Women food crop farmers continue to experience high postharvest losses, food insecurity, increased poverty and low family nutrition. They increasingly remain vulnerable to climate change compared to men because of their gender which limit their access to social and economic resources. Consequently, agriculture which is a traditional mainstay for women and reliable recourse to livelihood is jeopardized. Meanwhile government’s effort has been loudly minimal. To mitigate impacts of climate change, women inspite of limited education and income have taken the front line, adopting local techniques through group action. Specifically, women anticipate or update their expectation of the climate in response to unusual weather patterns by altering agricultural calendars, applying manure and farming in marshy areas. These adaptation strategies have not restored agricultural reputation. Family nutritional intake and women’s income remain low. This paper examines the challenges of climate change on food production and local adaptation mechanisms by women food producers in Cameroon. 100 women farmers in three quarters of Muyuka were randomly selected for this study which adopted a descriptive design. Questionnaires, interviews and focus group discussions were used to elicit valid responses which were analysed both quantitatively and qualitatively.

A constructivist lived experience perspective underpinned this research, in which multiple case studies were used to interact with the participants on inclusion, stigma and self-acceptance of vulnerable and disadvantaged learners from an inclusive education in Chinhoyi Urban. Purposive sampling was used to select 6 participants (3 males and 3 females). Data were collected through face-to-face interviews and transcribed verbatim. Four themes emerged from the thematic analysis of data sources. It was found out that participants were facing stigmatic problems and reported low levels of self-esteem, poor self-acceptance, low level of self-worth and a decline was noted in their self-goodness. The findings of this study should enable inclusive education policy makers and researchers to better understand stigmatic issues in inclusive education settings and its effects on the self-acceptance of vulnerable and disadvantaged learners learning in inclusive education setting.

In this way underdeveloped and deprived areas come into the road map of new era of holistic development. In the current study, the local community perception towards the socio-economic impact of CPEC projects was examined in different regions of Gilgit Baltistan (GB). The primary data was collected from three main divisions of GB i.e. Gilgit, Skardu and Hunza and samples of one hundred and twenty respondents were interviewed. The data from the above regions were collected and was analysed using N-vivo software for thematic analysis, with the aim to present the perception of local people regarding the ongoing projects of CPEC. The study consists of socio-economic indicators with qualitative in nature and its various dimensions including education, tourism, businesses, constitutional rights and their living standard. According to the study findings, it is obvious that CPEC is having a beneficial impact on socio-economic condition of the GB. By having new opportunities to the local people of GB in various aspects i.e. economic, political and social, this would help them for their sustainable development and capacity building.

Time series data were sourced from secondary sources on unemployment rate (UNE) a proxy for employment generation, Government Expenditure on Education (EDU), Government expenditure on Health (HTH) and Government on Other Social and Community Services (COM). The data sets were analyzed based on the Dynamic OLS proposed by Stock-Watson (1993) technique of analysis to estimate the model. The result of the analysis reveals that Government Expenditure on Education (EDU) is rightly signed and is statistically significant while Government Expenditure on Health (HTH) and Government Expenditure on Other Social and Community services (COM) were wrongly signed and are statistically significant at 5 percent level. This implies that Government Expenditure on Health (HTH) and Government Expenditure on Other Social and Community services (COM) have not generated employment in Nigeria within the period under review. Based on these findings, the study recommends that government should encourage the education and health sectors through increased funding, as well as ensuring that the resources are properly managed and used for the development of education and health services. Lastly, government should increase its funding of anti-graft or anti-corruption agencies like the Economic and Financial Crime Commission (EFCC), and the Independent Corrupt Practices Commission (ICPC) in order to arrest and penalize those who divert and embezzle public funds.
