Access and use of information and communication technology goods may increase or decrease inequality between countries. The purpose of this study is to investigate the factors affecting the Gini coefficient of OECD countries using the spatial econometric method in the period from 2010 to 2020. The results showed that according to Moran's test, spatial dependence was confirmed in all spatial patterns, and it was found that the proximity of countries has a positive effect on one another. The optimal model was selected based on the diagnostic statistics of Moran, Jerry and Jetis, Lmerror-robust and Lmlag-robust, using spatial autoregression. The results of the spatial autoregression model showed that the penetration rate of Internet and fixed telephone in the studied countries has a negative and significant relationship with the Gini coefficient. The number of mobile phones has a positive and significant relationship with the Gini coefficient of OECD countries. In this regard, it is recommended that policymakers make decisions considering the effects of spatial spillovers in OECD countries, and regional planning should be conducted within OECD countries to promote ICT, particularly the penetration of the Internet and landline phones.

This study seeks to understand the reasons Singapore attracted far more Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) than Sierra Leone. The choice of these two countries is based on their historical similarities. Both Sierra Leone and Singapore were under British rule from the nineteenth century to the 1960s. Both countries gained their independence in the early 1960s. The countries share the same colonial heritage and therefore gained their colonial master’s system of government, legal framework, and economic systems. At independence, both countries had similar population size, as well as economies size. Sierra Leone’s population was 2.2m and Singapore’s was 1.6m in 1961. Between 1961 and1965, both countries held similar GDPs and their colonial master (United Kingdom) was their major trading partner. Using data from the World Bank Doing Business and the World Enterprise Survey for Sierra Leone and Singapore, the study finds that Singapore has attracted more FDI than Sierra Leone because of the ...

Background Lesotho's government has shown consistent efforts to implement social protection programmes. However, while recent evidence established a positive causal relationship between some of these programmes and food security there is little evidence on the extent to which these initiatives are associated with better educational and sexual and reproductive health outcomes among vulnerable adolescents in Lesotho. Methods and Findings The study uses cross-sectional, nationally representative data from the 2018 Lesotho Violence Against Children and Youth Survey. Our research examined the association between social protection receipt and educational and sexual and reproductive health outcomes among adolescents and young people (13-24 years) living in poverty. We employed multivariate logistic regression controlling for age, orphanhood, HIV status and sex. Social protection receipt was defined as household receipt of financial support from a governmental, nongovernmental, or community-based program that provides income. Additionally, we fitted a marginal effects model by sex. Among the 3,506 adolescent females and males living in the two lowest poverty quintiles, receipt of social protection was associated with improvements in multiple adolescent outcomes: higher odds of consistent condom use (aOR 1.64, 95% CI 1.17-2.29), educational attainment (aOR 1.79, 95% CI 1.36-2.36), and school enrolment (aOR 2.19, 95% CI 1.44-3.34). Stratified analyses by sex showed that social protection receipt was also associated with reduced likelihood of child marriage among females (aOR 0.59, 95% CI 0.42-0.83) and higher odds of educational attainment and school enrolment among males (aOR 2.53, 95% CI 1.59-4.03 and aOR 3.11, 95% CI 1.56-6.19, respectively).

Financial literacy is widely recognized as a crucial life skill, with individuals in developed countries expected to attain a desirable level of financial competence. This significance is reflected in the fact that more than 60 countries have developed national policies and strategies to promote financial literacy, incorporating specific programs into their agendas. Iran is no exception. Enhancing financial literacy is particularly important given the country's distinct economic, social, political, and cultural conditions. Improving individuals' financial awareness, knowledge, and skills reduces financial errors, strengthens sound financial decision-making, boosts confidence, and aids in achieving financial security and well-being. Furthermore, it can contribute to macroeconomic and social improvements, ensure economic stability, and foster greater public alignment with financial and economic policies. Therefore, it is essential to integrate this issue into the agendas of higher level policymaking institutions and develop policies to promote financial literacy that are tailored to Iran's unique Islamic-Iranian culture

Agricultural development has been a major concern to most developing countries within the last two decades. It represents a cluster of six related but separate concepts: agricultural expansion, increased production per acre of cropped land or per head of livestock, agricultural growth, a situation characterized with agricultural products per agricultural worker, rising income per person employed and agricultural transformation. Agriculture is considered the mainstay of economy in most of the African countries and Kenya in particular,

