Mobile phones help move training programmes out of the classroom and into community settings where CHWs live and work. This chapter examines what happens to ‘learning’ when training becomes ‘mobile’. To explore this, an analysis of a three-year intervention to train 90 Kenyan CHWs is drawn from science and technology studies (STS). It is argued that when a mobile learning application is deployed in an informal urban settlement and an isolated rural village, its movement makes it available...

To understand the circumstances under which principals in remote areas exercise their leadership and management, an investigation was conducted in the Northern Cape province, South Africa. This province is characterised by small towns with few residents. The infrastructure is not up to par, and in some cases, the socio-economic conditions are extremely poor. Unemployment is a big problem in the villages. The uniqueness of this study lies in the fact that after 1994, with the abolition of...

Regular monitoring of the chemical status of water bodies remains crucial in countries where data on chemical fingerprints that can assist in environmental policy is still limited. The current study focused on the concentrations of 14 metals and their sources in two important South African rivers that pass through various rural areas and two semi-urban towns in the province of the Eastern Cape. Most of the essential metals were within the South African guidelines for domestic water use...

Since a core function of education is social and cultural formation, a question arises as to what kind of...

Whereas normal water flow in a catchment is necessary for all forms of life, the hydrologic systems in the Sigi catchment is susceptible to land use and climate changes. Over the past three decades, water balance of the Sigi Catchment has indicated changes with unknown forms and magnitudes. To uncover the dynamics, this study used SWAT model to simulate water balance to a separate and combined impact of land-use and climate change. SWAT simulation showed good performance with NSE=0.58 and...
