The aim of this study was to quantify the spatial coverage of Southeastern forest reserves in Nigeria toward strengthening Nigeria’s capacity on monitoring, reporting, and verification mechanism of the Reducing Emission from Deforestation and forest Degradation (REDD+) Framework. Hence, three (3) open-source geospatial datasets were systematically analyzed. The result indicates that, about five (5) percent of the total landmass in Southeastern Nigeria is currently designated as forest reserves. The forty-seven (47) forests reserves identified in the study area account for a total of 1,335.42 km2 out of the entire 28,987 km2 landmass of the Southeast geopolitical zone. In conclusion, the current value of forestland under conservation within Southeastern Nigeria is 82% short of attaining the Food and Agriculture Organization’s prescribed 25% forest cover threshold by a margin of 5,911 km2. Therefore, for Nigeria to adequately achieve the FAO’s recommended target, every state government in the country should consistently maintain the exact 25% forest cover FAO’s threshold. As a next research line, assessment of aboveground biomass (AGB) within Nigeria’s Southeastern tropical forest reserves with open-source geospatial data, is hereby, recommended.","PeriodicalId":44819,"journal":{"name":"African Geographical Review","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2022-01-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44424416","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this research, a mixed method research design was adopted to enhance the quality, complementarity, and expansion of results. Data were gathered using questionnaires, interviews and field observations. Questionnaires were distributed to 200 household heads in Mberengwa and 120 households selected in Zvishavane Districts using convenience sampling technique. Key informants interviewed included Lutheran Development Services representative, Rural District Council representative, District Crop and Livestock Officer (DCLO). The acquired qualitative data were subjected to content analysis while quantitative data was analyzed using SPSS version 23.0. The study findings show that Villages Savings and Lending, water harvesting, community horticultural gardens, apiculture, climate smart agriculture were some of the initiatives contributing to resilience building. These resilience building interventions contributed toward the attainment of Sustainable Development Goals 1; ending hunger, 2; zero hunger; and 13 climate action. The study recommends that the government, through the relevant ministry should ensure resilience building initiatives are included in their five-year plan, so that they have adequate and realistic implementation time frames.","PeriodicalId":44819,"journal":{"name":"African Geographical Review","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2022-01-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47723301","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is increasingly clear that mistrust in public health recommendation affects efforts to slowdown the spread of COVID-19 in many countries. The objective of this study is to identify perceived drivers of mistrust in public health responses to COVID-19 in Ghana, using concept mapping with a range of local stakeholders (n = 21). The study was conducted between July and August 2020. Fifty-two items describing factors that influence mistrust in COVID-19 response were identified across eight themes. Out of eight clusters that emerged, participants rated weak health system, distrust in politicians and state institutions, and politicization of response measures as the most important and prevalent drivers of mistrust . The results show that the old narrative of cultural beliefs and illiteracy is not sufficient for understanding mistrust in public health programs during epidemics in SSA, at least in the case of COVID-19 in Ghana. This study demonstrates the need for global health practitioners to pay attention to structural forces and political relations in order to paint a fuller picture of mistrust during epidemics and pandemics.","PeriodicalId":44819,"journal":{"name":"African Geographical Review","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2021-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44175294","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
