Abstract

Human displacement is a growing problem in Africa. In Somalia, the traumas of human displacement were compounded by the COVID-19 pandemic and other welfare shocks.  These resulted into growing poverty and food insecurity. This study analysed the determinants of severe hunger among Somali households during the COVID-19 pandemic, focusing on displacement status, livelihood sources and other demographic variables. The data were collected in two panels by the Somalia National Bureau of Statistics in 2021-2022, using the stratified random sampling. Data were analysed with Zero-Inflated Random Effects Poisson (ZIP) model within the framework of the Generalized Structural Equation Model (GSEM) in STATA 17. The results showed that the proportion of households not experiencing severe hunger declined from 34.51% to 26.54% in 2021 and 2022, respectively. Exposure to shocks increased markedly, while economic activity and income improvements contracted. The econometric results showed that education, remittances, pensions, NGO assistance, and wage employment reduced hunger severity, whereas sickness, disability, displacement, and exposure to shocks intensified it. Income changes during the COVID-19 pandemic also played a central role, with stagnant or declining incomes strongly associated with higher hunger severity. These findings highlight the multidimensional nature of food insecurity in fragile states with emphases on prioritization of education, wage employment, and shock-responsive safety nets, while scaling up pensions and targeted humanitarian assistance.

Abstract

Purpose: The rapid development of the retail sector driven by digital technology and accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic has transformed consumer shopping behavior and intensified competition in the retail industry. Retailers are increasingly adopting multichannel marketing strategies by integrating physical and digital channels to meet changing consumer preferences. However, limited studies have examined the role of technology acceptance in shaping customer experience, satisfaction, and loyalty simultaneously within a multichannel context, particularly in vegetable retail businesses. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the influence of technology acceptance on customer experience, satisfaction, and loyalty. Design/Methodology/Approach: This research uses quantitative research methods. The criteria respondents are women have online and offline shopping experience. The data analysis method uses Structural Equation Model (SEM)-PLS with WarpPLS7.0. Findings: The result is acceptance of technology has positive and significant effect on experience, satisfaction and loyalty. However, technology acceptance does not have a positive and insignificant effect on loyalty. Experience has a positive and significant effect on satisfaction and loyalty. Satisfaction has a positive and significant effect on loyalty. Customer experience has a positive and significant effect on loyalty through satisfaction. Originality/Value/Novelty: This study provides new insights by integrating technology acceptance, customer experience, satisfaction, and loyalty within a multichannel vegetable retail context. The findings highlight the importance of technology-supported customer experiences in enhancing satisfaction and fostering customer loyalty in multichannel retail environments.

Abstract

Purpose: Rural youth face their most significant challenge when they try to access digital technology for their productive economic work because the digital divide continues to exist. The internet infrastructure in many rural areas has improved but people still lack digital skills and they fail to use online platforms for business purposes. This research study investigates how rural youth learn digital skills and assesses how structured digital training programs help them start online businesses and develop their rural-based businesses. Design/Methodology/Approach: The researchers conducted their study using a mixed-methods approach which included surveys and interviews and observations and document analysis that studied rural youth in Malang Regency Indonesia. The researchers used quantitative data to assess digital literacy and internet usage patterns while the qualitative data examined the obstacles and assistance systems that digital entrepreneurs face in their work. Findings: The research results demonstrate that people in the study area have sufficient internet access but they still use the internet for business activities at a low level. Digital platforms serve as content consumption tools for rural youth who do not use them to create content or market their products online. The main obstacles to progress include insufficient digital abilities combined with expensive internet access and missing mentorship and training resources.  The combination of training and mentoring together with infrastructure development helps people to build their digital skills which leads to increased e-commerce entrepreneurship activities. Originality/Value/Novelty: The implementation of a complete empowerment framework needs cooperation between government authorities, internet service providers, village enterprises (BUMDES), and local citizens to achieve inclusive and sustainable digital advancements in rural areas.

Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to examine the determinants of consumer behavior in purchasing halal products by evaluating the relative influence of psychological and behavioral factors. Given the inconsistent findings reported in previous studies, this research seeks to provide a clearer understanding of the drivers of halal product consumption across different contexts. Design/Methodology/Approach: A meta-analysis was conducted by synthesizing eighteen empirical studies published between 2014 and 2024. Using a random-effects model, the study calculated Standardized Mean Differences (SMDs) for eight variables, including halal awareness, halal logo, attitude, religiosity, trust, subjective norm, purchase intention, and actual buying behavior. Publication bias was also assessed to ensure the robustness of the analysis. Findings: The results indicate that attitude (SMD = 0.331, p = 0.050) and purchase intention (SMD = 0.238, p = 0.197) are the strongest predictors of halal product purchasing behavior. In contrast, religiosity (SMD = −0.279, p = 0.030) shows a statistically significant but negative relationship, suggesting that religious commitment alone may not sufficiently explain consumer behavior without contextual enablers such as certification trust, accessibility, and product availability. Meanwhile, halal logo and consumer awareness demonstrate smaller and more heterogeneous effects across studies. Originality/Value/Novelty: This study contributes to the literature by providing a quantitative synthesis of factors shaping halal product purchasing behavior through meta-analysis. The findings highlight the importance of integrating psychological determinants, particularly attitude and purchase intention, with contextual market factors to better understand consumer behavior in halal markets.