Strategic impact assessment (SIA), also known as strategic environmental assessment (SEA), is a systematic approach to decision-making that considers the dimensions of a green economy transformation for sustainable development. Although, Namibia has made significant strides to attain the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN-SDGs) 5, 13 and 15 i.e. gender equality, climate action and life on land respectively, the country seems to be struggling to meet the other aspects of the SDG targets. The chapter reviews relevant documents and analyzes results to identify the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats of the current impact assessment methodologies, in the context of the UN-SDGs. Followed by a qualitative research approach, utilizing a case study design and purposive sampling technique. The target population comprised personnel from the National Environmental Affairs, Development Planning Commission, and Lands and Resettlement Authority in Namibia, key exploration of stakeholders in SEA administration. Data collection involved conducting in-depth interviews with six officers, two from each institution, using semi-structured interview guide. The findings show that Namibia undertook a voluntary SEA between 2008 and 2013, although it is not yet a legal mandate. It is evident that the drivers of SEA legislation have the potential to a green economy transformation for sustainable development with 64.3% SDG index score and 89.7% spillover score in Namibia. The level of this SDG achievement indicates the country's commitment to SIA in land use and spatial planning policies, plans and programs for sustainable development. The research also identifies potential improvements and recommendations for a more robust impact assessment

Multidimensional poverty is one of the reasons rural women resort to informal activism strategies. In conjunction with the circumstances of rural women and the obstacles they face on a daily basis, it motivates them to advocate for political transformation and demand change. The women of Naqdi-ye Olya village in Meshkinshahr who were protesting opted for an informal approach to resolve their water concerns. This approach was influenced by their daily experiences of water transportation and the inefficiency of rural institutional mechanisms. The objective of this investigation is to study the influence of multidimensional poverty on the informal political activism strategies of rural women, with a particular
emphasis on the lived experiences of the women in Naqdi-ye Olya. Institutional ethnography serves as the theoretical framework, emphasizing marginalized communities’ lived experiences. Thematic analysis was employed to analyze the interview data. The findings
reveal that the protesting women obstructed the road from Ardabil to Meshkinshahr for the inadequacy of rural institutional mechanisms in addressing their water problem. The women’s awareness of their collective action power was raised, and the issue was transformed into a political matter because of the rapid response from officials and the dissemination of their protest video on social media. However, the water issue has persisted due to the transient nature of this informal solution and the incomplete responses from official.

Food insecurity remains a persistent global challenge, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa. However, the role of cash crops in influencing household food security continues to be debated. To address this gap, this study examines the impact of potato cash crop production on household food security in the Atsbi Wonberta District of Tigray Regional State, Ethiopia. A comprehensive survey of 173 households was conducted. The study employed a binary probit model to analyze factors influencing farmers' participation in potato production and used propensity score matching to assess the impact of this participation on food security. The results show that factors such as oxen ownership, educational attainment, access to irrigated land, and training opportunities were positively associated with farmers' involvement in potato production. Furthermore, participation in potato production significantly improved household income and food security. Based on these results, the study recommends the implementation of capacity-building initiatives, including targeted training programmes for smallholder farmers. In addition, governments and stakeholders should prioritise investment in rural infrastructure and irrigation development to increase the positive impact of potato production on household food security.

This study examines the attitudes of East Nusa Tenggara (NTT) civil servants toward the English Day Policy introduced in Governor Regulation No. 56 of 2018. The policy aligns with NTT’s focus on tourism development, emphasizing English proficiency as key to enhancing global competitiveness. Addressing a research gap, the study explores the sociolinguistic effects of promoting English in a multilingual, culturally rich region. Data was collected from 604 civil servants via an online questionnaire distributed through WhatsApp. The survey included seven Likert-scale statements and one open-ended question in Bahasa Indonesia. Using a mixed-method approach, the analysis combined quantitative data with qualitative sociolinguistic insights. Findings reveal generally positive attitudes toward the policy, with most respondents agreeing that English is crucial for tourism and acknowledging the policy’s benefits. They also dismissed concerns that the initiative could harm local languages or Bahasa Indonesia. However, participants noted limitations in implementing the language policy, highlighting that favorable attitude alone cannot ensure its success.

