Title A name given to the resource MIDDLE RANGE THEORIES AS COHERENT INTELLECTUAL FRAMEWORKS Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource DR. S. B. M. MARUME R. R. JUBENKANDA C. W.

This may be explainable as follows: firstly, that epistemological rules and principles are wider and incorporate under to incorporate such concepts as generalization; theoretical paradigms; empirical theories; formal theories; and intellectual theoretical and conceptual frameworks: major premise designated as B. Secondly, that middle range theories have three sets of meanings: called minor premises designated as B1; and these three sets of meanings are: (a)theoretical paradigms as forms of middle range theories are the basic sets of assumptions ideas and unified viewpoints: called minor premise B2; (b) empirical theories as forms of middle range theories as forms of middle range theories are conceptual models of analysis: minor premise B3; (c) formal theories as forms of middle range theories, designated as minor premise B4. (d) Therefore, minor premises B1, B2, B3 and B4 are related to B, major premise. Thirdly, the broader epistemological rules and principles thus incorporate the middle range theories as coherent intellectual frameworks.

Title A name given to the resource POLITICAL PARTIES Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource DR. S. B. M. MARUME DR. A. S. CHIKASHA PROF. D. NDUDZO Description An account of the resource olitical Science studies domestic politics of a state or states, and contains political dynamics as one of its sub-fields of study which in turn has as one of its sub-sub-fields – political parties, a special topic for examination of this article. As a factual statement, political parties occupy an important place and play a significant role in the governmental process of a state having democratic political institutions. However, in countries with government systems characterized by a combination of authorization, a term which signifies non- democratic government, and democratic parties; parties resembling those found in democracies are likely to develop, but their importance depends on the degree to which representatives of the people are permitted to participate in the determination of governmental policy. Under thoroughly authoritarian governments the right to organize parties is either denied or confined to the membership of the ruling oligarchy. Consequently, party systems of the type which operate in a democratic or partly democratic environment fail to materialize. As events of the twentieth and 20th centuries and 21st centuries have demonstrated, authoritarian governments may be controlled by the leaders of an organization, known as a party, which monopolizes the field of organized political activity. Examples are the Communist Party of the former Russia; the Communist Party of China; and the socialist Party of Cuba under Fidel is Castro. Cases of this kind are often attributable to a combination of authoritarianism and totalitarianism. And in this article consideration is first given to the nature of political parties, to different varieties of parties, and to the functions which parties normally perform.

MADZIYIRE Description An account of the resource Public personnel administration which is that specialized sub field of public administration, concerns itself with the role of civil service in developing societies; classification of positions and ranks; recruitment, selection, placement and retention; training; promotions; and utilization of human resources, pay and service conditions (S.B. M. Marume; 1983 and 1988), for the purposes of meeting the needs of institutions, employees and outside groups(W. Fox and Ivan H. Meyer. 1995:95 and S. B. M. Marume 2016). And public personnel administration scientists, practitioners and researchers who are charged with the human resources responsibilities must have a clear and sound understanding, amongst other things, of the personnel performance appraisal system (PPPAS). They should also know the full implications of the following fundamental public personnel performance appraisal question: It is a traditional approach that is characterized by: (a) mere evaluation, excluding the planning and development function; (b) being linked with the financial rewards and sanctions; and (c) being impersonal, bureaucratic, top down, secretive and centralized excluding participation of the employee being assessed? From the close analysis of the literature available, personnel psychologists industrial, scientists and researchers strongly contend that: (a) if the personnel appraisal approach is traditional evaluation, then it can hardly be humanistic and motivating to an employee. (b) instead such a personnel appraisal approach must be focusing more on filling forms giving quantitative rather qualitative information and data. (c) the obvious question arising from this is: what influence would such a public personnel performance appraisal system (PPPAS) have on an employee’s future performance? (d) it must be understood that a performance appraisal system is a management tool which can help motivate and effectively utilize human resources and it includes public personnel performance planning (PPPP), appraisal and counselling as essential elements Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available International Journal of Engineering Science Invention Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2016 employee and institutional needs motivation planning and counsellin public personnel performance appraisal system (PPPAS) traditional approach utilization of human resources https://ir.zou.ac.zw/files/original/a02c57db889f18be3b7aa7dd0dcad16d.pdf d984d9141e451ac9c43a415652c0e557 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