Abstract

Purpose: Although residential and waste sector greenhouse gases from urban areas pose urgent challenges for medium-sized cities in developing countries, the latest mitigation studies tend to concentrate on metropolitan areas and sectors. Design/Methodology/Approach: This paper presents a new comparative Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) framework in which cross-sectoral residential and waste strategies come together on the basis of a multistakeholder decision-making model for medium-sized cities in developing countries. Utilizing Mojokerto City, Indonesia as a case study, five criteria emission reduction effectiveness, implementation cost, ease of implementation, public acceptance, and policy support were evaluated for seven mitigation options. We chose 10 purposively selected experts from academics, practitioners, policymakers, non-governmental organizations, and community groups to provide sources of data. Findings: The results show the separation of organic and inorganic waste, as well as processing organic waste, are the most important strategies due to their prominent mitigation effect, behavioral feasibility, and social acceptability. Technological-based and compliance-oriented initiatives ranked among the moderate to lower-ranking measures, as institutional and practical constraints dictate. Originality/Value/Novelty: This study is novel in its interdependency on comparative weighting among multistakeholder analyses which identifies trade-offs, preference divergences, and consensus patterns between actor groups, contributing to an adaptive and replicable priority-setting model for medium-sized cities aiming for inclusive, context-sensitive low-carbon transitions.

Abstract

Purpose: This study examined the effect of livelihood sources on rural income and its sustainability in northern Nigeria, particularly within the context of conflict and the COVID-19 pandemic. It aimed to determine how different livelihood engagements influence income levels and income sustainability among rural households. Design/Methodology/Approach: The study utilized panel data from Rounds 1 and 2 of the Data in Emergency (DIEM) surveys conducted by the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) in 2021 and 2022. The analysis employed Ordered Probit, Generalized Ordered Probit, Tobit, and Generalized Heckman regression models to assess the determinants of income changes and sustainability across livelihood categories. Findings: The results revealed that crop farming (35.74%) and livestock farming (34.27%) were the dominant livelihood sources. About 32.94% of households experienced slight income reductions, while 30.30% reported slight income increases. The Generalized Heckman results indicated that income significantly increased (p<0.05) among households engaged in crop farming, livestock farming, and mixed crop-livestock activities, as well as among those with basic and higher education. The Generalized Ordered Probit model showed that income sustainability was significantly (p<0.05) enhanced by residence in Bono, Katsina, and Zamfara states, attainment of basic and higher education, being unaffected by COVID-19, and engagement in crop-only and mixed crop-livestock farming. Originality/Value/Novelty: This study provides empirical evidence on the role of livelihood diversification and education in promoting income resilience and sustainability during periods of health crises and conflict in northern Nigeria. By integrating pandemic-related shocks with livelihood analysis using advanced econometric models, it contributes to policy discussions on strengthening rural income stability through agricultural promotion and access to formal education.

Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to examine the role of smart governance in reducing stunting prevalence among children under five in South Asia, a region with the highest global rate, by addressing gaps in governance quality and development factors that influence child health outcomes. Design/Methodology/Approach: The research employs a quantitative panel time-averaging approach using annual data from 2000 to 2022 across eight South Asian countries, namely Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka. It analyzes two governance indicators, regulatory quality and control of corruption, from the Worldwide Governance Indicators, and two development indicators, health expenditure per capita and internet usage, from the World Development Indicators, along with control variables, using fixed effects models, time averaging, between transformation, classical assumption tests, and robustness checks. Findings: The findings show that improvements in regulatory quality and control of corruption significantly reduce stunting prevalence by 2.06 percent and 1.36 percent, respectively, while increases in health expenditure per capita and internet usage reduce stunting by 0.065 percent and 0.08 percent. In contrast, higher anemia prevalence among pregnant women and increased CO2 emissions exacerbate stunting, whereas globalization reduces it. Originality/Value/Novelty: This study offers novelty by integrating governance quality and digital transformation within a Society 5.0 framework, emphasizing the importance of data driven governance and technological advancement in addressing complex public health challenges, and providing evidence based policy recommendations aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals, particularly SDG 2 and SDG 3, for inclusive, sustainable, and resilient health system improvements across developing regions globally, thereby ensuring long term policy effectiveness.
