Management of Agricultural Indigenous Knowledge in Agricultural Research Organizations in Uganda.
REFNo: SS739ES
1. To establish the efforts of AR4D organizations towards AIK management
2. To examine how AR4D researchers’ perceptions of AIK influence their attitudes towards AIK management
3. To assess how facilitating conditions influence AIK management efforts in AR4Ds
4. To explore strategies that can enhance AIK management in AR4Ds to prevent continued AIK loss and increase possibilities for its access and utilization in agricultural development.

Understanding Drivers of Antimicrobial Resistance Among Mothers and Children in Uganda (DRUM+)
REFNo: HS1185ES
Understanding Drivers of Antimicrobial Resistance Among Mothers and Children in Uganda (DRUM+)
Specific Objectives:
Determine the prevalence of ESBL-E and ESBL-K bloodstream infections (BSI) and colonization among peripartum women and neonates/children < 5yo hospitalized with suspected sepsis.
2. Among peripartum women and neonates/children < 5yo hospitalized for suspected sepsis, determine the clinical outcomes, including morbidity (e.g., incidence of chronic kidney disease), mortality percentage (in-hospital and up to 4 months after the date of hospitalization) and frequency of readmission up to 4 months after the date of hospitalization.
3. Determine whether there is a molecular epidemiologic linkage between household carriage (including humans, associated domestic animals, and environment) of ESBL-E and ESBL-K AND patients (peripartum women or neonates/children < 5yo) hospitalized with sepsis who have ESBL-E and ESBL-K BSI or colonization.
4. Among patients (peripartum women or neonates/children < 5yo) hospitalized with sepsis who have ESBL-E and ESBL-K BSI or colonization, evaluate drivers of AMR transmission in Uganda (e.g., directionality of transmission and independent risk factors for transmission) using a dynamic agent-based model incorporating their microbiologic resistance data AND the data from linked households describing microbiological resistance and WASH observations.

Outcomes of Vascularised Fibula Flaps for Reconstruction of Segmental Bone Defects at CoRSU Rehabilitation Hospital
REFNo: HS1203ES
General Objectives
To assess if vascularised fibula flap surgery for long segmental bone defects results in good outcomes for patients with an acceptable complication profile.
Specific objectives
1.To determine the functional and aesthetic outcomes of vascularised fibula flaps for treatment segmental bone defects from osteomyelitis.
2.To determine outcomes of use of vascularized fibula flap in reconstruction for pseudarthrosis of the tibia, benign tumor, trauma and infection
3.To determine the complications related to the use of vascularized fibula flap in the patient populations of infection, trauma, tumour, and pseudarthrosis.

The impact of value chain participation for smallholder farmers: evidence from the coffee sector in Uganda
REFNo: SS754ES
This proposal builds on our earlier work by trying to answer a logical follow-up question. Given what we know, namely: (i) supply side interventions tend to raise adoption rates (although the effect sizes are typically modest) but at best tend to have a marginal effect on farmer income, (ii) improved market access (a demand intervention) resulted in upgrading and large positive effect on both farm profit and productivity, but quantitatively small effects on adoption rates, there may be important complementarities between the supply and demand side.
The main objective of this study is to study the impact on productivity (yield) and income (farm profit) of relaxing both supply constraints and a demand constraint (access to a market for quality produce). Or in other words, what is the impact on productivity and income of farmers gaining access to a market where quality produce is paid a premium (i.e. participates in a high-value chain) and at the same time get access to subsidized inputs? By studying such complementarities between demand and supply factors, our proposed study is unique.
