Credit Score Improvement Among Rural Ethiopian Women Farmers Through Microcredit Access and Financial Literacy Training
Microcredit programmes have been implemented in Ethiopia to support rural women farmers by providing access to financial services that can improve their economic status and credit scores. The study employs a qualitative research design involving semi-structured interviews and focus group discussions with selected participants from targeted regions. Data collection is supplemented by secondary data analysis to contextualize findings within broader socioeconomic frameworks. Rural Ethiopian women farmers who received microcredit access alongside financial literacy training saw an average improvement of 15 percentage points in their credit scores compared to those without such interventions, indicating a significant positive impact on their financial management and accessibility to credit markets. The study confirms the effectiveness of microcredit programmes coupled with financial education in improving rural women farmers' credit scores, contributing to enhanced economic resilience and development in Ethiopian villages. Policy makers should consider integrating financial literacy training into microcredit schemes as a complementary strategy to promote sustainable agricultural practices and economic growth in Ethiopia’s rural communities.

Natural resource governance in DRC has significant implications for local communities in Tanzania, where natural resources are often managed by central authorities without adequate consultation or participation from affected parties. A comprehensive survey research method was employed to gather data from legal experts, government officials, and community leaders in both DRC and Tanzania. Data were analysed using thematic analysis to identify patterns and themes related to governance practices and their effects on local communities. The findings indicate that while there are legislative frameworks in place, significant gaps exist in implementing these laws consistently across jurisdictions. Local communities often face challenges in accessing resources due to lack of legal protections and enforcement mechanisms. This study highlights the importance of harmonizing national laws with international standards and improving local participation in resource management decisions to better protect the rights of affected communities. Recommendations include strengthening legislative frameworks, enhancing community engagement, and providing technical support for implementation. Additionally, promoting regional cooperation could help bridge governance gaps between DRC and Tanzania.
Adoption Rates and Performance Impact Analysis of E-Learning Platforms Among Nigerian Primary School Teachers
E-learning platforms have become integral in education systems globally, offering innovative solutions for teaching and learning. In Nigeria, primary school teachers face significant challenges in adopting these technologies due to limited access and training opportunities. A mixed-methods approach combining survey data with qualitative interviews was employed. The study targeted 500 randomly selected primary school teachers across Nigeria's major cities and rural areas. The findings indicate that only 32% of surveyed teachers reported using e-learning platforms regularly, highlighting a substantial gap in technology adoption. Additionally, there is a noticeable disparity in performance improvements between those who use these tools and those who do not. This study underscores the critical need for targeted policy interventions to improve teacher training on e-learning technologies and increase access to such resources in Nigerian schools. The government should prioritise funding for professional development programmes focused on integrating e-learning platforms into classroom practices. Additionally, expanding internet connectivity in remote areas is recommended.

Blockchain Innovations in Land Rights Registration
This article examines the innovative use of blockchain technology in land rights registration within Lagos slums in Nigeria. This study employs a conceptual analysis approach, drawing from existing literature on blockchain technology, property law, and urban development policies. The proposed theoretical framework underscores the potential benefits of integrating blockchain technology into urban development strategies, particularly in addressing issues related to property rights and tenure security in informal settlements. Authorities should consider pilot projects to validate the effectiveness of blockchain solutions before full-scale implementation. Additionally, there is a need for comprehensive legal frameworks that align with technological advancements.
Dispute Resolution Mechanisms in Access to Justice
This study investigates traditional dispute resolution mechanisms in Egypt's legal system, focusing on their role in access to justice. Qualitative research was employed, involving semi-structured interviews with judges, lawyers, community leaders, and litigants in rural and urban settings across Egypt. Data were analysed using thematic analysis to identify patterns and themes. Traditional dispute resolution mechanisms are predominantly used by marginalized communities in rural areas where formal legal services are scarce or ineffective. They play a critical role in resolving conflicts quickly and at low cost, often involving community elders and religious leaders. The study reveals that traditional methods provide essential access to justice for underserved populations but may undermine the authority of modern courts when disputes conflict with statutory laws. Policy recommendations include integrating traditional practices into formal legal systems where appropriate, enhancing public education on both legal and alternative dispute resolution mechanisms, and improving infrastructure in rural areas to support these processes.

Environmental Law Enforcement and Corporate Accountability in Nigeria
Nigeria faces significant environmental challenges due to inadequate enforcement of its environmental laws, leading to corporate accountability issues. The study employed semi-structured interviews with key stakeholders including government officials, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), and affected corporations. Data analysis utilised thematic coding to identify patterns and themes. Interviews revealed that while some companies implement voluntary environmental measures in response to enforcement actions, others continue operations without substantial compliance efforts. Despite limited formal legal repercussions for non-compliance, the threat of enforcement acts as a deterrent in motivating corporate accountability. However, there is room for improvement in enforcing existing laws effectively. Strengthening environmental law enforcement mechanisms and increasing public awareness on environmental responsibility are recommended to enhance corporate accountability.
Comparative Analysis of Gender-Based Violence Prevention Strategies in Nigerian Urban Slums, 2008
Gender-based violence (GBV) remains a significant challenge in Nigerian urban slums, with high rates of physical and psychological harm reported among women. The study employed qualitative methods including semi-structured interviews with stakeholders (government officials, NGO representatives, community leaders), participant observation, and document review. Data were analysed using thematic content analysis. A notable finding was the significant role played by local government initiatives in providing safe spaces for women, which saw a 30% reduction in GBV incidents reported compared to previous years. While effective interventions exist, there is still room for improvement in terms of coordination and resource allocation among different stakeholders. Collaboration between governmental bodies and non-governmental organizations can enhance GBV prevention efforts. Stakeholders should prioritise joint planning and implementation strategies to address the multifaceted nature of GBV issues within urban slums effectively.

Constitutionalism and Legal Paramountcy in African Transitions
In recent years, Egypt has experienced significant political transitions characterized by constitutional reforms aimed at strengthening legal institutions and ensuring the rule of law. The analysis will draw from existing literature and legal precedents to construct an analytical model examining the dynamics of constitutional governance and legal authority. This framework offers a comprehensive lens for assessing the efficacy of constitutional measures and legal structures in fostering stable governance transitions. Policy-makers should prioritise strengthening independent judiciaries and enhancing civic education to support the effective implementation of constitutional provisions.
