Land Reform Impacts in Post-Ethiopian Occupation Somalia
type: item
description: Post-Ethiopian occupation Somalia has faced significant socio-economic challenges, with land reform being a critical area of focus for restoring livelihoods and stability. An action research methodology was employed, involving semi-structured interviews with 50 community leaders and focus group discussions with 30 households across Mogadishu and Hargeisa. Data collected included qualitative insights into land use patterns, socio-economic benefits, and challenges. A notable trend emerged where approximately 60% of respondents reported increased agricultural productivity following the implementation of land reforms, indicating improved access to resources for local farmers. The findings suggest that comprehensive land reform initiatives can enhance economic stability and social harmony in post-occupation Somalia by addressing critical resource management issues. Policy makers should prioritise equitable distribution of land rights and sustainable agricultural practices as key components of future reforms, alongside strengthening community engagement mechanisms.

Solar-Powered Irrigation in Semi-Arid Ethiopia
type: item
description: Solar-powered irrigation systems are increasingly being deployed in semi-arid regions of Ethiopia to enhance agricultural productivity and sustainability. A mixed-methods approach combining quantitative data analysis with qualitative interviews was employed to assess system performance and user acceptance. Solar energy generated an average of 20% more than initially anticipated, significantly reducing operational costs for farmers in the region. The study concludes that solar-powered irrigation systems are economically viable and technologically adaptable for semi-arid Ethiopian farming communities. Government policies should prioritise subsidies and training programmes to facilitate wider adoption of these technologies.

Five-Year Community Mobilization Impact on HIV Prevention Among Key Populations in Urban Zambia
type: item
description: Urban areas in Zambia have seen significant challenges in HIV prevention among key populations such as sex workers and men who have sex with men (MSM). Community mobilization programmes have been implemented to address these issues. A mixed-methods approach was employed, combining quantitative data from health facility records and qualitative insights through interviews with stakeholders and focus group discussions among key population members. Significant reductions in HIV prevalence were observed among key populations, with a 30% decrease in new infections reported over the five-year period, particularly evident in sex workers who received targeted interventions. Community mobilization programmes have demonstrated effectiveness in reducing HIV transmission rates among key populations in urban Zambia. However, challenges persist related to sustained funding and community engagement. Continued support for community-led initiatives is recommended alongside enhanced collaboration with government agencies and international organizations.

Precision Agriculture in Southern Madagascar
type: item
description: Precision agriculture involves the use of advanced technologies to optimise crop yields while minimising environmental impact. In Madagascar, particularly in southern regions known for rice cultivation, precision farming techniques have shown promise in enhancing productivity and sustainability. A literature review will be conducted to identify existing research on precision agriculture and its applications in agricultural settings. Theoretical models will then be developed to analyse potential outcomes, focusing on cost-benefit analyses and ecological footprints. This theoretical model provides a robust foundation for policymakers and agricultural practitioners considering the adoption of precision farming techniques in Madagascar's southern rice-growing regions. Policymakers should consider funding pilot projects to test the feasibility of precision agriculture, while farmers are encouraged to adopt these practices through training programmes.

Sustainable Practices in Northern Ghana's Rainfed Cropping Systems
type: item
description: Northern Ghana's rainfed cropping systems are crucial for smallholder farmers, but their sustainability is challenged by climate variability and market fluctuations. A mixed-methods approach combining qualitative interviews with quantitative data analysis to understand farmer perceptions and system performance. Sustainable farming systems can significantly improve economic outcomes and resilience for smallholder farmers in northern Ghana's rainfed areas. Government should invest in infrastructure support for water harvesting and provide training on modern agricultural techniques to enhance adoption rates.

Climate Change Resilience Training and Agricultural Yield Stability Among Smallholder Farmers in Zimbabwe's Southern Highlands
type: item
description: Climate change poses significant challenges to agricultural productivity in Zimbabwe's Southern Highlands, affecting smallholder farmers' livelihoods. A mixed-method approach combining qualitative interviews with quantitative data analysis to evaluate farmer perceptions and yield outcomes post-training programmes. Sustained increases in maize yields by an average of 20% were observed after participating in climate change resilience training, contributing to enhanced livelihood stability among farmers. The training significantly improved smallholder farmers' capacity to adapt to climate variability, leading to more stable agricultural outputs and reduced economic vulnerability. Expand climate change resilience training programmes to cover a broader range of crops and farming practices in Southern Highlands, alongside policy support for sustainable agriculture development.

Adolescent Sexual Health Education Curricula in South Africa
type: item
description: Adolescent sexual health education (ASEHE) is critical for promoting healthy behaviors and reducing risky practices among young people in South Africa. The study utilised a comparative design involving surveys administered to students from various schools, stratified by region. Data was collected using standardised assessment tools designed to measure both knowledge acquisition and behavioural intentions related to sexual health. In the regions with highest ASEHE curriculum adoption rates, there was an observed increase of 15% in adolescent knowledge scores regarding safe sex practices. The findings suggest that increased implementation of ASEHE curricula is associated with better adolescent understanding and application of sexual health knowledge. Schools should be encouraged to adopt the ASEHE curriculum, particularly in regions where it has been underutilized, to further enhance students' knowledge and behaviour regarding sexual health.
