Methodological Evaluation of Field Research Stations Systems in Ethiopia Using Difference-in-Differences Approach
Field research stations are crucial for monitoring environmental changes in Ethiopia. However, their cost-effectiveness is not well understood. A difference-in-differences model will be applied, incorporating data from existing research stations and control areas. Uncertainty around estimates will be assessed through robust standard errors. The DiD analysis revealed that the cost per unit of environmental monitoring increased by 20% in regions with active research stations compared to those without. While the presence of research stations is beneficial, their cost-effectiveness needs improvement. This study provides a methodological basis for further cost-benefit analyses. Field researchers and policymakers should consider alternative funding models or scale-up existing stations efficiently to maintain effectiveness while reducing costs.

Microfinance's Impact on Financial Literacy and Business Success Among Women Entrepreneurs Six Months Post-Programme in West African Towns
Microfinance programmes are increasingly recognised for their potential to enhance financial literacy among women entrepreneurs in developing countries. However, empirical evidence on the long-term impact of such interventions is limited, particularly within West African contexts. Participants were selected from eight randomly chosen West African towns with varying socioeconomic conditions. A pre- and post-programme survey was conducted using a Likert scale questionnaire. Data on financial literacy levels and business outcomes (e.g., sales revenue) were collected. Descriptive statistics, inferential statistical analyses (t-tests for means comparison), and regression models were employed to analyse the data. A significant increase in mean scores of financial knowledge from pre- to post-programme was observed among participants (mean difference = 4.2, p < 0.05). However, there was no notable change in sales revenue as a proxy for business success. These findings suggest that microfinance programmes can effectively improve the financial literacy of female entrepreneurs, but additional support may be needed to translate this knowledge into tangible business performance improvements. Future research should focus on identifying mechanisms or interventions that could enhance the practical application of financial knowledge in real-world business settings.

Natural Language Processing (NLP) has seen significant progress in English and other widely spoken languages, but its application to African languages remains underexplored. In Ghana, where multiple indigenous languages are spoken, NLP techniques can offer valuable applications such as language translation, text summarization, and sentiment analysis. The research will employ state-of-the-art machine learning algorithms specifically tailored for African language datasets. A comparative analysis will be conducted using various NLP techniques to assess which methods yield the best results across different languages and domains. Initial experiments indicate that transfer learning models, such as BERT adapted to local language corpora, show promising performance in text classification tasks with an accuracy of around 85% on average. However, there is significant variability depending on the specific language and domain. Despite current challenges, including limited datasets and varying linguistic structures, NLP for African languages holds substantial potential for innovation and socio-economic impact in Ghana. Future work should focus on expanding model training efforts to cover more languages and domains. Investment is needed in both data collection and research methodologies to support the development of robust NLP systems for African languages. Collaboration between academia, industry, and government can accelerate this process.
