Exploring post-graduation outcomes, employment trends, and career trajectories of PhD graduates in Sub-Saharan Africa
Doctoral education in Sub-Saharan Africa has expanded rapidly, yet evidence on post-PhD career trajectories remains limited. This study examines employment outcomes, career pathways, and structural constraints shaping doctoral graduates’ experiences in Kenya, Ethiopia, and Rwanda. Using a mixed-methods design, the study integrates survey data (n = 154), key informant interviews (n = 27), and multi-stakeholder policy dialogues under the Regional S…
Determinants of adoption of sustainable agricultural practices among maize producers in Northern Uganda
Sustainable agricultural practices (SAPs) increase crop productivity.This is achieved by increasing soil fertility, preserving moisture in the soil, and reducing pest and disease build-up, among other significant roles.Strikingly, maize farmers are still deeply rooted into the traditional methods of production which do not consider the adoption of SAPs.As such, they report low maize yields.Similarly, despite government efforts to increase the ado…
Diversification of small-scale fishing activities in exploring entrepreneurial opportunities along the tourism value chain in South Africa
Small-scale fishers (SSFs) are finding it difficult to cope with the limited returns from fishing activities. Diversification of fishing activities becomes necessary in ensuring the sustainable use of fishing resources by exploring entrepreneurial opportunities available in other sectors including the tourism value chain. Little is known on the extent to which small-scale fishers in South Africa have explored opportunities available along the tou…
A review of the landscape of agroecology policies towards transforming food systems in Sub-Saharan Africa
Sustainability serves as a normative principle in the context of food policy but also represents a hotly debated arena. Ongoing crises in contemporary agriculture suggest that the current model of food production may not be sustainable in the long run to guarantee global food security. Advocacy for more comprehensive and sustainable models has increased because of the pressing need to improve agriculture, particularly in Africa. Thus, the status …
Determinants of smallholder farmers’ extent of participation in climate-smart agricultural projects in Kakamega County, Kenya
Climate-Smart Agriculture (CSA) presents the opportunity to meet the world increasing food demands in the face of climate variability. In Kenya, CSA has been promoted as a means of adapting to climate change among Kenyan farmers under Kenya Climate Smart Agriculture Project (KCSAP) and farmers’ participation is key. This study, therefore, sought to identify the extent of participation in climate-smart agricultural projects (CSAPs) in terms of lon…
Contributing factors to the looming food crisis in sub-Saharan Africa
The food price crisis of 2007–2008 and the recent resurgence of food prices have focused increasing attention on the causes and consequences of food price volatility in international food markets and the developing world, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). Agricultural Price Index was 34% higher as of 30 June 2022, compared to January 2021. This paper reviews increasing food crisis in Africa in the wake of climate change, COVID-19, and the…
Youth involvement in agripreneurship as Nexus for poverty reduction and rural employment in Kenya
Vicious cycles of poverty and unemployment among rural youth in Kenya have necessitated the search for an alternative sustainable solution. Whereas the youth population continues to surge, the majority of them are reluctant to venture into agricultural enterprises. This study reviewed the prospect of youth’s venture in agripreneurship for poverty reduction and improvement of rural employment in Kenya. The review was based on a comprehensive liter…
