Thinking and Working Politically Community of Practice The Thinking and Working Politically Community of Practice promotes awareness and adoption of TWP approaches, and provides evidence-based insights to stimulate further innovation. The impetus behind the formation of the CoP was to translate the insights of political economy thinking into operationally relevant guidance. The CoP does this by engaging with development practitioners, publishing information and advice, providing training workshops, and promoting new studies and research.
Rwanda912: Use of an innovative electronic communications platform to improve pre-hospital transport of injured people in Rwanda Research question
Can a novel electronic system, Rwanda912, which uses an ambulance Destination Decision Support Algorithm (DDSA), improve transport time of injured patients to a facility that can treat them, in two areas (urban-Kigali and rural-Musanze), in Rwanda?

Background
In Rwanda, injury causes substantial disability and 9% of all deaths, 47% of which occur before-hospital. Many of these injury-related deaths and disabilities would be avoidable if delays getting to hospital were reduced. Rwanda has a country-wide free ambulance system. However, inefficiencies in communication and coordination between the ambulance and facilities cause delays in getting the right patient to the right hospital at the right time.

In this multidisciplinary project, involving academics, the Ministry of Health (see letter from The Honourable Minister of Health), ambulance services, and a local not-for-profit software company (Rwanda Build Program [RWBuild]), we propose to test the efficacy and implementation of a novel, award winning, electronic system, Rwanda912, to reduce delays in transport to hospital for injured patients.

Methods
Our primary effectiveness outcome is time from injury to arrival at an appropriate facility. Secondary outcomes are clinical or process (e.g. death, need for ITU, length of stay). We will use an Interrupted Time Series (ITS) approach to assess effectiveness of the intervention – Rwanda912. ITS is known to be a robust method to assess effectiveness in real-world situations where a randomised controlled trial cannot be done. We will
study implementation outcomes using the RE-AIM QuEST framework, which combines qualitative and quantitative measures to understand the intervention’s Reach, Effectiveness, Adoption, Implementation, and Maintenance.
These outcomes will facilitate understanding of the reasons for the primary and secondary effectiveness outcomes and aid in the transferability of findings elsewhere. Costs, resource use, and cost-consequences will be captured.

Timelines for Delivery
The project will run for 60 months. The first 3 months are for set-up. Pre-intervention data collection will be
NIHR RIGHT Transforming the Treatment and Prevention of Leprosy and Buruli Ulcers A UK and low-and-middle-income-country (LMIC) partnership that aims to improve the treatment and prevention of Leprosy and Buruli ulcers in Nepal, India and Nigeria. 

The project has three main aims:
1. To improve self-care in the community for patients who are at risk of recurring leprosy ulcers.
2. To better understand the needs of patients with Buruli Ulcers and the barriers to meeting those needs.
3. To evaluate new methods of clinical care for leprosy patients. The first aim – supporting self-care / self-help for people in the community who are at risk of recurring leprosy ulcers – is based on an ‘implementation science’ approach where we will work across all three countries to:
1. Agree and share a set of guidelines to support the set and management of self-care in the community.
2. Build on these principles to support the design and evaluate local interventions in collaboration with communities, patients, clinicians and policy-makers.

The second aim is to conduct a health needs assessment for Buruli ulcer patients in Nigeria to identify barriers and facilitators to meeting those needs.

The third aim – developing new methods of clinical care – will ‘translate’ knowledge by selecting and conducting preliminary evaluations of treatments that have a good chance of being effective and cost-effective in improving care for leprosy patients. These may be:
1. Ideas that have been tried but not proven in leprosy.
2. Treatments that are effective in other ulcer conditions and hold promise for leprosy or BU.
3. New ideas emanating from the ‘science base’.

The project is designed to create, as an additional key output, an international ‘Community of Practice’ involving researchers, community and public contributors, clinicians, and policy makers. This community will be ideally prepared and situated to build on the accomplishments of this grant and continue to collaborate, share best practice, and innovate in care so that fewer people will be stigmatised by deformities and disabilities resulting from the two highly stigmatising diseases.

Strengthening food security and resilience of populations affected by the food crisis in Mauritania This project is a contribution to Caritas Mauritania's emergency appeal (EA 18/2012). 

Mauritania faces ongoing food insecurity, which has been exacerbated in recent months. In 2011, poor rainfall affected crop production. According to a recent crop assessment, gross grain output is down 40% from the 5 year average. This, in addition to macro economic issues and price increases, has left many rural populations vulnerable to food insecurity. In Dec 2011 almost a quarter (24.6%) of the rural population was considered food insecure; almost triple than the same period in 2010.  

Through activities such as the provision of assets (cash grants, seeds and small livestock), rehabilitation of water sources and establishment of community stores, this project aims to improve the food security and strengthen the long term resilience of more than 9000HH (estimated 5 individuals per HH) in the Brakna and Gorgol districts of Mauritania.

Sustainable Agriculture & Women’s Advancement: Improving Livelihoods and Establishing Women led Enterprises with Smallholder Farmers in Meru County Kenya (SAWA) SAWA will work with 2,120 smallholder households in the main vegetable producing area of Meru county to increase the visibility, voice, choice and control of women in the vegetable value chain. This will be achieved by organizing and building the capacity of farmers (especially women) to enabling efficient market access, improved production and better terms of trade, among others by making use of the Commercial Village Model. This is an organic business model through which administrative villages are graduated into commercialized trade entities that are built and supported to interact with other value chain actors as effective business partners. This project adapts this existing model to put women’s economic empowerment at the forefront. •Smallholder farmers are better organized, they work collectively and collaboratively to access markets. •Smallholder vegetable farmers have improved production practices through adoptions of sustainable agricultural practices. •Women participating in vegetable value chains have increased influence in decision making through participation, engagement and leadership. •Smallholder farmers have improved access to markets and better terms of trade through partnerships with the government and private sector.
