Between Chiefs and Courts: Legal Pluralism and Access to Justice in Post-Conflict South Sudan
type: item
description: Between Chiefs and Courts: Legal Pluralism and Access to Justice in Post-Conflict South Sudan examines the coexistence of customary, statutory, and international legal orders and how they distribute justice unevenly across gender, class, and locality. Centering South Sudan without treating it as exceptional, the study situates the case within broader debates in legal pluralism, transitional justice, and post-colonial jurisprudence. It develops the concept of layered legality to explain how overlapping legal systems, institutional arrangements, and struggles over authority shape access to justice. Drawing on legal ethnographic fieldwork in community courts in Bor, Rumbek, Wau, and Yambio; analysis of court records and case outcomes; interviews with chiefs, women litigants, lawyers, and UNMISS Rule of Law advisors; and comparative insights from Liberia, Kenya, and Mozambique, the study advances three linked propositions. First, communities actively navigate a tripartite legal order rather than relying on a single system. Second, customary justice often reproduces gendered exclusion despite its accessibility. Third, institutional reform is most effective when it engages rather than delegitimizes local justice practices. The analysis addresses the central question of how different social groups access and move between customary, statutory, and international legal frameworks, and how gender, ethnicity, and class shape these pathways. It shows that legal systems, narratives, and institutional practices function as political instruments rather than neutral mechanisms. The study concludes that justice reforms fail when they attempt to replace plural systems without addressing underlying inequalities, and it identifies pathways for more inclusive and context-sensitive approaches

Militarised Customary Brokerage: Armed Conflict and the Transformation of Traditional Governance in South Sudan
type: item
description: Armed conflict in South Sudan has not simply eroded customary governance; it has reconfigured it. Chiefs and elders have increasingly become brokers of security, aid, mobility, and legitimacy, operating within a landscape where authority is expanded, politicised, and contested. The concept of militarised customary brokerage captures how customary institutions are reshaped under conditions of sustained violence, transforming their roles within systems of legal pluralism and local governance. Situated within debates on African political order, state formation, and institutional design, the manuscript examines how conflict restructures rather than destroys traditional authority. Focusing on South Sudan, with comparative reference to Northern Uganda and Eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo, the study addresses three interrelated questions: how prolonged conflict has reshaped the authority, legitimacy, and political economy of chiefs and elders in Dinka, Nuer, and Acholi communities; under what conditions armed groups co-opt customary authorities as recruitment brokers, tax intermediaries, and intelligence sources, and how this affects their legitimacy; and what role customary dispute resolution practices—such as cattle compensation, inter-clan negotiation, and Mato oput—play in community-level conflict management, particularly in relation to formal transitional justice processes. Methodologically, the study draws on multi-site ethnographic fieldwork in Bor, Rumbek, Torit, and Yambio, complemented by interviews with chiefs, women’s groups, youth leaders, and returned internally displaced persons. It also incorporates archival research in Church of Sudan and colonial administrative records, alongside comparative analysis with Northern Uganda and Eastern DRC. The findings

Militarised Customary Brokerage: Armed Conflict and the Transformation of Traditional Governance in South Sudan
type: item
description: This article develops militarised customary brokerage as an analytical lens for understanding customary authority, legal pluralism, and the wartime remaking of local governance. Rather than treating customary authority, armed conflict, and the transformation of traditional governance in south sudan as a descriptive case, the manuscript argues that armed conflict has not simply destroyed customary governance in South Sudan; it has reorganised it, turning chiefs and elders into brokers of security, aid, mobility, and legitimacy whose authority is simultaneously expanded, politicised, and contested. Anchored in Legal pluralism (Griffiths; Merry); customary authority in African politics (Mamdani; Englebert; Tignor); transitional justice and traditional justice (Huyse & Salter). Examines how armed conflict transforms rather than merely destroys customary governance institutions. the paper translates the topic brief into three linked questions: How has sustained armed conflict reshaped the authority, legitimacy, and political economy of chiefs and elders in Dinka, Nuer, and Acholi communities and in what directions has this transformation moved? Under what conditions have armed groups instrumentalised customary authorities co-opting chiefs as recruitment brokers, tax collectors, and intelligence sources and how has this affected the legitimacy of traditional governance? What role do customary dispute resolution mechanisms cattle compensation, inter-clan negotiation, mato oput play in community-level conflict management, and how do they interact with formal transitional justice processes? Methodologically, it is organised around Multi-site ethnographic fieldwork in Bor, Rumbek, Torit, and Yambio; interviews with chiefs, women's groups, youth leaders, and returned IDPs; archiva

