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

This study examines the intricate relationship between environmental sustainability and social justice within tourism. With the global imperative to address climate change and promote sustainable practices, the tourism industry stands at a pivotal juncture, where considerations of social equity and environmental stewardship must be intertwined. This study explores the concept of sustainable tourism development as a means of achieving environmental conservation as well as social justice objectives. Drawing on a multidisciplinary framework, this study examined the interconnectedness between environmental sustainability and social justice in the tourism context. It investigates how tourism activities impact local communities, mainly marginalized and vulnerable groups, and analyzes strategies to ensure an equitable distribution of benefits and opportunities. Emphasis is placed on initiatives that prioritize community engagement, cultural preservation, and empowerment of disadvantaged populations. The study also examined the role of stakeholders, including governments, tourism operators, NGOs, and local communities, in promoting a holistic approach to tourism management that balances environmental concerns with social equity goals. The ultimate aim of this study is to propose actionable recommendations and policy frameworks that integrate environmental sustainability and social justice imperatives into tourism planning and management. By fostering a symbiotic relationship among tourism development, environmental conservation, and social inclusion, this study envisions a more equitable and resilient tourism sector that contributes positively to both the planet and society.

Abstract

Witchcraft and related issues have been part of African metaphysics. It remains one of the most important human predicaments and dynamics that most scholars find difficult to comprehend. Witchcraft accusations have reached alarming rates in the Tallensi District and the five regions of northern Ghana as a whole. Among the Tallensi, accused witches or wizards were sometimes murdered by their people on the advice of a diviner from another community. Sometimes, too, when the diviner confirmed an individual or group of people as witches, they were permanently cast out or expelled from the Tallensi community. There are several academic scholarly works on witchcraft worldwide. They have been closely examined, based on anti-witchcraft shrines, children's witchcraft, ‘witch camps’ accusations, alleged witches, and ethnically related witches and affiliates. However, the current research investigates the concept of witchcraft in a global society and how people understand and relate to it in their respective communities, particularly Tallensi. It also focuses on how one could be identified as a witch or wizard in his/her community, as well as the treatment that was meted out to him/her. Finally, this study sheds more light on the role of traditional indigenous shrines in the discussion of witchcraft among the Tallensi. To achieve this, the research relied on historical sources to re-evaluate the monograph of Meyer Fortes, who argued that witchcraft and its related activities are strange to Tallensi. The current contribution also discusses the increasing role of Christian interpretation of scripture concerning witchcraft and how the same has aggravated the witchcraft quandary in Tallensi. A qualitative research approach based on both primary and secondary data sources was employed in this study. The analysis revealed that, even though people believed in the existence of witchcraft, none could provide empirical evidence to prosecute a witch or wizard. Overall, the study also established that accused witches live a life of misery in their respective communities, even if they are not murdered or banished. Ironically successive governments in Ghana have done little to ameliorate the plight of these people, but they always solicit their vote during periods of elections in the country.

Abstract

This study investigates the impact of fiscal policy on the informal sector and economic growth in Nigeria. In this study, fiscal policy is unbundled into two distinctive categories: government spending and tax burden. The study adopted the ARDL model and bound cointegration test to ascertain whether there is evidence of long- or short-run equilibrium relationships among the core variables. The results show that government expenditure has a positive and significant effect on the size of Nigeria’s informal sector. In the long run, tax or tax burden has no significant effect on the size of the informal sector in Nigeria. This might be attributed to the fact that not a significant number of businesses is captured in the tax net. The results further show that fiscal policy, measured as total government expenditure, has no statistically significant effect on Nigeria’s economic growth in the short run. However, a change in the tax burden has a positive and statistically significant effect on Nigeria’s economic growth. The study recommends that the government implement market-friendly policies that would help integrate the informal economy with the formal economy to boost government tax revenue and enhance fiscal discipline.

Abstract

This study examines the effectiveness of Nigerian government policies in combating poverty and food insecurity in the North-East, with a focus on the BAY states, Borno, Adamawa, and Yobe. Despite abundant natural resources and successive poverty alleviation programs, these regions continue to experience severe deprivation due to protracted insurgency, economic instability, and governance failures. Using a qualitative research design based on secondary data from policy documents, institutional reports, and international organizations, the study analyzes how macroeconomic reforms, such as fuel subsidy removal and currency devaluation, intersect with local agricultural and social protection policies. The findings reveal that while national and state frameworks—including the National Agricultural Technology and Innovation Policy and state-level Food Security Sector Strategies—provide structured approaches to recovery, weak institutional coordination, inflation, and insecurity undermine their effectiveness. Comparative evidence from Sub-Saharan Africa suggests that decentralized interventions and public–private partnerships enhance resilience only when supported by accountable governance and sustainable financing. The discussion integrates the Rational Comprehensive Model of Decision-Making to interpret the trade-offs between economic rationality and social welfare, emphasizing the need for adaptive, participatory policy frameworks. Overall, the study concludes that addressing food insecurity and poverty in Nigeria requires aligning macroeconomic reforms with inclusive social protection and institutional reform. It contributes to the academic discourse by linking rational policymaking, governance quality, and humanitarian resilience, offering evidence-based recommendations for achieving sustainable food security and poverty eradication in fragile contexts.

Abstract

This article aims to investigate and elaborate on key concepts in Islamic psychology, focusing on fithrah (nature), aql (intellect), nafs (self), and qalb (heart). As a primary concern, this research seeks to understand the interconnection between these four concepts and how their influence shapes human behavior and spiritual growth in the context of Islam. The research methodology involved an in-depth literature analysis of Islamic theological and philosophical sources. This approach allows researchers to explore the roots of thought and scholars' interpretations of fithrah, aql, nafs and qalb. Furthermore, this approach provides insight into how these concepts are applied in everyday life, especially in the context of education and personal development. The research findings indicate that fithrah, as inherent to human nature, plays a crucial role in guiding individuals toward spiritual and moral awareness. Aql, as a gift from Allah, grants humans the ability to think and understand, paving the way for the pursuit of knowledge and understanding of God. Nafs, as the internal dimension of humans, play a central role in self-development, understanding emotions, and maintaining a balance between worldly desires and spiritual aspirations. Qalb, or the heart, is considered the center of spirituality and moral values, requiring care to remain pure and draw closer to Allah. This article explores the implications of Islamic psychology concepts in the context of education and personal development. This research can serve as a foundation for the development of sustainable psychological approaches to holistically explore human potential, creating a balance between physical and spiritual dimensions. The final conclusion emphasizes the importance of integrating fithrah, aql, nafs, and qalb to shape a balanced and responsible human personality from an Islamic perspective.

Abstract

This study examines the problematic constitutionality of the presidential threshold in Indonesia, which continues to be polemic in various circles. The presidential threshold, which regulates the threshold for presidential and vice-presidential nominations, has caused various controversies. Supporters argue that this threshold is important for creating a strong presidential system, whereas opponents argue that it limits the rights of political parties and the public to elect the leaders they want. This debate reflects dissatisfaction with regulations that are considered contrary to the principles of social justice and the Indonesian constitution. In the context of international comparison, Brazil, as one of the largest democracies, does not apply a presidential threshold that allows for wider political pluralism. This study aims to discuss the problematic constitutionality of the presidential threshold in Indonesia and explore alternative policies that support the presidential system without sacrificing political participation. The results of this comparative study show that a thresholdless system such as Brazil can increase political participation and pluralism, although it also has challenges such as political fragmentation. These findings provide an important perspective for Indonesia to evaluate and adapt its electoral system to strengthen its democracy.
