Our Projects

Where data meets action.

Each project starts with a community, a question, and rigorous fieldwork — and ends with an open, interactive tool that residents, NGOs, and policymakers can use together.

How We Work

A repeatable methodology.

Every MYCU Makerere project follows the same four-stage approach. This consistency is what lets us compare findings across communities and build a network of evidence over time.

01

Community partnership

We start with conversations — local leaders, VHTs, residents. No data collection happens before community buy-in and IRB approval.

02

Field data collection

Trained student enumerators conduct household surveys, drug shop assessments, and GPS-tagged hazard mapping using KoboCollect.

03

Open analysis platform

All data feeds into a public, interactive portal — risk maps, intervention simulator, monitoring tools. Designed to be used, not just read.

04

Action and follow-up

Coordinated interventions tracked on the platform. Coverage tallies update live. The community sees what's been done.
