GENDER REFORMS AND POLITICAL SYSTEMS IN UGANDA
REFNo: SS2985ES
The broad objective is to put in context the emerging gender programming reforms in Uganda, particularly the persistent narrative that despite the success in policies that promote women in governance, leadership and employment roles, women voices continue to lag behind.
As a secondary objective, the survey also seeks to increase our understanding of how physical and psychological violence targeting political candidates impacts adult Ugandans’ willingness to engage in electoral politics.

Evaluation of the Pathways out of Poverty (POP) project in the Kitagwenda and Rakai districts of Uganda
REFNo: SS3052ES
1. Assessing the achievement of objectives: The evaluation aims to assess whether POP\'s objectives are achieved, including increasing household income to $2.25/day, reducing the average household Poverty Probability Index score to 22 or less, and ensuring that 60% of households feel their quality of life has improved within 24 months of each cohort\'s initiation.
2. Estimating causal impact: On priority outcomes for HWG - including grow and net household income, household asset endowment, coffee revenue and profits, best practice adoption and yield – the goal is to determine whether it is possible to establish causal inference on the effects of the program on these variables.
3. Conducting heterogeneous treatment effects analysis: The evaluation will analyze variances in the estimated treatment effect across different demographic groups, with a focus on geographic, economic, social and gender factors.
4. Understanding pathways of change: Core to HWG’s agenda is identifying which project components are vital for driving primary outcomes. The evaluation will aim to dissect the project’s multifaceted initiatives to delineate the most impactful pathways tied to changes in income and agricultural productivity.
5. Determining the importance of coffee: With HWG placing a strong emphasis on the role of coffee in household income, the evaluation will focus on measuring how coffee-centered interventions contribute to the broader project outcomes, tying coffee profit and revenue analyses to holistic changes in income.
6. Identifying unintended consequences: The evaluation should also scrutinize potential negative impacts on the environment, health, human rights, community dynamics, and gender equity, such as the effects of agrochemical use, deforestation, community conflicts, labor issues, and changes in household dynamics and resource control.
7. Suggesting operational improvements: Finally, the evaluation should provide actionable insights and recommendations during the implementation period, to increase the efficacy of POP.

In-situ assessment and collection of fecal sludge from non-sewered sanitation containments: Linking demographic, environmental and technical parameters to microbial activity
REFNo: SIR275ES
The overall objective of this PhD project is to better understand and characterize anaerobic degradation pathways in containment of non-sewered sanitation systems (NSS) in resource constrained settings representative of both urban and rural areas.
In view of this, the specific objective linked to this research pertaining to this ethics application is to understand the influence of demographic, environmental and technical (DET) data on measurable fecal sludge parameters as well as microbial community composition within NSS containment across variable geographic regions.
The proposed project aims to answer the following specific research questions:
- What are the effects and variations associated with physical location, use, and operating conditions on wastewater quality and microbial composition?
- What is the relationship between location of sanitation system and behaviors associated with operational parameters?
- Is there a link between main concentration gradients in containment and spatially analyzable factors (i.e., demographic, environmental and technical)?

Surveillance and Research of Viral Hemorrhagic Fever Outbreaks in Uganda: Acute Case Investigation and Survivor Follow-up for Strategic Public Health Intervention
REFNo: HS2964ES
The primary objective is to enhance Uganda’s capacity to rapidly detect, diagnose, respond to, and prevent VHFs including those caused by Ebola, Marburg, CCHF, RVF, Sosuga, and other emerging viruses. To do this, it is critical to understand the incidence, distribution, risk factors for emergence and transmission, immunogenicity and clinical progression (including potential asymptomatic infection), and potential for transmission following clinical recovery of these diseases throughout Uganda, which will enable improved VHF case outcomes, identification of unknown chains of transmission, survivor monitoring, and strategic targeting of public health and animal health resources to prevent and control transmission of these high-consequence viruses.
