Abstract

Purpose: This study established the effect of Boda-boda Business Activity (BBA) on socioeconomic transformation in Wakiso District, Uganda. Methods: This study employed a descriptive design with quantitative and qualitative approaches. A total of 89 respondents were determined from 114 people at the boda-boda stage in Kitemu.  Questionnaires and interviews were used to collect data. The data were analyzed using SPSS to generate descriptive statistics. SEM was employed to establish the causal effect between the variables. Results: The results indicated that people joined BBA to earn a living to support their families (Mean=4.4; Std.D=0.756), due to a lack of jobs (Mean=4.07; Std.D=1.055), and ease of repairing motorbikes (Mean=3.85; Std.D=1.417). Furthermore, BBA had a significant effect on socioeconomic transformation (?=0.392; p?0.000). Conclusion: The BBA has the potential to bring substantial socioeconomic transformation, including employment creation (mean=4.0), improved mobility (mean=4.12), and stimulated local commerce (mean=3.79) in Kitemu Ward. Thus, the BBA had a positive effect on socioeconomic transformation (?=0.392, p<0.001). Limitation: The study employed a descriptive survey design on motorbike riders in Kitemu Ward, which might hinder generalization of the study findings. Thus, more studies need to be conducted using different research designs on a larger sample of boda-boda stages in Wakiso. Contributions: This study provides information to the Ministry of Work and Transport on how the boda-boda sector can be improved to enhance socioeconomic transformation in Wakiso.

Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to examine the relationship between government spending and agricultural output in Zimbabwe, while also evaluating the effects of macroeconomic variables such as inflation, carbon emissions, rainfall, population growth, and temperature on agricultural output. Methods: The Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) model was employed using time-series data from 1980 to 2022. Data were sourced from the World Bank and the IMF. Diagnostic tests, including stationarity checks, cointegration analysis, and stability assessments (CUSUM and CUSUMSQ), were conducted to ensure the robustness of the model. Results: The findings reveal significant short- and long-run relationships between government spending and agricultural output. Government expenditure, rainfall, and population positively influenced agricultural productivity, whereas inflation and carbon emissions had a negative effect. The ARDL model explains 95% of the variation in agricultural output, indicating a strong model fit and predictive power. Conclusion: The Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) model demonstrated a positive relationship between government spending and agricultural output in both the short and long terms. Based on the results, the study concluded that sustained government support through subsidies, grants, and other resources has the potential to enhance agricultural productivity in Zimbabwe over time. Limitations: The study is limited by the availability and quality of historical data, which may constrain the precision of certain estimates. Contributions: This research assists the Ministry of Lands, Agriculture, Fisheries, Water, and Rural Development in developing targeted interventions to enhance the performance and resilience of Zimbabwe's farmers and agribusinesses. The findings can help the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe align its policies with the evolving needs of farmers, especially post-COVID-19 and amid the Russia-Ukraine conflict.

Abstract

Purpose: This study investigates the antecedents and consequences of e-procurement in Ghana, focusing on its role in enhancing transparency and accountability in public procurement. Methods: The research sampled 200 respondents from various government agencies in Accra, including the Department of Roads, Ghana Cocoa Board, Ghana Health Service, and Tema Metropolitan Assembly. Data were analyzed using graphs, tables, descriptive statistics, chi-squared tests, and simple regression analysis. Results: The findings revealed that the effective implementation of e-procurement in Ghana began in 2019, with agencies such as the Department of Feeder Roads, Ghana Cocoa Board, Ghana Health Service, Koforidua Technical University, and Tema Metropolitan Assembly adopting the system. The Ghana e-procurement system (GHANEPS) includes key components such as e-tendering, e-requisition, e-tender evaluation, e-supplier selection, and e-supplier relationship management. The study also found that transparency, accountability, automation, and a secure system were critical success factors in reducing corruption. In addition, a positive association was observed between e-procurement adoption and transparency in public procurement. Conclusion: The findings underscore the significant role of e-procurement in enhancing transparency and accountability in Ghana’s public procurement processes. Limitations: The study was limited to selected government agencies in Accra, which may restrict the generalizability of the findings to other regions and institutions in Ghana. Contributions: This research contributes to the literature on public procurement reforms in Ghana, highlighting the effectiveness of e-procurement in enhancing transparency and accountability in public procurement, which has not been examined in previous studies in the Ghanaian context.

