Title A name given to the resource AN EMPIRICAL EXAMINATION OF THE CORRELATION BETWEEN DERIVATIVES USAGE AND KEY FINANCIAL INDICATORS IN BOTSWANA Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource WILBERT KUDAKWASHE CHIDAUSHE TAVONGA NJAYA Description An account of the resource The study evaluated derivative usage of 21 firms listed on the Botswana Stock Exchange (BSE) in relation to five key financial indicators that included financial gearing, solvency, liquidity, profitability, and firm size. A logit regression model was run on the data covering year 2019 to the year 2021. The logit model revealed at 99% level of confidence that, a firm’s derivative usage is significantly and positively related to its financial gearing as measured by non-current liabilities to total equity (D/E) ratio. The study also revealed that usage of derivatives by firms listed on the Botswana Stock Exchange (BSE) had no significant relationship with solvency ratio (as measured by total liabilities to total assets ratio), firm size (as measured by total assets) and liquidity ratio (as measured by cash and cash equivalents to total assets). However, the research observed a significant and negative association between derivative usage and profitability ratio (as measured by Profit Before Interest and Taxation (PBIT) to Average total assets ratio). It was further noted that listed firms in Botswana are only using employee options, collateral based swaps, interest rate swaps, and foreign exchange swaps to hedge risks. Hence the study recommends policy makers to institutionalize derivative markets that offer a variety of products that include futures derivative contracts which are currently not in use in the market. The establishment of derivative market in Botswana will reduce an over-reliance on financial borrowing from the banking sector and government agencies by local investors, domestic firms, and multinational firms in Botswana. The use of derivatives also reduces the weighted average cost of capital and hence increases firm’s market value Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available Research Journal of Finance and Accounting Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2023 Derivative usage futures contracts key financial indicators logit regression model https://ir.zou.ac.zw/files/original/ef86c6e48b2fe40c7593333ebf5a2b60.pdf ae9521c4c34acc1252aeb607d16b903e Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource THE EMPIRICAL EVALUATION OF THE ASSOCIATION BETWEEN DERIVATIVESMARKETS AND MARKET FACTORS IN ZIMBABWE AND BOTSWANA Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource WILBERT KUDAKWASHE CHIDAUSHE TAVONGA NJAYA Description An account of the resource The study evaluated the association between financial markets and financial stability (as measured by bank credits to deposits), financial efficiency (as measured by bank costs to income ratio), financial access (as measured by bank accounts per 1000) and financial depth (as measured by bank deposits to GDP). A Generalised Linear Model (GLM) was run from the year 2009 to the year 2021. The GLM revealed at 99% level of confidence that, the financial markets are significantly and positively related to financial efficiency as measured by bank costs to income ratio. It is further observed that financial markets with higher bank costs to income ratio catalyses derivative usage. However, in contrast the financial markets were observed to have a negative significant relationship with the other constructs used in the model at 99% level of confidence. The results of the document review exposed the reason for non-use of derivatives as unique to each market relating possibly to differences in economic, political, financial infrastructure, market infrastructure, legal and regulatory and market timing. More so document analysis revealed that an evolving benefit of derivatives is enabling channelling of capital to sustainable investments. It is recommended that promotion of financial efficiency in the financial markets must be the main thrust of the policy makers through the establishment of properly functioning derivative markets in Zimbabwe and Botswana. Further policy makers must implore the use of sustainability linked derivatives (SLDs) in their markets as a vital option to allocate capital to environmentally friendly investments Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available Research Journal of Finance and Accounting Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2023 Document Analysis Financial Development Indicators Financial Efficiency Generalised Linear https://ir.zou.ac.zw/files/original/4c19b8d9e641b09d4c14d5eed4dbb8a3.pdf aafa4a033760492e04e1e9aa6f7e6d1a Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource DETERMINANTS OF BOARD DIVERSITY FOR FIRMS LISTED ON THE ZIMBABWE STOCK EXCHANGE Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource ZVINAIYE CHIMBADZWA LIGHTON DUBE EMMANUEL GUVEYA Description An account of the resource Board diversity is a topical discourse in firm governance and management. Diversity came up as a way of eliminating discrimination in employment and making sure there is equality, inclusion and affirmative action in the way firms do business. Board diversity has produced mixed results in relation to firm performance. On the one hand, diversity enables good governance to take place, ensures satisfaction of stakeholders and the firm to attain competitive advantage. Contrary, diversity may come with difficulties in communication, boardroom fights and decreased productivity among a plethora of negative contributions. The study investigates the various factors that affect board diversity from a Zimbabwean context. The Zimbabwe Stock Exchange’s 35 firms’ data is analysed to estimate the relationship between board diversity and firm performance. The study employed the quantitative methodology to establish factors that influence board diversity on firm performance of thirty-five (35) firms listed on the Zimbabwe Stock Exchange using panel data collected over the period 2009 – 2015. The major factors that promote diversity are firm size, liquidity, leverage, operating experience (years listed), market share (Tobin’s Q) and being in the service sector. On the other hand, board size, being in the food, financial, real and industrial and manufacturing sectors negatively and significantly influence diversity. Based on the above results, the study recommends that companies should come up with diversity-enabling policies to enhance firm performance.

