Traditional Governance Structures and Modern Democracy in Southern Africa
type: item
description: Traditional governance structures in Southern Africa have evolved over centuries, often intertwining with modern democratic processes. In Kenya, these traditional systems coexist with contemporary political institutions, presenting a complex interplay between old and new forms of leadership. This qualitative study employs semi-structured interviews and ethnographic observations among local leaders, community members, and political officials. Data analysis focuses on thematic content and discourse analysis to interpret interactions between traditional and modern governance elements. A key finding is the significant influence of customary leadership roles in mediating conflicts and decision-making processes within communities, often complementing or supplementing statutory legal frameworks. This role varies by region but is notably prevalent in rural areas where traditional systems are more deeply entrenched. Traditional governance structures continue to play a substantial role in shaping social cohesion and conflict resolution mechanisms in Kenya’s democratic landscape, albeit with varying degrees of integration into formal political processes. Policy recommendations include fostering dialogue between traditional leaders and modern governmental bodies to enhance mutual understanding and collaboration, thereby improving the effectiveness of democratic institutions in addressing community needs.

Cultural Adaptation and Resilience in Migrant Communities of Southern Africa
type: item
description: Cultural adaptation and resilience are critical for migrant communities in Southern Africa, particularly those residing in South Africa. These communities often face challenges such as language barriers, socio-economic disparities, and cultural conflicts. A mixed-methods approach was used, including a questionnaire survey among 500 respondents from diverse ethnic backgrounds and semi-structured interviews with 20 leaders of migrant organizations. Data were collected through online platforms and face-to-face meetings in urban areas of South Africa. Findings indicate that the most prevalent cultural adaptation strategy is language immersion programmes, adopted by 85% of respondents. Additionally, community-led support groups for social cohesion are also widely used (60%). The study highlights the effectiveness of culturally tailored interventions in enhancing resilience among migrant communities. Policy-makers should invest in culturally sensitive educational programmes and foster collaborative networks between migrant organizations and local authorities to promote cultural integration and mutual understanding.

Community-Based Tuberculosis Screening Programmes in Urban and Semi-Urban Slums of Nigeria
type: item
description: This study examines community-based tuberculosis screening programmes in urban and semi-urban slums of Nigeria, focusing on their effectiveness in addressing high rates of TB prevalence among vulnerable populations. A mixed-methods approach was employed, involving quantitative data collection through surveys and health records analysis, and qualitative insights from interviews with community members and programme stakeholders. Community-based screening in urban slums showed a higher rate of TB case detection compared to semi-urban areas, with an average of 20% more cases identified among the surveyed population. Interviews revealed that participants were primarily motivated by financial incentives offered alongside health education sessions. The findings suggest that integrating financial incentives and comprehensive health education significantly enhances participation in community-based TB screening programmes, particularly in urban slums where resource constraints are less pronounced. Health authorities should prioritise the replication of successful models in semi-urban areas to improve overall TB detection rates. Future research could explore the long-term sustainability of these interventions. Tuberculosis, Community-based screening, Urban slums, Nigeria, Public health

Religious Pluralism and Inter-Faith Dynamics in Equatorial Guinea's West African Context
type: item
description: Religious pluralism in Equatorial Guinea's West African context is marked by a complex interplay of indigenous beliefs and Christianity, with Islam also playing a significant role. The research employs qualitative methodologies including interviews and focus group discussions with local religious leaders and community members to understand contemporary interactions between different faiths. A notable theme emerging from the findings is the increasing intermarriage between Christian and Muslim couples, reflecting a normalization of coexistence despite historical tensions. The study highlights the evolving nature of religious pluralism in Equatorial Guinea, emphasising the importance of dialogue and mutual respect in fostering peaceful cohabitation among diverse faith communities. Policy makers should promote educational programmes that encourage interfaith understanding to mitigate potential conflicts arising from cultural misunderstandings.

Drought Tolerance Techniques Among Smallholder Farmers in Northern Senegal Irrigation Zones
type: item
description: Drought is a recurring challenge in northern Senegal’s irrigation zones, affecting smallholder farmers’ crop yields and livelihoods. A mixed-method approach was employed, including surveys, focus group discussions, and interviews with 120 farmers across four irrigation zones. Farmers reported a significant preference for mulching (65%) over other techniques like drought-resistant crop varieties (30%). While farmers show interest in adopting various drought tolerance methods, mulching remains the most popular due to its perceived ease of implementation and cost-effectiveness. Investment in mulching technologies and training programmes should be prioritised to enhance smallholder resilience against drought.

Early Childhood Development in Nairobi Slums
type: item
description: Early childhood development (ECD) is crucial for a child's future academic and social success. In Nairobi slums, where resources are limited, ECD programmes can significantly impact children’s early years. The study employed a longitudinal design with pre- and post-intervention assessments. Data were collected through standardised questionnaires administered to parents/guardians of participating children aged 0-5 years. A notable increase in cognitive scores was observed, with an average improvement of 12% compared to baseline measurements. The intervention programme demonstrated positive impacts on early childhood development across various domains. Recommendations for policy and future research are provided based on these findings. Policy recommendations include expanding access to ECD programmes in Nairobi slums, with a focus on socio-emotional skill development interventions.
