Abstract:

On the African continent, climate change severely challenges agriculture and livestock. Agriculture in many African countries is stuck at the rain-fed stage due to a lack of irrigation technology, so reduced rainfall and frequent droughts in recent years have drastically reduced crop yield. A similar problem also happens to animal husbandry, which shrinks the quantity and quality of livestock. Since agriculture and livestock are the primary sources of income in most African nations, many Africans are also suffering from a severe economic crisis. Poverty and food insecurity in Africa still cann

Abstract:

The New Partnership for African Development (NEPAD) has identified agriculture as a key development priority and a way to decrease the continent’s dependence on food imports and make a dent on poverty. African Union ministers of Agriculture who convened in Abuja, Nigeria 12 June, 2006 for the African Fertilizer Summit declared that Africa needs a Green Revolution to take the continent out of the poverty trap by achieving food security and other Millenium Development Goals (DGs). A minimum annual growth of 6 % in the sector was adopted. This will be achieved through the Comprehensive African Ag

Abstract:

African Union has hope for a vision of an Africa that is thriving by 2063 (UNDP Africa, 2017). Historically Africa was under the gaze and submissive to the imaginings of western vision. Africans as drivers of development prove to be difficult as global coloniality continues to shape inclusivity, autonomy, and spatial activities. Reimagining the future of cities is aligned with the way global coloniality unpacks how modernisation takes place. Decoloniality becomes important in that it gives Africans the space to think about autonomy to plan how can issues of inclusivity be addressed in the cont

Abstract:

The awareness level of contemporary African scholars of the inescapability of the truly African renaissance, on what is truly African, has begun to gain cogency among thinkers of different backgrounds within and beyond the shores of the continent. This renaissance in all spheres of life of Africans, albeit for the world to know that Africanness  is not identical with dullness of the intellect, rediscovers and repositions the new Africa as one that is mentally liberated from the incarcerative influences of western thought system. This revival portends a total and absolute abandonment of Af

Abstract:

Language is generally not perceived as playing a significant role in the causes of underdevelopment in Africa, and therefore not thought of or mentioned in trying to work out solutions to this situation. The absence of linguistic input in development planning in Africa is one of the key reasons why the majority of the African people are left “on the edge of road.” This paper argues for a language sensitive and linguistically informed approach to technology transfer and development problems.

Abstract During the 1970s and 1980s, American and European investigators discovered evidence of such African scientific achievements as the following: (1) the domestication of assorted plants in The Egyptian Nile Valley ca. 18000 BP; and domesticated cattle in the Kenyan Highlands, ca, 15000 BP. These were achieved thousands of years before plant and animal domestication in South west Asia, the hitherto presumed place where domestication first occurred; and (2) the making of Carbon steel in Tanzania, in the 1st c.

Abstract:

The use of Afrocentricity as a contemporary theoretical lens has triggered remarkable debate among African scholars. There is growing contestation among African intellectuals on the future of knowledge construction in the wake of the collapse of colonization in Africa. The contestation on the applicability of the Afrocentricity as a theory is largely triggered by the assumed superiority of Western thought. One of the major proponents of Afrocentricity Melefe Kete Asante has prompted an interesting question ‘Why have Africans been shut out of global development?’ The question attracts the need

The 1996 Constitution of South Africa includes the right of every South African to freedom and security. It is the government’s responsibility to guarantee that national security is maintained and that residents within the limits of South African borders are protected.

Poor border management and unregulated migration jeopardise national security and endanger residents’ freedom and security.

The Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade, which occurred between the fifteenth and nineteenth centuries, displaced Africans and people of African descent into the New World. The trade affected and influenced several aspects of the world economy, boosting the economies of participating countries and creating what would become the African diaspora. While several elements of the trade have gained recognition in scholarship, ships, as the single most important medium of transportation for African slaves, have received little attention.

However, such studies failed to examine whether real per capita income influences the effect of ICT on income level and whether the effect of ICT on income level differs among regions of African countries. This study, therefore, investigated

Abstract:

The European (Victorian) missionary influence on traditional African music in South Africa is largely seen in a negative light and not much focus is placed on possible positive implications. This article therefore serves to explore how external European influences, harnessed by some African musicians, partially aided in preserving and generating conceivably ‘new’ Euro-African hybrid traditional music genres – while at the same time preserving some fragmented forms of indigenous music knowledge for future generations. In general, the ultimate aim for the European missionaries was to allow Afric

Abstract:

The technology development process for the public sector in the transportation industry in South Africa became fragmented as a result of a short-term view with a lack of strategic focus. The subsequent perceived poor performance of the technology development program and inadequate implementation of results motivated the development of a new model for technology development—utilizing a holistic, systems approach at the strategic level with supporting techniques and basic information. The conceptual development of the new technology development model implemented in South Africa is discussed and

Abstract:

Improving carbon efficiency and mitigating carbon emissions is fundamental to sustainable development and the well-being of human society. Yet, no study highlighted and identified the drivers of carbon efficiency in Africa. Specifically, an empirical study on the role of technological innovation (GTI), digitalization, and digital inclusive finance (DIF) in improving carbon efficiency (CEE) in Africa is rare. To fill this gap, this study investigates the synergistic impact of green technological innovation (GTI), digitalization, and digital inclusive finance (DIF) on improving carbon efficiency

Abstract:

In this paper, I shall dispute the widely held belief that all effective sanctions would greatly hurt poor South African blacks. Rather, it is likely that bans on exports of high technology to South Africa and imports of South African gold and diamonds would cause labor-intensive sectors to expand, thereby limiting the impact of a general recession on unskilled nonwhites. Still, several types of sanctions, such as those on oil, would have a severe impact on poor nonwhites. In addition, forced divestment would result in windfall capital gains for white South Africans; such gains would not be re

This article proposes the notion of soulcraft as an alternative framing for the work that Africans and African diasporans imbue upon material culture and social projects. Through ethnographic encounters with the practitioners of Chicago Footwork and Afrobeats dance music, the author theorizes a Black vernacular approach to the concept of techne. This essay contributes to discourse in the philosophy of technology to document spirituality in viral dance practices and forms of digital embodiment, linking them to metaphysical understandings of “soul” in African and African American philosophical t

This paper undertakes a desktop examination of innovation policy and governance in Africa. The article therefore adds on to the importance of intra-African region innovation policy dialogue by exploring policy developments in the African region. The article identifies a weak and fragmented innovation system as a major challenge facing many of the African countries, exacerbated by the lack of an explicit innovation strategy. The literature indicates that Science, Technology and Innovation (STI) policies should not simply adopt a science-push approach to innovation, but rather focus on building

Hidden histories are pervasive globally, particularly since the advent of 'history from below' as social history in the 1960s.

His most recent studies, both published in 2020, Safari Nation: A Social History of the Kruger National Park and The Terrorist Album: Apartheid's Insurgents, Collaborators, and the Security Police, are a remarkable contribution to this practice, indicating the purchase it has in developing and improving South African historiography.
