: This paper examines the ripple effects of flooding on the roles and economic activities of women in Isoko-Nation, flood-prone areas that exhibit low-lying plain that resides on the coaster region of Delta State. The region attracts high population due to flooding fluvial deposits on the flood plains that serve as fertilizer to boost agricultural activities of the people. Consequent upon this, the socioeconomic development of the region is facing reversing years of progress, socially and economically in response to the rippling effects thus crippling effective and sustainable role of the women. The situation is worsened by lack of infrastructural facilities to encourage alternative income earning activities. And the dearth of the women socio-economic status means the dearth of socio-economic development of the region therefore the need to severe the women from the rippling flood effects is vital to the sustainable development of the region. Therefore the paper discussed the implications of the downgrading and reversed economic activities of the women on the sustainable development in the region and noted that though the annual flooding occurrence in the region cannot be completely eliminated however the associated disasters can be mitigated and the rippling effects reduced. The paper recommends that a proper understanding of the season and dynamic climatic trends of the region will create conscious knowledge on the mitigation strategies to reduce the unprecedented effect of incessant flooding and ginger the effort of the government to fulfill its commitment of improving the quality of lives and standard of living in Isoko-nation. The study substantiate that provision of infrastructure would energize the women whose socio-economic status is on the decline to embrace alternative source of income that would revive their hope and faith in the economy of the region.

: The study aims to contribute to the scholarship on the performance of organisations belonging to public RDI and identify its relationship to the strategic management instruments applied by the main actors involved in management and execution processes. The analysed operating instruments comprise processes, methods and operating procedures in a written form and whose content has been established by an issuing body, and which are available for all organizational levels. We will outline the specific aspects found in the evaluation rankings, as well as the measures adopted for increasing scientific performance. The assessment of the national research, development and innovation system, and of the Romanian Academy regarding the applicable operating instruments enabled us to draw a set of conclusions that we hope will be appreciated positively. This paper contributes to the organisational management literature by investigating the elements of strategic planning and management of public RDI in Romania and by studying how they are connected to the achieved performance.

: Resettlement programme has become an integral part of the national economic and social development programme in Ethiopia.Villagization has been considered as one of the key and quickest ways to achieve food security in a short and medium-terms and socio-economic development in the long run and the Ethiopian government considers villagization as a final strategy to transform the life of pastoralists. The purpose of this study was to examine the extent to which villagization programme in Afar Regional State has helped in transforming the socio-economic life of pastoralist communities. The study used explanatory research designs. Data for this study were collected through qualitative methods like informant interviews, observation, focus group discussions and document analysis. Ninety-six participants were interviewed and eight focus group discussions were conducted. The qualitative dataset was thematically analyzed through deductive identification of themes. The central argument of this study is that villagization programme in Afar Regional State didn't not achieved its intended purpose, improving the living conditions of pastoralist communities due tofailure of the government to fulfill the necessary inputs and services, pastoralists' and regional leaders' negative attitude towards the programme and absence of proper organizational structure of the unit responsible to follow up and coordinate the implementation of villagization programme.The researcher recommended that the government has to fulfill the necessary inputs and infrastructures; sufficient awareness has to be created among the community to get their consent and to make the programme meet its purpose.

: Over the past decade, thousands of South Africans have taken to the streets in violent protest over the fact that over 70% of the country's municipalities are unable to provide services to their residents. Only by recognising the negative effects of service delivery and proposing solutions to these problems can development in rural areas with periodic crises be sustained. The goal of this research is to identify the causes of subpar service in a KwaZulu-Natal municipality (Municipality Y) and propose solutions to the problems identified. For ethical reasons, the municipality’s name has been hidden. Qualitative techniques, including in-depth interviews and purposive sampling, were used to compile the data for this analysis. The 15 interviewees were 11 local council members, and 4 traditional leaders. Lack of public participation, political intervention in administration, a breakdown in lines of communication with the local population, and the inability of top officials to see out their full terms are all factors found to have a negative impact on service delivery. The study suggests several measures to reduce corruption, including the hiring of more qualified individuals for financial positions, the implementation of ethical supply chain management policies, enhanced channels of communication and openness with local communities, and closer ties with law enforcement.

: This study focused on the role of the informal sector in unemployment reduction in Delta State vis-a-vis Ethiope East local government area. Unemployment has been a hydra problem in the country, and the youths happen to be the most vulnerable cum volatile among the population of the country. In that regard, there have been incessant calls by various top government functionaries, economic experts, international organizations, bureaucrats, and academics, for a diversification of the economy but to no avail. One sector that has not been given full support by the Nigerian government is the informal sector. Failure to focus on this sector and at least put in some measures so as to ensure that development occurs in this sector of the economy, has to some extent been responsible for chronic unemployment in the state. In ensuring that objectives of this research are attained, the secondary data were resorted to in the research. The Keynesian unemployment theory guided our work. This theory is known as the cyclical or deficient-demand unemployment. It is of the view that, unemployment happens when there are not enough aggregate demand in the economy to provide job for everyone who wishes to work. The following findings were obtained: that failure to encourage small and medium scale enterprises, skill acquisition and what have you, is a cause of rise in unemployment rate. That the informal sector development is a veritable source of employment for the unemployed in the country, as it gives these persons some level of leverage. That failure to industrialize the economy and create room for economic diversification is to some extent responsible for Nigeria's unemployment brouhaha. That unemployment in Nigeria has continued to be on the increase despite the abundant human and natural resources available in the country. In conclusion, the following recommendations were suggested: that there should be the introduction of a progressive tax system in the country stemming from the Federal down to local government areas. That the mode of production in the country should be transformed from the primitive, subsistence cum crude form, to the production of manufacturing as well as, finished products.
