Training Sessions and Methodology Design in Measuring Farmer Adoption of Sustainable Agriculture Practices Among Smallholder Farmers in Mozambique,
type: item
description: The study examines the adoption of sustainable agriculture practices among smallholder farmers in Mozambique through training sessions and methodology design. A comparative study was conducted with two groups of smallholder farmers: one group that participated in training sessions designed to enhance their knowledge and skills regarding sustainable agriculture practices, and a control group that did not receive such training. The methodology included pre- and post-training surveys, focus group discussions, and field observations. The analysis revealed significant differences in the adoption rates of sustainable agriculture practices between the trained and untrained groups (p < 0.05). Trained farmers showed a higher proportion (36%) of adopting recommended sustainable farming techniques compared to those who did not receive training (12%). The study confirms that structured training sessions are effective in improving smallholder farmers' adoption rates of sustainable agriculture practices. Future research should consider the scalability and cost-effectiveness of these training programmes, along with potential long-term impacts on environmental sustainability.

Community Health Workers' Impact on HIV/AIDS Prevention Among Female Sex Workers in Kinshasa, Nigeria
type: item
description: Community health workers (CHWs) play a crucial role in HIV/AIDS prevention programmes targeting female sex workers (FSW). In Kinshasa and Nigeria, CHWs have been instrumental in delivering evidence-based interventions aimed at reducing risk behaviors among FSW. A longitudinal mixed-methods approach was employed, combining quantitative data from surveys with qualitative insights gathered through interviews and focus groups. Data collection occurred at baseline () and follow-ups every six months until the end of in Nigeria and for Kinshasa. Significant reductions were observed in high-risk sexual behaviors among FSW, with a decrease of 45% in unprotected sex practices over two years. There was also an increase in knowledge about HIV/AIDS prevention strategies from baseline to follow-ups (p < 0.01). The community health worker programme significantly improved the risk reduction strategies and knowledge levels among FSW, indicating a promising strategy for HIV/AIDS prevention. Continuation of CHW programmes with enhanced training and support is recommended to sustain the observed improvements in behaviour and knowledge. Further research should explore scalability and cost-effectiveness across different settings. HIV/AIDS, Female Sex Workers, Community Health Workers, Prevention Programmes, Kinshasa, Nigeria

Health Insurance Expansion and Maternal Healthcare in Kampala, Uganda
type: item
description: This study explores the impact of health insurance expansion on maternal healthcare in Kampala, Uganda. Qualitative data were collected through semi-structured interviews with a purposive sample of mothers who used public sector facilities for antenatal care (ANC) and childbirth services between May and July . Data analysis involved thematic content analysis. Findings indicate that while health insurance coverage increased, there was no significant change in the proportion of women utilising ANC services or receiving skilled birth attendants, despite lower out-of-pocket costs. The findings suggest that although health insurance expanded access to healthcare, it did not necessarily translate into better utilization and service quality for maternal care. Recommendation is to further investigate the underlying reasons for low utilization of ANC services in order to identify potential areas for improvement.

Decolonizing African Art History in Nigeria
type: item
description: African art history in Nigeria has largely been dominated by Eurocentric perspectives, which have marginalized indigenous voices and knowledge. The approach will involve collaborative workshops with Nigerian artists, scholars, and community leaders to develop a framework of decolonized art histories. This will include the use of oral histories as primary data sources. Oral histories from diverse communities reveal previously unrecorded artistic practices and cultural significances that were previously overlooked in mainstream narratives. The introduction of these methodologies promises to enrich Nigerian art history, fostering a more inclusive and equitable representation of its rich heritage. Support should be given to initiatives that promote decolonization efforts within academic institutions and community arts programmes.

African Perspectives on Afro-Linguistics
type: item
description: Afro-Linguistics is a branch of linguistics that studies African languages, their structures, and evolution. In Zambia, there has been limited research on specific aspects of Afro-Linguistics. The study employs qualitative analysis and comparative methods to examine the grammatical features, phonological patterns, and syntactic structures of the selected Zambian language. Field data collection was guided by linguistic anthropology techniques. A specific theme identified within the analysed data is the complex use of vowel harmony in the language's verbal morphology, which differs significantly from other Afro-Asiatic languages studied. The research contributes to the understanding of Zambian language structures and their unique characteristics by providing a detailed analysis that can inform future linguistic studies in Africa. Future researchers are encouraged to extend this study to include more languages within Zambia, potentially leading to broader insights into African linguistics.

description: Religious syncretism refers to the blending of different religious beliefs and practices within a single community or individual, often in response to cultural diversity and migration. The study employed qualitative research methods involving interviews with Congolese immigrants living in the UK and France, focusing on their experiences of cultural adaptation. The findings highlight the dynamic nature of religious expression in diasporas and suggest ways to understand cultural adaptation through the lens of religious syncretism. Policy makers should consider facilitating dialogue between different faith communities to promote understanding and mutual respect within Congolese diaspora contexts.

Micro-Grids and Solar Cook Stoves
type: item
description: Renewable energy access in rural Ethiopian communities is limited, particularly for off-grid areas where traditional fossil fuel-based cooking methods are prevalent. A mixed-methods approach combining surveys, focus groups, and interviews to assess community engagement and usage patterns. Solar cook stove adoption was significantly higher among households within micro-grid areas (72%) compared to those without (45%). Renewable energy micro-grids effectively promote solar cook stoves use in rural Ethiopian communities, improving access and reducing reliance on traditional fuels. Integrate renewable energy solutions into broader rural development strategies and continue community engagement initiatives. renewable energy, micro-grid, solar cook stove, off-grid, rural Ethiopia
