Policy Implications of Business Research in African Contexts for Libyan Policy Makers
type: item
description: This study examines the policy implications of business research in African contexts specifically within Libya, a country experiencing significant socio-economic challenges. A qualitative approach was employed, involving a review of existing literature on business practices in Libya alongside interviews with local business leaders and policymakers to gather insights into current policy landscapes and gaps. The analysis reveals a strong emphasis on investment facilitation and regulatory compliance as critical areas for improvement, suggesting that targeted interventions could enhance economic stability and social cohesion. This research underscores the importance of aligning business strategies with broader socio-economic goals to achieve sustainable development outcomes in Libya. Policymakers are recommended to prioritise reforms in regulatory environments and investor protection mechanisms to foster a conducive climate for both domestic and international businesses.

Gender-Specific Nutrition Programmes in Urban Ghanaian Community Health Clinics
type: item
description: Urban Ghanaian community health clinics face challenges in addressing maternal nutrition deficiencies, particularly for women of reproductive age. A qualitative study using semi-structured interviews and focus group discussions with mothers and healthcare providers in selected clinics. Gender-specific interventions showed significant improvements in dietary diversity among women, with a notable increase of 25% in the number of food groups consumed per week compared to baseline. The study underscores the importance of tailored nutrition programmes for maternal health improvement in Ghanaian urban settings. Further research should focus on scaling up these interventions and evaluating their long-term impacts across different socioeconomic contexts.

Evaluating Gender-Based Violence Support Services in Tanzanian Rural Villages
type: item
description: Gender-based violence (GBV) remains a significant issue in Tanzanian rural villages, affecting women disproportionately. Support services are often under-resourced and poorly understood by local communities. A mixed-methods approach combining quantitative surveys with qualitative interviews to assess service availability, utilization rates, and community perceptions of GBV support systems. Findings revealed a 30% gap in GBV services compared to demand, with women over-identifying needs not met by existing resources. Community engagement was weak, with only 25% aware of available services. Current GBV support services are insufficient and poorly promoted in rural Tanzanian villages, necessitating targeted policy interventions to improve service accessibility and community awareness. Implement a tiered training programme for service providers and incorporate GBV prevention education into local schools. Enhance community-led initiatives to bridge the gap between available resources and demand.

Microinsurance for Smallholder Farmers in Central African Republic
type: item
description: Microinsurance programmes have been introduced to support smallholder farmers in Central African Republic (CAR), aiming to mitigate risks and enhance livelihoods. However, long-term impacts on health and financial stability are less understood. Qualitative data were collected through semi-structured interviews with selected farmers, focusing on their experiences post-programme implementation. Data analysis entailed thematic content coding. Farmers reported significant improvements in accessing healthcare services (85% had better access) and savings accounts (60% increased savings), indicating sustained positive impacts over time. The microinsurance programme appears to have fostered greater financial security and health outcomes among smallholder farmers in CAR, with notable enhancements in healthcare accessibility. Policy makers should consider extending insurance coverage and exploring synergies between health and agricultural insurance programmes for broader benefits.

Youth Engagement in Ghanaian Business Practices
type: item
description: Youth engagement in Ghanaian business practices has gained attention due to its potential to drive economic growth and social development. A mixed-methods approach was employed, integrating quantitative surveys with qualitative interviews among a diverse sample of young entrepreneurs and corporate executives. Youth constitute approximately 35% of the workforce in selected businesses, significantly contributing to innovation and market responsiveness. The findings underscore the necessity for tailored training programmes and policy support to enhance youth participation and leadership within Ghanaian enterprises. Businesses should prioritise inclusive hiring practices and mentorship opportunities to foster a more diverse and engaged workforce.

Sustainability Strategies in Sierra Leonean Businesses
type: item
description: Sustainable development has gained increasing attention in Sierra Leonean businesses as a response to environmental and social challenges. A survey was conducted among business leaders using an online questionnaire designed with Likert scale questions to assess awareness and implementation of sustainable practices. The survey revealed that while a majority (75%) of respondents were aware of sustainability principles, only 40% reported implementing them effectively in their operations. While there is potential for growth in sustainable business practices, current strategies need enhancement to align with global standards and local needs. Businesses should integrate sustainability training into employee development programmes, collaborate with stakeholders, and adopt transparent reporting mechanisms.

