Constitutionalism and Legal Order in Beninese Transitions, 2012 Perspective
type: item
description: Benin is a West African country where constitutionalism has been a cornerstone of governance since independence in . In recent years, Benin has experienced multiple political transitions, each with varying degrees of adherence to its constitution and the rule of law. The study employs a mixed-methods approach, combining quantitative data from official legal documents and qualitative insights gathered through interviews with legal experts and judicial officials. A thematic analysis was conducted on selected case studies to provide context-specific understanding of constitutional implementation. During the period under review, there were notable fluctuations in the stability of the legal order, with instances of both robust adherence to constitutional provisions and lapses in enforcement. Specific themes emerged regarding the impact of political pressures on judicial independence and the effectiveness of oversight mechanisms. The findings suggest that while Benin has made strides towards a more constitutional governance model, persistent challenges related to institutional integrity and compliance with constitutionality remain significant barriers to achieving full legal order. To enhance the robustness of the legal framework in future transitions, it is recommended that Benin strengthens its oversight mechanisms, ensures judicial independence, and fosters greater public awareness and participation in constitutional governance processes.

Gender-Based Violence Prevention Workshops Among Secondary School Teachers in South Africa
type: item
description: South Africa has a high prevalence of gender-based violence (GBV), with secondary school teachers playing a crucial role in fostering safe learning environments for students. This study employed semi-structured interviews with a purposive sample of 30 secondary school teachers from diverse geographical regions across South Africa. Interviews were audio-recorded and analysed using thematic analysis. Teachers reported increased awareness about GBV, but only 45% felt confident in implementing strategies to prevent GBV within their classrooms. Despite initial enthusiasm for the workshops, teachers identified significant gaps in knowledge and resources needed to implement effective GBV prevention measures effectively. Schools should provide ongoing support through professional development opportunities and resource allocation to ensure sustained impact of GBV prevention efforts.

Parental Engagement and Caregiving Quality in Home-Based Childcare Services
type: item
description: Home-based childcare services play a crucial role in providing care for children while their parents are at work or engaged in other activities. In Cape Town, South Africa, these services offer an alternative to institutional childcare and have significant implications for child development. A mixed-methods approach was employed, including both quantitative surveys of parents and qualitative interviews with childcare providers. Data were collected from January to December in a representative sample of home-based childcare centers across Cape Town. Parental engagement varied significantly between different types of services (daycare vs. nappy changing), with caregivers who reported higher levels of parental involvement also showing improved caregiving quality and more consistent educational activities for the children. This study provides valuable insights into how effective parental engagement can enhance childcare practices, ultimately supporting better outcomes for young children in home-based settings. Policy makers should consider promoting initiatives that encourage greater parental involvement in home-based childcare services to ensure high-quality care and positive developmental trajectories for children.

Adapting Psychological Support Models for Sexual Harassment Survivors in Lagos Universities
type: item
description: Sexual harassment in universities is a significant issue affecting female students in Lagos, Nigeria. The existing legal and psychological support models are inadequate for addressing the unique challenges faced by survivors. Theoretical synthesis approach will be employed, integrating insights from legal studies, psychology, sociology, and gender studies to propose an adaptive model for supporting survivors. The proposed theoretical framework can serve as a guide for developing comprehensive support services that address the specific needs of sexual harassment survivors in Lagos universities. Universities should integrate this theoretical model into their existing support systems to ensure continuity of care and improve outcomes for survivors.

Success Rates in Youth Employment Counseling Programmes Among South African Secondary School Dropouts
type: item
description: Youth unemployment is a significant issue in South Africa, particularly among secondary school dropouts who may lack the necessary skills and support for employment. The study employed a comparative analysis approach using data from four randomly selected secondary schools across South Africa. Data was collected through structured interviews with participants, focus group discussions, and review of programme documentation. Success rates varied significantly among the programmes evaluated, ranging from 15% to 40%, with dropout students often citing a lack of relevant skills and support networks as major barriers to employment. While some counseling programmes showed promising results in increasing employability, further tailored interventions are needed to address specific challenges faced by secondary school dropouts. Programmes should incorporate more practical training components and strengthen partnerships with community organizations to enhance their impact on dropout students' employability.

Land Law Reforms and Tenure Security in Rwanda
type: item
description: Rwanda has implemented significant land law reforms aimed at enhancing tenure security for its diverse population, including rural and urban dwellers. The analysis is grounded in a review of existing legislative changes and scholarly literature focusing on land law reform trajectories across Africa, with specific attention to Rwanda's context. These reforms are crucial for stabilising property rights and fostering sustainable development in a country with historically dynamic land relations. Further research should explore the practical implementation of these reforms to gauge their effectiveness in promoting equitable and secure land tenure across Rwandan society.

Pit Latrine and Handwashing Station Integration for Sustainable Sanitation in Ethiopian Rural Communities
type: item
description: In Ethiopia, rural communities often lack adequate sanitation facilities, leading to poor hygiene practices and increased risk of waterborne diseases. A participatory approach involving community members to design and implement the sanitation facilities, followed by monitoring and evaluation through surveys and hygiene education workshops. The combined use of improved pit latrines and handwashing stations has proven effective in promoting better hygiene practices, thereby improving health outcomes and reducing infection rates among rural communities in Ethiopia. Implementing similar integrated sanitation solutions should be prioritised to address the urgent need for sustainable sanitation facilities in Ethiopian rural areas.

Resource Governance Law and Community Rights Frontiers in DRC and Senegal
type: item
description: The DRC and Senegal are African countries grappling with natural resource governance challenges, particularly in relation to local communities' rights. This study employed a comparative analysis approach, examining laws, policies, and case studies from DRC and Senegal to understand their impact on local communities. In both countries, there are significant disparities in how resource governance laws protect community rights. For example, the proportion of land disputes resolved through legal channels is notably higher in Senegal compared to DRC. While both nations have made strides in recognising and protecting local communities' interests, further legislative reforms are needed to ensure comprehensive legal protections. Both governments should prioritise implementing and enforcing laws that safeguard community rights more effectively, with a focus on improving dispute resolution mechanisms.

Quantitative Assessment of Child Protection Insurance Adoption Rates in West African Countries
type: item
description: Child protection insurance programmes have been proposed as a means to enhance safety nets for vulnerable children in West Africa. However, their adoption rates and effectiveness remain uncertain. A quantitative study was conducted using survey data collected from households in Tanzania. The analysis focused on identifying factors influencing programme uptake and evaluating short-term impacts. In Tanzania, only 15% of surveyed households had enrolled their children in child protection insurance programmes at the end of the two-year period. Factors such as financial constraints and lack of awareness were significant barriers. While initial enrollment rates were low, there is potential for increased uptake with targeted interventions to address identified barriers. Public health campaigns should be intensified to increase awareness about child protection insurance programmes. Financial assistance initiatives could also help reduce costs associated with participation.
