Abstract

This study designed, developed, and evaluated a worker-side AI-powered labor matching platform for agricultural workers in post-conflict Northwest Cameroon, where the Anglophone Crisis has disrupted informal labor networks. While existing agricultural platforms prioritize farm managers or buyers, this study introduces a worker-centric approach placing agricultural workers as primary users and provides the first empirical evaluation of such a platform in a post-conflict African setting. A concurrent mixed-methods design was employed across 10 agribusinesses in Santa, Ndop, and Bamenda, tracking 350 workers (175 women, 175 men) over six months through surveys, interviews, focus groups, and usability testing. Difference-in-differences and panel regression analyses were used to assess impact. Voice-enabled, offline-capable platforms were significantly more accessible than text-based alternatives: 73% preferred voice interfaces and 87% required offline capability. Platform users experienced significant improvements: +1.0 additional days worked weekly, +2,400 CFA higher wages, and reduced wasted travel by 23 percentage points (p<0.001). Agribusinesses benefited through reduced labor shortages (-1.9 days monthly), lower hiring costs (-16,400 CFA), and decreased harvest waste (-7 percentage points). Worker-centric platforms can reduce information asymmetry when designed with voice interfaces, offline capability, multilingual support, and integration with informal networks. Policymakers and technology developers should prioritize inclusive design and rural onboarding.

Abstract

Rural tourism development has contributed significantly to the transformation and development of rural areas and has been recognised by tourism policy-makers as a key strategy for protecting environmental values, aligning closely with the principles of sustainable tourism and development. However, there is a notable lack of coherent selection criteria for tourism villages needed for development plans at both macro and micro territorial levels. This study aims to fill this gap by identifying, classifying, and prioritising criteria for selecting tourism-target villages in Iran. A combined methodological approach was adopted, consisting of a systematic review of relevant literature to extract initial criteria and a Delphi analysis with 22 experts from diverse fields to validate and prioritise the extracted criteria. The results revealed eight criteria groups, 25 main criteria, and 90 sub-criteria. The highest priority main criteria were tourism market and demand, tourist attractions, vegetation, and climate. Furthermore, approximately 57.7% of the sub-criteria exhibited moderate to high levels of impact. The proposed framework offers a transparent, evidence-based decision-support tool for national and local policymakers involved in Iran's official Tourism Target Village programme, directly addressing the absence of codified selection criteria at the national level and offering a transferable model for other developing countries.

Abstract

The agricultural sector in Sub-Saharan Africa faces severe labor shortages and productivity stagnation, with Cameroon's Centre Region experiencing particular challenges including 15% workforce decline over five years and only 1.5% annual productivity growth. This study investigated the relationship between human-AI hybrid workplace optimization and productivity in labor-intensive agricultural operations in Cameroon's Centre Region. A cross-sectional survey of 138 agricultural operators across 15 enterprises examined how human-AI collaboration intensity influences operational productivity and how hybrid workplace optimization affects workforce outcomes. Findings revealed significant positive relationships between collaboration intensity and productivity, with AI-human task sharing showing the strongest correlation (r = 0.485, p < 0.001). Hybrid workplace optimization significantly predicted workforce outcomes (R² = 0.379), with training and skill development emerging as the strongest predictor (β = 0.242, p = 0.003). This study contributes empirically to Socio-Technical Systems Theory by demonstrating that human-AI collaboration intensity is a measurable predictor of productivity outcomes in Central African agricultural contexts, extending previous research primarily focused on developed economies. The findings provide practical guidance for Cameroonian agri-businesses, cooperatives, and extension services seeking to optimize human-AI collaboration through targeted investments in training, organizational support, and clear role definition, while acknowledging infrastructural and capacity-building challenges. Given the cross-sectional design, causal relationships cannot be definitively established; future longitudinal research is recommended.

Abstract

Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) contribute substantially to employment, income generation, innovation and local economic activity, yet productive investment can be constrained when finance is costly, difficult to obtain or uncertain. In Kenya, evidence linking financing conditions, perceived financial risk and enterprise investment remains fragmented, particularly when current firm-level evidence is distinguished from macroeconomic interest-rate conditions. This article addresses that gap using genuine secondary data from the World Bank Enterprise Survey (WBES) 2025 for Kenya. The study is quantitative and explanatory, using a cross-sectional secondary-data design. The official Kenya 2025 file contains 1,024 establishments and 336 variables. Financing conditions are examined through documented indicators including access to finance as a business obstacle, internal and bank financing of working capital, bank financing of fixed assets, and loan or line-of-credit access. Investment is represented by reported fixed-asset purchases and expenditure on equipment and land or buildings. The study finds that the WBES provides a suitable empirical basis for distinguishing financing constraints, financing structure and observable investment activity, while interest-rate stability must be treated as a macro-financial context rather than an invented firm-level scale. The contribution is methodological as well as substantive, establishing a reproducible foundation for future inferential analysis of SME financing and investment in Kenya.

Abstract

The astounding and alarming rate of crime by young adult at global level have attracted attention, while cybercrime has become a material economic concern for both advanced and emerging economies. This study examines the causes of cybercrime among young adults in India and Nigeria, identifies the effects of cybercrime on the economies of India and Nigeria, and proposes appropriate solutions to the menace of cybercrime in the study countries. This study uses a descriptive comparative desk-review design based on secondary data. The units of comparison are India and Nigeria, and the sources consist of documented scholarly written materials, legislation and other publications cited in the article. The analysis was conducted by organizing the available secondary evidence into common themes that permit comparison between India and Nigeria. The findings indicate that cybercrime has increased in India and remains a major cause of concern in Nigeria, with economic consequences for individuals, businesses, and public institutions. Youth involvement, online fraud, limited investigative capacity, legal challenges, and cyber-security skills remain important concerns. The findings also have implications for cybercrime legislation, investigative capacity building, public awareness campaigns and youth employment policy, while serious action is needed to protect cyber space as a national security requirement..

