Solar-Powered Cooking Stoves in Rural Ethiopia
type: item
description: Rural households in Ethiopia rely heavily on traditional biomass cooking methods, which contribute to indoor air pollution and health issues. A mixed-methods approach combining surveys with focus group discussions in selected rural communities, utilising data from 150 households for quantitative analysis and thematic content analysis for qualitative insights. Solar-powered cooking stoves were adopted by 42% of the surveyed households, leading to a reduction in indoor air pollution levels by an average of 35% compared to traditional methods. The adoption of solar-powered cooking stoves shows promise for improving household energy efficiency and reducing health risks associated with traditional biomass use. Government subsidies and community engagement programmes should be implemented to encourage wider adoption of these technologies in rural Ethiopia.

Oral Traditions as Historical Sources in Southern African Communities
type: item
description: Oral traditions play a significant role in preserving historical narratives within Southern African communities, particularly in South Africa. These traditional stories are often passed down through generations and serve as vital sources of information about past events, cultural practices, and social structures. The methodology involves a structured questionnaire distributed among participants from diverse communities across South Africa. Qualitative analysis is employed to interpret the responses, highlighting common themes and patterns within the oral traditions shared by respondents. A notable finding suggests that over half of the sampled community members believe their oral traditions have influenced how they understand their historical context, indicating a strong connection between these narratives and current societal perceptions. Oral traditions are recognised as important historical sources within Southern African communities. The survey results underscore the significance of these traditional accounts in shaping contemporary communal identity and understanding. Further interdisciplinary research is recommended to validate the findings, including comparative studies with other regions and methodologies such as oral history workshops for enhanced accuracy and reliability of data collection.

description: Digital library access programmes have been implemented in various rural settings to enhance students' academic performance through improved information literacy skills. A cross-sectional survey design was employed to collect data from a representative sample of students. Information literacy skills were evaluated using an adapted version of the Library Literacy Test (LIT), while academic performance was measured by end-of-term examination scores in core subjects. Students who accessed digital libraries showed significant improvement in information literacy, with a mean score increase of 15% compared to those without access. Academic performance data revealed that students accessing the digital library had an average grade point increase of 0.7 across all tested subjects. The findings suggest that digital library access programmes have a positive impact on both information literacy and academic achievement among Ugandan secondary school students in rural areas. Schools should consider expanding their digital library initiatives to include more resources and training for teachers to further enhance learning outcomes.

Decolonizing Namibian Art Histories
type: item
description: Art history in Namibia has predominantly been Eurocentric, marginalizing indigenous perspectives and methodologies. This study aims to decolonize art historical narratives by integrating contemporary Indigenous knowledge systems. We employed participatory action research involving workshops with local artists and elders. Data collection included interviews, focus groups, and archival research to document contemporary artistic expressions within their cultural contexts. The analysis revealed a significant proportion (70%) of artworks that incorporate traditional symbols and narratives, indicating a growing recognition of Indigenous heritage in modern Namibian art practices. Decolonizing Namibian art histories through community-led research reveals the vibrant integration of tradition with contemporary artistic expression. This approach offers new insights into understanding cultural resilience and identity. Future studies should prioritise collaborative, community-based methodologies to ensure authentic representation of Indigenous knowledge in art historical discourse.

Youth Entrepreneurship in Urban Slums
type: item
description: Youth entrepreneurship in urban slums of Cameroon faces significant challenges due to limited resources and social support networks. Qualitative data collection methods including participant interviews and focus group discussions were employed to understand the experiences and perspectives of workshop participants. A notable theme emerged regarding the significant proportion (45%) of businesses that achieved profitability within two years post-workshop, driven by mentorship support and networking opportunities provided. The study highlights the importance of tailored support programmes in fostering youth entrepreneurship success in urban slums. Policy makers should prioritise funding for mentoring services and community engagement initiatives to enhance workshop outcomes.

Network Strengthening Efforts in Maternal Care Networks
type: item
description: This study examines the effectiveness of network strengthening efforts among Health Extension Workers (HEWs) in maternal care networks within rural villages of Gambia. A participatory action research approach was employed, involving qualitative interviews and observations conducted by the HEWs themselves. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews and focus group discussions (FGDs) to understand their experiences and perspectives. HEWs reported significant challenges in maintaining consistent communication and coordination across different villages, with over 60% of respondents indicating difficulties in scheduling appointments due to varying village schedules. The analysis highlights the importance of developing standardised communication protocols and enhancing HEW training on effective network management strategies to improve service delivery outcomes. Recommendations include establishing a central database for appointment scheduling, organising regular training sessions focusing on networking skills, and promoting community health committees as intermediaries in village coordination.

Eco-Friendly Packaging Innovations for Smallholder Cocoa Producers in Ivory Coast
type: item
description: In Ivory Coast, smallholder cocoa producers face significant challenges in accessing markets due to environmental degradation and lack of sustainable practices. The region's cocoa industry is under threat from deforestation and water scarcity, which not only affect the environment but also reduce the quality and quantity of cocoa produced. The study employed participatory workshops and surveys among cocoa farmers, industry experts, and consumers to gather insights into preferred packaging options and market preferences. A pilot project was conducted in a Botswana region with similar climatic conditions to test the efficacy of proposed solutions. Preliminary results indicate that eco-friendly packaging significantly extends product shelf life by up to 30% compared to conventional methods, which is crucial for small-scale producers who often face issues related to post-harvest spoilage. Consumer acceptance was high, with over 85% of participants expressing willingness to pay a premium for sustainably packaged cocoa products. The findings suggest that integrating eco-friendly packaging into the Ivory Coast's cocoa supply chain could not only mitigate environmental degradation but also improve economic performance by increasing product shelf life and consumer loyalty. Immediate implementation of eco-friendly packaging solutions in Ivory Coast is recommended, alongside further research to explore long-term sustainability impacts. Establishing partnerships between government agencies, NGOs, and private sector entities can accelerate the adoption process.
