Corporate Deniability in a War Economy: Oil Majors, Contract Opacity, and Conflict Finance in South Sudan
type: item
description: Oil-sector governance in South Sudan reveals how corporate practices, opaque contracting, and soft-law human-rights standards intersect with state predation and conflict financing. Focusing on South Sudanese oil operations—with comparative reference to Angola, Chad, and Nigeria—this study explores how corporate deniability within conflict-linked extraction has shaped political order from the post-Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA) settlement through the post-2013 conflict period. The analysis combines insights from corporate governance theory, business and human rights, and the political economy of extractive industries. It is grounded in a research design that integrates close reading of corporate and contract documents, interpretive use of sustainability reporting and human-rights frameworks, and cross-case comparison within extractive governance contexts. The central argument is that the dynamics observed are not reducible to discrete policy failures or episodic crises. Instead, they are sustained through interconnected institutional and political mechanisms that progressively reshape incentives, authority, and control over resources. These mechanisms enable forms of corporate deniability that diffuse responsibility while reinforcing patterns of predation and conflict finance. The study traces how such processes operate in practice, the variation they generate across cases, and why reform initiatives that overlook the underlying political settlement tend to produce limited or short-lived outcomes. By bringing together conceptual insights and comparative evidence, the article offers both a theoretical synthesis and an empirically grounded interpretation of the South Sudan case. Its broader implication is that meaningful reform requires more than technical fixes: it d

Enforcement Mechanisms in Kenyan Domestic Courts
type: item
description: Human rights law enforcement in Kenyan domestic courts has been a subject of increasing interest due to the country's commitment to upholding international human rights standards. This analysis employs a qualitative approach, drawing from case law databases and legal scholarship to identify trends and challenges related to human rights enforcement. A notable theme emerging from the analysis is the underutilization of existing judicial remedies for human rights violations, with only 15% of cases resulting in effective remedies over the last five years. While significant strides have been made in recognising human rights within the Kenyan legal framework, there remains a substantial gap in their practical enforcement by domestic courts. The establishment of specialized human rights tribunals and mandatory training for judges on human rights law are recommended to enhance compliance with international standards.

The Legal Landscape of Refugees and Asylum Seekers in East Africa Within Egyptian Jurisprudence
type: item
description: The study examines the legal framework governing refugees and asylum seekers in East Africa within Egyptian jurisprudence. Qualitative research methods will be employed to analyse primary legal documents and secondary scholarly literature, including court decisions, government reports, and international treaties relevant to refugee law in Egypt. A notable finding is the significant disparity between formal legal provisions and practical implementation regarding asylum seekers' housing rights, with a proportion of cases resulting in inadequate accommodation solutions. The study highlights challenges in enforcing existing legal protections for refugees and suggests areas for reform to improve their living conditions. Egypt should strengthen its legal framework by aligning it more closely with international standards and enhancing enforcement mechanisms to ensure that refugee rights are upheld.

and Sustainable Development in Algerian Legal Contexts
type: item
description: Algeria, a North African country, has made efforts to align its legal frameworks with global commitments towards sustainable development, particularly through sector-specific laws and international agreements. This analysis employs a comparative legal approach, reviewing existing laws, regulations, and policies within the specified sectors. A thematic review of relevant court decisions and academic literature will also be conducted to provide insights into practical application and challenges faced by stakeholders. The findings indicate that while Algeria has enacted several sustainable development-related laws, there is a notable disparity between legislative provisions and their actual implementation in practice, particularly concerning environmental protection measures and resource management policies. The conclusion suggests that despite progress, significant improvements are needed to ensure alignment with international best practices. This includes strengthening enforcement mechanisms and fostering greater stakeholder engagement. Recommendations include the need for more comprehensive legal frameworks, enhanced judicial oversight, and public-private partnerships to address identified gaps effectively.

description: This study examines gender-sensitive microfinance programmes aimed at empowering female entrepreneurs in Nairobi, Kenya, focusing on their business growth and microfinance adoption outcomes over a three-year period. The research employs a mixed-methods approach combining qualitative interviews with quantitative data analysis on business performance metrics from participating female entrepreneurs enrolled in various empowerment programmes. A total of 150 women were surveyed for this study. Female entrepreneurs demonstrated significant increases in sales revenue and customer base over the three-year period, with a notable proportion (42%) reporting higher profits post-programme participation. The findings suggest that gender-sensitive microfinance programmes effectively support business growth among female entrepreneurs in Nairobi. However, persistent challenges such as lack of collateral and discriminatory lending practices remain significant barriers to full adoption of microfinance solutions. Programmes should continue to prioritise addressing structural inequalities and provide tailored financial education for female entrepreneurs. Additionally, collaboration with local banks could enhance access to traditional financing sources.

Assessing Renewable Energy Grants in Off-Grid South African Communities
type: item
description: Renewable energy grants have been introduced to stimulate off-grid communities in South Africa's Northern Cape, aiming to enhance access to electricity and reduce reliance on fossil fuels. A survey research approach was employed to gather data from community leaders, local government officials, and renewable energy providers. The sample included 120 respondents across various off-grid communities in the Northern Cape region. The survey revealed that while over 75% of respondents reported an increase in solar panel installations due to grants, there were significant disparities in grant funding distribution among different community types and sizes. Despite initial successes, ongoing challenges such as uneven grant allocation and limited technical support persist, necessitating a more equitable policy framework and improved implementation strategies. Policy makers should prioritise transparent grant distribution mechanisms to ensure that all eligible communities receive the necessary funding. Additionally, enhanced technical training for community members is recommended to maximise energy efficiency and sustainability.
