Resource Mobilization is a global phenomenon in the Covid-19 era with Empowerment Projects as a solution kit for Youth’s unemployment through development of a robust ICT Technology centres and Innovation hubs to mentor Youth’s into economic value chain in the society. Ideally, study seeks to demonstrate how Resource Mobilization in Covid-19 era influences Youth’s Empowerment Projects in Busia County, Kenya. The study was double-helix of Motivation and Human need theories. Descriptively, Composite Mean was 1.90 with a standard deviation of 1.080 implied the performance of Youths’ Empowerment Projects in Busia County, Kenya had improved for the last one and a half years. The adjusted R2= .251for Social Responsibility, R2 = 0.214 for Business Mentorship projects and R2=.208 for Innovation hubs with predictive power of about 25.1%, 21.4% and 20.8% variations in the projects. The F- values for Social Responsibility, 15.017 with 0.05< p>0.496, the F-calculated for Business Mentorship, 15.219 with 0.05 < p>0.161 and finally the F-calculated for Innovation hubs was 16.470 with 0.05< p> 0, indicated a statistical significant relationship between Social Responsibility, Business Mentorship and Innovation hubs in Covid-19 era and Youths’ Empowerment Projects. The variable was significant since p> 0.05; hence, alternative hypothesis presumed statistical significant influence between Resource Mobilization in Covid-19 era and Youth’s empowerment projects, was accepted. The study recommends adoption of social responsibility, Business mentorship and innovation hubs as a platform for resource mobilization in Busia County, Kenya.

Local communities are conscious of changing climatic conditions, the main variables, and their impacts on human livelihood requirements. This study describes the local community members’ perception of rainfall scarcity and its impact on water and food resources. Semi-structured interviews with a sample of 150 participants produced data about the perceptions of rainfall scarcity, its main variables and the impacts on water and food resources. The health impacts of poor status water resources and poor production of subsistence crops involve lack of reliable water provision for household consumption, and malnutrition and poverty as a result of subsistence crop production. A major recommendation from the study is an exploration of coping, adapting, and building the resilience capacities of local communities towards the impacts of climate change on water and food resources.

The present study refers to the identification of priorities for managers in several small companies in Romania, in the current context. All of them have trade as their main activity, they have a small turnover, leading us to the so-called family business. The analyzed period is between September 2020 and January 2021, a period influenced by certain factors, such as: Romania was on „alert” throughout all the country, there were certain restrictions, schools were held online, there were holidays winter, parliamentary elections that took place, it was the cold season too and the vaccination campaign began on December 26, 2020.

In order to obtain safe and high quality dairy products, fermented dairy processors implement and maintain procedures based on HACCP principles, which are based on a systemic approach to risks and corrective measures to eliminate any potential risk associated with food safety. The aim of this study was to use tools to analyze hazard, risk assessment and determine critical control points during the production process of buttermilk with mushrooms as an innovative product. The safety control system for fermented dairy products based on HACCP concepts, involves a systemic approach to risks and corrective measures to eliminate any potential risk associated with food safety.

This study aims at promoting an analysis of the process of technology transfer undertaken by Federal University of Paraná (UFPR), by means of the activities developed in the Genetic Improvement Program of Sugar Cane for the development of new technologies, new varieties of sugar cane. To do so, a single case study performed at the UFPR is held, aiming at identifying the main aspects that involve this process from the point of view of an institution. It was possible to notice that it creates a stimulus to the development of knowledge about a particular variety of the sugar cane plant by means of the interaction between the ten universities and also with its partners, in order to develop a variety more genetically developed that allows, for example, increased productivity. The technology transfer in the course of the process allows the development of several new varieties of sugar cane, in addition to providing expertise to members of the project. It is of fundamental importance for the activities and varieties to be carried out in a better way every time.

The European Green Deal has re-ignited the imperative of green finance that is called to support the European Union transition to a greener economy. Green finance becomes even more opportune in the context of the economic recovery after the COVID-19 pandemic. The aim of the paper is to explore green banking practices in the Romanian banking system. The investigation reveals the efforts of banks to be environmentally friendly and to be involved in financing of some green projects, such as the energy efficient projects. Nevertheless, the green banking products are still in the emerging stage and banks in Romania should develop their role in the field, by diversifying the range of green products and services, improving the expertise to assess green projects or intensifying the marketing initiatives to promote green products. In order to encourage banks in Romania to provide green financing several incentives should be conceived; similar to banks, the borrowers seeking green projects should be rewarded. Some mandatory requirements for banks to be involved in green investments may promote green banking in Romania. An essential condition to achieve the development of green banking in Romania is to increase awareness towards environmentally friendly behaviour at all levels.
