Corporate Social Responsibility Practices in Multinational Corporations within Angola's Context
type: item
description: Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) practices among multinational corporations (MNCs) in Angola have been increasingly recognised as crucial for sustainable development and stakeholder satisfaction. The study employed a mixed-method approach, combining quantitative analysis of publicly available data from corporate reports and qualitative interviews with key stakeholders in selected industries. Data was analysed using thematic coding techniques to identify CSR themes and practices. Findings indicated that while there is variability across sectors, MNCs within Angola predominantly emphasise environmental protection and community development initiatives, reflecting broader global trends but adapted to local contexts. The research highlights significant advancements in MNCs' CSR practices in Angola, including increased transparency and stakeholder engagement, although challenges remain regarding the integration of CSR into core business strategies. Future studies should focus on enhancing the alignment between CSR activities and broader corporate goals to ensure sustainability and long-term success. Policy recommendations include fostering an enabling environment that supports CSR without compromising profitability.

Indigenous Youth-led Biodiversity Restoration in Cameroon
type: item
description: Indigenous youth groups in Cameroon's Cross-River State have initiated biodiversity restoration projects that leverage traditional ecological knowledge. Qualitative research methods were employed, including semi-structured interviews with youth leaders, focus group discussions with participants from affected communities, and documentation of project records. Indigenous youths have successfully restored over 20% of degraded land areas through traditional planting techniques, significantly enhancing local biodiversity. The study underscores the potential for integrating traditional ecological knowledge into formal conservation strategies to foster sustainable environmental management among youth-led initiatives. Further research should investigate scalability and replicability of these practices across different regions in Cameroon and beyond.

Data-Driven Crop Insurance Adoption among Northern Nigerian Rice Farmers
type: item
description: Data-driven crop insurance schemes have been introduced to mitigate risks faced by farmers in various regions globally. However, their effectiveness and acceptance vary significantly across different contexts. The research employed a mixed-methods approach with a survey questionnaire designed for rice farmers. Data were collected through face-to-face interviews, and statistical analysis was conducted using software tools relevant to policy development. Data-driven crop insurance adoption among northern Nigerian rice farmers showed an average acceptance rate of 65%, with significant differences in uptake based on farmer income levels. The study concludes that data-driven crop insurance schemes are effective in reducing financial losses for low-income rice farmers, but there is room for improvement in policy design to enhance broader adoption. Policy makers should consider tailoring insurance products and claims processing mechanisms to better align with the needs of northern Nigerian rice farmers.

Investment Climate and Foreign Direct Investment Attraction in Mozambique
type: item
description: Investment climate in Mozambique has been a topic of interest for policymakers aiming to attract Foreign Direct Investment (FDI). The country's economic landscape is characterized by significant developmental challenges, including infrastructure deficiencies and political instability. The research employs a mixed-methods approach, combining quantitative survey data with qualitative interviews. Data was collected through an online questionnaire distributed among potential and existing FDI companies in Mozambique. Findings indicate that infrastructure deficiencies are the most significant barrier to FDI attraction, with over 70% of respondents citing this issue as a major concern. Political stability is also highlighted as a critical factor affecting investor confidence. The investment climate in Mozambique remains challenging, primarily due to inadequate infrastructure and political instability. Recommendations include prioritising infrastructure development and enhancing transparency in governance to improve the FDI environment. To attract more foreign direct investment, Mozambique should focus on improving its infrastructure by investing in transportation networks, energy supplies, and telecommunications. Additionally, fostering a stable and predictable business environment will be crucial for economic growth.

Solar Power's Economic Penetration into Off-Grid Healthcare Facilities in Nigerian Communities
type: item
description: Solar power has emerged as a viable alternative energy source for off-grid healthcare facilities in Nigeria, driven by increasing electricity demand and the need to reduce reliance on fossil fuels. A mixed-methods approach combining econometric analysis with community interviews and focus group discussions was used to gather comprehensive data from selected healthcare facilities across different Nigerian states. Solar power penetration into off-grid healthcare facilities led to a significant reduction in electricity costs, averaging $20 per month for each facility, contributing positively to the sustainability of these services. The study underscores the economic benefits of solar power installations and highlights the need for further policy support to ensure wider adoption in off-grid settings. Local governments should prioritise funding for solar power projects and conduct community education programmes to promote sustainable energy use among healthcare facilities.

Cash Transfer Programmes and Early Childhood Development in Egyptian Urban Slums
type: item
description: Cash transfer programmes (CTPs) are a popular intervention in developing countries to address poverty and inequality, often targeting early childhood development (ECD). In Egypt, urban slums present unique challenges for ECD programming. The study will employ a mixed-methods approach, including literature review, qualitative case studies, and econometric modelling to analyse existing data from Egyptian urban slums. This framework highlights the importance of integrating CTPs with other interventions like childcare facilities and parental education programmes to maximise benefits for children's development. Policy-makers should consider tailoring CTPs to local contexts, ensuring that they are part of a comprehensive strategy aimed at improving ECD outcomes in Egyptian urban slums.

Comparative Business Practices in African Regions
type: item
description: The economic landscape of African regions varies significantly due to historical, cultural, and geographical factors. Cape Verde, as a small island nation in the Atlantic Ocean, exemplifies unique business practices influenced by its colonial history and proximity to Europe. The study employs qualitative research methods including interviews, document review, and thematic analysis of existing policies and market trends in Cape Verde. Comparative case studies from neighboring African nations are also examined to highlight commonalities and differences. Cape Verdean businesses exhibit a strong emphasis on community-oriented practices due to its small population size and high degree of interconnectivity within the business community, which contrasts with more individualistic approaches found in larger continental economies. The analysis underscores the importance of fostering collaborative networks and local knowledge sharing as key strategies for sustainable economic growth in Cape Verde and similar African contexts. Policy makers are advised to support initiatives that encourage cross-border collaboration, particularly between small businesses, to leverage economies of scale while preserving cultural and environmental sustainability.

Ethical Dilemmas in Business Practices amidst Conflict and Development Efforts in Egypt
type: item
description: The study examines ethical dilemmas faced by businesses in conflict-affected regions of Egypt, focusing on the intersection of business operations and environmental sustainability. An ethnographic study was conducted involving semi-structured interviews and participant observation among business entities active in conflict zones of Egypt. Data analysis utilised thematic coding to uncover patterns and themes within these contexts. Businesses often struggle with balancing profit maximization against environmental stewardship, particularly regarding waste management practices that affect local water supplies. Despite the challenges, businesses showed a willingness to engage in collaborative efforts aimed at sustainable development when provided with appropriate support and incentives. Governments should implement policies promoting integrated approaches to conflict resolution and economic development that consider environmental impacts. Businesses could benefit from training programmes focused on sustainable business practices.

The Informal Economy's Contribution to Côte d'Ivoire's GDP
type: item
description: Côte d'Ivoire's economy is characterized by a significant informal sector which contributes to its Gross Domestic Product (GDP). Understanding the role of the informal economy in GDP can provide insights into economic stability and growth. No empirical data will be analysed; instead, a conceptual analysis grounded in existing literature on the informal sector will be employed to construct the theoretical framework. This study underscores the importance of recognising the informal economy as a significant contributor to Côte d'Ivoire’s GDP, advocating for policies that support both formalization and inclusivity. Policymakers should consider strategies that enhance the productivity and legal status of the informal sector without stifling its growth. This includes fostering entrepreneurship and improving access to finance.
