General EC2022TEA506A101 01/09/2022 - 31/08/2027 The fight against corruption seems to be as relevant today as it has been in the last decades. Cases of grand corruption are normally the centre of focus, but less attention goes towards the study of the context-dependent mechanisms that make individuals justify, legitimise, or reject corruption, and how corruption is understood and experienced in different groups. The CIRCLE project has members of two local HEIs, two Belgian HEIs, and four key NGOs that work on corruption and transparency. The project has a mixed-methods research agenda. First…

General CU2022TEA499A103 01/09/2022 - 31/08/2027 The project aims to implement a national platform to collect data on maternal, newborn and child health and development, operated by specialists from the national Health and Education ministries and accessible to the families. The data collected along with a new low-cost neuroimaging device, will be used to identify valid and reliable behavioural predictors of neurodevelopmental disorders (NDD) to support case management and decision-making regarding follow-up strategies. New positive and direct health and development indicators of the target…

General EC2022SIN340B126 01/09/2022 - 31/08/2024 With this project we create a high-impact professionalization trajectory for 20 UTN-lecturers and 250 UTN-students (from 5 faculties) to promote educational inclusion in the Imbabura region (Ecuador) for disadvantaged/ethnic-cultural diverse groups. Students perform better and are more academically and socially successful when their cultural identity is acknowledged. Meaningful (Indigenous) inclusion and raising diversity awareness will create a better understanding of the complexities and richness to combat deficit thinking. Moreover,…

General ET2024TEA548A105 01/09/2024 - 31/08/2029 Lack of improved water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) systems and food security needs a multifaceted solution, particularly in the Gamo Highlands of Ethiopia. Our project tackles these challenges via research, education, outreach, and capacity building guided by ‘Leave No One Behind, Interconnectedness, and Multistakeholder Partnerships' principles. Research addresses root causes and dynamics of existing problems, while targeted training empowers local stakeholders and end users. Systematic outreach plays a key role in providing evidence-based…

General EC2022TEA509A103 01/09/2022 - 31/08/2027 Providing safe, accessible and appealing parks can overcome gender differences in physical activity. In this project, we will collaborate actively with the Cuenca city council departments in charge of Social and Gender Equity programs and of developing the Public Spaces Master Plan. Several actors, including female adolescents living in the periurban areas of the city and those from lower socioeconomic strata, will be actively involved. By the end of the project, culturally relevant data will be generated on how parks are currently used and…

General CD2022SIN337A101 01/09/2022 - 31/08/2024 The project aims to study the biodiversity and ecosystem of Lake Mai-Ndombe (LMN), which is part of a large RAMSAR area in order to allow for the conservation and and sustainably exploitation of its fishery resources (FR). Indeed, no in-depth study has been done to understand the ecosysteml functioning of this lake. An important fishery, of key importance to the local population, has developed there, but its impact on the fish stocks is not known. It is therefore difficult to forward strategies for protection and their sustainable use without a…

General ET2023SIN384A104 01/09/2023 - 31/08/2025 It is estimated that 70% of the urban population in Ethiopia lives in very low-quality houses due to the high cost of construction materials together with their low income. At the same time, construction worldwide, one of the main resource-intensive, waste-intensive and greenhouse gas emission sectors, is facing a required transition to a greener and resource efficient industry. The proposed project ultimately targets to address these problems by contributing to: i) improve housing conditions of middle and low-income citizens of Ethiopia; ii)…

General KE2022TEA516A101 01/09/2022 - 31/08/2027 ADCLIM envisages the co-creation of agroecology-based strategies for climate change adaptation, using the UoE’s Outreach Centre as the entry point. Exploratory studies using modelling and data from long-term field experiments will identify promising technology options which will be refined, tested and validated in on-farm field trials. The long-term experiments were designed between 17 and 20 years ago, to explore the sustainability of several Integrated Soil Fertility Management (ISFM) options including the combination of organic and inorganic…

General VN2024TEA578A103 01/09/2024 - 31/08/2029 This project combats food loss and waste (FLW) in Vietnam by promoting the consumption of cosmetically imperfect “ugly” fruits and vegetables, enhancing food availability and smallholder incomes. Using a participatory approach, it connects producers, retailers, consumers and policymakers to shift perceptions and reintegrate 'ugly' produce back into the food chain, supporting SDGs 1, 2, 12 and 13. Key activities include mixed-method mapping of the FLW landscape, establishing Food-Saving Education and Innovation Labs (Food-SAILs) for co-creation…