Title A name given to the resource REAL ESTATE AND PROPERTY MANAGEMENT CHALLENGES IN THE CITY OF BEIRA, MOZAMBIQUE Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource TOWINDO TICHAONA Description An account of the resource The purpose of this thesis was to make an analysis of the challenges facing the real estate and properties management industry in the city of Beira, Mozambique. This research features both Policy Formulation and Management areas of study. In light of this research, there is one major question that had to be considered: “What are the challenges being faced by property owners, property seekers, property management regulators, and real estate agents during the course of their business activities in the city of Beira?” This qualitative research was based on the premise that valuable data were collected through conducting face-to-face interviews among the thirty participants in this study. The thirty participants were made up of eight informal real estate agents, eight property owners, eight property seekers, three formal real estate agents, and three local government officials (property regulators). Six participants were purposively sampled from each of the five major residential areas in the city of Beira. The interviewees were asked about the major challenges affecting the real estate and properties management industry. All the collected data were organized for entry into the Qualitative Data Analysis Computer program. This is an Excel Spread Sheets based program, whose results are summarized in a Pivot Table. The results following this research show that the City of Beira is being faced with real challenges whereby the property industry is being managed haphazardly. The study revealed that there is little government or official private sector control to oversee the industry. The study recommends the urgent need for the local government and the private sector to intervene in the property management activities through setting up an active national or local real estate board, and or local real estate committee. This board or committee should serve to come up with laws and specific guidelines for these real estate and properties management activities Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available ZOU Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2013 Beira Mozambique Property management Real Estate management https://ir.zou.ac.zw/files/original/58f577becb57744c3c9d3c8c951777d7.pdf d5c7924cef590e1118bfdb89831f928c Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource WORKPLACE COUNSELLING AS A REMEDY FOR BURNOUT: A CASE STUDY OF OPERATIONAL NON-GOVERNMENTAL ORGANISATION SECTOR RESPONDING TO EMERGENCIES IN MIDLANDS REGION OF ZIMBABWE Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource SHEPHERD SHUMBA Description An account of the resource The study investigated whether workplace counselling was a remedy for burnout which operational nongovernmental organisation (NGO) employees experience. The study was prompted by the fact that in Zimbabwe there is no recommended solution to the problem of burnout. This study was premised on the qualitative research design rooted in the interpretivist paradigm and was conducted in four operational NGOs responding to humanitarian emergencies in Midlands Region of Zimbabwe. The sample was made up of 8 participants from management, 22 employees from field staff to get a total of 30 participants purposively sampled. Data were generated through open ended questionnaires, interviews, observation and document analysis. Ethical considerations were met through seeking permission and informed consent from the selected NGOs and participants. Grounded theory was used as the basis for the analysis. The results were centred on four themes which were causes of burnout, current methods being used to prevent and treat burnout and their shortfalls and counselling as a means to deal with burnout. The findings showed that participants knew what burnout is and indicated that it is characterised by exhaustion, lack of enthusiasm and motivation and feeling 'drained. Findings on causes of burnout indicated that overworking and irrational thinking were some of the major causes of burnout. The research results also indicated that burnout negatively affects employees, resulting in diminished accomplishments, reduced efficacy, absenteeism, physical illness, reduced commitment and professionalism. On current methods of treatment of burnout, results indicate that employees largely rely on generic counselling, natural approach and medication. However, participants pointed out that burnout cannot be treated by medicine since it is not an infectious illness. Moreso, drugs cannot change irrational thinking that promotes burnout and drugs whip the adrenals. Findings showed that counselling can treat burnout through behaviour modification and change in lifestyle. Hence, it can be concluded that counseling is a remedy for burnout. The first key recommendation is that workplace counselling should be provided by NGOs to employees as a remedy to burnout that employees experience and counselling should be theory driven for it to be effective and professional. I further recommend that medical treatment be used to treat symptoms of burnout.

