Exploring the empowerment–food security nexus in rural South Sudan
Community engagement in African agricultural universities
Community engagement in Africa outside South Africa has attracted relatively limited scholarly attention, and there continues to be limited documentation of how African universities engage with external communities and institutionalise community engagement practices. In this study, we scrutinise how agriculture university schools enact community engagement. We conducted a longitudinal multi-case study from 2021 to 2023 of eight agricultural schoo…
Climate change perception and adaptation among farmers in the mountains of Western Karakoram, Pakistan
This paper examines climate change perception and adaptation among high-mountain farmers in Western Karakorum Pakistan. Employing a mixed-method approach, this study found that farmers in the study area have observed significant variations in the climatic conditions. Results further indicate that to cope with the climatic variations, farmers are employing diverse adaptation strategies, i.e. crop diversification, production of horticultural produc…
Are population movement restrictions containing the Covid-19 cases in Sub-Saharan Africa
Governments in Sub-Saharan Africa introduced population movement restrictions as a measure to contain the COVID-19 spread. Their evaluation is paramount to help policymakers take evidence-based policy decisions. Rigorous econometric studies in the region are sparse. Our study contributes to covering this gap. Using a Panel Poisson fixed-effects model, we detect the association between the COVID-19 new cases per population and restriction movement…
Beyond the Annual and Aggregate Measurement of Household Inequality
This paper investigates household seasonal food expenditure inequality in the rural Lake Naivasha Basin, Kenya using the extended decomposition of Gini and primary data referred from February 2018 to January 2019. The new elements introduced by the paper are the disaggregation of the food expenditure by source of access (purchase, auto-consumption, and gifts); inclusion of traditional species in the food categories; the features of the area inves…
Evidence of Between- and Within-Household Child Nutrition Inequality in Malawi
Impact of Farmers' Training Centres on Household Income
In developing countries, agricultural advisory services (AASs) are regarded as a key component of economic development strategies in terms of improving productivity and livelihoods. Nevertheless, there is a dearth of empirical evidence on the impact of AASs in general and the Farmers' Training Centres (FTCs) in particular. In this article, we employ the propensity score matching procedure to estimate the impact of an FTC-based training on househo…
Sources of food price volatility and child malnutrition in Niger and Malawi
Seasonality and Trends in Child Malnutrition
This article investigates the factors most affecting year-to-year trends and month-to-month fluctuations in underweight among children under five years of age in the Dowa District of Malawi from 2004 to 2012, including both the ability of households to obtain and utilise food and to child-related policy interventions. Time series regressions reveal strong hungry-season effects associated with both food availability and disease transmission, in ad…
