Mental Health Support Programme's Impact on IT Professionals' Stress Levels in Nairobi, Kenya
type: item
description: Recent studies indicate a significant prevalence of workplace stress among IT professionals in Nairobi, Kenya. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a newly implemented mental health support programme designed specifically for this demographic. A comprehensive survey was conducted among IT professionals employed by major tech firms in Nairobi, including both quantitative and qualitative elements to gather detailed insights into their mental health experiences and perceptions of the programme. During the six-month study period, there was a notable reduction in reported stress levels among participants who received the mental health support compared to those not involved. Specifically, 75% of respondents indicated an improvement in overall well-being after engaging with the programme. The findings suggest that the mental health support programme is effective in mitigating workplace stress for IT professionals in Nairobi. The results highlight the importance of such initiatives in enhancing employee satisfaction and productivity. Based on these findings, it is recommended that similar programmes be expanded to include more firms and sectors within the tech industry to further benefit workers' mental health and overall job performance.

Human Rights Violations in Burundi
type: item
description: Human rights violations have been a persistent issue in Burundi, particularly in relation to resource extraction projects. The analysis employs an interdisciplinary approach combining legal frameworks, socio-economic data, and case studies to assess current policies and propose recommendations for improvement. A thematic review identified that approximately 30% of resource extraction projects have been associated with human rights violations, predominantly concerning labour rights and environmental degradation. The findings underscore the need for stronger enforcement mechanisms and stakeholder engagement to ensure compliance with international human rights standards in Burundi’s resource sector. A key recommendation is the establishment of a national oversight committee to monitor all resource extraction projects and enforce adherence to human rights laws, supplemented by transparent grievance redress mechanisms.

Constitutional Review and Democratic Consolidation in Libya
type: item
description: Libya has experienced significant political instability since the overthrow of Muammar Gaddafi in , leading to a fragmented governance structure and ongoing constitutional challenges. The analysis employs qualitative methods including a comprehensive examination of legislative documents, interviews with key stakeholders, and an assessment of public opinion surveys conducted in . Recent constitutional reviews have led to the adoption of several reforms aimed at reducing executive influence over state institutions, though implementation remains uneven across different regions. While progress has been made towards consolidating Libya's democratic framework, significant challenges persist related to enforcement and public acceptance of new policies. Further efforts are required to ensure comprehensive implementation of constitutional reforms and address regional disparities in policy adoption.

Indigenous Knowledge Systems as Frameworks for Climate Change Adaptation in Southern Ivorian Villages
type: item
description: Southern Ivorian villages face significant climate change impacts such as erratic rainfall patterns and increased frequency of droughts and floods. A qualitative comparative analysis with case studies from Southern Ivorian villages and Egyptian agricultural communities.

Constitutional Review and Democratic Consolidation in Uganda
type: item
description: Uganda's recent constitutional review process has been a focal point of interest in both academic and policy circles as it aims to consolidate democratic governance. The study employs an ethnographic approach, utilising participant observation, interviews, and document analysis to gather data from various sectors within Ugandan society. The research participants include representatives from the Constitutional Review Commission, opposition parties, civil rights groups, and community leaders across different regions of Uganda. The review process has revealed a significant trend towards decentralization in governance structures, with a notable increase (over 20%) in local government powers compared to previous constitutions. This shift is viewed positively by many as enhancing accountability and responsiveness at the grassroots level. While the constitutional review has brought about positive changes in governance, challenges remain in terms of implementation and public engagement. The study highlights the importance of inclusive dialogue and community participation for successful democratic consolidation. The government should prioritise ongoing consultations with all sectors of society to ensure that the new constitution is not only well-intentioned but also widely supported. Additionally, policies aimed at strengthening local governance structures must be robust and sustainable.

Customary Law and Statutory Family Legal Intersections in Ghana's Context
type: item
description: Customary law in Ghana coexists with statutory family law, creating a complex legal landscape for resolving disputes in family matters. The study will employ a qualitative approach to analyse case studies from court records and interviews with legal practitioners and community leaders. A notable finding is the significant proportion (60%) of cases where both customary and statutory laws are applied simultaneously, leading to varied outcomes based on cultural interpretations versus formal legal prescriptions. The interplay between customary and statutory law in Ghana highlights the need for a harmonized approach that respects traditional practices while ensuring equitable treatment under the law. Develop guidelines that integrate customary and statutory laws to provide more consistent justice outcomes, particularly in sensitive family matters such as divorce and inheritance.

E-commerce Platforms and Food Security in Rural Ghana
type: item
description: This study examines the impact of e-commerce platforms on food security in rural Ghana by analysing adoption rates, market share growth, and changes in agricultural output over a one-year period. Qualitative research methods were employed through semi-structured interviews with farmers, focus group discussions, and observations at agricultural markets in rural Ghana. Data analysis focused on thematic coding of interview transcripts and field notes. A significant proportion (60%) of interviewed farmers reported increased market share for their products due to e-commerce platforms. Notably, maize yields improved by an average of 25% within the study period. The findings suggest that e-commerce platforms have facilitated greater access to markets and resources for rural farmers in Ghana, leading to improvements in food security outcomes. Government policies should support e-commerce infrastructure development to ensure broader benefits reach all rural communities. Agricultural extension services need to be equipped with training on digital marketing strategies.

Gender Disparities in Microfinance Access Among Ghanaian Smallholder Farmers
type: item
description: Ghana’s Volta Region is home to a significant number of smallholder farmers who rely on microfinance services for agricultural investments and income generation. A mixed-method approach combining qualitative interviews with quantitative data analysis was employed to gather insights from both male and female smallholder farmers in the region. The analysis revealed that women face substantial barriers in accessing microfinance services, including higher interest rates and inadequate collateral requirements, which limit their financial inclusion compared to men. Gender disparities in microfinance access among smallholder farmers are pronounced and have significant implications for agricultural development and economic empowerment within the region. Policy recommendations include reducing interest rates on microfinance loans specifically targeted at women, providing gender-sensitive training programmes, and increasing awareness campaigns about available financial services.
