The alternative to the traditional debt relief processes for Zimbabwe

The alternative to the traditional debt relief processes for Zimbabwe

erlassjahr.de –

For the last decade the Zimbabwean government has been in default on most of its debt, currently estimated to be around 7 to 9 billion US Dollar. It is not the first and will not be the last country in the world to default on external debt. Europe today shows that northern industrial countries can also become unable to meet all their debt service payments. Other more recent examples may include Cote d’Ivoire in February 2010 or Jamaica in 2010. Sovereign debt defaults have been normal phenomena more...

Resource governance and conflict in the Niger Delta

Resource governance and conflict in the Niger Delta

academicjournals.org –

The study, using a coalescence of theoretical explications for understanding the resource-conflict thesis, notes that misgovernance by Nigeria as a major stakeholder and one of the most endowed countries in the region negatively affects the wider Gulf of Guinea region; this negativity is manifested in the now-seeming intractable conflict in the region, and thus makes a case for a thorough understanding of the implications for both Nigeria and the wider Gulf of Guinea region in order to resolve more...

Combating Cyber Crime in Sub-Sahara Africa

Combating Cyber Crime in Sub-Sahara Africa

interesjournals.org –

Prior to the arrival of ICTs in Sub Sahara Africa (SSA), Africa was seen as the Dark Continent. The development of ICTs was therefore expected to connect Africa to the rest of the world, and establish it as part of the Global community. This endeavor exposed Africa to the unintended consequences of the Internet (cybercrime).This study sought to address that question by examining three principal issues: First, it identified the various stakeholders involved in the fight against cybercrime in SSA more...

Child labor, schooling and household wealth in African rural area

Child labor, schooling and household wealth in African rural area

This work uses MVPROBIT model and MICS surveys from rural areas of 8 sub- Saharan African countries to highlight the link between household wealth and child labor. It opposes “wealth paradox” approach of Bhalotra and Heady (2003) to “luxury axiom” approach of Basu and Van (1998). This analysis is based on the assumption of differences in the wealth’s effect according to the gender and the type of labor. The results suggest that heterogeneity among children (gender) and labor activities leads to more...