This situation demanded humanitarian organisations to implement supply chain resilient strategies in order to secure the supplies of their procurement requirements on time and keep their operations running. This study, therefore, examined the effects of supply chain resilience strategies on operational performance of humanitarian relief organisations in Zimbabwe during the Covid-19 period. A pragmatic research philosophy and a descriptive survey research design were employed. A sample of 28 supply chain professionals from humanitarian relief organisations was randomly selected from a targeted population of 30 for the questionnaire and 25 of them responded whereas interviews were conducted with 5 supply chain management professionals. Quantitative data were scrutinized by means of SPSS & AMOS programmes (versions 22.0) whilst qualitative data from interview was analysed using thematic scrutiny. Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) was used to determine the results and convergent validity of the measurement model was tested. The study findings show that supply chain resilience strategies have positive significant effect on operational performance of humanitarian relief organisations during the Covid-19 period. The study concluded that, in Zimbabwe, humanitarian relief are familiar with supply chain resilient strategies and that the supply chain resilient strategies which were analysed have a positive and significant effect on material availability, delivery flexibility and delivery time. The study recommends humanitarian relief organisations to be agile in their supply chain departments, to push for cross sector collaborations and to implement supply chain preparedness strategies as this is critical in improving their operational performance during Covid-19 period.

The population for this study comprised 160 individuals who were purposively selected from the humanitarian organisations that operated in Manicaland, Zimbabwe, where Cyclone Idai took place in 2019. The Yamane formula was used to calculate the sample size of 114 respondents in the study. Structured questionnaires were used as research instruments in the study. The study revealed that Information and Communication Technology was important in humanitarian organisations as it helps to build resilience and improve disaster response. The study recommended the formulation of clear policies and guidelines that could govern the use of ICT in disaster response, ensuring that data security, privacy protection, and the interoperability among different organisations and agencies. The study also recommended the development of partnerships between humanitarian organisations, the government agencies, and the private sector entities to jointly invest in and leverage ICT solutions for the disaster preparedness and the response by implementing a centralised platform that integrates all the relevant stakeholders and the data sources to ensure seamless communication and information sharing during the disaster response operations.

Title A name given to the resource MOVING THE CENTRE WITHOUT CONFLICT; GENDER AND VIRTUAL EMPOWERMENT IN HIGHER EDUCATION: THE VIRTUAL EMPOWERMENT MODEL IN HIGHER EDUCATION Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource ESTHER GANDARI JUDITH TAFANGOMBE Description An account of the resource There is a wide gap between women’s access to education and women’s empowerment in a patriarchal society. In addressing marginalization, women in Southern Africa have made significant achievements and have excelled in a variety of fields, including the male domain. This has been possible due to emergent technologies which present new opportunities for women by empowering them in obtaining higher education, playing an active process of construction of knowledge, attitudes and values as well as developing skills using a variety of resources such as printed material and electronic media. This article investigates how four African housewives successfully moved the centre without conflict in their families especially with their husbands by getting educated using web-based technologies across face-to-face, online, and virtual world classes with communication tools that are synchronous, asynchronous, and automated pre-scripted. The study is qualitative and captures the narratives of the women using the ODL mode in successfully changing their circumstances while attending to their roles as mothers and wives in their kitchens. The integration of E-learning, which is the application of information and communication technologies in a wide array of solutions, improves knowledge and performance. The results were IT supported learning helped some of the women to acquire the necessary skills knowledge for their job without taking time off their traditional roles and duties in household work for example, cooking skill Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available EPRA International Journal of Research and Development (IJRD) Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2016 Education Empowerment knowledge Resource Teaching Women https://ir.zou.ac.zw/files/original/464b522c8491699315d0ece799296765.pdf b3e4317ff4b7e4f5294e426ac9517640 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 CAUSES AND EFFECTS OF FINANCIAL MISMANAGEMENT IN MUDZI DISTRICT’S PRIMARY SCHOOLS Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource EVERSHINE NDONGWE Description An account of the resource This study, ―Causes and Effects of Financial Mismanagement in Mudzi District‘s Primary Schools.‖ is a doctoral thesis conducted in Mudzi District, Mashonaland East Province between 2018 and 2022. The study's goal was to look at the issues that primary school heads encounter in Zimbabwe's Mudzi rural area. To collect data, the exploratory sequential mixed method study design was used. A random sample of 65 primary school heads provided quantitative data, while a purposive sample provided qualitative data. The data were augmented and triangulated with interview data conducted with 20 of the school heads and document analysis carried out at 20 of the schools. Research data were analysed using SPSS IBM software for quantitative data and NVIVO and thematic analysis for qualitative data. The study's principal conclusions were that financial mismanagement in Zimbabwean primary schools was caused by the absence of most of the papers that comprised the legal framework directing school financial management. As a result, most school heads lacked the legal and accounting knowledge to correctly interpret and implement some of the financial management and accounting principles Most Primary school heads doubled as school bursars or book keepers because their schools could not afford to hire a qualified bursar or bookkeeper. As a result, school heads were overwhelmed with work and this negatively impacted on their effectiveness as school financial managers. Most school leaders' capacity to successfully manage school money was hampered by a lack of accounting knowledge and abilities. Lack of regular supervision and auditing by the Ministry of Education resulted in some school heads making unchecked errors, oversights and short cuts in adhering to financial management processes and procedures. The following conclusion were drawn from the findings. The majority of incidents of financial mismanagement in Zimbabwean primary schools were caused by the absence of important papers that comprised the legal framework governing school financial management. As a result, some school heads worked outside of the policies that guided them. The majority of reported financial mismanagement incidents in Zimbabwean schools are the result of school leaders' lack of financial management knowledge and abilities. Heads of schools without bursars or bookkeepers are overburdened and prone to financial management blunders. The Ministry of Education's lack of monitoring and financial audits creates a climate in which acts of financial mismanagement take a long time to uncover and address. The following recommendations are made; All the legal and financial documents comprising the legal framework guiding financial management in Zimbabwean schools should be compiled into a handbook that should be kept at every school. School heads should be trained and capacitated in the processes and procedures of school financial management. All schools should have a bursar or bookkeeper qualified and experienced to keep books of accounts at the school. Use of financial computer packages should be incorporated in public primary schools. The Ministry of Primary and Secondary Education should make regular checks and audits to ensure the correct application of financial management policies, processes and procedures.

