Examining the costs and benefits of sanitation infrastructure and access and associated decision-making frameworks within Kampala, Uganda
REFNo: SIR4ES
The purpose of this study is to examine the costs and benefits of improved sanitation facilities, such as flush toilets, which are shared among multiple households compared to improved sanitation facilities private to a single household. Within this purpose, I will investigate the relevance of distinguishing between shared and private sanitation from local household perspectives, landlord perspectives, and decision-making or planning perspectives. The costs and benefits associated with shared and private sanitation will also be explored to further understand the motivations underlying the stated relevance of sanitation access level within low-income settlements of Kampala, Uganda. Within the study, two underlying research questions will help define future research studies and highlight locally important aspects of sanitation planning and household choices: (1) Which key factors drive the cost-benefit differences between shared and private sanitation options? And (2) how can data availability issues be overcome to develop relevant and valid cost and benefit estimations for Kampala, Uganda?\r\n\r\nThe overarching goal of this study is to evaluate the costs and benefits of shared versus private improved sanitation infrastructure within the setting of Kampala, Uganda. Under this goal, we have a number of study objectives, where we hope to improve understanding both for academic advancement and local knowledge advancement.  \r\n\r\nThese objectives are:\r\n - identify the sanitation facility options from multiple stakeholder viewpoints – tenants, landlords, sanitation experts;\r\n - review proposed cost-benefit framework and categories within the local context;\r\n - consolidate and review secondary-data on shared and private sanitation within Kampala slums;\r\n - evaluate the potential benefit-transfer validity both for local secondary data as well as foreign study data; and\r\n - evaluate the validity of benefit-estimation methods, including hedonic regression analysis, contingent valuation survey, and discrete choice experiment, within the local context to potentially replace or supplement benefit-transfer values.\r\n\r\nThese objectives cover multiple important aspects of the sanitation and potentially broader development field. Currently, cost-benefit analyses are an important part of the United Sates’ and many developed-countries’ policy-evaluation processes. However, the application of this method to decisions in developing countries is less common. When cost-benefit analyses have been conducted on sanitation policies or projects in developing countries, the focus has been on extreme shifts, such as moving households from open defecation to a private toilet and septic tank, or analyses have relied on crude data or transfers of value from other settings with limited validation. This study will review the validity of such value estimation approaches within Kampala and seek to understand the potential relevance of cost-benefit analyses to more marginal decisions, specifically households transitioning to shared versus private sanitation.

Mountain gorillas (Gorilla beringei beringei) in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, Uganda: interrelationships with Batwa and other local communities.
REFNo: SS24ES
This proposed research project is a dissertation project that will focus on increasing our understanding of the relationships between mountain gorillas (Gorilla beringei beringei) and varied local human communities living around Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, Uganda. Despite over 50 years of research on mountain gorillas, little is known about their traditional importance to local communities. I ask the following research questions: (1) How have the relationships between mountain gorillas and various local communities changed over time with conservation management and resettlement practices? (2) How can the integration of local knowledge enhance the participation of local communities in the scientific process, management, and conservation of protected spaces? (3) How do current human-gorilla interactions shape local people’s perceptions of mountain gorillas in Bwindi? I anticipate that findings will show that farmers who must guard their crops without harming gorillas and displaced hunter-gatherers who are cut off from their resource base will have different understandings of and conflicts with wildlife. I also anticipate that findings will increase the longevity of this species (Gorilla beringei beringei) by providing a deeper understanding of the complex associations between gorillas and humans sharing mosaic edge habitats.

Innovations  in Dry Season Horticulture for Women and Smallholders in East Africa -Production and Marketing for income, nutrition, and climate resilience
REFNo: A14ES
Dry season vegetable production has been identified as a high priority in the largely rainfed (>97%) agricultural systems of Uganda. Off season vegetable supplies are currently inadequate to meet human nutritional needs. As rainfall patterns become increasingly unpredictable and rapid population expansion places more pressure on food systems, demand for vegetables will further outstrip supplies. This spin-off project builds on the team’s previous participatory work in Uganda to convene stakeholders from public and private sectors and develop innovations in small scale dry season vegetable production for women farmers in East Africa. We will develop a research and development approach resulting in release of horticulture irrigation innovations tested at five ‘innovation sites’ over three field seasons in Eastern Uganda and create a framework for local public and private sector organizations to develop small scale irrigation systems. We will work closely with smallholder women farmers who are often excluded from irrigation and marketing developments. We will: i) work at five locations over three dry seasons to test dry season vegetable production systems with farmers, research partners, district staff, NGO partners, and university students, ii) assess agronomic, economic, market, nutrition, and gender impacts of the innovations; and iii) develop scale-out options for the most promising technologies. Ugandan partners include two regional NGOs, three institutes of the National Agricultural Research Organization, and one university. Development of a co-innovation systematic approach for assessing and supporting innovations in dry season vegetable production will strengthen small scale farmer enterprises targeted to local markets and family consumption.
