Abstract

This study aims to analyse the discourse of online motorcycle taxi drivers on social media related to transportation electrification and its impacts on the economy and environment in DKI Jakarta. The main focus of this study is to understand the views, experiences, and interactions of online motorcycle taxi drivers who play an essential role in the urban transportation ecosystem. Using a qualitative approach and the Computer-Assisted Qualitative Data Analysis (CAQDAS) method, this study digs deeper into the discussion on social media about transportation electrification. It describes drivers' challenges, desires, and attitudes regarding green innovation. CAQDAS was chosen because of its ability to manage and analyse large volumes of qualitative data, allowing for the systematic identification of themes and patterns of discourse. The results show that adopting green innovation in the transportation sector, especially online motorcycle taxi electrification is influenced by external pressures such as consumer awareness and government policies, as well as collaboration between technology companies and drivers. Sentiment analysis shows the dominance of positive sentiment from optimistic drivers about cost savings and sustainability, although there are still practical barriers, such as initial costs and limited infrastructure. These findings emphasise the importance of proactive policies in supporting the transition to sustainable and environmentally friendly electric vehicles, considering the needs of drivers, companies, and the public sector. This research contributes to the understanding of factors influencing the adoption of electric transportation among online motorcycle taxi drivers and the economic and environmental implications of the transition.

Abstract

In recent years, NGOs have emerged as important institutions assisting governments, especially in poverty reduction. While many studies have focused on NGOs' roles in social welfare, this study examines the role of NGOs in poverty reduction by evaluating the effectiveness of the Ummah Welfare Trust (UWT) program in reducing extreme poverty in Sierra Leone. We employed a qualitative research approach, gathering data from in-depth interviews, peer-reviewed journals, reports, and online resources. We analyzed the data interactively using NVivo 12 Plus software, based by Richard M. Steers' effectiveness theory across three dimensions: integration, adaptation, and goal attainment. Our findings reveal that: (1) Integration – UWT has effectively woven its poverty alleviation program by managing policy outreach and enhancing communication while fostering public consensus. (2) Adaptation – UWT has refined its strategies through capacity building by localizing its programs to address the local community's needs. Lastly, (3) Goal attainment – although UWT is yet to achieve its objectives, it has significantly impacted extreme poverty reduction in Sierra Leone, with the rate decreasing from 26.6% in 2020 to 24.5% in 2024. This study offers evidence of how NGOs contribute to poverty reduction, highlighting their essential role in supporting governments’ efforts in nation building.

Abstract

Recently, reducing hunger has become a top priority on Africa’s development agenda. Despite efforts by governments and international donors, hunger continues to worsen across the continent. While much of the existing research has focused on the political and socio-economic drivers of hunger in Africa, few studies have explored the challenges faced when implementing policies aimed at addressing this issue, such as the 2030 Africa Agenda on Zero Hunger. This study aims to fill this gap by examining the integration, adaptability, and goal achievement of the policy using Richard M. Steers’ Effectiveness Theory as a framework. Qualitative data were collected through in-depth interviews, policy reports (2016–2024), peer-reviewed articles, and other relevant documents, then analysed with NVivo 12 Plus. The findings reveal barriers to integration caused by poor communication and limited consensus-building among stakeholders, and challenges in adaptation related to insufficient local contextualisation and capacity building. Concerning goal attainment, hunger has increased from 270.6 million to 295 million in 2024, food insecurity stands at 57.9%, and agricultural investments have decreased by 2.69%. This research contributes to the existing literature by illustrating how weak implementation can hinder policy goals, emphasising the need for more inclusive, context-sensitive, and well-coordinated strategies across Africa.

Abstract

E-democracy involves the idea that digital tools such as the Internet can enhance citizen participation in decision-making. However, Liberia, a post-conflict state, still faces challenges with e-democracy. This article explores the factors obstructing the realisation of e-democracy and its goal of fostering meaningful citizen engagement in Liberia. This study used a qualitative approach, collecting secondary data from peer-reviewed articles, official reports, newspapers, and other sources, and interactively analysed in the NVivo 12 Plus software. The analysis is based on Marianne Kneuer's theory of e-democracy, which comprises three indicators: free and equal access, e-participation, and e-government. The findings indicate that the implementation of e-democracy in Liberia encounters several obstacles: (i) limited free and unequal digital access due to weak legal protections for internet freedom, online intimidation, high internet costs, and low digital literacy; (ii) absence of e-participation as citizens struggle to access timely and reliable government information. Traditional media, especially radio, continues to be the primary source compared to digital platforms; (iii) lack of e-government services owing to ineffective online government platforms and unreliable digital services, which force citizens to rely on traditional methods to access public services.
