Pregnancy to Protection: Enhancing Vaccine Confidence for Lifelong Family Health
REFNo: HS6734ES
1. Identify factors that influence vaccine confidence among pregnant women and mothers to enhance immunization uptake at the family level, creating a positive ripple effect across the lifespan.
2. Identify opportunities for and barriers to expanding maternal vaccination coverage through evidence-based community focused approaches.
For objective two we will utilize qualitative methods to understand key stakeholder level perspectives on overcoming barriers related to the 3c’s and the acceptability, feasibility, and appropriateness (implementation outcomes, operationalized as defined by proctor et al. (60)) of mass education and vaccination campaigns that reach pregnant women outside of ANC facilities to expand vaccine access and catalyze uptake within the family unit. We will also explore how other routine immunization delivery across the lifespan can be similarly optimized.
Key informant participants will be identified through existing relationships with the MOH (in the case of policy level stakeholders) and community leaders (in the case of traditional birth attendants and village health team members).

Productive Business Loans for Women in Uganda: Evaluating the Impact of Large, Uncollateralized Loans
REFNo: SS3181ES
To quantify the impact of providing large, uncollateralized loans to women entrepreneurs. The power calculation (shown in the section later) confirms that with 1,000 treated and 1,000 control entrepreneurs, this study is powered at 80% to detect a 0.135 standard deviation (SD) effect on business profits, translating to an increase of approximately USD 64 per month, or 10% of the average borrower’s profits. To test if we can generate a credit scoring model to predict which women entrepreneurs will repay the loans and, relatedly, who will benefit from the loans. To understand if the provision of large uncollateralized loans is financially viable for the lender.

Assessing girls’ menstrual practices and experience: development of a menstrual practices questionnaire and the menstrual perceptions scale.
REFNo: SS279ES
Background
After a history of neglect and taboo, the role of the menstruation in women and girls’ dignity, health, education, employment, and wellbeing has begun to receive attention. Stakeholders from governments to local charities have started to recognize the barriers that poor menstrual management and menstrual stigma present to gender equality. This has resulted in a rapid increase in the dissemination of interventions; from small-scale sanitary pad or puberty education provision to national policies such as large-scale sanitary pad distribution for schoolgirls in Ghana and Kenya. Despite this increased action, there is limited research available to inform intervention development or evaluation.
There is a lack of comprehensive, validated survey tools with which to measure women and girls’ menstrual practices and experiences. This limits the quality of cross-sectional and intervention research as well as monitoring and evaluation by NGOs and governments.
General Objective
This project aims to improve the measurement of menstrual practices and experiences in low resource settings through field testing and assessment of the psychometric properties of new measures of practices and perceptions.
Specific Objectives
1. To field-test acceptability and responses to a newly developed Menstrual Practices Questionnaire (MPQ), and Menstrual Perceptions Scale (MPS).
2. To assess the test-retest reliability of the MPQ and MPS.
3. To assess the factor structure of the MPS through exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis.
4. To assess convergent and divergent validity of the MPS, that is, association of the scale scores with hypothesized correlates.

From rural to digital: the rise of e-money in developing economies
REFNo: SS293ES
This research project looks at the uptake of mobile money services in a rural setting of west Uganda. The project seeks to understand, as per the key research question, how mobile money has a positive effect on poverty alleviation within the context of the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals and the G20’s commitments to financial inclusion for the unbanked? It further aims to understand whether mobile money is a transformational technology, offering value to its users, or a displacing technology that propagates social and economic disparity, privileging a few at the expense of the many? In response to these questions, the research will take a case study approach to explore and evaluate the user experience of mobile money services in the context of a poor, rural region where a high proportion of the community is unbanked.

The objective of this study is to facilitate deeper understanding of issues of gender bias in the workplace in a sample of countries in Africa, and in sectors where women do much of the work but receive the lowest levels of pay and the least recognition, which in turn results in financial constraints.
Specific objectives
1. To understand the place and importance of empowerment of women in the workplace.
2. To investigate the range of factors that could act as barriers to women’s inclusion and gender equity.
3. Identify areas for change and inform policy on women’s empowerment in both formal and informal economies.

Existing in the periphery: narrating gendered dynamics of conservation in Karamoja, northern Uganda
REFNo: SS3258ES
The objectives of this research are as follows:
• To map the position of community members in a conservation corridor by narrating their relationship to land and the environment, exploring how their daily lives may shape the production of the corridor space from within
• To explore how a conservation corridor shapes the lives and relationships of community members, with particular attention to expanding an understanding of the relationship between connectivity conservation and intersecting experiences of violence (i.e., human-wildlife/human conflict)
• To constructively challenge emergent scientific narratives about connectivity conservation by mapping friction between territorial claims for biodiversity conservation in the abstract against the unruly practices within a corridor
• Applied aim: To translate shared narratives into formats and fora which could influence the ethical and just transformation of connectivity conservation practice
