Our innovation is to use the increasing food waste by the increasing population to generate cricket feed for insect (cricket) protein production. This research has established: (i) that a daily production of 768 metric tons of food waste in Kampala; (ii) a processing protocol for converting food waste to a safe and shelf-stable cricket feed; (iii) that the developed feed (21 - 27 % protein) can support cricket growth and development similar to the conventional feed; (iv) a return on investment of 50.1 % for the developed feed compared to 11 % when farmers use their own feed.Item Annex : messages for social media campaign and posters in GTA villages(2024) Loriba, Agnes; Ainoo, Francis; Atiah, GladysThis document contains images that can be used in social media and posters for this campaign.Item Teacher mentorship and support in Kenya : a desktop review(2023-08-13) Echaune, Manasi ; Maiyo, JuliusTeacher mentorship and support programmes enable teachers to engage in ongoing professional learning and develop required competencies. This exploratory study was designed to provide baseline information on existing teacher mentorship and support programmes in Kenya. The study sought to provide background information towards the implementation of participatory action research on the strengthening in-service teacher training (SITT) project funded by the International Development and Research Centre (IDRC). The study adopted an integrative and holistic approach that involved a review of government policy documents, circulars and reports, articles published in refereed journals and grey material to enable map existing teacher mentorship and support programmes in Kenya. The study sought to; describe the theoretical background of teacher mentorship and to document existing in-service teacher mentorship and support programmes in Kenya. Various in-service teacher mentorship and support programmes exist in Kenya. However, the majority of the programmes were funded and implemented by non-governmental organisations. The existing mentorship programmes were uncoordinated and lacked a follow-up mechanism, thus making them less effective.Item Supporting knowledge translation for research on Covid-19 responses for equity (CORE) - phase 2 : 10 January – 9 December 2023(2023-12-11) Georgalakis, James; Clark, Louise; Meeker, Jessica; Bardwell, Poppy; Spicer, Laurie; Wilson, Emilie; Vaduva, Roxana; Institute of Development StudiesThis period of the CORE KT support project began with the only all-cohort face to face event and culminated in a raft of publications and outputs. The emphasis has been on seeking out all possible opportunities to synthesise learning across the cohort and produce engaging content that would be of interest to those concerned with learning from the rapid mobilisation of research during the pandemic and implications of the research for responding to the longer term impacts of Covid-19 or the ongoing “poly-crisis”. We find that the outputs that emerged from the West Africa cohort meeting, the webinar series, the IDS Bulletin Special Issue and other outputs have received good levels of engagement.Item Increasing wheat production and productivity through science-based knowledge and innovations for a competitive wheat manufacturing value chain in Uganda(2023) Chemayek, B.; Baguma, C.; Wasukira, A.; Walimbwa, K.; Woniala, B.This presentation includes information on increasing wheat productivity in Uganda, including materials and methods and results of advance yield trials.Item Transforming the care economy through impact investing case study : Symplifica(2023) CoreWoman; Busara Center for Behavioral Economics; Kore GlobalAcross the world care work is mostly done by women and girls, who perform three-quarters of unpaid care work. Representing more than 11 percent of total global employment, paid care work is also a significant source of employment, particularly for women. However, these jobs are poorly paid, in positions that fall outside of formal employment structures, and insecure due to ingrained gender and racial biases and the work’s perceived value. These case studies help to demonstrate viable and impactful business models, ranging from building social security infrastructure to labor-saving products and services. They offer a unique and nuanced understanding of the businesses’ theories of change and impact journeys. The case studies also help to share the lessons these innovators have learned on their pathways to scale, and it is our hope that they will attract more capital into the care economy for deepened impact.Item Sexual and reproductive health rights in times of conflict : the lived experiences of Syrian refugee women in Lebanon(2023-12) El Kak, Faysal; Abou Habib, Lina; Whaibeh, Emile; Al Fakhani, SohaylaItem Effective governance responses to crises : lessons from the Covid-19 pandemic(2023-09) Bianchi, MatÍas; Coda, Florencia; Cyr, Jennifer; Acuña-Alfaro, Jairo; Heffernan, IanItem Fractionation of Ugandan shea butter into commercial shea stearin and shea olein(2023-12) Omujal, Francis; Okullo, John Bosco Lamoris; Agwaya, Moses Solomon; Kirabo, Irene; Natukunda, SheillaItem Towards a public law perspective on the constitutional law of privacy in South Africa in the age of digitalization(Cambridge University Press, 2023-11-06) Cachalia, Firoz ; Klaaren, JonathanItem Development of mass rearing tools and value addition for the Dessert Locust (Schistocerca gregaria Forskal) value chain in East Africa(2023-12) Ogendo, Joshua.