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 THE PERFORMANCE OF MARKETING AGENTS IN CHIBUKU INCLUSIVE VALUE CHAIN IN BEIRA, MOZAMBIQUE BY FERNANDO FERREIRA ALVES Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource FERNANDO FERREIRA ALVES Description An account of the resource The study was aimed at building and driving actual and potential Chibuku beer marketing agents towards an inclusive value chain, for performance and income improvement and lifting them from low livelihoods. The purpose was to include the marketing agents in the market at more beneficial terms, while supplying value for the lowest cost of the beverage. This was combined with an improvement of business standards, conceived on the leadership of a formal brewer, for quality and sustainability of production instead of the low value quality from small informal home opaque beer producers. The objective was to link stakeholders to the agents and the collaboration and linking them to the market. Besides discussing the challenges that the marketing agents faced in the Chibuku value chain, the study also considered the importance of training for the performance of the agents. The research design that guided the research problem comprised of transforming qualitative arguments into variables to create quantitative data. The population for this research was made up of Chibuku marketing agents, Cervejas de Moçambique (Mozambique Brewer) management staff representatives and the Ministries of Trade, Labour and Finance officials. The sampling technique was convenient for the agents, those that were available at the business centres at the time of data collection were interviewed. The researcher used purposive sampling to access participants with relevant knowledge and experience for the Cervejas de Moçambique (CDM) and different Ministries. Findings from the study revealed that there was management support from suppliers, Ministries of Labour, Finance and Trade to enhance the performance of marketing agents’ in Chibuku inclusive value chain that was important for inclusion in the value chain, as well as collaboration between marketing agents and supplier. This collaboration was significant as it helped the agents to perform better and overcome challenges faced in the business. The challenges were also minimized through management training. The study also found that management training provided by the brewer to marketing agents helped them run the business more efficiently and perform better in the Chibuku inclusive value chain. The major recommendation was that management support should be delivered during training in the working environment as an on-the-job training during the acquisition of abilities and knowledge needed to work in the business setting 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 2024 Chibuku Beer Inclusive Value Chain Livelihood Marketing Agents Opaque Beer value chain https://ir.zou.ac.zw/files/original/5b23e8432c073ddca4480050c14c7281.pdf 1f711d43d4089ff062ca419cc0523b77 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 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.

Title A name given to the resource PERCEPTIONS AND ATTITUDES OF PARTICIPANTS TOWARD URBAN GARDENING. A CASE STUDY OF NUTRITION GARDENS IN MUCHEKE TOWN, MASVINGO Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource FLORENCE CHIMBWANDA Description An account of the resource The main objective of the study was to determine participants’ attitude and perceptions towards urban gardening. Characterising the participants and determining the challenges and benefits obtained from urban gardening were also objectives of the study. Data was collect through questionnaire, focus group discussion and observations from the field. The study made use of a sample of 40 participants. Statistical tools such as descriptive statistics were employed and data was analysed through SPSS. The study revealed that urban gardening is an important programme to the community and that it is a better way of generating income. Most of the participants indicated that they can continue gardening without any form of assistance from donors. Benefits from urban gardening include, additional income from sales of vegetables, vegetables for family consumption, and time to socialize. Participants mentioned theft, dilapidating canals, one water point, and limited access to some of the vegetable markets as challenges that they face. The nutrition gardening programme targeted mainly the widowed, orphans, elderly and the sick. The study recommended that the city council should open more areas for urban gardening as this has proved to be a source of food and income so that those that are unemployed and the poor can engage in gardening. This will reduce urban poverty and create employment Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available Civil and Environmental Research Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2016 Attitude Nutrition gardens perceptions Urban agriculture
