Abstract

Business incubation has been widely promoted across Africa as a mechanism to stimulate entrepreneurship, generate employment, and reduce poverty; however, the outcomes of many incubation programs remain below expectations. This study aims to identify and synthesize the constraints that limit the effectiveness of business incubation, with particular attention to the perspectives of both incubators and incubatees. Employing a thematic literature review of thirty-six peer-reviewed sources retrieved from major academic databases, the analysis organized evidence into incubator-level and incubatee-level factors. At the incubator level, recurring challenges include limited staff competencies, unstable funding, inadequate governance structures, insufficient facilities, weak inter-incubator collaboration, policy friction, and sustainability risks. At the incubation level, barriers are manifested in low commitment, restricted access to technical facilities and workspaces, funding obstacles, and fragile peer networks. Networking has consistently emerged as a pivotal mechanism for overcoming resource scarcity and building collaborative capacity. The findings suggest that incubation outcomes are shaped not only by the resources and skills of incubators but also by the engagement and networking capabilities of incubatees. The study concludes that the underperformance of business incubation in Africa results from multiple interacting bottlenecks, highlighting the importance of professional capacity building, robust governance, financial stability, and the institutionalization of networks to improve entrepreneurial outcomes. By integrating fragmented evidence into a two-actor framework, this research contributes to the incubation literature and offers practical guidance for policymakers and program managers seeking to strengthen entrepreneurial ecosystems in resource-constrained environments.

Abstract

Although beekeeping significantly affects the environment, this agricultural sector faces numerous obstacles. This study examines the ecological impacts of local beekeeping methods in Mayo Darle, Cameroon. Employing the explanatory sequential design, 175 participants were chosen through stratified random sampling and were given structured questionnaires, interviews, and observations for gathering data. Data analysis was conducted using the Chi-Square distribution test and frequency tables. Tree planting activities (63.8%, X2 = 187.434, p = 0.000), the creation of home gardens (66%, X2 = 215.959, p = 0.000), flower pollination (45.6%, X2 = 84.291, p = 0.000), and the occurrences of bush fires (noted by 87.1% prior and 12.4% currently with beekeeping, X2 = 171.516, p = 0.000) were all reported to have shown a positive and significant increase. On the downside, it was observed that access to land had significantly diminished (reported at 98.4% before and now 0% with beekeeping, X2 = 286.803, p = 0.000), and the occurrence of medicinal plants had notably reduced (from 93.6% previously to about 14% with beekeeping, X2 = 182.778, p = 0.000). Promoting environmental sustainability via sustainable beekeeping can aid in safeguarding the ecosystem and yield beneficial ecological outcomes, mitigating the adverse impacts of climate change.
