Title | : | Africa and the New Global Reality: Counting Gains Or Losses? |
Country | : | Nigeria |
Authors | : | Adaora Osondu-Oti |
Abstract: International relations are undergoing profound changes with the entrance of other "powerful‟ actors on the scene. There is a widespread perception that power is shifting to the south. Much scholarly attention has been paid to what Goldman Sachs analyst, Jim O‟Neill in 2001 referred to as the "BRIC - Brazil, Russia, India and China‟ (BRIC), which now include South Africa (BRICS). The rise and influence of these new actors in Africa cannot be overemphasized. Thus, this paper examines what Africa stands to gain or lose with the arrival of new powers such as China. The major questions that this paper seeks to answer are, how is Africa facing the new global reality? Are emerging powers entrance impacting on Africa negatively or positively? What does Africa stand to gain or lose from emerging powers, particularly China, in the continent?

Country | : | Kenya |
Authors | : | Ali Ibrahim hassan || Dr. Mike Iravo || Mike Iravo |
Abstract: - Sustainability is a challenging endeavor in project management and especially in many developing countries. Striking a balance between economic growth and social welfare in road construction projects is fundamental. Kenya, has a massive road network size, traffic volume and highly projected future growth rates that require large investments in road infrastructure development. Often the capital and the available resources compared to the needs is unequaled and exceeds the country‟s budgetary financing capacity. Off budgetary financing has therefore become necessary in order to enable the country meet the challenge of the growing road traffic. Private sector plays a major role in bridging the financial gap, so does the foreign aid. This paper attempts to review sustainability factor in the construction of donor funded road projects. Descriptive survey design was used. Questionnaires were used to gather primary data.

Title | : | Evaluating the impact of Donor Funded Road Construction Projects in Kenya |
Country | : | Kenya |
Authors | : | Ali Ibrahim Hassan || Henry Bwisa || Mike Iravo |
Abstract: - Roads are the leading mode of transport in Kenya, accounting for about 85% of the total domestic transportation. Kenya Vision 2030, recognizes the improvement of infrastructure as one of its foundations to creating a globally competitive and prosperous country with high quality of life by 2030. To support the development objectives, Kenya embarked on a programme of upgrading roads, however this kind of investment projects are costly exceeding Kenya's budget capacity. Engaging donors has become necessary to meet the deficit. Nevertheless, there has been radical criticism of aid being termed as a double edged sword. Where the economic and political environment is right, it is helpful where not, has no positive effect and can set development back negatively both economically and politically. This article investigates the impact of aid in Kenya's road construction projects..........
