General ET2022SIN346B126 01/09/2022 - 31/08/2024 The access to and awareness of palliative care in Ethiopia is very low while the need for palliative care is high due to high prevalence of cancer and HIV. Furthermore, Ethiopia faces multiple challenges to meet the WHO’s goals for achieving the palliative care in 2030 due to the fragile health care delivery system, lack of community based palliative care model, the lack of palliative care awareness among staff members, and inadequate research on palliative care. This project strives to improve the overall awareness and competences (knowledge,…

General BJ2024TEA536A101 01/09/2024 - 31/08/2029 Natural rangelands constitute the main feed resource for ruminants in the drylands of Benin. However, the increasing scarcity of exploitable land and rangelands is the primary source of conflict between communities, herders, and farmers. There is an urgent need to propose science-based sustainable management of pastoral resources in this region. This project will create a collaborative network between the University of Parakou and KU Leuven, and build capacity in precision livestock farming and integrated modeling for sustainable herd…

General CU2022SIN333A104 01/09/2022 - 31/08/2024 The Research Data Management (RDM) is based on the so-called FAIR Data Principles, whose fundamental objective is to make scientific data freely findable, accessible, interoperable and reusable, thus promoting (1) collaboration between researchers, (2) the genesis of new research, and (3) the socialisation of knowledge. The adoption of these principles for data management in institutions has become by now the Good Practices standard of RDM. The main goal of this project is to develop capabilities to promote the adoption of good practices of…

General BO2022SIN327A103 01/09/2022 - 31/08/2024 The prevalence of cardiometabolic (CM) diseases in Bolivia has risen over the last decades. Although, this burden is unevenly distributed, as demonstrated in a prior project conducted by the local team, identifying double the prevalence of CM risk factors, compared with the departmental average, in market sellers in Sacaba, a mixed peri-urban rural municipality of Cochabamba. Many of the market sellers are also family farmers. Since the COVID-19 pandemic, poverty and informal work has grown, while recently introduced health policies such as the…

General EC2022SIN341A105 01/09/2022 - 31/08/2024 In Ecuador, healthcare services and infrastructure in the form of fully equipped and staffed hospitals and clinics tend to be concentrated in large cities and are largely unavailable in marginalized remote and rural areas. Telemedicine has been used to close this healthcare service gap, but with limited effect due to the lack of adequate means to remotely measure basic physiological parameters. This project aims to tackle this healthcare gap by improving the capacity of ESPOL and SOLCA to support the development of sustainable, low-cost, and…

General VN2022TEA532A103 01/09/2022 - 31/08/2027 Plant-based milks are nutritional and functional beverages serving variate type of consumers, i.e. health-conscious, lactose intolerant or consumers with cow’s milk allergies, vegetarians, or populations with limited access to cow’s milk. Although plant-based milks are being exploited, they face issues regarding processing/stability/preservation/palatability/nutritional balance. Research efforts are needed to solve these pending issues. Taking up the knowledge from our SI 2020 project on soybean-based products, in this project, we envisage to…

General ZA2022TEA525A101 01/09/2022 - 31/08/2027 South Africa has one of the most progressive and holistic water laws that aims to achieve a fair allocation of water for sustainable development. This Act focusses on required water quantity and quality to sustain ecosystem functioning and services. However only water quantity tools are well developed and implemented and there is a lack of quality assessment tools. As some land use practices coupled to abstraction and severe weather conditions due to climate change impact on both water quantity and quality with negative effects on ecosystem…

General UG2019TEA492A105 01/01/2019 - 31/08/2024 Previous projects highlighted the developmental challenges posed by rural population exposure to natural hazards associated to population pressure, fragile livelihoods and land scarcity. To document the evolution in time of these hazards, identify potential suitable strategies to reduce their impacts, and raise awareness among the affected communities several tools have been developed, especially the geo-observer network in the Rwenzori mountains though still limited in terms of equipment, skills and geographical scope. This new project aims at…