Title A name given to the resource SUPPORT STRUCTURES FOR SMALL TO MEDIUM ENTERPRISES AND THEIR POTENCY IN EMPLOYMENT CREATION IN GREATER MAPUTO Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource ALEN GEOFFREY SAWAYA Description An account of the resource Small and Medium Enterprises are globally credited for creating employment especially for the youth, and to an extent, contributing to the gross domestic product of nations. Unemployment is a scourge in Mozambique and small and medium enterprises are seen as a solution to this universal economic problem. The study sought to answer a fundamental research question; first, whether or not the support structures from financial institutions, government agencies, large firms and non-governmental organizations are sufficient for sustainable development and growth of small and medium enterprises, and second, whether small and medium enterprises that have received support, contribute to reducing unemployment in Greater Maputo. The study adopted the quantitative approach employing questionnaires as tools for data collection. The sample was chosen from the population of small and medium enterprises in Maputo using stratified random sampling method. A total of 550 respondents were selected from the seven administrative districts of Greater Maputo and the interviews were conducted using the face to face method employing structured, close ended questionnaires. The study found that support afforded to small and medium enterprises was too little for the sustainable development of this important sector of the economy. The major Achilles‘ heel among small and medium enterprises development was not the lack of entrepreneurial drive, rather subdued competitiveness. The study recommended that proactive steps be implemented to support small and medium enterprises in Greater Maputo, especially manufacturing enterprises. Financial institutions, government agencies, large firms and non-governmental organizations should take positive action to supports especially start-up firms as they are the source of employment creation Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available ZOU Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2014 Employment creation small to medium scale enterprises https://ir.zou.ac.zw/files/original/a62d82c5a113f6693bef33e5bba8f0cd.pdf fbdf2c1d0c0543f31b98cd3c50248ace Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource AN ANALYSIS OF THE FACTORS INFLUENCING THE EXCLUSION OF NON-FORMAL WORKERS FROM THE MOZAMBICAN SOCIAL PROTECTION SYSTEM Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource DIONÍSIO CALISTO RECAMA Description An account of the resource This thesis was an analysis of the factors influencing the exclusion of the non-formal workers from the Mozambique Social Protection System (MSPS). It aimed at finding mechanisms through which the MSPS could become more comprehensive and inclusive. The social protection system only accommodates employees from the formal sector of the economy, which constitutes the minority of the economically active population (EAP) and also of the Mozambican people. So, in more than 25 million of Mozambicans, of which more than 15 million are above 15 years and are EAP, of which more than 87% are out of the formal sector and, consequently, excluded from the MSPS. In this context, the research looked out to understand why the MSPS excludes the non-formal workers? What are the implications of this exclusion of the non-formal workers? How the excluded workers survive in situations of illness, invalidity, old age or death? Which mechanisms can be adopted in order to make the MSPS more comprehensive and inclusive? To constitute the sample, it was recurred to non-probability sampling in its convenience and purpose type, in which had employees of the National Institute for Social Security (NISS), Municipality Council of Maputo City (MCMC), non-formal professional associations responsible and the non-formal workers, as the research participants. To generate data, to the sample elements, the researcher administered a questionnaire and interview containing closed and open-ended questions. To analyse and discuss data, it was delimited to the use of interpretivism or constructivism approach in qualitative methodology. For presentation, analysis and discussion, it was confined to the use of technical charts and contends analysis. As guiding theories, the study recurred to the social protection and social network theories. Through the use of the qualitative methodology, philosophy, procedures and theories above, it was perceived that the MSPS managed by the NISS did not include the non- formal workers because it lacked administrative organisation to include and manage them and because bureaucratic aspects. The NISS considered all workers that were not working at enterprises as the non-formal, without resources to contribute to the social protection system and difficult to find them. However, some of them were salaried, clearly locatable, with enough financial income to contribute to the system. Moreover, some of them were continuously in relationship with some public institutions, namely, Ministry of Economy and Finance (MEF), Ministry of Industry and Trade (MIT), MCMC and National Institute for Statistics (NIS), which licensed and afterwards, collected fees and tax, interacted constantly and collected important information from them, and so on. Therefore, this exclusion, besides having no objectively real and valid reasons, condemned these non-formal workers to social and economic vulnerability in the future when they are at social and economic risk, such as maternity, sickness, invalidity, old age and/or death. To minimise the impact of these situations, the excluded workers adopted informal systems for social security or constitute professional associations, through which they face the maternity, illness, invalidity, old age and death difficulties. That is why the NISS must: (1) develop strategic tools for the institutional management, by which should be guided in all its actions to cover all workers, the formal or non-formal; for that, the NISS can (2) create partnership with the non-formal professional associations and public institutions which interact with them, because they know who and where are then, their financial and economic conditions; (3) consolidate the use of Information and Communications Technologies (ICTs) to facilitate the scanning and electronic storage process of historical information of the (not)submitted contributions to reduce the contribution evasion and inactivity of employers and workers; and (4) develop a training plan for their employees to identify with the strategic objectives and challenges of the institution, just to mention a few proposals. Finally, Also, it is necessary to do a feasibility study for (1) reimbursement of the Mozambican state with respect to its contribution rate of the non-formal workers and other segments hitherto excluded; (2) create fiscal mechanism to provide social pensions non-contributory, i.e., welfare pensions; (3) show the possibility to define and regulate an explicit mechanism and purpose of upgrading the amount of benefits that can be accrued from engaging non-formal workers into the social protection system.

