ABSTRACT The involvement of the laity in the Catholic Church is key in evangelization and eventual growth of the Church. Each of the groups contributes its own quota in both the Church and the world. The laity are called upon to imitate Christ in their daily lives so as to realise His values, attitudes and actions in the word today. The laity are also expected to be Christ’s witnesses to make the kingdom of God present in the midst of His people and in the entire world. This study examined...
ABSTRACT Africa unlike other developing regions of the world has experienced declining flows of foreign direct investment (FDI), despite the apparently high investment returns rates. As FDI flows, it is expected that existing gaps of productive factors are gradually closed and dependence on foreign capital is reduced. These increases in domestic savings, investment, skills and technology bring about economic development. The study examined the declining flow of FDI to the African regions as w...

Efforts to deal with this issue seems not to have taken root in many developing countries, including Kenya. HIV suppression still remains a big challenge in this age bracket with at least one in every six patients failing to achieve the required adherence l...
ABSTRACT Historically there has been life behind our ways of living and human health has always been linked to our surroundings. During early ages of child development, there are practices that parents instill into their children not for formality but for good health even in the child’s future. Though some practices are forcefully instilled into some children like bathing of one’s body some practices like cleaning of the compound, having a good latrine are always the responsibility of par...
Abstract: In the wake of global developments towards the penultimate decade of the twentieth century, the post-colonial itch to be competitive became vital as engagement for African states at the international stage changed. The political economic models employed needed to be reviewed. Air transport, a key driver of many economies had to be realigned with the global changes. African states sought ways in which air transport could be modelled to increase intra-African connectivity through con...

ABSTRACT Nigeria experienced a civil war between 1967 and 1970 which claimed millions of lives on the Federal and Biafran sides. Studies exist on trend, execution and termination of the war but the pre-war and war time conflict management strategies have not been fully explored. This study therefore, examined the strengths and weaknesses of the various management strategies adopted by the conflict parties prior to the outbreak of hostilities as well as those employed during the war with a fe...
ABSTRACT The production of sorghum, one of the most important food crops with multiple uses in the savanna zone of Ghana, has been bedevilled with several problems. The most important ' problems are low yields, lack of improved varieties and striga infestation. These problems led to research efforts at the Savanna Agricultural Research Institute to produce improved high yielding sorghum varieties that are adapted to the socio-economic and agroecological conditions of northern Ghana. This stud...

While some researchers have found a significant relationship between family instability and...
Financial literacy enhances effective use of financial services, promotes technical progress, promotes economic growth and development and aids in poverty reduction. However, Fin Access survey data shows that 17 per cent of Kenyans are financially excluded as in 2016 while enrolment in primary, secondary, and post-secondary between 2000 and 2016 increased by 66, 259, and 431 per cent respectively. This implies that increased school enrolment has not translated to reduced financial exclusion s...
ABSTRACT Root knot nematodes (RKNs) of (Meloidogyne spp.) are among the most devastating soil-borne plant parasitic pests infecting many food crops. They have been shown to result in over 50% loss of crop yield in tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill). Various control measures including agronomic practices and nematicides have been employed in the past to manage the parasite with only modest gains. These are also costly to small-scale farmers especially in developing countries. There is need ...
Abstract: Lepidopteran stem borers are among field insect pests responsible for the low maize production in sub-Saharan Africa. In Kenya, Chilo partellus Swinhoe (Pyralidae), Busseola fusca Fuller (Noctuidae) and Sesamia calamistis Hampson (Noctuidae) constitute the major proportion of stemborer community. Concerted efforts to reduce stemborer populations in maize fields have been emphasized without a good understanding of potential losses associated with damage by respective stemborer speci...
Abstract: South African foreign policy is not made in a bubble; as a democracy since 1994, its outward orientation is theoretically subject to lobbying and pressure from outside groups as well as jockeying among bureaucratic entities. This study aims to unpack the processes through which governments’ foreign policies are made, specifically in South Africa, to determine whether foreign policy making is in reality open to outside inputs, or whether the foreign policy arena as in many countri...
