MIXED-METHODS IMPACT EVALUATION OF THE DIMITRA CLUBS PROJECT IN UGANDA’S AMOLATAR DISTRICT
REFNo: SS4697ES
Main Objective / Purpose
The impact evaluation seeks to understand how participation in Dimitra Clubs influences women’s empowerment and social inclusion. It will assess changes in social cohesion—such as trust, community participation, collective problem-solving, and conflict resolution. The evaluation will further examine how the Clubs strengthen women’s agency, confidence, decision-making power, and access to social and economic resources, while also observing shifts in gender norms among both women and men. Lastly, the study aims to determine whether involvement in the Clubs reduces experiences of intimate partner violence.
Specific Objectives (Polished & Summarised)
1. To evaluate how the Dimitra Clubs enhance women’s intrinsic agency, including autonomy over income decisions and overall self-efficacy.
2. To explore changes in intra-household gender dynamics, including men’s engagement in domestic roles and how household resources are controlled or allocated.
3. To determine whether participation in the Clubs is associated with a reduction in intimate partner violence.
4. To assess the influence of the Clubs on participants’ social cohesion, focusing on trust, relationships, community participation, and confidence in local institutions.

Assessing the Health, Educational, and Psychosocial Impact of Rainwater Purification Systems in Kijoto Parish, Uganda
REFNo: HS7133ES
The purpose of this research is to evaluate the social, psychological, and health-related impact of newly installed rainwater catchment, purification, and storage systems at three primary schools in Kitojo Parish, Uganda. These systems were implemented by the Healthy Hands Initiative and Raising the Communities in February 2025 to address water insecurity and its associated burdens in rural areas.
This study has the following specific aims:
Aim 1:
Assess the impact of clean water access on community quality of life, mental health, and safety.
We will examine how rainwater systems influence the day-to-day lives of community members, with a focus on time savings, perceived improvements in health and well-being, reduced anxiety around water access, and improved safety (e.g., reduced long-distance water collection, particularly for women and children).
Aim 2:
Explore the effects of clean water systems on educational outcomes and student well-being.
We will investigate how water access affects teacher-reported attendance, student focus, and general classroom dynamics. We hypothesize that improved access to clean water correlates with higher attendance and fewer health-related absences.
Aim 3:
Identify implementation factors that affect system adoption and sustainability.
Using qualitative methods grounded in implementation science frameworks (e.g., RE-AIM or CFIR), we will explore what factors support or hinder successful adoption and long-term maintenance of the rainwater systems. These factors may include local leadership involvement, cultural attitudes, system usability, and perceptions of ownership.
Aim 4:
Compare current water quality with prior community sources.
Water samples will be collected from the new systems and compared with samples from previously used sources to evaluate improvements in water safety.

Assessing Road Impacts on Wildlife Communities and African Golden Cat Ecology in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park (Uganda) Using Camera Trapping
REFNo: NS1140ES
This research will be conducted jointly by two MSc students under a shared research framework focusing on the effects of anthropogenic activities and environmental covariates on wildlife habitat use within Bwindi Impenetrable National Park. Both MSc students are working under unified institutional collaborations and supervisors, and share the image processing, field surveys and research timeline. The study will employ camera trapping and associated field methods to collect data relevant to both projects. While the data collection will be collaborative, each student will pursue an independent research question and produce a separate MSc thesis: one examining habitat use and drivers of density of Caracal aurata, and the other assessing the influence of Ruhija road on wildlife. This collaborative approach maximizes research efficiency, reduces duplication of field effort, and enhances the value of the dataset for conservation management while maintaining distinct academic outputs.
Primary Objective:
To evaluate how road infrastructure and human disturbance influence terrestrial vertebrate communities and the species specific ecology of the African golden cat in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park. Additionally, some of the first density estimates of the African golden cat will be produced for this area in collaboration with an existing camera trapping grid by Embaka.
Specific Objectives:
1. Quantify species richness, composition, and diel activity differences between roadside and interior forest habitats.
2. Identify ecological and anthropogenic factors predicting wildlife sensitivity to roads.
3. Quantify the impacts of habitat variables on habitat use of the African golden cat
using occupancy models.
4. Estimate the density of Caracal aurata in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park using
SECR.

Decolonisation and Black/South Asian mixed-race identity in East Africa, 1940-1980
REFNo: SS4709ES
This is a historical project investigating race relations between South Asians and Africans in late colonial and early postcolonial Kampala through the lens of “mixed-racedness”. It contributes to part of my larger PhD Thesis that examines questions of race, identity, belonging, and nationalism across Tanzania, Kenya, and Uganda in the period 1940-1980. My project explores how British missionaries and colonial agents introduced the concept of “mixed-racedness” to East Africa, asking questions about how Ugandans have identified with, rejected, and appropriated labels like “half-caste”, “chotara/kyotara” or “nusu”. I wish to conduct oral history interviews with a minimum of 10 people in Uganda who are of and older generation and of mixed African/South Asian heritage to discuss the ways in which late colonial and early postcolonial politics impacted their everyday lives. I also plan to consult a range of library and archival materials in Kampala to learn more about the history of Ugandan attitudes towards interracial relationships, the rise of mixed-raced movements such as the “Multiracial Community of Uganda”, and public debates over mixed-race people’s citizenship status after Independence.
Objectives:
1. To shed light on the “hidden histories” of interracial romances and people of mixed Black/South Asian heritage in Uganda, whose experiences are largely absent from the existing historiography.
2. To gain understanding of how colonial and early postcolonial debates influenced the lives and habits of interracial couples and mixed-race people in Kampala, including how attitudes and identities have shifted over time.
3. To produce a Ugandan-based case study that will form an integral part of my PhD Thesis, which seeks to draw comparative analysis of mixed-race identities and their formulation across Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda in the period 1940 to 1980.
4. To preserve mixed-race histories as part of a digital “StoryMaps” archive created with the Blindian Project, which will be accessible online.

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).