Title A name given to the resource PREDICTING THE SPATIAL DETERMINANTS OF HUMAN–ELEPHANT CONFLICT IN HWANGE DISTRICT Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource FARAI MADZIMURE Description An account of the resource This study predicted the spatial determinants of human-elephant conflict in Victoria Falls town, Hwange West communal area and the resettlement areas of Don Rovin, Mubiya and Kalala. The study covered an elephant range of 4377km2. The non-experimental quantitative research design was adopted for the study. Garmin GPS receiver, digitizing and observation instruments were employed for collecting human-elephant conflict location data and spatial factors. Overlay analysis was used to combine human-elephant conflict location data with the distance maps of predictive spatial factors in ILWIS. Logistic regression was used to relate human-elephant conflict data and distance values of predictive factors in SPSS. In Victoria Falls town, results indicated that human-elephant conflict probability could be predicted significantly using distance from the park boundary and settlements. Distance from the forest and elephants routes significantly explained human-elephant conflict in the communal area of Hwange West. Human- elephant conflict was significantly related with distance from the forest in the Resettlement areas. These results suggest that the most important predictor of human-elephant conflict on this particular landscape is distance from protected areas. Implementation of effective conflict resolution strategies for the three areas requires stakeholders to take cognisance of the spatial factors which are related to human-elephant conflict. In Victoria Falls town, results imply that if elephants and humans are to co-exist with minimal conflict, there is need for land use planners to focus on developing mitigatory measures which deter elephants to move freely from the park to the residential areas. A deterrent method such as the installation of electric fence around Victoria Falls town has a great potential of preventing elephants from entering settlements and minimising human-elephant conflict. Such an approach is critical as results indicated that distance from the park boundary significantly predict human-elephant conflict in Victoria Falls town. Alternatively, town planners can consider vertical expansion of the built up area to prevent encroaching into the park. For Hwange communal and resettlement areas, land use planners should prevent settlement patterns that leave crop fields vulnerable to crop raiding. In Hwange communal area, planning the position of fences and other human-elephant conflict measures should consider the position of elephant routes. Alternatively, land use planners can consider allocating land to other uses besides settlements and agriculture. Integrating the spatial determinants of human-elephant conflict with land use planning has a great potential of offering permanent solutions to the conflict problem. Further research should be conducted on monitoring elephant movement patterns in the area using satellite linked GPS collars. This information can enhance our understanding of the routes used by elephants when they move around the settlements. This enhances our understanding of how elephants interact with spatial human land use and natural factors. Such information is crucial in designing effective human-elephant conflict resolution measures.

