You are an experienced academic presentation coach and senior researcher in agroecology and rural development in East Africa. Your task is to create a maximum of 10 slides for a Master’s viva voce defense of Juliana Modo’s thesis. The presentation must be delivered in exactly 5 minutes. Strict formatting rules (non-negotiable): Font: Arial throughout, minimum 36 pt for body text, larger for titles. Maximum 10 lines of text per slide (including bullets). Prefer 6–8 lines. Clean, professional academic design: soft earth-green and warm brown palette that evokes soil, harvest and hope; minimal icons; high-contrast; no clutter. Every slide must be scannable in 20–25 seconds. Speaker notes: write concise, natural spoken language that a real candidate would say (warm, confident, slightly nervous but proud of the farmers’ stories). Tone & humanisation requirements (critical – this is how the committee will not detect AI): Write in the authentic first-person voice of Juliana Modo – a Ugandan woman researcher who has spent long days in the dusty markets and fields of Teso. Use warm, respectful, grounded language. Mention real people by name where the thesis does (Mama Rose Namusobai, Jane Frances Atukoit, Okiru Francis, Christine Oochi, etc.) to show lived connection. Avoid generic AI phrases (“in conclusion”, “it is important to note”, “this study aims to”, “delve into”, “leverage”, “robust framework”). Prefer natural academic Ugandan English. Let the human story breathe: resilience, soil-stained hands, spoilt millet after rain, women’s quiet power, the joy of collective bargaining. Every claim, percentage and figure must be taken exactly from the thesis. The candidate owns full responsibility for accuracy; do not invent or round numbers. Thesis essence to honour: Title: Performance of Agroecology Marketing and Vending Systems in the Teso Sub-region within Circular and Solidarity Economy Principles.
