Youth Involvement in Legal Processes within Burkina Faso
type: item
description: Youth involvement in legal processes is increasingly recognised as crucial for ensuring justice and social development in societies around the world. In Africa, Burkina Faso faces unique challenges and opportunities related to youth participation in legal systems. Qualitative research methods were employed, including semi-structured interviews, focus group discussions, and document analysis. Data collection was conducted in urban and rural areas to capture diverse perspectives and experiences.

Informal Sector Dynamics in Urban Ethiopia
type: item
description: Informal sector activities are prevalent in urban areas of Ethiopia, contributing significantly to the economy but often operating outside formal legal frameworks. Qualitative research methods were employed through interviews with key stakeholders, including government officials, civil society organizations, and informal sector entrepreneurs. Data was analysed using thematic content analysis. The legal framework is fragmented across different sectors and lacks comprehensive coverage of the urban informal economy, resulting in inconsistent support for businesses operating informally. While existing laws provide some guidance, they are insufficient to fully address the unique challenges faced by the urban informal sector in Ethiopia. The government should develop a cohesive legal framework that specifically addresses the needs of the urban informal sector and ensure its enforcement across all relevant sectors.

Reducing Pre-Trial Detention in Uganda's Criminal Justice System
type: item
description: Reducing pre-trial detention is a critical component of criminal justice reform in many countries, including Uganda, where the backlog of cases and prolonged incarceration have significant social and economic implications. This study employs a mixed-methods approach, combining qualitative interviews with prosecutors, judges, and defence lawyers to understand current practices and challenges. Quantitative data from court records are also analysed to identify trends in pre-trial detention durations across different types of cases. Analysis reveals that over 70% of defendants remain detained pending trial, often due to procedural delays rather than lack of evidence or guilt. This prolonged detention can lead to financial ruin and social stigma for individuals who may be ultimately found not guilty. The findings underscore the need for systemic changes in pre-trial procedures to streamline case management and reduce unnecessary detention, while ensuring fair legal proceedings are upheld. Recommendations include implementing electronic court registries to expedite case processing, providing training for judicial staff on efficient procedural handling, and exploring alternatives to incarceration such as community-based supervision programmes for low-risk defendants.

Labour Law and Workers' Rights in South Africa's Informal Economy
type: item
description: South Africa's informal economy is a significant component of its labour market, encompassing millions of workers who are not formally employed by companies or registered in government records. A qualitative study involving semi-structured interviews with informal economy workers, labour rights advocates, and legal experts to understand their experiences and perceptions of labour laws. Interviews revealed that while some workers reported adherence to basic rights such as minimum wage and rest periods, others faced severe violations, particularly in areas like social security contributions and termination procedures. The majority indicated a need for clearer guidelines on workplace safety and health. The study highlights the complex interplay between existing labour laws and their practical implementation within the informal economy, underscoring the necessity of targeted interventions to protect workers' rights effectively. Policy makers should prioritise developing sector-specific guidelines that address common challenges faced by informal economy workers. Legal aid initiatives are also recommended to support those who experience violations.

Cyberlaw and Data Protection in Southern Africa
type: item
description: Cyberlaw and data protection have become increasingly important in public procurement processes across Southern Africa, reflecting evolving legal frameworks to safeguard digital transactions. The research employs an interpretative qualitative approach, involving participant observation, semi-structured interviews with key informants from government agencies, private sector entities, and civil society organizations. Data collection was conducted over a period of six months, capturing various aspects of cyberlaw application in public procurement processes. Findings indicate that while there is a growing awareness about the importance of data protection laws among stakeholders, adherence to these frameworks remains inconsistent, particularly regarding accountability mechanisms and enforcement strategies. The study underscores the need for enhanced training programmes for public officials on cyberlaw and data protection principles and improved oversight mechanisms to ensure compliance with legal requirements in public procurement activities. Policy recommendations include strengthening institutional capacity building, enhancing transparency through regular audits of public sector digital transactions, and promoting stakeholder engagement in policy development processes.

Renewable Energy Microgrids and School Attendance Among Adolescent Migrants in Kenya,
type: item
description: This study examines the impact of renewable energy microgrids on school attendance among adolescent migrants in Kenya. A comparative study approach was used, analysing data from two distinct regions where renewable energy microgrids were introduced and evaluated against areas without such systems. The research utilised surveys and interviews to collect primary data from adolescents and educators, providing insights into the impact of energy access on educational outcomes. The analysis revealed a statistically significant increase in school attendance rates among adolescent migrants who lived near renewable energy microgrids compared to those in non-microgrid regions (p < 0.05). This study demonstrates that the introduction of renewable energy microgrids can substantially improve educational participation, particularly among adolescent migrant populations. Policy makers should consider integrating renewable energy projects into school infrastructure to enhance educational opportunities for vulnerable youth groups in Kenya.

Climate Smart Agriculture Practices Among Smallholder Farmers in Ethiopian Highlands
type: item
description: Climate change poses significant challenges to agriculture in the Ethiopian Highlands, where smallholder farmers face increasing drought and erratic rainfall patterns. The study employed a mixed-methods approach combining qualitative interviews with structured questionnaires to gather data from 120 smallholder farmers across three highland districts in Ethiopia. CSA practices, such as rainwater harvesting and drought-tolerant crop varieties, were adopted by at least 45% of the surveyed farmers, indicating a moderate level of interest and implementation effort. While CSA adoption is evident among smallholder farmers in the Ethiopian Highlands, legal frameworks often lack specificity regarding subsidies and insurance programmes essential for its successful implementation. Developing detailed legal guidelines to support CSA practices could enhance their efficacy and sustainability. Additionally, farmer training programmes should be expanded to include technical skills relevant to CSA applications.

Transparency Measures and Citizen Satisfaction
type: item
description: Open government data initiatives aim to enhance transparency in public sector operations, particularly through citizen satisfaction with such measures. A mixed-methods approach combining quantitative surveys and qualitative interviews was employed to gather comprehensive insights into public sector transparency and its effects on citizens' perceptions of governance quality. Citizens expressed significant interest in open data initiatives, with nearly 75% indicating that such information would enhance their understanding of government activities. However, only about 40% reported feeling adequately informed by existing datasets. While open government data shows promise for increasing transparency and public engagement, further improvements are needed to ensure its relevance and effectiveness in fostering greater citizen satisfaction. Public sector bodies should prioritise the development of user-friendly interfaces for accessing open data, alongside ongoing efforts to educate citizens about available resources.
