 DETERMINATION OF CROSS-SPECIES TRANSMISSION OF COVID-19 AT ANIMAL-HUMAN INTERFACE USING A ONE HEALTH APPROACH FOR IMPROVED DISEASE SURVEILLANCE AND CONTROL
REFNo: HS905ES

General Objectives
To assess existence of SARS-CoV-2 in domestic and wild animals (in Amuru/ Greater Rakai and UWEC) and corona virus antibody in humans (Amuru/ Greater Rakai) with no history of infection, using a one health approach.
Specific Objectives
• Assess prevalence of SARS-CoV-2 in wild, livestock and companion animals, which may act as reservoirs of the causative agent in areas with confirmed cases of COVID-19 in Uganda
• Assess prevalence of the virus-specific antibodies in humans with no known history of contact with confirmed COVID-19 cases
• To determine the genetic relatedness between the human virus isolates with those obtained from the animals in order to confirm cross-host species transmission in Amuru and Greater Rakai districts.

Evaluating the potential of point-of-collection chlorination and village savings and loans associations to improve water safety management in rural Uganda
REFNo: SIR47ES

1. To evaluate the effectiveness of an inline handpump chlorinator (PurAll 50H) at improving water safety.
2. To understand the contexts that are favorable for bundling maintenance and chlorination, and the contexts where bundling is not appropriate.
3. To understand the contexts where VSLA-managed “water funds” are successful at increasing financial resources available for handpump maintenance, and the contexts where this strategy is less effective.

 Health Systems Strengthening through person-centred care: development of a feasible and acceptable theory-based workforce approach to improve quality
REFNo: HS1000ES

i) To adapt the conceptual framework of person-centred care for serious illness (MONTHS 1-10).
ii) To determine professional views on the feasibility, acceptability and necessary requirements for health systems change to deliver person-centred and values-based care (MONTHS 11-12).
iii) To design a systems-oriented strategy to enhance the person-centredness of care based on evidence from objectives i+ii (MONTHS 13-16).
iv) To refine and determine psychometric properties of a brief measure of person-centredness for subsequent evaluation of the health systems strengthening strategy (MONTHS 17-24).

 “An exploration of groundnut Seed Quality Along the distribution chain in Uganda.”
REFNo: A109ES

The general objective of this study is to conduct an analysis of seed quality along the supply chain of groundnuts in Uganda. The selected crop for this study is important and the seed system is largely informal. Groundnuts is nearly 100% self-pollinating (98-99%) and farmers keep the seeds often beyond the recommended replacement period.