Between Chiefs and Courts: Legal Pluralism and Access to Justice in Post-Conflict South Sudan
type: item
description: Between Chiefs and Courts: Legal Pluralism and Access to Justice in Post-Conflict South Sudan examines the coexistence of customary, statutory, and international legal orders that allocate justice unequally across gender, class, and locality. The article places South Sudan at the centre of the analysis, but it resists treating the case as uniquely exceptional or analytically sealed off from wider African and global debates. Instead, it brings Legal pluralism (Griffiths; Merry; Benda-Beckmann); transitional justice and customary law (Huyse & Salter; Clark on Gacaca); post-colonial jurisprudence (Mamdani). Examines the coexistence of statutory, customary, and international legal frameworks in South Sudan and their differential accessibility to different social groups. into one conversation and develops the concept of layered legality to explain how formal norms, institutional design, and practical struggles over authority become fused. Using Legal ethnographic fieldwork at community courts in Bor, Rumbek, Wau, and Yambio; analysis of court records and case outcomes; interviews with chiefs, women litigants, lawyers, and UNMISS Rule of Law advisors; comparative analysis with customary law reform in Liberia, Kenya, and Mozambique., the paper reconstructs three linked propositions. First, it shows that navigating tripartite legal orders. Second, it demonstrates that gendered exclusion inside customary justice. Third, it argues that institutional reform without delegitimising local justice. The paper answers the central puzzle posed by the research agenda—how do south sudanese communities navigate a tripartite legal landscape — customary law administered by chiefs, statutory law in magistrate courts, and international human rights standards — and how do gender, ethnicity, and

Agroforestry Systems and Farmer Profitability in Eastern Uganda
type: item
description: Agroforestry systems combine trees with crops or livestock in a sustainable manner, offering potential for increased productivity and resilience in resource-poor settings such as Eastern Uganda. A mixed-methods approach combining household surveys with qualitative data collection to assess farmer perceptions, practices, and financial performance across different agroforestry systems in the region. The analysis reveals that integrating trees into farming significantly increases overall income by an average of 25% for participating farmers compared to traditional farming methods. Agroforestry systems show promise as a viable strategy for enhancing farmer profitability and environmental sustainability, particularly in resource-constrained agricultural landscapes. Local governments should encourage the adoption of agroforestry through policy support, extension services, and financial incentives to promote biodiversity and economic benefits among smallholder farmers.

Patient Satisfaction and Recovery Rates in Community-Based Healthcare Models Across Tanzanian Health Centers
type: item
description: Community-based healthcare models are gaining traction in Tanzania as a means of enhancing access to health services in underserved areas. These models often involve local community participation and decision-making, which can impact patient satisfaction and recovery rates. The research employed qualitative methods including participant observation, semi-structured interviews with patients and healthcare providers, and document review. Data were collected from five randomly selected health centers within each district to ensure broad representativeness. Patient satisfaction scores in community-based models averaged 85%, indicating a positive perception of service quality among users. Recovery rates showed significant improvement over traditional settings, with an average increase of 20% for chronic diseases. Community-based healthcare models appear to be effective in improving patient outcomes and satisfaction in Tanzanian health centers, though further longitudinal studies are needed to validate these initial findings. Policy makers should prioritise community engagement and support the expansion of community-based healthcare initiatives. Healthcare providers need training on culturally sensitive practices that enhance patient-centred care within these models.

Constitutional Review and Democratic Consolidation in Comoros
type: item
description: Comoros is a small archipelago nation in the Indian Ocean facing challenges in consolidating its democratic institutions following several constitutional reviews over the past decade. This survey research employs structured questionnaires distributed among governmental officials, civil society organizations, and community leaders across all three islands of Comoros to gather comprehensive insights into the constitutional review processes and their effects on democratic consolidation. The analysis reveals a significant increase in public awareness about constitutional rights post-review phases, with 75% of respondents indicating improved understanding compared to pre-revision levels. However, challenges persist regarding enforcement mechanisms and equitable distribution of power among different societal groups. While constitutional reviews have raised public consciousness, their impact on actual democratic consolidation is tempered by ongoing issues related to governance gaps and social inequality. Enhanced collaboration between the legislative branch and civil society organizations can facilitate more effective implementation of new legal provisions. Strengthening enforcement mechanisms and ensuring inclusivity in power distribution are crucial for sustained progress towards genuine democracy.

Sustainable Development Dynamics in Nigerian Law
type: item
description: Sustainable development in Nigeria is increasingly recognised as a critical area for legal reform to address environmental degradation and social inequality. This analysis employs a jurisprudential approach, drawing from case studies and scholarly literature to assess current laws and suggest improvements for aligning them with global best practices in sustainable development. Key themes identified include the need for stronger enforcement mechanisms and integration of traditional ecological knowledge into legal systems to promote sustainable land use practices among communities. While existing laws are robust, their implementation is hindered by gaps in governance structures and lack of community engagement. Recommendations aim to bridge these gaps through legislative amendments and public education initiatives. Recommendations include strengthening enforcement bodies, integrating traditional ecological knowledge into legal systems, and implementing participatory planning processes with local communities.

Incidence Rates of Diarrheal Diseases Among Urban Children in Lagos Post-Public Health Policy Implementation
type: item
description: Diarrheal diseases remain a significant public health concern in urban areas of Lagos, Nigeria, despite ongoing efforts to improve sanitation and hygiene. The study employed a comparative analysis of data from pre- and post-policy periods, utilising surveys and secondary administrative records to assess changes in diarrheal disease prevalence. Within the first year following policy implementation, there was a notable reduction in reported cases of acute diarrhea among children aged 0-5 years, with an observed decrease of approximately 12% compared to baseline data. Public health policies have shown promise in mitigating diarrheal disease incidence rates within urban settings of Lagos. Further research is recommended to evaluate long-term impacts and sustainability. Continued support for public health initiatives, along with community engagement programmes, are crucial for sustaining these benefits.