Title A name given to the resource A CRITICAL ASSESSMENT OF CHALLENGES OF SUSTAINABILITY IN THE OPERATIONS OF ANGOLAN NON-GOVERNMENTAL ORGANISATIONS (NGOs): A CASE STUDY OF ACTIVITIES OF NGOs SAVE THE CHILDREN AND FUNDAÇÃO YME, FROM 2000 TO 2010 Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource FILIPE BULOLA PANGE Description An account of the resource Non-governmental organisations (NGOs) have gained an important role in development co- operation during the last two decades. The development funding channelled through NGOs has increased and the number of NGOs engaged in development activities, both in Africa and Asia, has been growing. This qualitative case study set out to assess the critical challenges of sustainability in the operations of Angolan NGO’s Social activities and the capacity building process carried out by the NGO Save the Children and NGO Fundação YME, from 2000 to 2010 in Angola. This case study research was based on the organisation Save the Children and an indigenous organisation, NGO Fundação YME, located and operating in Cabinda, Luanda, Benguela, Huila and Namibe provinces of Angola. The aim was to evaluate the following major research question: what are the underlying factors in the challenges of sustainability in the operations of the national Angolan non-governmental organisations? The sub-questions were: Why are foreign NGOs’ operations sustainable while local NGOs’ activities are non-sustainable? Why does the challenge of sustainability in their operations continue to mount in indigenous 2 NGOs as shown by the non-sustainability of many NGOs in Angola? What are the mechanisms or policies for sustainability used by successful NGOs? How do human, material and financial factors enhance sustainable development outcomes in NGOs? What opportunities exist in Angola for the realisation of sustainability of NGOs? To answer the above questions, a number of qualitative methods and techniques were used to collect and analyse data. Among other techniques that were used are: Focus Group discussions with employees and volunteers, observations, key informant interviews with different categories of participants depending on their roles and level of involvement in the implementation of NGOs projects and also their experience in the implementation of donor aided programs. These discussions were guided by different interviews scheduled with respective participants. Conclusions drawn from the empirical study were among others, the major factors contributing to the mounting challenges of sustainability of NGOs social activities in Angola, were lack of effective leadership in the NGOs, poor strategic planning, poor vision and mission statement. This research among others, recommended that there is need to provide for strategic planning based on accurate information. Planning and managing the sustainability of NGOs requires the availability of accurate and timely information that links together resource inputs to NGO managerial outputs and process and appropriate indicators of the knowledge, skills, and values acquired by the employees. Therefore, it was recommended that efforts should be made to provide among others support reforms that focus on job training and management outcomes.

Following years of steady growth, the sector embarked on a downward trend in 1999. The global economic crisis, as well as the negative publicity and political unrest following the Land Reform Programme, have been cited as major causes of Zimbabwe‟s tourism slump. The signing of the Global Political Agreement in 2009 restored the country‟s economic and political sanity, setting the tourism sector on a recovery path. Zimbabwe‟s tourism however, continues to perform below its potential, necessitating the consideration of other factors that could possibly influence the sector‟s performance. This study therefore, sought to establish the quality of services at Harare International Airport and ascertain its role in tourists‟ decisions to travel to Harare. Basing on the SERVQUAL model, questionnaires were developed and fully completed by 410 passengers and 75 representatives of the various customer service departments at the Airport. To this end, the expectations and perceptions of respondents regarding the SERVQUAL dimensions of reliability, assurance, tangibility, empathy and responsiveness were sought. The study revealed that for all five dimensions, actual services delivered were below the expectations of passengers. Although services were not of a poor standard, there was room for improvement. Airport service quality was however, of significance to those travelling for reasons other than visiting friends and relatives. The Gap analysis suggests that managers were misguided on the service priorities of passengers. It can therefore, be concluded that Zimbabwe is capable of receiving more tourists by improving airport service quality. For that reason, Government investment in airports should be directed toward areas with the potential of raising service quality levels, thereby encouraging the influx of visitors who are sensitive to airport service quality. Investment in the human element of service delivery is also recommended to facilitate excellent customer service at airports Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available ZIMBABWE OPEN UNIVERSITY Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2016 airport service Quality assurance tourism https://ir.zou.ac.zw/files/original/51db372e6b6f4177ca748e46a5681512.pdf a79b453b412fa0991c2d87b9b3454733 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource AN ASSESSMENT OF THE INNOVATIVE MEASURES EMPLOYED BY SMALL TO MEDIUM SIZE HOTELS IN HARARE, ZIMBABWE Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource NEHEMIYA NDHLOVU Description An account of the resource The study sought to explore innovative measures employed by small to medium size independent hotels. The study employed the interpretivist paradigm and used the qualitative approach with a multiple case-study design. The population of the study comprised all the managers and junior staff in five small to medium size independent hotels in Harare. The sample of the study comprised fourteen managers and thirty junior staff purposively selected from the hotels. Qualitative data were generated through focus group discussions and qualitative interviews and were analysed for content using thematic analysis. Issues of data trustworthiness were addressed. Credibility was achieved by adopting appropriate and well recognised research methods while transferability was achieved through the provision of background data to establish context of the study and to allow comparisons to be made. Dependability was achieved through the use of “overlapping methods” and confirmability was achieved through triangulation and provision of in-depth methodological description. The study found that small to medium size independent hotels in Harare did not effectively implement the innovative measures in the management of business. The study further revealed that there were quite a number of major challenges faced by small to medium size hotels in embracing innovation. The study recommends that SMEs must strategically plan for innovation and effectively implement innovative measures. The study also recommends that small to medium size independent hotels should address innovation in a more integrated and systematic way and should use strategic measures to improve their operations. Further studies need to be conducted across a number of industries and the results should be compared across different industries and in the same industry over time.