Abstract

The Red and White Village/Sub-district Cooperative (KDMP) program was launched by the Indonesian government as a strategic instrument to strengthen people-based economy, grounded in Article 33 of the 1945 Constitution, with tens of thousands of cooperative units targeted to operate nationwide. The success of this program largely depends on the institutional capacity of the cooperatives, one of the main pillars of which is the professional competence of their managers. The government, through the Ministry of Cooperatives in collaboration with the National Professional Certification Agency (BNSP), has been conducting simultaneous competency certification for KDMP managers and treasurers across regions. This article aims to analyze the role of professional certification as a strategy to strengthen the institutional capacity of village cooperatives in supporting people-based economy. This research employs a descriptive qualitative approach through a literature study of regulations, policy documents, and recent scholarly publications related to KDMP. The findings indicate that professional certification contributes to three main aspects: improved institutional governance and accountability, strengthened member and community trust, and mitigation of operational and financial risks. Nevertheless, implementation challenges remain, including regional disparities in human resource quality, limited training duration, and the risk of certification becoming a mere administrative formality. This article recommends strengthening post-certification mentoring systems and continuous evaluation to ensure that professional certification genuinely functions as an effective instrument for institutional capacity building.

Abstract

T Environmental degradation and limited corporate environmental engagement remain pressing challenges in developing economies, where firms are expected to translate green strategic postures into responsible practice. Prior research has mostly treated corporate social responsibility (CSR) as one aggregate construct and has rarely tested whether CSR directed at different stakeholders affects environmental outcomes equally, particularly in North Africa. This study examines how green entrepreneurial orientation (GEO) relates to CSR practices toward employees, consumers and communities, and how each dimension relates to environmental performance (EP) and environmentally sustainable development (ESD) in Tunisia. A cross-sectional online survey was administered between February and July 2025 to 250 senior managers of Tunisian firms from six sectors, and the data were analysed with partial least squares structural equation modelling in SmartPLS 4. GEO was significantly associated with CSR toward employees (t = 4.710), consumers (t = 28.127) and communities (t = 2.297), supporting H1a to H1c. Consumer-oriented CSR (t = 11.332) and community-oriented CSR (t = 3.374) were significantly associated with EP, and consumer-oriented CSR (t = 5.457) and community-oriented CSR (t = 3.181) with ESD, whereas employee-oriented CSR was not significant for either outcome; H2a and H3a were rejected and H2b, H2c, H3b and H3c supported. The model explained 81.8 percent of the variance in EP and 66.2 percent in ESD. The study extends stakeholder theory by showing that stakeholder-specific CSR dimensions are not interchangeable and advises Tunisian managers to prioritise consumer-oriented and community-oriented CSR while strengthening the environmental content of employee-oriented practices.

Abstract

Liberia has long depended on foreign assistance or aid to complement its domestic resources to deliver on its evolving complex development priorities and needs. The decline in foreign aid poses major challenges which can be surmounted through effective domestic resource mobilization strategy and fiscal probity. This research paper aims to provide antidotes to strengthen Liberia’s ongoing domestic resource mobilization efforts and strategies to adequately bridge its fiscal gap arising from the plummeting of donor aid to Liberia. A mixed method of research designs was adopted for this study. The paper was developed from secondary data extracted from reports and studies on domestic resource mobilization, case studies, and primary data obtained through interviews with tax experts and practitioners from Liberia. The paper found that Tunisia, Seychelles, Morocco, South Africa and Senegal have sustainably mobilized domestic revenues through effective DRM strategies, including tax administration modernization and digitalization, economic diversification, broadening of tax base, transparency and fiscal governance, and effective tax audit programs. Liberia’s potential to accrue more domestic resources lies in exploring its mining sector, biodiversity and ecotourism, agricultural value chains, informal economic sector, tax administration modernization, and specialized tax compliance audit programs. These findings can support Liberia’s ARREST Agenda for Inclusive Development and reduce dependence on foreign aid.

Abstract

The growth of micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) is influenced by various factors, including financial inclusion, financial technology (fintech), and institutional quality. Although these three factors have been widely studied, comparative research comparing their roles in Indonesia and Malaysia is still limited. This study aims to analyze and compare the role of financial inclusion, financial technology, and institutional quality on the growth of MSMEs in both countries. The research uses a qualitative approach with a comparative design. Data is obtained through documentation techniques sourced from scientific articles, government reports, international organization publications, and relevant policy documents. Data analysis is carried out qualitatively through data reduction, data presentation, conclusion drawn, and strengthened by source triangulation to increase the credibility of findings. The results of the study show that financial inclusion, financial technology, and institutional quality have an important role in encouraging the growth of MSMEs in Indonesia and Malaysia. Malaysia has shown excellence in institutional quality, financial inclusion levels, and maturity of the fintech ecosystem, while Indonesia is experiencing rapid development but still faces challenges in equitable access to financing, financial literacy, and institutional effectiveness. These findings show that the growth of MSMEs requires synergy between expanding access to finance, strengthening digital innovation, and improving institutional quality. This research contributes through a cross-border comparative perspective that can be the basis for policy formulation in strengthening a sustainable MSME ecosystem.
