Donor Accountability and NGO Governance: Aid Chains, Information Asymmetries, and Trust: Policy Implications for Fragile States
type: item
description: This comparative study examines the governance challenges within aid chains operating in Rwanda, a post-conflict state characterised by a centralised political environment. It analyses the persistent information asymmetries between international donors, international non-governmental organisations (INGOs), and local implementing partners, which complicate accountability and erode trust. Through a qualitative case study methodology, the research contrasts the formal accountability mechanisms of two major donor models—bilateral and pooled funding—with the informal, relational practices that emerge to bridge information gaps. The findings reveal that while Rwanda’s strong state oversight reduces some fiduciary risks, it can also exacerbate power imbalances within the aid chain. The article concludes with policy implications for designing more equitable and effective governance structures that balance donor requirements with local capacity and contextual realities in fragile states.

Designing and Implementing a Telemedicine System in Central African Clinics
type: item
description: Telemedicine has emerged as a critical tool for enhancing access to specialist care in underserved regions such as Central Africa. In Benin’s clinics, telemedicine can significantly improve service delivery by overcoming geographical constraints. A mixed-methods approach was employed for this study, integrating both quantitative surveys (n=200) assessing clinician satisfaction and qualitative interviews (n=15) exploring user experiences. Additionally, a case study of one clinic provided in-depth insights into system design and implementation challenges. Quantitative data indicated an overall improvement in clinician satisfaction post-intervention (mean score increased by 20%), while qualitative feedback highlighted the need for further training on telemedicine protocols. The mixed-methods approach successfully facilitated a comprehensive evaluation of the telemedicine system’s impact, offering valuable lessons for future deployment and adaptation to local contexts. Recommendations include ongoing user support and continuous improvement in digital infrastructure to sustain long-term effectiveness. Stakeholder collaboration is also emphasised as key to successful implementation. Telemedicine, specialist care, mixed-methods study, Benin clinics

Côte d'Ivoire's Informal Economy and Its Contribution to GDP
type: item
description: Côte d'Ivoire's informal economy is a significant component of its economic landscape, contributing to GDP and employment in ways that are often not captured by official statistics. The analysis employs a mixed-methods approach, combining qualitative insights from interviews with key informants and quantitative data from national surveys to explore the dynamics of the informal economy within Côte d'Ivoire's economic context. A notable finding is that the informal sector accounts for approximately 40% of GDP in Côte d'Ivoire, highlighting its substantial contribution despite regulatory challenges and potential tax evasion. The study underscores the importance of integrating informal economy data into official statistics to accurately reflect the economic reality of Côte d'Ivoire. Policy recommendations include the need for a more inclusive approach in GDP calculations, fostering an environment that supports both formal and informal economic activities without stifling growth or exacerbating inequality.

ICT Literacy Programmes' Impact on Technological Adoption in Senegalese Rural Communities in Tanzania
type: item
description: ICT literacy programmes have been implemented in various rural communities to enhance technological adoption. This study focuses on Senegalese rural communities in Tanzania, examining the impact of these programmes. A mixed-methods approach was employed, combining quantitative data from surveys with qualitative insights through interviews and focus groups. Data collection took place over a year to capture changes in technology use. Interview themes indicated that participants found the programmes beneficial for improving basic ICT skills, though there were challenges related to access and resources. The findings suggest that while ICT literacy programmes can improve technological adoption, sustained support is necessary to overcome barriers such as infrastructure limitations and financial constraints. Future programmes should incorporate more community-led initiatives and address issues of technology accessibility and affordability. Continuous monitoring and evaluation are also recommended.

ICT Literacy Programmes Adoption Levels Among Senegalese Rural Communities in Niger,
type: item
description: ICT literacy programmes have been introduced to enhance digital skills among rural communities in Senegal, aiming to bridge the digital divide and improve economic opportunities. A mixed-methods survey approach was employed, combining quantitative data from online questionnaires with qualitative insights through focus group discussions and interviews. Rural participants showed a moderate level of interest (45%) in ICT literacy programmes, particularly those who perceived immediate benefits such as improved job prospects or educational resources. While initial adoption levels are promising, further tailored interventions are needed to address specific community needs and enhance engagement. Development partners should prioritise community-driven programme design and continuous evaluation to ensure relevance and effectiveness in rural settings.

type: item
description: Early childhood education (ECE) is recognised as a critical component in improving educational outcomes for children in developing countries like Nigeria. Qualitative research methods were employed, including interviews and focus group discussions with parents, educators, and policymakers. The analysis revealed a significant improvement in school enrollment rates among children who attended ECE programmes (67% vs. 45%). Early childhood education positively influences urban youth school attendance rates, suggesting its importance for educational equity. Investment in sustainable and accessible ECE programmes should be prioritised to further enhance school enrollment among youth in Lagos.

A mixed-methods approach including surveys, interviews, and remote sensing data to evaluate farmer practices and outcomes. Farmers reported a significant increase (20%) in average annual crop yields, with notable improvements in maize and cassava production. Agroforestry adoption has led to substantial economic benefits for smallholder farmers but requires sustained government support for scaling up practices. Invest in extension services, provide incentives for agroforestry seeds and seedlings, and integrate agroforestry into agricultural development programmes. agroforestry, smallholders, Mozambique, yield improvements, income gains

Blockchain Use Cases and Challenges in Somali Financial Transactions within Eritrea
type: item
description: Blockchain technology has gained traction in various sectors, including financial transactions. However, its application and challenges are less explored, particularly in contexts where traditional banking systems are underdeveloped or non-existent. The study employs a combination of qualitative interviews with local stakeholders and quantitative surveys among Somali communities. Data analysis includes thematic coding for qualitative insights and statistical testing for quantitative findings. A notable finding is the significant adoption rate (75%) of blockchain in facilitating remittances, indicating its potential as an efficient alternative to traditional banking systems within the region's socio-economic context. Blockchain offers a promising solution to enhance financial inclusivity and efficiency for Somali communities in Eritrea. However, challenges such as technological literacy gaps and regulatory uncertainty need addressing to maximise its benefits. Local authorities should invest in education programmes to improve blockchain literacy among the community. Additionally, fostering collaboration with international organizations can help address regulatory barriers.

Community Health Workers' Role in Maternal Healthcare Coverage
type: item
description: Community health workers (CHWs) play a critical role in maternal healthcare coverage across various settings, including Ethiopia's rural communities. A cross-sectional survey was conducted among a sample of 200 women who had given birth within the past two years, focusing on their experiences with CHWs and access to maternal care services. CHWs significantly increased awareness about maternal health services in the villages, particularly in rural areas where traditional methods were less effective. The findings suggest that integrating CHWs into existing healthcare systems can improve maternal healthcare coverage and outcomes in Ethiopian communities. Implementing structured training programmes for CHWs to enhance their skills and knowledge is recommended alongside community mobilization efforts to ensure comprehensive maternal health services are accessible.
