Entrepreneurship Ecosystems and Innovation Hubs in East Africa
type: item
description: Entrepreneurship ecosystems and innovation hubs have become critical components in fostering economic development across East Africa, with South Africa playing a significant role as an emerging market. A qualitative approach was employed through semi-structured interviews with stakeholders from various sectors including government agencies, private sector companies, academic institutions, and non-governmental organizations. Data collection involved thematic analysis to identify common themes and patterns across different regions and sectors. The study revealed that while South Africa has seen a notable increase in the establishment of innovation hubs over the past decade, there remains significant variation in their effectiveness across different geographic areas. For instance, urban centers have demonstrated higher levels of collaboration between ecosystem actors compared to rural settings. This research underscores the importance of tailored strategies for promoting entrepreneurship and innovation within South Africa's diverse geography, highlighting the need for targeted interventions that address regional disparities. Recommendations include developing a more integrated policy framework that supports cross-regional collaboration among ecosystem actors, particularly focusing on rural areas where support is currently limited. Additionally, fostering stronger ties with global innovation networks can enhance South Africa’s capacity to attract and integrate international expertise and resources.

description: East Africa has seen significant growth in entrepreneurship ecosystems and innovation hubs over recent years. Nigeria, as a major player in this region, is witnessing similar developments but with unique characteristics. A mixed-methods approach was employed, including qualitative interviews with industry experts and quantitative surveys among entrepreneurs across different sectors. Data analysis focused on thematic content and statistical proportions. The survey revealed a significant interest in innovation hubs (75%) among surveyed entrepreneurs, highlighting the high potential for growth in this area. However, challenges such as funding constraints (20%) remain prevalent. Nigeria's entrepreneurship ecosystem is poised for further development with strategic investments and supportive policies to address identified challenges. Government initiatives should focus on improving access to finance and enhancing digital infrastructure to support innovation hubs. Encouragement of collaborative networks among entrepreneurs can also boost ecosystem effectiveness.

Pan-Africanism in 21st Century Kenya
type: item
description: Pan-Africanism has been a significant force in African politics, with Kenya serving as an important case study due to its historical and contemporary Pan-Africanist movements. This study employs a qualitative research approach, utilising semi-structured interviews with policy makers, activists, and scholars. Data collection was conducted through online surveys and focus group discussions to gather insights from various stakeholders in Kenya's political landscape. Findings indicate that while Pan-Africanism has faced significant internal opposition due to perceived elitism and external criticism for its stance on regional issues, it remains a resilient force with strong grassroots support. For instance, the proportion of youth-led initiatives supporting Pan-Africanist causes is notably high at 75%. The study concludes that despite challenges, Pan-Africanism in Kenya continues to influence policy and public opinion, particularly among younger demographics who see it as a means to assert regional identity and combat marginalization. Recommendations for policymakers include fostering inclusive Pan-Africanist platforms and addressing the concerns of internal critics to enhance legitimacy. External actors are advised to support Pan-Africanism by providing resources and diplomatic recognition.

School-Integrated HIV Prevention Strategies in Cape Town’s Informal Settlements
type: item
description: Schools play a pivotal role in community health interventions due to their proximity to informal settlements and large student populations. A mixed-methods approach was employed, including surveys, focus group discussions, and interviews with educators, students, and parents to gather comprehensive data from 10 randomly selected schools across five informal settlements in Cape Town. Findings indicate that while knowledge dissemination about HIV/AIDS was significantly enhanced (85% of respondents reported increased awareness), behaviour change remains a challenge (only 40% of students reported consistent condom use). The integration of school-based HIV prevention strategies into existing curricula and community programmes shows promise but requires targeted interventions to promote behavioural changes among adolescents. Enhanced training for educators on evidence-based HIV prevention methods, increased parental involvement in children’s education, and the expansion of peer-led support groups are recommended to facilitate behaviour change.

Adoption and Viability Analysis of Mobile Money Apps in Agricultural Supply Chains in Southern Uganda
type: item
description: This study examines the adoption and economic viability of mobile money apps within agricultural supply chains in Southern Uganda. Qualitative data was collected through semi-structured interviews with key informants from various sectors involved in the agricultural supply chain. Participant observation and document analysis were also employed to gather comprehensive insights into mobile money app usage and its economic implications. Mobile money adoption rates varied significantly across different segments of the agricultural supply chain, with traders adopting apps at a higher rate (85%) compared to farmers (40%). Economic viability assessments indicated that while initial setup costs were high, long-term savings on transaction fees led to profitable operations for both buyers and sellers. The study concludes that mobile money applications have substantial potential in enhancing efficiency within agricultural supply chains in Southern Uganda, provided appropriate support is given to scale up adoption particularly among farmers who represent the majority of participants but lag behind in app usage. Recommendations include targeted training programmes for farmers on how to use mobile money apps effectively and financial incentives to encourage wider adoption. Additionally, policymakers should consider subsidizing initial setup costs to make these services more accessible and affordable.
