Urban Youth Entrepreneurship Support Programmes in Dakar Slums
type: item
description: Urban youth entrepreneurship is a critical area of focus in Senegal’s development agenda, particularly in Dakar slums where access to financial services remains limited. Qualitative research methods, including semi-structured interviews with 50 youths involved in the programmes and focus group discussions with community leaders, were employed to gather data from a representative sample of participants. Participants reported significant barriers such as high transaction fees (72%) and limited access points (60%), which hindered their ability to use financial services effectively for business growth. The evaluation highlights the need for comprehensive financial inclusion strategies that address accessibility issues, particularly in underserved urban youth populations. Programme providers should consider reducing transaction fees and expanding physical access points to ensure greater financial inclusion among Dakar slum youths.

Environmental Justice in Resource-Rich African Nations
type: item
description: Environmental justice movements in resource-rich African nations have gained prominence due to the disproportionate impacts of environmental degradation on marginalized communities. In South Africa, these movements are particularly relevant given its status as a biodiversity hotspot and significant mineral wealth. The study employs a mixed-methods approach involving qualitative interviews with stakeholders involved in environmental justice movements, document analysis of relevant legislation and policies, and thematic synthesis of existing literature on environmental justice in South Africa. Community-based initiatives have shown significant success in advocating for stricter regulation and compensation schemes. However, the effectiveness of these efforts is undermined by weak enforcement mechanisms and inadequate stakeholder engagement. While progress has been made, substantial challenges persist in translating legal protections into practical outcomes that benefit local communities disproportionately affected by resource extraction. Future research should focus on strengthening regulatory frameworks and enhancing community participation. Policy reforms are required to bolster enforcement of existing environmental laws, increase public awareness about the impacts of resource exploitation, and ensure equitable distribution of compensation funds.

Digital Inclusion and the Digital Divide in Somali Rural Communities
type: item
description: The digital divide in rural African communities is a significant issue affecting economic development and social inclusion. A survey was conducted with a sample size of 300 participants across various regions in Somalia, employing both quantitative and qualitative data collection methods. The survey revealed that only 45% of respondents owned smartphones, indicating significant digital exclusion among rural populations. Rural communities face substantial challenges in accessing digital technologies due to socio-economic disparities and infrastructure limitations. Investment in digital literacy programmes and improved internet connectivity are recommended to bridge the digital divide. digital inclusion, rural Somalia, smartphone ownership, digital divide

Urbanization and Informal Settlements in Tanzanian Cities
type: item
description: Urbanization in Tanzanian cities has led to significant growth and transformation of settlement patterns, with informal settlements emerging as a prominent feature. The research employs qualitative methods, including interviews with residents and policymakers, to examine the lived experiences and policy interventions related to urbanization and informal settlements. Informal settlement dwellers in Tanzanian cities face challenges such as inadequate water supply (40% of households report limited access) and poor waste management services (35% indicate unsatisfactory conditions). Urbanization has both positive and negative impacts on social welfare, with significant disparities observed between formal and informal settlement residents. Policymakers should prioritise the provision of basic infrastructure in informal settlements and implement targeted programmes to improve access to healthcare and education for these communities.

Renewable Energy Integration and Smallholder Farmer Livelihoods in Rural Rwanda
type: item
description: Rural Rwanda faces significant energy challenges due to limited access to modern energy sources, particularly for smallholder farmers who rely on traditional biomass fuels for cooking and lighting. Renewable energy integration could offer a viable solution to improve energy security and livelihoods. Qualitative case studies were conducted on selected RE projects; data collection included farmer surveys, focus group discussions, and stakeholder interviews. Project performance metrics such as energy production capacity, cost-effectiveness, and social impact were analysed. Renewable energy integration led to a significant increase in household energy access by 85% among participating smallholder farmers, though initial costs were substantial at an average of $100 per household. Long-term sustainability was compromised by limited government support and high maintenance costs. While renewable energy projects provided immediate benefits, long-term viability requires robust policy frameworks supporting infrastructure development and financial incentives for rural communities. Government should prioritise funding for RE integration in rural areas, establish clear guidelines for project implementation, and implement policies to ensure equitable access to technology and resources. Partnerships with NGOs and private sector entities can help bridge the financing gap.

Religious Pluralism and Inter-Faith Dynamics in West Africa
type: item
description: Religious pluralism in West Africa is a complex phenomenon characterized by coexistence and competition among different faiths. Djibouti serves as an exemplary case, given its diverse religious landscape. A mixed methods approach was employed, combining a survey with in-depth interviews. Data were collected from 500 randomly selected participants across various regions of Djibouti. The findings indicate that approximately 42% of respondents reported experiencing significant religious prejudice, which disproportionately affects younger generations (aged 18-35). This study highlights the importance of inter-faith dialogue and community engagement in mitigating religious tensions in Djibouti. Recommendations include fostering educational programmes that promote understanding and respect for different religions, encouraging regular interfaith gatherings, and advocating for inclusive policies.

Water Scarcity and Conflict Mitigation in Egypt within the Nile Basin Context, 2009
type: item
description: Egypt faces significant water scarcity issues in its Nile Basin context, posing challenges to both economic and social stability. The study employs a comparative analysis of historical data from multiple sources including government reports and academic literature on Nile Basin governance. A key finding is that equitable water distribution agreements between upstream and downstream countries have mitigated localized conflicts, though implementation remains inconsistent. Effective conflict mitigation strategies require robust institutional frameworks for resource management and equitable stakeholder participation. Egypt should continue to advocate for regional cooperation mechanisms in the Nile Basin, particularly focusing on water rights and infrastructure development.

Climate Resilience Training Workshops for Smallholder Farmers in South Sudan
type: item
description: Climate resilience has become a critical issue for smallholder farmers in South Sudan, where weather extremes frequently disrupt agricultural productivity and food security. A longitudinal approach was employed with qualitative data collection through farmer interviews, focus group discussions, and observation notes over a period of three years. Farmers showed significant improvement in their adaptive strategies, particularly in diversifying crop varieties and implementing sustainable land management practices. The workshops significantly enhanced farmers' resilience to weather extremes, leading to improved agricultural yields and reduced vulnerability to climate shocks. Further training should focus on long-term sustainability measures and policy advocacy for climate-resilient farming solutions in South Sudan.
