Knowledge management is an organizational process of creating a centralized knowledge source that enables acquiring, assimilating, distributing, integrating, sharing, retrieving and reuse of internal and external, explicit and tacit knowledge to promote innovation in the organization.Higher education institutions are not an exception and must be at the center of knowledge management practices as they are the major producers of a country's workforce.The knowledge from individuals, systems and...

We conduct a randomized field experiment to study the effects of two financial education interventions offered to small-scale retailers in rural western Uganda. The treatments contrast “active learning” with traditional “lecturing” within standardized lesson-plans. After six months, active learning has a positive effect on savings and investment outcomes, in contrast to small or zero effects for lecturing. After four years, estimates come with substantial uncertainty but are generally larger...

Science, technology, and innovation (STI) are generally accepted as major drivers of growth and can help address poverty and directly improve the well-being of different groups in society. However, under certain circumstances, STI can reinforce social exclusion and inequalities. This book explores discourses around directionality and the importance of Innovation for Inclusive Development (IID) in addressing policy questions that explore the relationship between IID with inequalities in...

Lablab pupureus (L.), is a multipurpose drought tolerant legume which is considered as a minor crop in Kenya, hence, it is underutilized. In Kenya there are few known Lablab genotypes for specific environments. Choice of genotypes to grow is based on colour preference and seed availability, thus low yields are obtained. To assess the status of Lablab production in Kenya, a baseline survey was conducted in Lablab growing localities. A disproportionate stratified sampling was used and a...

Objective: The effect of indoor air pollution from different fuel types on the anemia status among non-pregnant women is rarely studied. This study aimed to assess the link between indoor air pollution from different fuel types and anemia among non-pregnant women of reproductive ages in Ethiopia. Method: The secondary data from the 2016 Ethiopian Demographic and Health Survey data have been employed for this study. The anemia status of women in reproductive age was the outcome variable with...

The surge in information security breaches in higher learning institutions has prompted researchers to identify factors that need to be considered to ensure compliance with information systems security controls in place. This chapter investigated factors that influence compliance with information systems security by adopting a conceptual framework that combines the protection motivation theory (PMT) and the skills theory as the guiding framework. Data was collected from a convenient sample...

The healthcare sector across most global south countries is challenged by various issues and this includes poor service delivery. The delivery of quality service within healthcare institutions is complicated by unprecedented emigration of healthcare workers to the global north. The other challenges include, poor funding and infrastructure, limited medical resources, equipment, and shortage of health care experts. As such this study examines how on and off the job training of healthcare...

This paper describes the current situation of the use of E-learning in Moroccan higher education at the time of COVID-19. We present a comparative study of the most well‐known E-learning platforms widely used in universities and higher education for E-learning while focusing on analyzing the solutions adopted by Moroccan establishments during the current crisis. The objective is to highlight the limitations and describe the challenges facing the development of an appropriate E-learning system in Morocco.

This chapter focuses on Special Needs Education Teachers enrolled in Open Distance Learning (ODL) intuitions focusing on electronic teaching and learning. The advent of disruptive technologies and the COVID-19 pandemic have transformed the face of teacher development, as they have disrupted the usual way of doing practical subjects. The COVID-19 pandemic, in particular, has pushed educators into new frontiers of assessments in the form of e-portfolios. The usual approach—i.e., the submission...

Parental involvement in education is significant for children's schooling experience and their cognitive and academic development. It also plays a role in refugee children's success and integration in the host country. However, understanding refugee parents’ educational involvement can be a complex issue because of their different cultural beliefs and unique challenges as refugees. Drawing on 20 in-depth interviews with Syrian parents in Turkey, this study examines how they are involved in...
