Youth Livelihood Initiatives in Somalia’s Conflict-Affected Areas
type: item
description: Youth unemployment is a significant challenge in Somalia’s conflict-affected regions, where economic opportunities are scarce and social structures have been disrupted by ongoing violence. The research employs a mixed-methods approach, combining qualitative interviews with quantitative surveys among participants who have completed the training programmes. Data analysis includes thematic coding and statistical testing for employment creation outcomes. Entrepreneurship training significantly improved participants' business skills (65% reported enhanced abilities), leading to an increase in income-generating ventures by 30% compared to baseline levels, though with varying success across different sectors. While the training programmes show promise for boosting youth entrepreneurial potential and employment creation, their efficacy varies depending on local economic conditions and support structures. Future interventions should focus on strengthening post-training mentoring and financial assistance mechanisms to ensure sustained business growth among beneficiaries.

Gender Justice and Legal Empowerment in Rural Ethiopia
type: item
description: In rural Ethiopia, gender disparities in legal rights and access to justice persist, highlighting a critical area for intervention. A quantitative research design was employed, utilising structured questionnaires distributed across randomly selected villages. Women reported significant barriers to accessing justice, particularly related to inheritance and land disputes, with over 70% of respondents experiencing such challenges. The findings underscore the need for targeted legal education programmes and improved access to judicial services in rural settings. Policy recommendations include enhancing women's legal literacy and improving infrastructure for justice delivery in remote areas. Legal Empowerment, Gender Justice, Rural Ethiopia, Women’s Rights

description: In rural Ethiopia, gender disparities in legal rights persist despite recent legislative reforms aimed at enhancing women's empowerment. The study employed both qualitative in-depth interviews (n=30) with women's rights advocates and quantitative survey data (n=500) to gather information on legal awareness, utilization of services, and perceived barriers to justice. Data were analysed using thematic coding for qualitative analysis and descriptive statistics for quantitative analysis. The findings revealed that while there has been a significant increase in women's access to legal aid and courts, cultural norms continue to pose substantial obstacles to gender equality in rural settings. Specifically, only 45% of respondents reported feeling adequately informed about their rights compared to the legislative mandate of 100%. Furthermore, over 60% cited lack of awareness as a key hindrance. The mixed methods approach highlights both areas where legal empowerment has been successful and those requiring further intervention. The study underscores the need for targeted educational programmes and community engagement initiatives to address cultural biases and improve women's access to justice. Recommendation 1: Develop culturally sensitive legal education programmes tailored to rural communities. Recommendation 2: Enhance collaboration between government agencies, civil society organizations, and local leaders to promote gender equality through multi-sectoral approaches.

Constitutionalism and Legal Order in Tanzania's Transitions
type: item
description: Constitutionalism and legal order in Tanzania have been subject to significant transitions since independence, influenced by both domestic political dynamics and external factors such as international law and economic integration. A comparative analysis approach is employed, drawing from case studies of past and current constitutional revisions, as well as empirical data from Tanzanian courts and legislative records. The study integrates qualitative and quantitative methods to provide a comprehensive understanding of the legal landscape in Tanzania. The findings indicate that while there has been progress in judicial independence and legal reforms, challenges persist in ensuring consistent application of laws across different sectors and regions in Tanzania. Despite the strides made towards constitutionalism and the rule of law, persistent issues related to judicial independence and regional disparities require further attention and policy interventions. The recommendations include strengthening institutional mechanisms for legal compliance, enhancing judicial training programmes, and promoting cross-regional collaboration in legal implementation.

Pre-Trial Detention Reform in Uganda
type: item
description: Uganda's criminal justice system has struggled with high levels of pre-trial detention, which can lead to prolonged incarceration and undermine the efficiency and fairness of the legal process. The analysis will draw upon existing literature, official reports, and expert interviews to assess current practices and propose targeted policy recommendations for reforming pre-trial detention procedures. Findings indicate that approximately 70% of detainees remain in custody awaiting trial for periods exceeding six months, highlighting the need for systemic changes. The proposed reforms include expanding access to legal representation, improving pre-arrest procedures, and enhancing judicial efficiency to reduce unnecessary detention times. Recommendations include increasing funding for legal aid services, implementing mandatory video hearings, and establishing protocols for early release of detainees awaiting trial.

The Legal Landscape of Refugees and Asylum Seekers in East Africa Within Egyptian Contexts
type: item
description: The legal status of refugees and asylum seekers in East Africa is a complex and evolving issue, with significant implications for both national and international policies. The research employs qualitative methods, including participant observation, semi-structured interviews, and document analysis, conducted among a diverse sample of stakeholders including refugees, government officials, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), and law practitioners. A key finding is the significant disparity in legal recognition rates between different regions within Egypt, with northern provinces having higher acceptance rates than southern ones (30% vs. 15%). The findings highlight the critical need for regional harmonization of asylum procedures and increased support for vulnerable populations. Policy recommendations include the establishment of a centralized database to track refugee cases across Egypt, and the implementation of culturally sensitive training programmes for law enforcement officers.

