Assessment of Effectiveness and Cost-effectiveness of the Quality Improvement Guide on Maternal and Newborn Care in Uganda
REFNo: HS162ES
1 Evaluate the change in QI-related actions (defined as; establishing improvement team, identifying gaps in quality of care and particular barriers causing the gap, deciding what to improve, plan, test and implement interventions to address identified gap, routinely monitor the progress of improvement and institutionalize improvement and successful changes in the facility) and knowledge among health care providers and managers from targeted health facilities using different implementation strategies vs business as usual (control group).
2 Determine the change in quality of maternal and newborn care processes (defined as every patient receiving the recommended services every time it is appropriate) and outcomes from pre-intervention to post-intervention in health facilities which have been exposed to the three different implementation strategies.
3 Determine the incremental cost-effectiveness ratio of the different implementation strategies in terms of expenditure per unit of patient care improvement achieved by the implementation strategy to each other and the control group with no incremental costs related to particular control group strategy.
4 Explore key informants perceptions of and experiences with the different intervention strategies.

We are Sons and Daughter of Bwoc: Refusal and Land Rights Protections in Rural Post-Conflict Acoliland, Northern Uganda.
REFNo: SS112ES
To understand: What do processes involved in writing a clan-based non-profit foundation’s constitution (in a previously oral tradition of indigenous governance) do for relatedness in the post-conflict, land-pressured context? After it is written, and circulated, what does the document do for relatedness in context? How does/can it mediate both between sons and daughters of the clan, and between clan members, National Government, and foreign companies, as examples? And finally, how do real and perceived land pressures impact ideas and practices of relatedness, and thus social repairing and particular notions of refusal, through time.

Situating Legitimacy: Encounters between State-Based and Local Fisheries Lifeworlds in Uganda
REFNo: SS48ES
Questions of how to design successful environmental management systems have motivated research in anthropology, political geography and international relations for decades. To the extent that ‘success’ depends on compliance, this raises a fundamental question: When and why do people comply with regulations governing the commons? I address this issue from a specific angle: Why do the same natural management policies fail in some spaces, while they succeed in others? Using the exemplifying case of fisheries management in Uganda, I argue that variance in compliance rates with state policies can be understood by studying the constitution and interaction of different lifeworlds and the effects of such encounters on the perceived cultural legitimacy of state policies in specific spaces. Existing studies suggest that if state-based lifeworlds are incongruent with local fisheries lifeworlds, the perceived cultural legitimacy of, as well as compliance rates with, government policies in these spaces are low.