Title A name given to the resource KEY LEADERSHIP FACTORS CRITICAL TO SUSTAINABLE BUSINESS VIABILITY IN VOLATILE OPERATING ENVIRONMENTS: A CASE STUDY OF ECONET WIRELESS ZIMBABWE LIMITED (1998-2017) Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource DOUGLAS MBOWEN Description An account of the resource This study was conducted to appreciate, fully, what leadership factors drive business viability in volatile, unpredictable, complex and ambiguous (VUCA) environments with the broader focus being on establishing the key leadership themes and factors influencing business viability in an identified VUCA environment, namely Zimbabwe from 1998-2017. The study made use of interpretive phenomenology as its paradigm, and was premised on qualitative, single explorative and interpretive case study design and methodology. Data were generated by the researcher through interviews, focus group discussions, with participants having been purposively sampled. The analysis of the data made use of the modified Stevick-Colaizzi-Keen method as described by Moustakas (1994), which resulted in the emergence of seven central themes considered as essential ingredients for fostering resilience and viability for businesses operating in VUCA environments. Based on the findings and discussions thereof, the researcher then amended the “Attributional resilience model” by Gibson and Tarrant (2010) and proposed what he has termed the Leadership-Driven Resilience Model (LDRM), which theoretically proffers possibilities for business leaders to develop coping strategies in response to difficult business operating environments. Recommendations for future research enquiry, include the need to look at multiple case studies and be able to undertake comparisons on viability dynamics across different organisations in VUCA environments. Further recommendations are also directed towards governments to more effectively respond through policy so as to ease off pressures as well as threats that VUCA environments thrust upon businesses and for businesses operating in VUCA environments to consider viability factors established in the study and then incorporate them into their strategy and operational planning so as to guarantee survival as they navigate the difficult operating environments.

The contribution of SMEs to national budgets has been curtailed by the phenomenon of tax evasion, yet little is known about factors associated with this phenomenon. This study was an investigation into factors associated with tax evasion in the Zimbabwe informal sector and it was a survey of Mbare Magaba Informal Traders. The study was carried out from November 2011 to October 2013 and a systematic sample of 150 informal traders working in makeshift shelters at Mbare Magaba was selected.

Title A name given to the resource A STUDY OF THE FACTORS IMPACTING THE IMPLEMENTATION OF RESULTS BASED MANAGEMENT (RBM) IN THE PUBLIC SERVICE IN ZIMBABWE Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource RUDO GRACE GWATA Description An account of the resource This study determined that the availability of capacity to implement Results Based Management (RBM) is a major determinant of the success or failure of the strategy. The purpose of the study was to investigate the main factors that impacted on the implementation of the RBM strategy in the Zimbabwe Public Service. Over the past three decades, the principle of RBM has been adopted by many Governments and public organizations worldwide to improve the implementation of national programmes. In Zimbabwe, the strategy was introduced in 2005 with the expectation that there would be improvement in the Public Service delivery and subsequently the lives of all stakeholders within the delivery system. However, the results, like in many other countries, had not been realized as expected. The study sought to understand the factors that affected the implementation of the strategy from the perspective of individual managers in the Zimbabwe Public Service, to determine whether or not the implementation process could help to explain the limited impact of the strategy. Limited research had been done to explore the experiences of individuals in the implementation of Public sector reforms. Understanding the experiences of Civil Servants regarding RBM could help to identify strategies to improve implementation and hence increased impact of the management strategy. Such understanding can also provide insight into the formulation of future initiatives for the implementation of other national programmes. It is expected that this study will contribute towards providing the Zimbabwe Public Service, and possibly other organizations, with suggestions on how they can improve their service to stakeholders. The study used both secondary and primary data. The secondary data was obtained through extensive study of relevant literature while the primary data was obtained from an exploratory study that comprised purposive and snowball sampling of middle and top managers from Head Offices of government institutions. Semi-structured open ended questions were asked to 32 managers to explore their experiences and challenges in the implementation of RBM. Content analysis of the original transcripts was employed to identify emergent themes. A number of key findings emerged from this study including the inadequacy of skills, information, attitude as well as financial resources to effectively implement RBM. In the case of financial resources, the inadequacy was reportedly in terms of both timing and quantity. Also, there was inadequate performance by managers in both the planning and performance measurement functions which are the core components of RBM. The main conclusion drawn from this research is that managers, particularly those within the line Ministries, were implementing the strategy without the requisite capacity to allow for the realization of the benefits of RBM. This study argues for a results based capacity building model to effectively equip managers with the required capacity. That is, a model that focuses on results emphasizes full participation of stakeholders in the identification of knowledge needs, formulation of strategies, monitoring and evaluation of these strategies. Such monitoring and evaluation includes the review and adjustment of the related systems as well as the incorporation of learning and information sharing throughout the process.