This paper presents a simplified method for regional competitiveness analysis, designed to enhance the understanding of economic disparities across regions. The proposed methodology organizes regions based on key economic indicators, focusing on competitiveness, and employs quartile-based classification to highlight regional homogeneity, relative positions, and internal disparities. By utilizing box-and-whisker plots, the method allows for a clear identification of outliers and the detection of significant gaps in competitiveness within well-defined regions. The approach combines interregional analysis using general economic indicators and intraregional evaluation with sub-indices, enabling a more nuanced understanding of regional dynamics. The methodology involves ranking states by competitiveness sub-indices, followed by the creation of graphical representations such as box plots to visualize regional patterns and potential outliers. The analysis proceeds from an interregional perspective, moving toward a more detailed intraregional examination. This step-by-step process reveals the regions leading in competitiveness and those requiring greater attention for development. In addition, the radial graph is suggested as a tool to further clarify the data, offering a clearer visualization of competitiveness disparities. To demonstrate the effectiveness of this method, a practical application is provided using the "Índice para la Competitividad Estatal 2024" from the Instituto Mexicano para la Competitividad A.C. (IMCO), which allows for a comprehensive assessment of Mexico's regions. The results showcase the regions with the highest competitiveness and those facing challenges, offering actionable insights for policymakers, regional planners, and researchers. This approach serves as a valuable tool in regional economic analysis, providing an accessible, data-driven framework for identifying key areas for intervention and investment.

Background: Voluntary counselling and testing (VCT) for HIV has proven to be an effective way to tackle the problem
of HIV/AIDS. Many however do not utilize these services for various reasons which acts as an impediment in the
delivery of the services. This study aimed to assess the knowledge, attitude and utilization of VCT-HIV services among
pregnant women and mothers in Bayelsa State.
Methods: This was a hospital-based, descriptive analytic study among 301 adult mothers attending the antenatal and
immunization clinics of the federal medical centre, Yenagoa, Bayelsa State. An interviewer-administered questionnaire
having 6 sections was used to elicit data of the mothers’ knowledge, attitude and utilization of VCT-HIV services at the
health facility as well as barriers affecting the utilization of the services. Descriptive and inferential analyses were
conducted and the level of significance was set at 0.05.
Results: The 59.1% of respondents had heard about VCT-HIV. Most had adequate knowledge 268 (89.0%) and good
attitude 270 (89.7%) towards VCT-HIV. About 197 (65.4%) had utilized VCT-HIV services in the past, and 241
(80.1%) were presently willing to use these services. Fear of knowing their HIV status, discrimination, family stigma,
among others, were factors hindering utilization of these services. Age, level of education, preferred place for delivery,
knowledge and attitude towards VCT-HIV were significantly associated with the uptake of these services.
Conclusions: there is the need for government to tackle issues of discrimination against HIV-infected persons as well
as sustain the delivery of maternal healthcare through the primary healthcare initiative.

En el mundo globalizado se reconoce a la empresa como el principal actor de actividad económic, y su impacto en el desarrollo de los países más pobres es cada vez más importante. Esto constituye para la empresa una responsabilidad a la vez que una importante fuente de oportunidades. La empresa tiene la posibilidad de hacer frente al reto de aprovechar estas oportunidades de una forma socialmente responsable, uniendo fuerzas con nuevos interlocutores como son ONG, Organizaciones de la Sociedad Civil, e incluso, las propias Administraciones Públicas, que, en este caso, pasarían a jugar un papel muy distinto al que es habitual (pasan de ser contratantes o reguladoras de la actividad económica para convertirse en socios necesarios) Hay muchas maneras de estructurar estas nuevas relaciones, y la generación de alianzas parece una de las más adecuadas. En la investigación presentada se realiza un estudio sobre las posibilidades que las Alianzas Público Privadas ofrecen para aunar esfuerzos de empresas y administraciones con el objetivo común de promover el Desarrollo en zonas empobrecidas del planeta. Palabras Clave: Responsabilidad Social Corporativa (RSC), Alianzas Público Privadas (APP), Cooperación para el Desarrollo.

Water supply networks are considered one of the country's critical infrastructures, providing the most essential needs for human life and industries. Any disruption in the performance of these networks, even for a short period, can lead to serious damage to the economy, security, or safety of the community. Therefore, protecting them against natural and man-made threats is of utmost importance. In this regard, the aim of this research is to present a specific and documented model and framework to identify and determine the bottlenecks of the urban water distribution network by prioritizing points in the distribution networks, prioritizing bottlenecks, determining the actual level of multiple points in the network, and ultimately assisting in the proper allocation of resources based on the determined priorities. This article addresses the identification of bottlenecks in the water distribution network based on quantitative and qualitative methods, with the quantitative part using Gephi software and the qualitative part using the AHP method, and weighting through interviews with experts and specialists in Expert Choice software to the presented indices and criteria. Methodologically, this research is of an applied type, and the information collection method has been conducted using library resources and interviews. The results showed that among the 67 zones in the city's water distribution network, seven of them are critical and their importance in the distribution network is bottlenecked, requiring attention and appropriate defensive decisions to reduce vulnerability and increase resilience against hazards.