Abstract

Purpose: This study examines the effect of TSA on Nigeria’s public sector governance cost. Research methodology: This study employed a descriptive survey research design. Ten Federal Ministries, Departments & Agencies (MDAs) in Anambra State constituted the study population. The study chose Ten respondents from each MDA were selected using purposive sampling. This study employed primary data from a structured questionnaire for data collection. Results: The results show that e-accounting and TSA have a substantial impact on national spending by curbing leakages, but with little effect on federally generated revenue. Thus, e-accounting and TSA significantly impact the cost of governance. Limitations: The study relied only on questionnaire responses, which is the perception of public-sector employees in MDAs. Contributions: This study contributes to governance and policy research by identifying the benefits of TSA in reducing the overall cost of governance. Novelty: By integrating all government accounts, enabling the government to track and monitor its activities at any time, and giving the government a comprehensive view of its financial position, this study supports stakeholder theory, in addition to the Public Finance Management Perspective, which maintains that the government should effectively manage all financial resources (mobilization and expenditure) for the benefit of the population.

Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to examine the effects of inflation, exchange rates, and the Covid-19 pandemic on Indonesia's trade balance position and to develop an empirical estimation model to predict its position. Method: The data used in this research are the inflation rate, exchange rate of rupiah to the US dollar, export value, and import value of Indonesia from January 2012 to March 2021. The econometric model used in this study was a binary logistic regression model. Results: The results indicate that The regression coefficient of the inflation rate is negative at 0.3621, with an odds ratio of 0.696. This suggests that 1 percent in inflation reduces the probability of a trade balance surplus of 0.696. The regression coefficient for the exchange rate was positive at 2.18, with an odds ratio of 8.85. This means that every 2.72 rupiah increase in the exchange rate raises the probability of a trade balance surplus of 8.85 times. However, this study does not find empirical evidence that inflation, exchange rates, and pandemic of Covid-19 have no impact on the position of Indonesia's trade balance. Limitations: This study focuses on two factors believed to influence the position of trade balance in Indonesia: the inflation rate and foreign exchange rates. Contributions: This study provides insights into government policy.

Abstract

Purpose: Considering the recent phenomenon, there has been an increase in the types and sources of village programs, but program implementation often needs improvement. The cause of failure is thought to be that the ministry designed and implemented the program unilaterally, running partially without stakeholder involvement. Therefore, the objectives of this research are (1) to explain stakeholder involvement and (2) to identify critical factors for the success of village program integration. Research methodology: To the research objectives, the method used is a micro-qualitative method through social mapping as an instrument for community development models. Results: The results obtained are research findings, which consist of (a) the village government's initiation through discussion forums succeeded in equalizing stakeholder perceptions and (b) initiation becomes a way for program integration and an arena capable of encouraging the development of program democratization. Limitations: The research limitation is that the research area only covers one village, so the conclusions obtained are micro. The scope of the substance and area must be expanded to obtain a more comprehensive picture and more in-depth formulation of the findings. Contribution: The research explains that program integration supports improving the socio-economic conditions of village communities, strengthening collaboration, sharing resources, responsibility, innovation, and program expansion.

Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to identify how the implementation of the public information disclosure policy in the House of Representatives (DPR) in 2019-2021 is going and to find the right strategies to be implemented so that the DPR can become an informative public body. Research methodology: This research uses a qualitative descriptive method with a case study approach, where primary and secondary data are obtained through in-depth interviews with predetermined key informants, field observations, and literature studies relevant to the research topic. Results: The findings show that the implementation of public information disclosure policy in Parliament is still not optimal due to various obstacles in the process of documenting, classifying, managing, and serving public information that are technical, administrative, bureaucratic, and political in nature. DPR needs to start building and developing an internal big data system that is connected to real time public information management and service applications. In addition, the active role of Members and factions in the House in providing public information is also important to support the successful implementation of public information disclosure in the House.

Abstract

Purpose: The aim of this research is to analyze the effectiveness of implementing the Waste Bank as an indicator of achieving the principles of Good Environmental Governance in Bandarlampung City in order to increase public awareness regarding the importance of a healthy environment. Research methodology: This study employs a normative method using a descriptive analysis approach. Secondary data were acquired through meticulous literature review and subjected to qualitative analysis. Rigorous literature selection ensured data validity. The outcomes of the analysis served as the basis for accurate conclusions within the research. Results: The research results show that the role of waste banks as an indicator of the principles of good environmental governance in Bandarlampung is not yet effective. Therefore, law enforcement is needed, which covers three aspects: structure, substance, and community culture. Limitations: The population growth in Indonesia, especially in urban areas, is dynamic. This causes a high population, which results in the accumulation of rubbish in people's lives. Contributions: Ineffective waste management is the basic reason for the Bandarlampung City Government to collaborate with Bandarlampung City Cleaning Service to socialize the role of waste banks. This socialization activity is an effort to enable people to carry out 3M activities (Draining, Covering and Burying) and use waste as a business opportunity.