Title A name given to the resource WOMEN EMPOWERMENT THROUGH OPEN AND DISTANCE LEARNING IN ZIMBABWE Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource TAVONGA NJAYA Description An account of the resource The primary aim of the study was to uncover demographic and socio-economic details and reasons for opting for open and distance learning. Although the focus was on women learners, the study adopted a gender approach in assessing access to university education through open and distance learning in order to study both men and women. This helped to interrogate, articulate and analyse the gender construction of distance education learners and delivery of open and distance learning at the Zimbabwe Open University. Women constitute a substantial proportion of those marginalised by conventional systems of learning at university level. The problems of access to tertiary education are mostly restrictive socio-economic factors. Data collection techniques included interviews, focus groups and document reviews. Using the elicitation approach, forty-five learners and seven graduates were selected on the basis of representativeness in terms of academic level and discipline. Data were analysed using statistical tests and descriptive or thematic analysis. The study revealed that a significant number of respondents were working married women with children who found open and distance learning framework more compatible with their multiple tasks; household chores, education, wage work, family, relatives and community at large. The findings showed that open and distance learning helped women to circumvent constraints of time, space, resources and socio-economic barriers thereby significantly contributing to their empowerment.

Title A name given to the resource WHY DO FEMALE STREET VENDORS EARN LESS THAN MALE STREET VENDORS IN HARARE? Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource TAVONGA NJAYA STANLEY IDANAI MURANGWA Description An account of the resource The study explored the factors that influenced income disparities betweenmaleand female street vendors in Harare, the capital city ofZimbabwe.Qualitative data collection techniques used in the study included in-depth personal interviews, focus group discussions, direct observations and document reviews. The study observed three categories of street vendors, namely, stationary, peripatetic and mobile vendors. Although street vending reflected the face of a woman in Harare, a majority of the female street vendors earned less than their male counterparts. The reasons for low sales and hence low daily incomes for female street vendors were varied and includeddisruptions caused by household chores including child-care; stiff competition from rising number of street vendors;men grabbed bigger vending space and more strategic vending sites; low capital investment; a majority of women traded in low volume and perishable goods such as vegetables, fruits and cooked food and less lucrative goods; female street vendors had less access to productive tools and financial capital and worked as commission agents or employees of other vendors; gender bias towards some goods like leather and electronic products which generally required a substantial investment that could only be made by male vendors and female street vendors operated in insecure and illegal spaces where they became easy targets of eviction and confiscation. The major problem faced by women vendors was that street vending was illegal in Zimbabwe.

Prevent violence against women through in-depth understanding of such violence and the analysis of the current responses in the 4 wards was the overall aim of the study. This aim emanated from the view that violence against women is enduring despite the existence of national policies, regional and international frameworks and platforms for action against violence on women. Four wards of the constituency were selected for the study. These are Wards 7, 10, 18 and 29. A mixed methods research design was applied because the problem has both qualitative and quantitative aspects. The results of the study indicate that women are the main victims of various forms of violence in the four wards. Violence against women is rooted in the social structures and relations of the wards. The results of the study show that the current responses to violence against women are inadequate in both scope and rigour. There is need therefore to widen the scope and depth of the responses to enhance effectiveness.
