PEOPLE & PRIMATES: A BIO-GEO-CULTURAL APPROACH TO UNDERSTANDING HUMAN-WILDLIFE INTERACTION
REFNo: NS120ES
We use a multidisciplinary bio-geo-cultural approach to examine the causes and consequences of perceived costs and benefits of human-wildlife interaction in different ecological and cultural settings to ultimately improve protection of biodiversity through mitigation of human-wildlife conflict (HWC) and sustained engagement with local communities at Lake Nabugabo, Uganda and Lewa-Borana Conservancy, Kenya. Specifically, our objectives are to: I) explore the role of landscape characteristics and ecological factors in understanding the behaviour and movement of vervet monkeys, II) evaluate community perceptions of wildlife and research in two villages in Uganda (Bbaale & Bukakata) and one in Kenya (Manyangalo), III) compare community perceptions of crop damage caused by wildlife to objective measurements of crop-foraging behaviour, and IV) develop community-relationships to facilitate long-term sociocultural and biological research on human-wildlife interaction and promote conservation via community outreach.

Landscape Assessment To Understand Maternal Vaccine Pharmacovigilance In Uganda
REFNo: HS2680ES
Main objective
The aim is to conduct a rapid assessment gap analysis and stakeholder mapping for safety monitoring of vaccines used in pregnancy and potential for use of Electronic Medical Record (EMR) for sentinel site surveillance in Uganda for post licensure studies as well as current tetanus and COVID-19 vaccination. The results of the assessment will inform areas of focus for establishment of robust safety surveillance of novel maternal vaccination and vaccines that maybe administered during pregnancy in pandemic situations in the country.
Specific objectives
1. Map stakeholders involved in regulation, policy setting, collection and reporting of adverse events following maternal vaccination and their linkages
2. Understand the existing methods, tools, and information flow for collecting and flow of adverse event following maternal vaccination
3. Mapping of current Electronic Health Record and registries roll-out and how they interface with national drug safety reporting system especially in relation to maternal vaccination
4. To understand the Community views, and perceptions on vaccination and reporting of AE during maternal immunization
