Precision Irrigation Solutions Adoption and Cost-Effectiveness in Commercial Farming
Precision irrigation solutions have become increasingly important for commercial farming in arid regions of Nigeria, particularly in the Delta region where water scarcity and variability pose significant challenges to crop productivity. A mixed-methods approach was employed, including a survey of 120 randomly selected farmers, structured interviews with 15 key informants, and a cost-benefit analysis of irrigation systems across five commercial farms. Statistical models were used to analyse data on water usage and yield changes over two years. Precision irrigation solutions led to an average increase in crop yields by 20% compared to non-precision methods, with significant reductions in water consumption of up to 35%. The cost-benefit analysis indicated that the return on investment for precision irrigation systems was between $1.5 and $2 per unit of increased yield. The adoption of precision irrigation solutions has proven to be a viable strategy for enhancing agricultural productivity in the Delta region, with notable improvements in both output and resource efficiency. Governments and development agencies should promote awareness campaigns on the benefits of precision irrigation systems, while also providing subsidies or grants to farmers who invest in these technologies. Furthermore, there is a need for infrastructure support such as reliable water supply and electricity connections. Precision Irrigation, Commercial Farming, Cost-Effectiveness, Yields Improvement
Methodological Evaluation of Secondary Schools Systems in Nigeria Using Panel Data for Risk Reduction Analysis

Theoretical Framework for Climate Change Adaptation in Sahelian Pastoralist Systems
The Sahel region of Africa is characterized by semi-arid climate conditions, which are particularly susceptible to the impacts of climate change such as prolonged droughts and unpredictable rainfall patterns. These environmental changes significantly affect pastoralist systems that rely on livestock for their livelihood. The theoretical framework is constructed based on a review of existing literature from Sahelian pastoralist regions and incorporates insights from climate science, agricultural economics, and social anthropology. It utilizes qualitative data analysis to explore the socio-economic impacts of climate change and potential adaptation pathways. The theoretical framework underscores the necessity of integrating traditional knowledge with modern agricultural innovations to foster climate-resilient pastoralist systems in the Sahel. Recommendations include the development of localized climate change adaptation programmes, support for market linkages for emerging cash crops, and capacity-building initiatives among community leaders and farmers to enhance their resilience against environmental shocks.

Mobile Payment Systems and Credit Access in Burundi
Mobile payment systems have gained popularity in Burundi, particularly among smallholder farmers who face challenges accessing formal credit due to limited financial infrastructure. A mixed-methods approach was employed, including quantitative surveys of 500 smallholder farmers and qualitative interviews with 20 local financial institutions. Data were analysed using structural equation modelling to assess the relationship between mobile payment systems and credit access. Mobile payment system users reported a significant increase in average monthly transactions (p < 0.01), indicating improved liquidity and potential for borrowing from formal sources. However, less than half of respondents accessed any form of formal credit within the last year. The findings suggest that while mobile payment systems enhance farmers' financial flexibility, barriers to accessing formal credit remain substantial. Financial institutions should develop innovative products tailored to mobile users and policymakers could explore subsidies for these services to reach more farmers.
