Even though community policing elements such as community problem solving have been mentioned as a possible factor influencing monitoring and evaluation of community safety, there is limited research to ascertain this in Lamu West Sub County. The purpose of this study was to establish the effect of community problem solving on evaluation of community safety in Lamu West Sub-County. The study adopted quantitative design where data was collected from a sample of 405 respondents drawn from 32,873 of Lamu West Sub-County residents with the aid of a questionnaire. Correlation and regression analyses were adopted in data analysis to help in establishing the relationship between the dependent and independent variables. The findings of this study demonstrated that there was statistically significant positive relationship between community problem solving and monitoring and evaluating community safety (β=0.634; p<0.05). The study found that aspects such as consultation, participation, engagement, professionalism, problem identification, proactive problem solving and mediation improves community safety. It is recommended that community problem solving should be strengthened because it builds trust, enhances information flow, and leads to the discovery of new areas where the police and the community may work together. Finally, community leadership should be people centered in order to enhance accountability that seeks to promote community safety. The study concluded that community problem solving significantly influence monitoring and evaluating community safety The study recommends that effective collaborations between law enforcement and community stakeholders are critical to public safety, and its critical that government agencies, community organizations, nonprofits, companies, and private citizens all see public safety as a shared duty. Community leadership should be people centered in order to enhance accountability that seeks to promote community safety.

Non-profit organizations rely on effective financial management that enables the leadership and the workforce to use the funds to the advantage of the population in need. Since non-profit organizations cannot generate substantial revenues without the support of the government, individual donors, and/or the community, all resources must be allocated and distributed to achieve benefits and outweigh the costs. In other words, the budget of the proposed program on domestic violence must address all needs and meet social outcomes to undergo substantial improvements, such as decreased time in jail and reduced number of domestic crimes. For example, creating a domestic violence program should focus on providing education to prevent people from resorting to violence in domestic conflict resolution. It is anticipated that the program would help the community to witness a decrease in violent domestic crimes and time in jail for domestic violence-related crimes.

This study substantiates the role of public distribution system in food security by evaluating the expansion of the state-run food aid program in the state of Odisha, India. Over the years, percentage of households’ consumption of rice, wheat and sugar from PDS has been increasing whereas there has been a decrease in consumption of kerosene from 2009-10 to 2011-12. Comparisons of rural and urban households of Odisha, show that rural households hold a major share in PDS consumption of all items except for wheat. Also, majority of the rural households possess ration cards whereas majority of the urban population do not possess. In rural Odisha, calorie intake has seen moderate improvement from 1995 calories per capita in 1972-73 to 2116 calories per capita in 2011-12. Intake of fat has also increased significantly from 8 per cent to 24 per cent during the same period whereas protein intake has remained stagnant. Thus, provision of pulses and protein-rich foods through PDS can improve the situation. The overall study suggests that the PDS has positively impacted the households food security in the region, however, it does not entirely meet the adequate calorie requirements.

Motorcycles are a popular mode of transportation in developing countries such as Kenya because they are relatively affordable, convenient for short distances and poor roads, and efficient for navigating heavy traffic in many developing cities. Despite these benefits, motorcycles are involved in a substantial number of road traffic crashes and injuries. Research on the role of training in enhancing the sector in Nairobi County is, however, scanty. The objective of the study was the effect of training on the sustainability of motorcycle taxi businesses in Nairobi County. The study was conducted among motorcycle taxi operators. The descriptive research design was adopted. A sample of 249 motorcycle taxi operators in Nairobi County was selected using a systematic random sampling technique. Data was collected using questionnaires. Before data collection, piloting, instrument reliability, and validity, a pilot study was conducted. Data were computed for descriptive statistics (frequencies, means, and percentages) and inferential statistics such as Pearson correlations and Regression analysis. The findings were presented using tables, graphs, and charts. The findings of the study revealed that training had a significant influence on the sustainability of Motorcycle Taxi Businesses in Nairobi County, Kenya. It was also found, most of the operators are trained in road safety, and they apply the skills during their daily operations to a fair extent. Following this, the study recommended that Training should be provided to motorcycle taxi operators on entrepreneurship skills to operators of motorcycle taxi is highly required. Some motorcycle taxi operators who generate sufficient income should be equipped with relevant knowledge of entrepreneurship. Driving schools in the collaboration with the NTSA need to come up with a friendly payment plan for driving school fees that is affordable. The national government through the relevant authorities such as NTSA should come up with a user-friendly curriculum, especially for the persons who have a lower education background KEYWORDS: Technological Development, Motorcycle Business, Motorcycle Operators

The paper examined the effects of working environment on the performance of Village Executive Officers in rural areas in Tanzania specifically at Kalambo District Council in Rukwa Region in Tanzania, in terms of performance indicators which are availability, creativity, productivity, commitment and participation. The specific objectives were to assess VEOs working environment in rural areas, to determine the relationship between working environment and VEOs performance level and to identify measures for improving working environment for VEOs better performance. A cross-sectional survey study was conducted in four wards in the council, namely Kalalela, Katete, Mkowe and Katapuro. 39 Village Executive Officers were involved as respondents in the study. Data was collected from the primary source through interview guided by questionnaires and secondary sources through documentary review. The main variables in the questionnaire were socio- demographic characteristics (sex, age, marital status, education level and working experience), office building space, presence of privacy, availability of working tools. Analysis of data was done by using SPSS version 20 and presented in narrative and statistical ways where in narrative, sentences and paragraphs were used while in statistical form tables were used. The result revealed that the working environment elements have a significant effect on the performance of Village Executive Officers. These elements are presence of good quality office building, presence of standard houses to live and availability of working tools. The study concluded and that, the working environment has effects on the performance level of employees whereby absence of good quality office building, absence of houses, absence of transport facilities and absence of working equipment affect the performance of the VEO’s, so Kalambo District Council authority should provide good working environment to its employees, so as to enable them to perform better.
