Abstract

Climate change as a human security threat has weakened the ability of states to deal with severe weather patterns, droughts, land degradation, flooding, and other climate-related changes. This has significantly affected poor communities in developing countries as they are prone to low precipitation, high temperatures, and high poverty levels. In light of this, communities in Lesotho have for generations been adapting to climate induced hazards and risks by developing situation specific livelihood practices and building resilience of their households and communities. Nonetheless, in recent years, the increasing intensity and frequencies of climate extremes have revealed the limitations of indigenous and local knowledge in dealing with the scourge of climate change. As such, the need for the integration of indigenous and scientific knowledge systems in coping with and adapting to climate change. The study being qualitative in nature relied on the extensive review of purposively selected written sources which include journal articles, books, book chapters, Government publications, newspapers, magazines as well as a Key Informant interview to collect data which was analysed using thematic and content analysis techniques. The study established that, integrating traditional and scientific knowledge systems in dealing with climate change vulnerability and impacts in Lesotho is critical for policy makers to develop multi-level, multi-dimensional, multi-hazard and multi-disciplinary adaptation and resilience-building strategies and solutions that are sustainable, cost-effective and participatory. The integration of the scientific and indigenous knowledge and practices will help in proactively identifying current and future risks and hazards thus enabling the better implementation of climate-change policies in Lesotho.

Abstract

The study evaluates the role played by the Civil Service Commission in promoting sound employment relations in Zimbabwe’s public sector specifically at the Ministry of Primary and Secondary Education in the Mutare District from 2012 to 2016. The article delves on the nature of the Civil Service Commission, employment relations, the role of the CSC in promoting sound employment relations among a multiplicity of issues. The research explored the functions of the CSC and the challenges it is facing in the promotion of sound employment relations in Zimbabwe’s educational sector. The study relied on the mixed methods approach hence it incorporated qualitative and quantitative methods in the selection of the participants, data collection and data analysis. The findings of the research study indicated that Zimbabwe has not fully managed to promote sound employment relations in the Ministry of Primary and Secondary Education as it faces a myriad of challenges which include: political instability and economic decay, delays in service delivery, mismanagement of public funds and abuse of office. To address the identified challenges the study recommended the comprehensive adoption of noble corporate governance practices in the public sector and the privatization of the CSC in order to cease the government’s intervention in its processes.
