The study adopted the cross-sectional research survey design. Primary data was generated through structured questionnaire. The population, which also served as the sample size, for this study was sixty-three fashion entrepreneurs, fashion bloggers, fashion enthusiasts, fashion industry experts and clients of fashion outlets with social media presence in Nigeria. The reliability of the instrument was achieved by the use of the Cronbach Alpha Coefficient with all the items scoring above 0.70. The hypotheses were tested using the Spearman’s Rank Order Correlation Coefficient. The tests were carried out at a 0.05 significance level. The findings of the study indicate a positive and significant relationship between disruptive innovation and business growth (proxied by customer acquisition, brand presence and revenue growth) of fashion entrepreneurial start-ups in Nigeria. This suggests that fashion start-ups in Nigeria can leverage disruptive innovation strategies to foster growth, differentiate themselves in the market, and respond to evolving consumer demands. Therefore, the study recommends fashion start-ups should leverage technology-driven innovations to enhance business growth. This should involve adopting e-commerce platforms, mobile applications, and social media marketing strategies to reach and engage with a broader customer base. Utilizing data analytics and personalized marketing approaches can also help target and attract potential customers more effectively.

The objectives were to examine the relationship between cultural factors and entrepreneurial intentions, identify specific cultural factors contributing to entrepreneurial intentions, and explore the mechanisms through which cultural factors influence entrepreneurial intentions. The study employed an exploratory research design and utilized qualitative analysis and content analysis of previous literature. The findings revealed that cultural dimensions such as collectivism, risk aversion, and societal expectations significantly impact entrepreneurial intentions in Brazil. The strong emphasis on family and community in Brazilian culture shapes the prevalence of family businesses and community-oriented ventures. Moreover, cultural norms and uncertainty avoidance influence individuals' willingness to engage in entrepreneurship. These findings highlight the importance of considering cultural factors in fostering an entrepreneurial culture in Brazil.

The study’s purpose was to find out how monitoring and evaluation guidelines affect gender-based violence programs. It focused on three objectives, which are to assess: the contribution of the principle of safety to gender-based violence programs; the ethical principle's effect on the performance of such programs; and the influence of the honest feedback principle on gender-based violence programs. The research applied a descriptive research design, and interviews and questionnaires were used as research tools. The 154 respondents were selected from the target population of 250 using Slovin’s formula; 151 respondents were picked up using simple random sampling, and 3 were selected using purposive sampling. The collected results were analyzed using SPSS. Key findings of the study on the relationship between a dependent variable and the three independent variables showed that there is a strong correlation between monitoring and evaluation guiding principles and the performance of gender-based violence programs. The results obtained show that there is a statistically significant influence, as the P value was less than 0.05. Institutions involved in gender-based violence programs need to fully integrate monitoring and evaluation into gender-based violence program conceptualization and design, as well as invest resources in public engagement and training of staff involved in program monitoring and evaluation.