Marketing Strategies for Local Products in Ghanaian Global Markets
type: item
description: Ghana's economy is heavily reliant on exports of local products such as cocoa, palm oil, and textiles to global markets. However, competition from imported goods poses a significant challenge. A qualitative research approach was employed, involving interviews with industry experts and case studies of successful local product exports from Ghana. The analysis revealed a strong preference for locally produced goods among foreign consumers in certain markets. For instance, cocoa products were perceived as more authentic and sustainable compared to imported alternatives. Marketing strategies that emphasise the cultural heritage and sustainability of local products are crucial for their success in global markets. Governments should support small-scale farmers with training on quality control and branding. Companies should invest in market research to understand consumer preferences globally.

type: item
description: Mozambique's investment climate has seen significant fluctuations over recent years, influenced by various economic and political factors. A mixed-methods approach combining qualitative interviews with quantitative data from official statistics to evaluate the effectiveness of existing policies. The analysis reveals a predominantly positive trend in FDI inflows over the last five years, with a notable increase in foreign investment towards infrastructure projects and tourism sectors. Current investment climate indicators suggest room for improvement, particularly in streamlining bureaucratic processes and enhancing investor protection mechanisms.

type: item
description: Youth in Tanzania play a significant role within the business landscape. Despite efforts to engage them, there is limited empirical evidence of their active participation and impact. A mixed-methods approach combining semi-structured interviews (n=50) with a survey (n=200), conducted among young entrepreneurs and employees across various sectors in Tanzania. Data from both sources were triangulated to provide comprehensive insights. Youth participants reported facing significant challenges such as limited access to financing and mentorship programmes, which hindered their business ventures compared to established entrepreneurs (35% vs. 60%). The study highlights the critical role of supportive policies and resources in fostering youth entrepreneurship within Tanzania's business environment. Policymakers should prioritise development of targeted programmes for youth, including financial assistance, networking opportunities, and skill development initiatives to enhance their entrepreneurial success.

type: item
description: Microfinance institutions (MFIs) play a pivotal role in facilitating financial inclusion for women entrepreneurs in Ethiopia's business landscape. A mixed-methods approach integrating semi-structured interviews with focus groups and a structured questionnaire to gather detailed participant accounts and statistical data on financial outcomes and empowerment levels. Women entrepreneurs reported significant improvements in their business operations (72%) and overall income (65%), while maintaining traditional gender roles at home. Empirical analysis confirmed these qualitative findings, validating the effectiveness of MFIs as catalysts for economic change. MFIs significantly contribute to women's empowerment through financial inclusion, enhancing entrepreneurial success and sustainability in Ethiopia’s business environment. Continued support from policy makers and development organizations is recommended to ensure sustainable access to MFI services for all eligible female entrepreneurs.

Food Safety Training Programmes and Hygiene Practices Among Commercial Food Service Workers in Nairobi, Kenya
type: item
description: The prevalence of foodborne illnesses in Nairobi, Kenya, underscores the need for improved hygiene practices among commercial food service workers. A mixed methods approach combining quantitative surveys with qualitative interviews was employed to gather comprehensive data from a representative sample of commercial food establishments in Nairobi, Kenya. The analysis revealed that while over 80% of workers reported understanding the importance of hygiene practices following training, adherence levels varied significantly across different types of establishments. Specifically, kitchens operating under municipal health inspections demonstrated higher compliance rates compared to those without such oversight. While initial food safety training programmes have been effective in increasing awareness among commercial food service workers, persistent challenges remain in ensuring consistent and adequate hygiene practices across all settings. To enhance adherence, ongoing support through refresher courses and regular health inspections should be implemented to reinforce the importance of hygiene standards and maintain worker commitment.
