Country	:	Zimbabwe
Authors	:	Emmanuel Chinamasa, Freeman Mwaemudza Mavhiza
	:	10.9790/0837-19422132

Abstract: The purpose of this study was to find ways of sustaining water points in Buhera district schools. It was motivated by the observation that (40%) of boreholes in the district broke down in 2010 and were not repaired. The situation forced school children to resort to unprotected water sources exposing themselves to water bone diseases. The study contributes to millennium development goal 2, (achieve universal primary education) and goal 7, (ensure environmental sustainability). The study was guided by a descriptive survey. Data was collected from a purposive sample of 198 (teachers, pupils, DDF and NGO officials in Buhera district) who .responded to a self reporting questionnaire. Observations of school children at water points, focus group discussions and analysis of DDF reports complemented the findings. The study revealed that, the main water source for schools and the community is the borehole.
Key words: participatory study, models, water management, schools, boreholes.

	:	10.9790/0837-19423942

Abstract: An attempt is made to find out theparental consanguinity on inbreeding of Khond, a particularly vulnerable tribal group belonging to Visakhapatnam district of Andhra Pradesh. In a cross-sectional study of the tribe, socio-economic characteristics along with demographic data were collected using structured schedule. Further the sample was selected through random sampling method and it was reported that out of 247 numbers of married women, 167 womenpreferred consanguineous marriages and remaining 80 women preferred non-consanguineous marriages. The mean sex-linkedsvalue (0.0728) is slightly higher than the mean autosomala value (0.0439). All fertility components are higher for consanguineous couples compared to the non- couples. The proportion of prenatal deaths was reported to be more among consanguineous unions while postnatal deaths were reported to be more among non-consanguineous unions.

Title	:	Human Rights and Realities of Tribals' Lives in India: A Perfect Storm
Country	:	India
Authors	:	Krishna Halavath
	:	10.9790/0837-19424346

Abstract: Tribal community in India has been most vulnerable community in the in equal, domination and exploitation ridden society. They are on the breadline of their socio-economic and political rights. Even after centuries, the unchanged condition of Tribal communities is leading in India. The violation of fundamental human rights and the state brutality has been perpetrated on them, particularly on tribal women. Tribal communities have faced isolation and social discrimination like that of Dalits from the mainstream society. Understanding of current Tribal societies need a basic respect to the historical processes, which have determined the course of consecutive changes in ideological, political, economic and socio cultural life of the Tribal communities. The Indian democratic state accords several statutes in the constitution where the rights of Tribal communities are protected and social justice is determined for. However, the democratic experiment has not been successful in this respect. Therefore, there is a surge of Tribal movements in the country for their rights. All tribal people of India have a thing in common- they all share a history of injustice. The present paper explores within the larger framework of human rights in general and how tribal rights violated in particular, in India.
Key words: Constitution of India, Discrimination, Human Rights, Indian Society, Social Justice and Tribal Communities.

Title	:	Domestic Tourism Development and Anchor Attractions: "Tourisming‟ the Small Towns in Zimbabwe - The Tourists‟ Perspectives
Country	:	Zimbabwe
Authors	:	Farayi Phillip Kanokanga, Patrick Walter Mamimine, Charity Mapingure, Kumbirai Mirimi
	:	10.9790/0837-19425456

Abstract: The problem is that more often than not tourism is perceived as an event rather that a process. Another error of perception is that the destination is seen as a pin - point area rather that an environment that can hardly be precisely defined. The Zimbabwe Tourism Authority (ZTA's) tourism and hospitality statistics derive from the country's renowned destinations. Small towns are omitted. Tourism and hospitality statistics of some fairly big towns are added to those of anchor attractions. Unless the problem is resolved, the tourism potential of small towns will not be fully tapped. The paper investigated opportunities for domestic tourism development in the small towns of Chinhoyi and Karoi. It is crucial to view tourism as a much broader phenomenon occurring in a broader context. It does not seem prudent to allocate resources to much – publicised destinations ignoring what one could term the tourism corridor. A survey of 55 randomly selected domestic tourists in the two towns revealed that holiday experiences of the majority (51%) of respondents would improve through the provision of historical tourism. Forty three per cent required events and a variety of entertainment. Thirty per cent needed nature – based tourism. Family – oriented facilities were also proposed. The study recommended that route tourism be a subject of scholarly inquiry in Zimbabwean tourism.
Keywords: anchor attractions, domestic tourism development, small towns, tourism corridor, 'tourisming'.