The analysis employs a conceptual synthesis approach, integrating existing literature from environmental law, business ethics, and corporate governance. This framework provides a theoretical basis for understanding the complexities of environmental law implementation and corporate responsibility in Nigerian contexts. Enhanced legal penalties, strengthened regulatory bodies, and increased public awareness are recommended to improve compliance rates.

Local Community Rights and Natural Resource Governance Law in DRC and Senegal
type: item
description: Natural resource governance in developing countries often faces challenges related to balancing economic development with environmental sustainability and local community rights. The analysis is based on a comparative legal framework review, focusing on legislation, case law, and stakeholder perspectives from both countries. In DRC, the 'Law on the Sustainable Management of Natural Resources' () mandates community participation in resource management committees; in Senegal, the 'Code Forestier' () includes provisions for local community involvement in forest governance councils. These frameworks have seen mixed implementation and enforcement. Both countries benefit from strengthening legal protections for indigenous communities over natural resources, but significant improvements are needed in policy enforcement and stakeholder engagement. Implementing effective monitoring mechanisms to ensure compliance with community rights laws is crucial. Additionally, fostering collaborative partnerships between government agencies, NGOs, and local communities can enhance resource governance outcomes.

Constitutional Review Processes and Democratic Consolidation in Mauritius
type: item
description: Constitutional review processes are critical for maintaining democratic governance in any legal system. Mauritius has experienced significant constitutional changes since its independence in , providing a unique case study to explore how these reviews contribute to the consolidation of democracy. The research employs a mixed-methods approach combining quantitative survey data with qualitative case studies from key stakeholders involved in recent constitutional reviews. Data collection includes surveys of the general population and interviews with legal experts and government officials. Recent constitutional changes have been generally well-received by the public, with support rates exceeding 80%. However, there is a notable interest in strengthening judicial independence and expanding social welfare provisions. This study underscores the importance of transparent and participatory processes in constitutional reforms to ensure their democratic legitimacy. Recommendations include enhancing consultation mechanisms and aligning legal changes more closely with public expectations for social equity. Enhance stakeholder engagement through regular consultations before major constitutional amendments, particularly focusing on expanding access to justice and improving social welfare systems. Incorporate a broader spectrum of societal voices in the decision-making process.

Policy Analysis of Crop Insurance for Malawi's Smallholder Farmers in an African Context,
type: item
description: Crop insurance for smallholder farmers in Malawi has been a topic of interest due to its potential to mitigate agricultural risks and improve food security. The study employs a qualitative approach to examine existing policies and farmer perceptions, supplemented by secondary data analysis from official reports and interviews conducted with stakeholders. A key finding is that while the insurance schemes were operational in some areas, there was significant variation in coverage rates and uptake among different regions and farmers. Despite efforts to expand crop insurance programmes, limited financial resources and awareness remain critical barriers to its widespread adoption by smallholder farmers in Malawi. Enhanced outreach initiatives and improved communication strategies are recommended to bridge the gap between policy makers and target farmer groups.

Financial Empowerment Through Microinsurance and Savings Groups in Mozambique
type: item
description: Financial empowerment programmes have been introduced in various contexts to support marginalized populations, including microinsurance and savings groups. In Mozambique, these initiatives aim to enhance economic stability and social welfare through collective financial management. The study employs a combination of qualitative interviews (n=30) supplemented by quantitative surveys (n=500), conducted across different regions of Mozambique. Data analysis utilizes thematic coding and statistical tests to assess programme effectiveness and participant experiences. Participants reported significant improvements in financial stability, with an average increase in savings rates of 42% over a year following group formation. Microinsurance and savings groups have proven effective in fostering financial empowerment among Mozambican communities. Further research is recommended to explore long-term sustainability and scalability of these programmes. Policy makers should consider integrating microinsurance and savings initiatives into existing social welfare frameworks, alongside broader economic development strategies.

Technological Adoption Among Smallholder Irrigators in Eastern Zimbabwe
type: item
description: In Eastern Zimbabwe, smallholder irrigators face significant challenges in adopting new technologies to improve their agricultural productivity and income stability. An action research approach was employed, involving interviews with 50 smallholder farmers, focus group discussions, and a survey questionnaire. Data were analysed using thematic content analysis. Approximately 60% of the surveyed participants reported receiving financial incentives from government schemes that positively impacted their decision to adopt new irrigation technologies. The study underscores the importance of integrating economic support mechanisms with community engagement strategies for effective technology diffusion among smallholder irrigators in Eastern Zimbabwe. Local authorities and development partners should prioritise the design of incentive programmes tailored to specific needs, complemented by targeted awareness campaigns about available technologies. smallholder irrigation, technological adoption, incentives, action research, community support
