Ethics: The activities, which led to the production of this manual, were assessed and approved by the CIRAD Ethics Committee (H2020 ethics self-assessment procedure). When relevant, samples were prepared according to good hygiene and manufacturing practices. When external participants were involved in an activity, they were priorly informed about the objective of the activity and explained that their participation was entirely voluntary, that they could stop the interview at any point and that their responses would be anonymous and securely stored by the research team for research purposes. Written consent (signature) was systematically sought from sensory panelists and from consumers participating in activities.

(NB: This section will be copied & pasted as is in the body of the RTBfoods Annual Report for Period 2). During period 2, NARL prioritized WP1 activities, due to their importance in informing and guiding other Work packages. The activities included cleaning and analysis of data for activity 3 (Gendered product mapping) that had been collected during period 1. A report for this activity is being finalized. With supporting missions from CIRAD, three remaining activities under WP1 were initiated. They are a market study, matooke processing demonstrations and consumer testing studies to gain insights into the products uses, preference of quality characteristics and preferred attributes by different demand segments in urban and rural settings. Processing demonstrations were completed and data processing is on-going. The remaining part of the market and consumer studies will be completed by end of December, 2019. Page 4 of 19 Under WP2, NARL coordinated the recruitment and training of a laboratory panel. The training was supported by CIRAD and CIP/North Carolina University. The panel is currently being used to generate sensory profiles of matooke, cassava, sweet potatoes and potatoes. Also, protocol for preparing, cooking, texture and sensory analysis for matooke was standardized and is currently under review. Following the protocol, sensory profiles of 29 banana genotypes, together with their texture have been generated. During the same period 2, NARL staff, Moses Matovu and Sarah Kisaakye participated in a NIRS training to be conducted by CIRAD team in August, 2019. NARL also collaborates with NaCRRI and IITA to develop NIRS calibrations for matooke bananas. During period 2, we collected 184 spectra in duplicate, using the DS2500 NIRS equipment. Matooke (Uganda): Sensory protocol, sensory profiling, A sensory analysis protocol for matooke was standardized. Also, sensory profiling of matooke, for 29 genotypes (ranging from very good, good, medium, bad, very bad) has been conducted using the protocol. Data analysis will be done during December, 2019 and January, 2020 Boiled Cassava (Uganda): A sensory analysis protocol for cassava was standardized and sensory profiling for 32 genotypes (ranging from very good, good, medium, bad, very bad) has been completed. Data analysis and reporting will be done during December, 2019 and January, 2020. Boiled Sweet potato (Uganda): Lexon for sweet potatoes and potatoes have been generated. Standardization of the cooking and sensory analysis protocol will be done during the first half of period 3.

Abstract Uganda, like many other countries in the Global South, is in dire need of affordable housing. According to the 2017 Uganda National Household Survey, the number of poor Ugandans increased from 6.6 million in 2012/13 to 10 million in 2017 (Twinoburyo 2018). Uganda’s population growth is also the fourth highest in the world (The World Bank Group 2018). With the cost of manufacturing and purchasing construction materials like cement increasing due to scarcity of raw materials (Kamukama 2018), many Ugandans are unable to afford to construct homes.

    NARL achievements in Period 1 Activities Conducted, & Perspectives Main Author(s): NOWAKUNDA Kephas, National Agricultural Research Organization (NARO) - National Agricultural Research Laboratories (NARL), Uganda Collaborator(s): • IITA, Uganda • CIP • Bioversity International PARTNER Summary During the period November, 2017 to November 2018, NARL participated in project inception and planning meetings in Cameroun, WP1methodology development training in Benin aimed at harmonizing sampling approaches, pretesting tools, role plays for focus groups, data analysis and final report writing. NARL together with Bioversity also completed the review of state of knowledge for WP1 and WP2 (Reports are uploaded on the RTBfoods platform). NARL also successfully hosted and participated in the sensory panel training workshop, led by CIRAD. The training equipped NARL together with Diversity have also completed farm-level end-user preference profiling surveys under WP1( summary table submitted to work package leader) and are in process of scanning and uploading questionnaires and FGD reports to RTBfoods platform). NARL has also recruited a socio-economics Msc student (Ms Moreen Asasira), attached to Makerere University, whose thesis will contribute to the understanding of traits preferred by market and urban based value chain actors such as retail traders, restaurant operators and consumers. The student has completed her research proposal and is currently working on data collection tools. Also, an Msc student (Mr. Nelson Willy Kisenyi) attacked to Kyambogo University will contribute to the laboratory characterization and quantification of consumer preferred traits under WP2. He is shared between NARL and Bioversity International. NARL has successfully coordinated with IITA-Uganda, NaCCRI, Boiversity International and CIP to implement RTBfoods activities, through sharing personnel and equipment such as the NIRS, which has helped us to cope with budget limitations.
