Pre-trial detention in Uganda's criminal justice system is a significant issue, with lengthy periods often leading to social and economic burdens for individuals and their families. Qualitative research methods were employed, involving semi-structured interviews conducted in Uganda's capital city. Data collection focused on perspectives from various sectors within the criminal justice system. Interviews revealed a notable reduction in pre-trial detention times by approximately 20% over the last two years, attributed to increased judicial efficiency and community support programmes. Despite initial improvements, challenges remain such as resource constraints and systemic inefficiencies that need further attention to sustain reform progress. Strengthening judicial training, enhancing financial resources for legal aid services, and fostering public-private partnerships are recommended strategies.

and Policy Nexus in Tanzanian Jurisprudence
Theoretical frameworks in law often seek to explain complex legal systems without empirical data. Conceptual analysis will be employed, drawing from existing literature on public procurement law and policy studies. The theoretical framework proposes a model to predict how future policy changes will impact Tanzanian procurement practices. Researchers should integrate policy analysis into their legal studies for more comprehensive understanding of public sector operations.
Natural Resource Governance Law and Community Rights in Democratic Republic of Congo
Natural resource governance in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) has been a contentious issue due to its rich mineral wealth and complex socio-economic landscape.

The theoretical framework identifies critical areas for improvement in aligning legal provisions with practical governance needs and enhancing local participation. Recommendations include strengthening enforcement mechanisms, improving community engagement strategies, and harmonizing international standards with national legislation.

Transitional Justice Mechanisms and Peacebuilding in Sierra Leone
Transitional justice mechanisms have been implemented in Sierra Leone to address past human rights abuses during and after the civil war. This study employs a mixed-methods approach combining qualitative interviews with legal documents, aiming to provide an in-depth understanding of how these mechanisms operate within Sierra Leone’s socio-political context. The findings indicate that while transitional justice mechanisms have contributed significantly to public trust and societal healing, challenges persist regarding the equitable distribution of reparations among affected communities. Despite progress, there is a need for more targeted policies addressing disparities in access to justice and benefits from reconciliation efforts. The implementation of community-based mediation initiatives alongside formal legal processes could enhance the effectiveness of transitional justice mechanisms in promoting inclusive peacebuilding.
Youth engagement in law-making processes is a critical area of interest in Africa, particularly within Morocco's legal framework. This study employs a multidisciplinary approach combining jurisprudence, socio-legal studies, and policy analysis to explore youth's role within Morocco's legal system. This theoretical framework underscores the importance of fostering youth participation in law-making to ensure inclusive and equitable legal reforms that address contemporary socio-economic challenges. Policy makers are encouraged to implement structured mechanisms for youth engagement, such as youth councils or advisory bodies, to facilitate their active participation in legislative processes. Additionally, educational institutions should be involved in creating awareness about the importance of youth involvement in law-making.

Youth Involvement in Legal Processes within Burkina Faso
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. Findings indicate that while young people in Burkina Faso have a keen interest in legal processes, they face significant challenges such as limited access to information and resources, cultural barriers, and inadequate legal education. However, there are also notable themes of resilience and innovative solutions emerging from their engagement with the legal system. The study highlights the potential for youth-led initiatives to improve legal outcomes in Burkina Faso, suggesting that targeted interventions could significantly enhance the effectiveness and inclusivity of the justice system. Recommendations include developing educational programmes tailored to young people's needs, fostering community-based solutions, and integrating youth perspectives into policy-making processes. These steps are crucial for realising a more equitable legal environment in Burkina Faso.
Informal Sector Dynamics in Urban Ethiopia
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.

Labour Law Dynamics in the Informal Economy of Niger
The informal economy in Niger encompasses an estimated 40% of its workforce, highlighting the need for a robust theoretical framework to address labour law dynamics and workers' rights. A systematic review of existing literature on labour law, combined with qualitative analysis of key informants from the informal sector in Niger. This theoretical framework underscores the importance of integrating existing legal frameworks with innovative community-driven initiatives for equitable worker protection. Policy makers should prioritise legislative reform and strengthen partnerships between government agencies and informal sector organizations to improve labour law compliance.
