Methodological Assessment and Yield Improvement Evaluation of Municipal Water Systems in Ghana
type: item
description: Ghana's municipal water systems face challenges in delivering sustainable services, necessitating methodological assessments to improve yield and efficiency. A DiD model was employed to analyse pre- and post-intervention data from four municipalities, accounting for potential confounders such as population growth and economic conditions. The DiD analysis revealed a significant increase in water yield of 15% following infrastructure upgrades (95% confidence interval: 8%, 23%), highlighting the efficacy of targeted interventions. This study validates the use of DiD for evaluating municipal water system improvements and underscores the importance of consistent data collection and analysis. Municipalities should prioritise ongoing infrastructure maintenance, regular performance evaluations, and stakeholder engagement to sustain yield improvements. Difference-in-Differences, Municipal Water Systems, Ghana, Yield Improvement, DiD model The empirical specification follows $Y=\beta_0+\beta^\top X+\varepsilon$, and inference is reported with uncertainty-aware statistical criteria.

Enhancing Solar Irrigation Efficiency in Ethiopian Highlands
type: item
description: Solar irrigation has emerged as a critical solution for enhancing agricultural productivity in arid and semi-arid regions of Ethiopia's highlands, where water scarcity is prevalent. The methodology involves a comparative analysis of data from 50 randomly selected farms equipped with solar irrigation systems versus those using conventional water pumps over two growing seasons. Data on yield, input costs, and profitability were collected and analysed using a mixed-effects model. Solar irrigation systems demonstrated an average increase in crop yields by 20% compared to traditional methods, primarily in crops like maize and beans. The findings suggest that solar irrigation significantly reduces operational costs for farmers while increasing their profitability. The mixed-effects regression model estimated a mean effect size of the solar system on yield improvement at 19% with robust standard errors around ±2%. Given these results, policymakers should prioritise the deployment of solar irrigation systems to smallholder farmers in Ethiopia's highlands, considering both financial and environmental benefits. The empirical specification follows $Y=\beta_0+\beta^\top X+\varepsilon$, and inference is reported with uncertainty-aware statistical criteria.

Methodological Evaluation of Municipal Water Systems in Uganda
type: item
description: Uganda faces significant challenges in ensuring equitable access to clean water for its population, with municipal water systems often struggling to meet demand and maintain quality standards. A mixed-methods approach combining quantitative data analysis with qualitative insights from interviews and focus groups was employed. Time-series forecasting models were used to predict future water quality and availability based on historical data, including rainfall patterns and population growth. The time-series model showed a significant positive correlation (r = 0.85) between regular maintenance schedules and reductions in waterborne diseases (p < 0.01). This study underscores the importance of proactive maintenance as a key factor in improving clinical outcomes related to municipal water systems. Ugandan policymakers should prioritise investment in infrastructure upgrades and routine maintenance programmes to enhance service delivery and public health outcomes.

Methodological Evaluation of Smallholder Farm Systems in Nigeria
type: item
description: The agricultural sector in Nigeria plays a crucial role in its economy, yet there is limited systematic evaluation of smallholder farm systems. A randomized controlled trial (RCT) was employed in conjunction with econometric analysis to measure the impact of various interventions on yield, productivity, and income. The RCT revealed that fertilizer subsidies increased crop yields by an average of 15% among participating smallholder farms. This study provides robust evidence for the efficacy of targeted agricultural support programmes in improving farm performance. Policy makers should consider implementing and scaling up similar interventions to enhance food security and economic stability in Nigeria’s rural areas. The empirical specification follows $Y=\beta_0+\beta^\top X+\varepsilon$, and inference is reported with uncertainty-aware statistical criteria.

The Adoption Paradox
type: item
description: The rapid adoption of educational technology (EdTech) in urban East African slums has garnered significant attention, yet its impact on indigenous students remains underexplored. The study employed a mixed-methods approach, including qualitative interviews with educators and quantitative surveys targeting students in selected slum areas. This study underscores the importance of tailored interventions to ensure equitable access and effective utilization of EdTech by Indigenous students in urban slums. Educators and policymakers should prioritise training programmes that enhance digital literacy among indigenous communities, particularly for female students, to maximise educational outcomes. The empirical specification follows $Y=\beta_0+\beta^\top X+\varepsilon$, and inference is reported with uncertainty-aware statistical criteria.

description: Solar-powered irrigation schemes are increasingly adopted by smallholder farmers in the Niger Delta region of Nigeria to improve agricultural productivity and sustainability. However, gender dynamics remain underexplored, despite their significant impact on scheme outcomes. Understanding these dynamics is crucial for designing more inclusive solar-powered irrigation schemes that can enhance agricultural productivity and sustainability among smallholder farmers, especially women. Inclusive design strategies should include targeted training programmes for women on solar technology maintenance and operation, as well as community-level interventions to reduce socio-cultural barriers. Policies promoting electrification in rural areas are also recommended to increase access to solar energy. The empirical specification follows $Y=\beta_0+\beta^\top X+\varepsilon$, and inference is reported with uncertainty-aware statistical criteria.

Impact of Energy Efficiency Programmes on Small Businesses in South Africa's Industrial Parks
type: item
description: Energy efficiency programmes in South Africa's industrial parks aim to reduce energy consumption and associated costs for small businesses. A combination of quantitative surveys and qualitative interviews was employed to assess programme effectiveness. Small businesses in industrial parks saw an average annual cost reduction of £50,000 (95% CI: £42,000 - £58,000) after participating in the energy efficiency programmes. The mixed methods study confirmed that energy efficiency programmes led to significant cost reductions for small businesses in industrial parks over two years. Further research should explore scalability and long-term sustainability of these programmes within different sectors and regions. energy efficiency, cost reduction, revenue growth, industrial parks, South Africa The empirical specification follows $Y=\beta_0+\beta^\top X+\varepsilon$, and inference is reported with uncertainty-aware statistical criteria.

Electric Vehicles among Small Retailers in Lagos
type: item
description: Electric vehicles (EVs) are increasingly being considered as a sustainable transportation solution for small retailers in Lagos, Nigeria, given their potential to reduce operational costs and environmental impact. This study employs a mixed-method approach including surveys and interviews with small retailers to gather data on their operational costs, energy consumption patterns, and perceptions regarding EVs. Econometric models are used to analyse the financial impacts of adopting EVs. A preliminary econometric analysis suggests that EVs could decrease operating expenses by up to 20% for small retailers in Lagos, with a significant reduction in fuel costs being the primary driver. The findings indicate that while there are potential financial benefits, other factors such as initial investment and technological readiness may need consideration before widespread adoption. Small retail businesses should be provided with incentives to offset initial EV purchase costs. Additionally, improvements in charging infrastructure are recommended to enhance the feasibility of adopting EVs. The empirical specification follows $Y=\beta_0+\beta^\top X+\varepsilon$, and inference is reported with uncertainty-aware statistical criteria.

Methodological Evaluation of Ghana's Field Research Stations Systems Using a Difference-in-Differences Approach for Risk Reduction Assessment
type: item
description: This study addresses a current research gap in Energy concerning Methodological evaluation of field research stations systems in Ghana: difference-in-differences model for measuring risk reduction in Ghana. The objective is to formulate a rigorous model, state verifiable assumptions, and derive results with direct analytical or practical implications. A structured analytical approach was used, integrating formal modelling with domain evidence. The results establish bounded error under perturbation, a convergent estimation process under stated assumptions, and a stable link between the proposed metric and observed outcomes. The findings provide a reproducible analytical basis for subsequent theoretical and applied extensions. Stakeholders should prioritise inclusive, locally grounded strategies and improve data transparency.
