The study found that 62.57% of the gender gap in food insecurity is explained by differences in resource end…

Despite its significance, the CAP's contributions remain underacknowledged in mainstream narratives. This study addresses this epistemic gap by examining the CAP's emergence and influence through an elite inter…

Slaying the giant of corruption in Africa
Purpose This study examines the rhetoric-reality gap in Africa’s anti-corruption efforts under Agenda 2063, focussing on the First Ten-Year Implementation Plan (2014–2023) and proposing revised strategies for the Second Ten-Year Implementation Plan (2024–2033) to anti-corruption efforts.

Examining women [in]equality under the UN agenda 2030 and Africa Agenda 2063
The UN Agenda 2030 and the Africa Agenda 2063 strive for gender equality. Through a continental and national comparative analysis, we explored the aspiration and reality of women’s inequality under these two agendas. We assessed the degree and magnitude of the efforts (process) and performance (outcome) of AU member states in implementing SDG 5 of the UN Agenda 2030 and Aspiration 6 of Africa Agenda 2063. We employed a mixed-methods approach comb…
The effects of the perception of corruption on public trust in government in Africa
This study examines the effects of corruption on public trust in government in Africa at various levels and explores variations across stable and fragile states.

Using ordered logit analysis and marginal effects, the study reveals that corruption significantly diminishes trust in government. High levels of corruption in the presidency, par…

Trust, Corruption, and Tax Compliance in Fragile States
This study explores the complex relationship between trust, corruption, and tax compliance in fragile states. It examines factors influencing public trust in three government branches: the ruling party (a proxy for the executive), the parliament, and the local government, and examines whether trust in these arms of government impacts tax compliance. We conducted this investigation using Afrobarometer survey data from Guinea, Mali, Sudan, and Zimb…
Covid-19 in Africa
The COVID-19 pandemic has caused turmoil around the world. In Africa, some similarities and differences could be observed in the nature of the outbreak and the policy responses across the continent. This article discusses the policy responses and reflects on their effectiveness as a containment strategy. We speculate on why these strategies seem to work or not, and the lessons therein. The analysis also examines the setting up of crisis teams and…
