constraints that affects animal vaccine utilization in Uganda.
2. To evaluate the level of protective Gumboro & IB virus disease antibodies among vaccinated chicken flocks in commercial farms.
3. To assess the sero-conversion of FMD vaccine and strengthen vaccination efficacy monitoring lab service at Research Center for Tropical Diseases and Vector Control (RTC) Laboratory at COVAB.
4. To assess the current PPR vaccination regimen and the clinical performance of combined PPR- SGP virus vaccine under field situations in small ruminants and develop a vaccination technical framework for effective control of the two diseases in Uganda.
