This study dwells on xenophobia and the realities of actualizing the United Nations (UN) Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) eight in South Africa. It argues that since the emergence of Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) in 2000, which transited to Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in 2015, there has been a proliferation of literature from scholars of diverse disciplinary orientations. However, none of these studies deal with the phenomenon of xenophobia as a milestone for the attainment of the SDGs in South Africa. This paper, therefore, serves as an intervention to discuss how xenophobia affects the realization/ actualization of the UN’s SDG eight in the area under consideration. Using extant literature and the rational choice theory, it affirms that without peace and partnership with other countries, it would be very difficult for South Africa to attain the UN SDGs it envisages to achieve. To be focused and in-depth in the analysis of the phenomena under consideration the study centers exclusively on the UN SDG eight (even though there are seventeen SDGs of the UN) which hinges on decent work and economic growth. The evidence thrown up led to the major conclusion that the persistent xenophobic attacks and the resultant massive destruction of lives and businesses of foreigners, South Africa’s quest for the full-fledged realization of United Nations (UN) Sustainable Development Goal eight would remain mere paperwork. Given the increasing prevalence of xenophobic attacks in the study area, the paper suggests, among others, the building of meaningful, lasting, and effective partnerships. This entails that xenophobia in the country will be nipped in the bud.

Food insecurity remains a significant challenge for developing nations, prompting initiatives like the Millennium Development Goals (MDG), Sustainable Development Goals (SDG), and Agenda 2030 to prioritise food security. In this context, regional transportation infrastructure is crucial for West Africa's economic development and growth. Notable advancements have reduced transportation times for goods, yet there is an urgent need to establish reliable transport infrastructure to ensure food security. This paper uses qualitative methods and secondary sources to investigate contemporary trends in regional transport infrastructure and its impact on food security in ECOWAS. It analyses challenges, opportunities, and potential strategies for improvement. The paper concludes that a multifaceted approach, including strengthened transportation infrastructure and effective monitoring and evaluation, is essential for addressing food security challenges in West Africa.

Violence has become a serious threat, birthing crime, insecurity, and ethnic hatred that threaten national unity. While violence has remained an obstacle to the peaceful conduct of elections, it assumed a disturbing dimension in Lagos during the 2023 elections, where ethnicity was weaponized to polarise the nation. Whereas studies on electoral violence abound in literature, the desperation and impunity that trailed the 2023 elections and the tribal hatred it generated are dimensions of electoral violence requiring investigation. Therefore, this paper aims to highlight the violence that characterized the 2023 elections in Lagos State. It examined the ethnic bigotry that triggered the violence and its implications for peaceful coexistence and national unity. A qualitative data collection method uses secondary data from books, journals, newspapers, and magazines. Content analysis is chosen for better analysis of the study. Employing race and ethnicity and relative deprivation theories, the study found that ethnic violence was a scheme deviously politicized to instigate electoral violence in the bid to retain political power. Findings from the study showed that the violence threatened peaceful coexistence and the sense of brotherhood among Nigerians. It recommended stringent sanctions for the perpetrators of violence and the parties they represent. Policymakers will benefit from this study as it will provide the information needed for policymaking on handling electoral and non-electoral violence.

The tourism industry is currently very prospective in improving the economy; in general, tourism must have value as an attraction for tourists. Bawean Island has various potentials for tourism development and is expected to become a regional icon in East Java Province. However, it is hampered by the religious culture embraced by the local community. It is feared that the increasing number of tourists will change society's culture, attitudes, and manners. This study aims to determine the obstacles to increasing tourism potential on Bawean Island, which are feared to change the existing culture. Qualitative research is used to explore tourism problems with the religious culture of local communities through the Gresik Regency Government, namely the Tourism Office and community leaders as subjects in this study; data collection is carried out using observation, documentation, and interview techniques. Research results show that the potential of tourism in Bawean Island is challenging to develop into a tourist island. Regional government policy regulations of Gresik Regency and East Java Province, such as regional regulations and regional spatial plans, have not been able to maximize tourism potential on Bawean Island. The strong religious culture of the local community is still a significant obstacle to developing tourism potential. There is a need to integrate cultural values and sustainable tourism approaches. So far, the focus on this research concept has never been carried out by other researchers who have linked tourism development amidst the issue of high religiosity. What is new about this research is that not all cultures have values that can be compared to opportunities for economic growth.

In the last decade, South Africa has experienced an influx of undocumented immigrants. This causes strain on government departments in dealing with the number of people entering the country illegally. It further creates a problem within the legal policy frameworks on managing immigration. Ongoing deliberations regarding undocumented immigrants have continued to spread across the country, which raises a more complex phenomenon of causing panic among the public and political officials and needing thorough attention from policymakers. This study aimed to investigate the challenges faced by South African law enforcement agencies in dealing with the illicit population. Although policing of illegal immigrants has developed in a vacuum, there is a need for a more sensitive approach to the attributes that lead to the escalation of illicit immigrants. The findings reveal that the management of illegal immigrants has become a problem for which departments show little care or concern due to a lack of collaborative efforts and policy implementation. There is also a lack of cooperation, crime is rising, cities and communities are overcrowded, and the public has turned to their methods of resolving the problem. The methodology adopted in this study was qualitative, and data were collected using secondary sources and materials. This paper aimed to assess the role of law enforcement agencies in dealing with the illicit population.

