An upsurge in the quest for quality higher education caused many countries to establish external quality assurance (EQA) bodies globally. This move gave birth to multiple EQA bodies in Namibia viz. the Namibia Qualifications Authority (NQA) and National Council for Higher Education (NCHE), including numerous professional bodies. All these bodies were mandated to assure the quality of Namibia’s higher education system. The latter resulted in a perception that the functions of these bodies overlap, especially regarding programme accreditation. Hence, the purpose of this study was to investigate the seemingly overlapping programme accreditation functions of the NQA, NCHE, Health Professions Council…


This qualitative study investigates the experiences of people living in the Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States (OECS) with spinal cord injuries (SCI). The OECS has seen a steady rise in SCI, mainly due to vehicular collisions and gunshot wounds. Despite ongoing global interest in the lived experience of persons with disabilities, little to no research has been done in the OECS to capture the experiences of people with SCI. The phenomenological framework was used to conduct this study, and the following questions guided the research procedures: (a) in what ways do people with SCI experience daily life? (b) what are…


The focus of this research is to investigate the how to improve the operation of MSMEs in Botswana. Although a high performing African country, Botswana is plagued by chronic unemployment particularly amongst its youth. The purpose of the integrated model is to provide a method for MSMEs to self evaluate and this identify areas within their operations which can be improved. The model is derived from four (4) key areas Finance and Capital, Teamwork, Business Environment and Productivity. Each of these factors are derived from development theories established in the second half of the 20th…

Course Summary Law is taught from a range of perspectives, based on the finest traditions of legal education and recent innovations for the 21st century. Our approach is to examine law well beyond basic legal rules and legal institutions, taking account of wider contexts and discourses that allow deeper understanding of law in society. With this approach, the University of Suffolk provides students with a firm grounding in the subject of law and the contexts in which law functions. Equally important is the breadth and depth of education that this subject facilitates. Students will be equipped to take on challenging…


The economy of Kenya’s arid and semi-arid lands relies primarily on livestock keeping. In Turkana, livestock farming is depended on by over 60% of the population; a source of food and nutrition, income, and capital for diversified sources of living. Abattoirs are crucial tertiary markets and units of livestock trade capable of linking livestock-producing areas and herders with potential markets. Conversely, operational challenges have grossly hindered Kenyan abattoirs’ functionality, competitiveness, and profitability. The focus of the study was the non-functionality of the Lomidat abattoir in Turkana, established in 2006 by AMREF and Terra Nuova using donor assistance but halted operations…


Extractive companies are major players in the economic landscapes of many developing countries. While the macroeconomic impact of extractive sector operations is significant and positive, the microeconomic impact of extraction enterprises is uneven, and in many cases could be greatly enhanced if companies adopted more explicit policies and practices to expand economic opportunity along their value chains. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the impact of extractive industry local content on community development in Turkana County, Kenya. The paper was anchored by the stakeholder theory and employed a desktop research approach. The paper established that extractive industry local…
