While 13 years were positively significant, only 3 were negative. Increased LDS’s rainfall has reduced the EGS and LGS’s lengths, consequently distorting the timing of agriculturally important rainfall characteristics.","PeriodicalId":44819,"journal":{"name":"African Geographical Review","volume":"42 1","pages":"326 - 341"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2022-03-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42357417","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}

One of the priority actions is to collect and manage wastes effectively and efficiently. In this theoretical study, we give a global waste management outlook, examined Africa’s waste management outlook and the impact of improper waste management, and focus on the issues and priority actions for sustainable waste management in Uganda. Further, the paper put forward that first, we should design the public sector waste reduction framework, which currently exists in most societies including the United Nations Environment. Second, design the private sector waste reduction framework, which is currently lacking in most societies. And third, develop an overlapping mechanism that would generate a stronger and more productive collaboration between the public sector and the private sector. Finally, the study advances a sustainable inclusive waste management framework to operationalize the priority actions in managing wastes in informal settlements.","PeriodicalId":44819,"journal":{"name":"African Geographical Review","volume":"42 1","pages":"342 - 356"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2022-03-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45914300","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}

Some seek to gain recognition as world cities this way. The article identifies liveable environments with inclusive societies, events/mega-events, and iconic architecture as key components of such strategies. These thoughts are applied to Cape Town and Johannesburg. The former brands itself as an ‘opportunity city.’ It fits well into world city making through attraction as a place to live and work, and a related focus on the knowledge elite. Johannesburg, meanwhile, presents itself as the ‘gateway’ to Africa against the backdrop of infrastructures for communication, finance, and transport.","PeriodicalId":44819,"journal":{"name":"African Geographical Review","volume":"42 1","pages":"357 - 371"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2022-03-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48060634","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}

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":"42 1","pages":"232 - 248"},"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}

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.