The COVID-19 pandemic, which emerged in Wuhan, China, in late 2019, has been identified as one of the most severe forms of global public health crises that have confronted the world since World War I &II. Its rapid spread and debilitating impact made the world standstill as economies and health systems visibly shook. The Protocol to the African Charter on Human and People Rights on the Rights of Women in Africa and the Convention on the Eradication of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women CEDAW obligates states to ensure the protection of women's rights to respect for their dignity and protection from violence. However, measures instituted by domestic authorities to mitigate the spread of the COVID-19 disease, such as lockdowns, stay-at-home, and travel bans, have resulted in the infringement on such rights. Women's rights have been infringed on with increased violence against women, intimate partner violence, and gender-based violence. Similarly, access to healthcare services for women and girls was stifled, and their sexual and reproductive rights were primarily left to the sidelines with the diversion of resources to COVID-19 treatment, resulting in a significant increase in stillbirth, maternal depression, and maternal deaths. Using a desk review of secondary data, the paper interrogates the infringement of women's rights in Africa arising from the COVID-19 pandemic and the response and recovery measures instituted by African governments. The paper concludes that the response measures developed by states to combat the COVID-19 pandemic negatively impacted women's rights and gender equality in Africa. And that States failed in their obligations to promote and protect women's rights in Africa. It recommends that States and the African Union ensure the protection of women's rights in line with the goals of Agenda 2063.

his study explores the Open Government Partnership Local Action Plan (RAD) and its contribution to strengthening governance, focusing on maternal health services in Banggai District. The research employs a qualitative, descriptive approach to analyze three key aspects: action planning, implementation, and evaluation. Findings reveal that the RAD program plays a pivotal role in addressing maternal health challenges, particularly in response to a significant rise in maternal mortality rates. One innovative initiative under the RAD program is Ambulance Dering, which transitioned maternal health services from offline to online through the DraivCare application. This application has introduced transparency, inclusiveness, and digital innovation in service delivery. However, the app’s limited adoption, evident from minimal downloads, indicates the need for enhanced socialization and outreach to increase community utilization. In evaluating the program, five governance principles were examined: transparency, participation, innovation, accountability, and inclusiveness. While the DraivCare application has improved openness and inclusiveness, challenges persist in fostering stronger accountability and active community participation. The study highlights the importance of strategic communication, effective program promotion, and active public involvement to optimize the impact of RAD's governance. Further development of the DraivCare application is recommended to improve its accessibility and functionality, ensuring better outcomes for maternal health services and governance in Banggai District.

East Kotawaringin District in Central Kalimantan Province faces recurring forest and land fires with severe environmental and social consequences. To address this, the Central Kalimantan Provincial Government delegated fire management responsibilities to local agencies in East Kotawaringin through the Regional Regulation of Central Kalimantan Province No. 1 of 2020. This study aims to evaluate the process of responsibility transfer and its implementation in disaster management using qualitative methods, including document analysis, interviews with local officials, and case studies of 2023 fire incidents. The findings indicate that the regulation has well-structured the transfer of responsibilities, enabling a more localized response. However, significant challenges persist, such as limited training for field officers, inadequate budget allocations, and insufficient infrastructure and logistics. The study highlights the importance of provincial support and stakeholder collaboration in addressing these challenges. Strengthening training, funding, and infrastructure is essential to optimize fire control efforts in East Kotawaringin District moving forward.

This study explores the relationship between public relations (PR) strategies and hospital administration in Delta State, Nigeria. Using a mixed-methods approach, the study investigates how PR tactics are integrated into daily operations, their impact on healthcare services, stakeholder involvement, patient satisfaction, and overall perception of healthcare facilities. The sample consisted of 400 patients and staff from three selected hospitals. Data was collected through a questionnaire and interviews with hospital executives, public relations specialists, and key stakeholders. Interviews with hospital executives, public relations specialists, and key stakeholders on managing the hospitals' reputation and public image are used to collect qualitative data. Findings show that PR strategies are significant for communicating hospital policies and can be easily incorporated into daily practice without disrupting operations. It was also revealed that clear communication through PR practices can translate to better patient expectations and understanding, providing a better experience. The study recommends that feedback mechanisms be applied to patients and staff to make it easy for hospitals to determine challenges and the impact of PR strategies and even integrate improvements. The study is significant to healthcare administration and public relations, and it will show how these two industries might work together to enhance healthcare delivery and patient happiness for healthcare administrators in Delta State.

Political recruitment within the Party can be less transparent. The recruitment process sometimes does not pay attention to the quality of the candidates. This study aims to analyze political recruitment related to the quality of candidates in the 2017 Regional Elections in Tasikmalaya City. The theory used in this study is the candidate quality theory (Jacobson & Kernell, 2006). This study uses a qualitative method with a phenomenological study approach. Data was collected through in-depth interviews, document studies, and literature studies. The informants in this study are PAN elites and cadres in TasikmalayaCity, DPW/DPP PAN cadres, and political observers in Tasikmalaya City. The study results explain that PAN deputy mayor candidates have low candidate quality. The findings in this study explain that PAN recruits candidates for mayor and deputy mayor of Tasikmalaya differently. The candidate for mayor of Tasikmalaya from PAN is recruited based on the quality of suitable candidates, while the candidate for deputy mayor is recruited due to financial strength. The difference was made because the candidate's considerable financial strength affected the party leadership. This resulted in the split support of party cadres in the regional elections. Seeing such problems, a transparent and merit-based recruitment process is needed. This research further strengthens the idea that the political recruitment process dramatically affects the internal dynamics of political parties.
