Pan-Africanism in Namibia
type: item
description: Pan-Africanism has gained renewed interest in contemporary African Studies, driven by a growing recognition of shared cultural heritage and political aspirations across the continent. The analysis employs qualitative research methods, including thematic content analysis of existing literature and interviews with key stakeholders from various sectors in Namibia. Pan-Africanist discourse in Namibia highlights the need for more inclusive governance structures to address socio-economic disparities among ethnic groups. While Pan-Africanism can serve as a unifying force, it requires tailored policies that acknowledge regional and cultural diversity to be effective. Namibian policymakers should prioritise inclusive dialogue forums and targeted economic initiatives to bridge gaps between different communities.

Afrofuturism as a Framework for Investigating Ghanaian Aesthetic Visions of the Future
type: item
description: Afrofuturism is a cultural movement that explores future-oriented visions of Africa, often blending traditional African aesthetics with modern and futuristic elements. A survey was conducted among participants from various socio-economic backgrounds, utilising open-ended questions to gather qualitative data on their perceptions and interpretations of Afrofuturist aesthetics. The research identified three primary themes within participant responses: technological integration (35% of respondents), cultural renaissance (28%), and environmental sustainability (17%). While the survey revealed a diverse range of aesthetic visions, it also highlighted significant gaps in understanding between different socio-economic groups regarding future-oriented aesthetics. Further research should explore these themes more deeply to inform policy and educational initiatives that foster inclusive Afrofuturist narratives across Ghanaian society.

Measuring Psychological Wellbeing in Refugee Youth Through Digital Literacy Programmes
type: item
description: This study explores how digital literacy programmes impact psychological wellbeing among refugee youth in East African cities within Morocco. Qualitative data collection methods including semi-structured interviews, focus groups, and document reviews were employed. Participants included refugee youth aged 13-25 from various East African countries residing in Morocco. A thematic analysis revealed that digital literacy programmes significantly improved participants' sense of empowerment and social connection, which are critical for their mental health. Digital literacy programmes offer a promising avenue to support the psychological wellbeing of refugee youth by enhancing their access to resources and community engagement. Future research should consider longitudinal studies to assess long-term impacts. Cultural sensitivity training is recommended for programme implementers to ensure effectiveness across diverse populations.

Mobile Health Monitoring Apps in Nairobi Slums
type: item
description: Mobile health monitoring apps have gained popularity for managing chronic conditions such as diabetes. However, their effectiveness in low-resource settings like Nairobi slums has not been extensively studied. A qualitative study was conducted through semi-structured interviews with 30 diabetic patients who used mobile health monitoring apps. Focus groups were also held with healthcare providers and community leaders to gather insights on app implementation and patient adherence. Findings indicate that while the majority of participants (75%) reported using their apps regularly, there was significant variability in adherence across different demographic factors such as age and socioeconomic status. Some patients found the cost prohibitive, leading to irregular use. The study highlights the importance of addressing barriers to app usage, particularly related to affordability and technological literacy, for improving diabetes management outcomes among slum populations. Healthcare providers should consider offering subsidized versions or alternative monitoring methods for patients who cannot afford current apps. Community outreach programmes can also be developed to enhance digital literacy in diabetic patient communities.

Religious Pluralism and Inter-Faith Dynamics in Senegalese West Africa,
type: item
description: Religious pluralism in Senegalese West Africa is a complex interplay of various faiths and cultural practices. A comparative study approach was employed, integrating qualitative and quantitative data from religious leaders, community surveys, and historical records. The analysis reveals that despite significant religious diversity, there is a notable presence of inter-faith dialogue initiatives fostering mutual respect and understanding among different faith communities in Senegal. Inter-faith dynamics are characterized by both challenges and opportunities for peace and social cohesion, with specific programmes contributing to the resolution of conflicts. Further research should focus on identifying best practices for inter-faith engagement and policy implications for promoting religious harmony in Senegal and beyond.

Land Reform in East Africa
type: item
description: Land Reform in East Africa has been a subject of significant interest due to its multifaceted impacts on socio-economic development. Morocco's experience with land reform, particularly from onwards, offers valuable insights into these dynamics. The study employed a mixed-methods approach involving both qualitative interviews with stakeholders and quantitative surveys of affected households. Data was collected through structured questionnaires distributed across selected regions in Morocco. A notable finding is that land redistribution has led to an increase in agricultural productivity by up to 30%, particularly among smallholder farmers who benefited from the reform process. However, challenges such as lack of access to credit and market integration persist for many beneficiaries. The findings suggest that while land reform can enhance socio-economic stability, it requires robust support systems to ensure sustainable outcomes. Future reforms should focus on strengthening local markets and agricultural infrastructure. Policy makers in Morocco are advised to prioritise the development of financial mechanisms to assist small farmers with access to credit. Additionally, targeted interventions aimed at enhancing market connectivity could further benefit rural communities.

Mobilizing Community Responses to Hepatitis E Virus Infections in Rural Tanzanian Women
type: item
description: Hepatitis E Virus (HEV) infections are a significant public health concern in rural Tanzania, affecting predominantly women who engage in agricultural activities. An ethnographic study was conducted over a period of one year, involving semi-structured interviews with key informants from local communities, focus group discussions, and participant observation in selected villages. Data were analysed using thematic analysis to identify common themes and patterns related to HEV infections among rural women. Community members reported that women who engaged in open-field farming activities were particularly vulnerable to HEV infections due to contaminated water sources and poor hygiene practices. The most common response was the establishment of community-led health camps, which provided educational sessions on HEV prevention and vaccination campaigns for women. The study revealed a lack of awareness about HEV among rural Tanzanian women, leading to ineffective preventive measures. Community mobilization efforts were effective in addressing these gaps through targeted interventions. Health education programmes should be integrated into agricultural extension services to increase awareness and understanding of HEV infections. Community health camps can serve as a model for future health promotion initiatives targeting rural populations.

NGOs' Early Childhood Education Interventions in Nairobi's Slums
type: item
description: Early childhood education in Nairobi's slums is a critical area of focus due to its significant impact on long-term socio-economic development. The study employed mixed-methods, including quantitative surveys and qualitative interviews with parents, teachers, and children to assess programme impact. A key finding was that structured play-based learning programmes significantly improved cognitive skills among participating children by an average of 20% compared to non-participants in the same age bracket. The findings suggest that well-designed educational interventions can lead to substantial improvements in early childhood development outcomes, particularly in socio-economically disadvantaged areas. NGOs should continue and expand their programmes, especially focusing on community engagement and sustainability strategies.

Pan-Africanism in the 21st Century
type: item
description: Pan-Africanism has been a significant force in African Studies for decades, with Kenya serving as an important case study due to its historical and contemporary engagements with Pan-African ideologies. This study employs a thematic analysis approach to examine primary data collected through semi-structured interviews with 30 participants representing various sectors of Kenyan society. The analysis is guided by existing literature on Pan-Africanism and its manifestations in Africa. Findings indicate that while there was significant engagement with Pan-African ideals, the implementation often faced constraints such as cultural diversity and economic disparities, leading to a fragmented approach rather than a cohesive national strategy. Despite these challenges, the study reveals opportunities for improved integration of Pan-African principles into Kenyan policies and practices through targeted community-based initiatives and cross-sectoral collaboration. Recommendations include fostering intercultural dialogue at all levels to enhance understanding and acceptance of Pan-African ideals, as well as integrating Pan-African perspectives in education curricula to promote national unity and identity.
