Gender Equality Programmes and Women's Political Participation in East African Politicians' Networks
type: item
description: This study explores the impact of gender equality programmes on women's political participation in East African politicians' networks across Kenya, Uganda, and Rwanda. This study employs a qualitative approach involving semi-structured interviews with politicians, policymakers, and civil society representatives across Kenya, Uganda, and Rwanda to analyse their experiences and perceptions of gender equality initiatives. Concrete results show that in Uganda, the proportion of women participating in political leadership roles increased from 15% to 20% over six years due to targeted gender equality programmes. Findings suggest that while gender equality programmes have shown promise, sustained and comprehensive support is necessary for long-term impact on women’s political participation. Recommendations include the need for continued investment in gender-sensitive education and leadership development initiatives to enhance women's political representation.

Translating African Literature in Somalia
type: item
description: Translating African literature from Somalia into global languages is a complex process fraught with challenges such as preserving cultural nuances and linguistic accuracy. The research employed participant observation, semi-structured interviews, and focus groups with translators and literature experts to gather data. A thematic analysis was conducted on collected materials. A key finding is that maintaining cultural authenticity while ensuring readability for non-Somali speakers is a significant challenge, particularly in translating Somali poetry which often relies heavily on metaphorical language. The study concludes by recommending the use of local literature circles and community feedback to refine translations and enhance understanding among global audiences. Recommendation includes fostering partnerships between translators, scholars, and cultural organizations to develop a more inclusive and culturally sensitive translation approach for Somali literature.

Microfinance Loans and Women Entrepreneurs in Kenyan Informal Markets
type: item
description: Microfinance loans have become a significant tool for empowering women entrepreneurs in Kenyan informal markets. However, their effectiveness and long-term impacts are subject to debate. The study employed a qualitative approach, focusing on semi-structured interviews with 50 women entrepreneurs who received microfinance loans. Data was analysed using thematic analysis to identify common themes and patterns. Microfinance loans have enabled many women entrepreneurs in Kenyan informal markets to grow their businesses by an average of 20% annually, significantly contributing to local economies. While microfinance loans offer substantial growth opportunities for women entrepreneurs, there is a need for tailored support services and financial literacy programmes to enhance economic viability. Policymakers should consider implementing conditional cash transfers alongside microfinance loans to ensure that funds are used effectively. Additionally, promoting access to digital finance can further boost business growth.

Religious Syncretism and Cultural Adaptation Among Nigerian Diasporas
type: item
description: Religious syncretism refers to the blending of beliefs from different religions within a community, often in response to cultural and social changes. Cultural adaptation among diasporas involves the process by which individuals or groups modify their culture to suit new environments. The study employed a mixed-methods approach using structured interviews and participant observation among Nigerian diaspora communities in the UK. Ethnographic techniques were used to capture nuanced understandings of religious syncretism and cultural adaptation. A significant proportion (45%) of respondents reported engaging in religious syncretic practices, combining elements from Christianity, Islam, and traditional African beliefs. Cultural adaptation manifested through language use, dietary habits, and social norms. Religious syncretism and cultural adaptation appear to be key factors shaping the experiences of Nigerian diasporas living in the UK. These findings contribute to understanding the complex interplay between religion and culture within diaspora communities. Future research should consider longitudinal studies to track changes over time, as well as incorporating more diverse diaspora groups to gain a broader perspective on religious syncretism and cultural adaptation.

Libraries and Archives in Niger
type: item
description: Niger, a landlocked country in West Africa, faces significant challenges in preserving its rich intellectual heritage due to limited resources and accessibility issues. A structured questionnaire was administered to a sample of librarians and archivists in key institutions across Niger. Data were analysed using thematic content analysis to derive insights into the state of library and archival services in the country. The survey revealed that while there is some investment in digital preservation, physical archives remain underutilized due to limited funding and space constraints. There is a notable gap between theoretical knowledge about intellectual heritage and practical application within the sector. Current library and archival services in Niger are insufficient for effectively preserving African intellectual heritage. The lack of adequate resources hinders their ability to engage with diverse communities and maintain accurate records. To address these challenges, a comprehensive funding strategy should be implemented alongside capacity-building initiatives for staff members. Collaborative efforts between government bodies, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), and academic institutions are also recommended.

Financial Inclusion Programmes and Gender Equity in East African Markets
type: item
description: Financial inclusion programmes in East African markets, particularly Kenya, have been implemented to enhance economic participation among marginalized groups such as women and youth. These initiatives aim to bridge the gap between formal financial systems and underbanked populations. No empirical results are provided. The analysis draws on existing literature and case studies from financial inclusion projects in Kenya, focusing on qualitative insights into programme design and impact. While financial inclusion programmes have contributed to economic growth in Kenya, they have not sufficiently focused on fostering equitable participation across genders. Programme developers should prioritise the development and implementation of gender-specific initiatives within their frameworks to ensure more balanced representation of women and other marginalized groups.
