Climate-Resilient Maize Varieties and Food Security in Tanzania's Highlands
type: item
description: This study examines the impact of climate-resilient maize varieties on food security in Tanzania's highlands, focusing on the feasibility and effectiveness of these new agricultural technologies. A mixed-methods approach was employed, combining quantitative data from field assessments with qualitative insights through interviews and focus groups. Farmers were randomly selected to participate in the trials, ensuring a representative sample of the targeted population. Initial findings suggest that climate-resilient maize varieties led to an average yield increase of 20% compared to conventional crops among participating farmers. Farmer acceptance was high, with over 85% expressing willingness to continue using these varieties post-trial. The six-month feasibility testing indicates promising results for the adoption of climate-resilient maize varieties in enhancing food security and sustainability in Tanzania’s highlands. Further research is recommended to validate these findings. Policy makers are encouraged to support further trials, including scaling up the use of climate-resilient maize varieties through extension services and farmer training programmes. climate resilience, maize varieties, food security, smallholder farmers, highlands

Cross-Cultural Management in Pan-African Companies within Ethiopia
type: item
description: Cross-cultural management challenges are prevalent in multinational companies operating within Ethiopia's diverse cultural landscape. A qualitative comparative analysis of case studies from three prominent Pan-African corporations operating in Ethiopia will be conducted, focusing on their strategies and challenges related to cultural integration. There is a notable disparity (20%) in the implementation of cross-cultural management practices across the studied companies, with significant variations in communication styles and leadership approaches between managers and employees from different ethnic backgrounds. Pan-African companies operating within Ethiopia face substantial cross-cultural management challenges that impact their operational effectiveness and stakeholder satisfaction. Develop tailored training programmes for managers to foster cultural sensitivity and inclusivity, establish clear communication channels, and implement robust diversity and inclusion policies.

Evaluating Impact-Sensitive Agricultural Insurance Schemes for Ethiopian Tigray Region Farmers
type: item
description: Agricultural insurance in Ethiopia's Tigray region aims to mitigate risks faced by smallholder farmers, but its effectiveness has not been systematically evaluated. A mixed-methods approach was employed, integrating quantitative data analysis with qualitative insights from farmer interviews to evaluate the insurance's benefits and drawbacks. Insurance coverage reached approximately 50% of targeted farms, with significant improvements in crop yields reported by insured farmers compared to non-insured ones (38%). Impact-sensitive agricultural insurance schemes show promise for enhancing risk management among Tigray's smallholder farmers but require further refinement and expansion. Policy makers should consider scaling up these schemes, providing more comprehensive coverage and integrating them with other social safety nets to maximise benefits.

Solar-Powered Irrigation Adoption and Agricultural Productivity Nexus in Northern Nigerian Villages
type: item
description: Solar-powered irrigation systems have gained traction as a sustainable solution for agricultural productivity in developing regions, particularly in arid and semi-arid areas where traditional water management practices are insufficient. The study will employ a mixed-methods approach combining econometric analysis with qualitative case studies to investigate the socio-economic drivers influencing the uptake of solar irrigation technologies. This theoretical framework underscores the potential of solar-powered irrigation as a viable strategy for enhancing agricultural sustainability in northern Nigerian communities. Future research should focus on scaling up successful pilot projects and exploring policy mechanisms that can facilitate wider adoption of these technologies.

Digital Literacy Empowerment for Women Entrepreneurs in Sub-Saharan Africa
type: item
description: Digital literacy is increasingly recognised as a critical skill for female entrepreneurs in Sub-Saharan Africa, particularly in South Africa where digital technologies are rapidly integrating into business operations. A mixed-methods approach was employed, combining quantitative data from surveys with qualitative insights through interviews and focus group discussions. Digital literacy training significantly improved participants' digital skills (by an average of 40%) and their business outcomes, including a 35% increase in online sales among trained entrepreneurs. The findings suggest that targeted digital literacy programmes can be effective tools for empowering women entrepreneurs in South Africa's dynamic economy. Policy makers should invest more in such training programmes to support the growth of female entrepreneurship and contribute to regional economic development.

Sustainable Development Strategies in Rwandan Business Context, 2009
type: item
description: The Rwandan business context has faced significant challenges related to sustainable development, particularly in terms of environmental sustainability and social equity. An action research approach was employed, involving qualitative interviews with local businesses, stakeholder consultations, and secondary data analysis of existing policies and reports. Businesses in Rwanda showed a strong inclination towards sustainable development practices, particularly in water management (85% reported using recycled water) and waste reduction (60% implemented recycling programmes). The findings suggest that businesses can significantly contribute to sustainable development goals by adopting environmentally friendly and socially responsible business models. Rwanda's government should provide incentives for businesses to adopt sustainable practices, such as tax breaks or subsidies for implementing green technologies.

Gendered Business Incubator Models for Youth Employment within Côte d'Ivoire Cities
type: item
description: Côte d'Ivoire cities face significant youth unemployment, highlighting a need for innovative employment solutions. Business incubators have emerged as promising interventions, yet their effectiveness varies by gender. Theoretical analysis grounded in existing literature on gender and entrepreneurship, using qualitative insights from interviews with key stakeholders in Côte d'Ivoire. A gender-sensitive business incubator model is proposed as a pathway for enhancing youth employment outcomes in Côte d'Ivoire cities, with an emphasis on leveraging existing female networks and support structures. Policy recommendations include the need for government funding and partnership with local women's organizations to facilitate the development of such gender-responsive models.