Title	:	The State, Development and Governance in Africa: The Nigerian Experience
Country	:	Nigeria
Authors	:	Monday Aliu
	:	10.9790/0837-19425766

Abstract: The paper discusses the role of the state in the crises of development and governance plaguing Africa. The data for the paper are obtained from secondary sources while the methods of analysis are historical, descriptive and analytical. The contention of the paper is that the state is a major obstacle to development and governance in Africa. The historical, socio-economic and political conditions underpinning the processes of state formation in Africa are core to the African predicament. Specifically, the prominence and profound impact of colonialism on the evolution, character, processes, institutions, economy, politics and leadership of the post colonial African state provide the theoretical groundwork for interrogating the development and governance failures in Africa. Drawing heavily from the Nigerian experience, the paper argues that the failure of the state and its managers to repudiate and alter fundamentally the inherited and reinforced socio-economic and political institutions, processes and policies of colonialism antithetical to development and governance is germane to explaining the monumental cases of corruption, insecurity, conflict, poverty, inequality, diseases and political instability ravaging Africa. The paper posits that politics is central to the crisis of the state in Africa, and as such suggests the turnaround in the political leadership fortunes of Africa among other political measures as critical to overturning the status quo and improving the wellbeing of Africans.

Title	:	Women Entrepreneurship in Malaysia: an Investigation of the Factors that Motivated Micro and Small Business Owners in Kuching-Sarawak to Start-up their own Businesses
Country	:	Malaysia
Authors	:	Nwanesi Peter Karubi, Okpara Izuagba Uchenna, Anisiobi Anulika Loveline
	:	10.9790/0837-19426773

Abstract: This study examined the factors that motivated Malaysian women entrepreneurs, specifically those who operate in Kuching, Sarawak, to start-up their own businesses. However, the core focus of this study is on women entrepreneurs that are categorized as owners of "micro and small enterprises (MSEs)‟. Qualitative method was used to conduct this study. Thus, interview and observation were used to collect data from 31 respondents, and non-probability sampling method, specifically purposive sampling method, was used to select the respondents, due to inadequate information about them. The findings of this study showed that the respondents were motivated to start-up their own businesses by various extrinsic and intrinsic motivation factors. The major extrinsic motivation factors that encouraged them to start-up their own businesses are their "low educational background‟ and "the opportunity to manage their time by themselves‟. On the other hand, the major intrinsic motivation factor that encouraged the respondents to start-up their own businesses is "the opportunity for them to become their own boss‟.

Title	:	Libyan English as a Foreign Language School Teachers' (LEFLSTs) Knowledge of Teaching: Action Research as Continuing Professional Development Model for Libyan School Teachers
Country	:	Libya
Authors	:	Dr. Ageila Ali Elabbar
	:	10.9790/0837-19427481

Abstract: Teachers are the source of knowledge, ideas, information and practices to their learners. Libyan English as a foreign language school teachers (LEFLSTs) are doing that in a language that is not their language to students to whom it is not their language, at the same time as they are doing it in a hard cultural context. Teachers are constrained, as teaching is an activity in which the extent to which the teacher can decide what they are going to do is limited because of the way that things are decided. English as a foreign language (EFL) Libyan school teachers may have extra issues and constraints in that they cannot use a lot of the techniques or aids that teachers of other subjects use. This is because they have to work in a language that is not native to the learners. Then, if the teacher is not a native speaker either, it will be another constraint. LEFLSTs may have additional constraints than, for example, a Spanish teacher teaching English to Spanish students.
Keywords: Teaching and learning within Libyan context, Teachers' Knowledge and Cultural impacts and suggesting Action Research as CPD.

Title	:	Effect of Post Retirement Occupation on Survival of Academic Staff Retirees: A Case Study of University Of Ibadan, Nigeria

Abstract: A few years ago, teachers were being encouraged to take early retirement the data was made public concerning the reduction in life expectancy for those who worked longer. The Government now increased the retirement age of academic professorial cadre in Nigeria to 70 years (Olalekan, 2012). I do not believe that it has escaped consideration that extending working life will reduce life expectancy, thus not only raising the age when teachers begin to take their pension, but also reducing the age at which they are no longer there to receive it. In this study, a preliminary survey was made to determine the effect of post retirement occupation on survival of academic staff retirees of University of Ibadan in Nigeria, a follow up study of a cohort of academic retirees in retrospective in a well based record assessment.

Both countries have spent millions of rupees on defence against each other. The brave of both the countries to uplift their people's pitiable low standard of living,

Title	:	Managing or Mismanaging Workforce Diversity: Major Determinants.
Country	:	Nigeria
Authors	:	Abdulraheem, Issa Ph.D
	:	10.9790/0837-1942111117

Abstract: The management of workforce diversity is a very sensitive issue and is becoming more visible in management practices. Moreover, workforce diversity is being encouraged by an increased level of national and international laws offering protection against discriminations based on sex, race, disability etc. The perception of management of workforce diversity will determine its successful application and monitoring in order to make it successful. Moreover, the approach to managing diversity that should be adopted may also depend on the characteristics of the society in which it operates.
