Driving urban-rural migration through investment in water resource management in subsistence farming: the case of Machibini
Olayemi Bakre , Nirmala Dorasamy doi: http://dx.doi.org/10.21511/ee.08(1).2017.07Environmental Economics Volume 8, 2017 Issue #1 pp. 66-74
Views: 1298 Downloads: 462 TO CITE АНОТАЦІЯThe once thriving subsistence farming community of Machibini is currently defunct due to water shortages, inadequacy of governmental support and better livelihood in urban communities. This community alongside its neighbouring communities is characterized by poverty. A variety of strategies and initiatives has been initiated to address the cyclical poverty amongst these communities. This paucity has driven the youths to urban centres as a means of securing a better livelihood. More so, the constant ebb of mass rural-urban migration has created voluminous challenges.
As an agendum to creating a viable farming community in Machibini and “instigating an urban-rural migration”, the paper recommends the reallocation of the surplus budgets of this community to the investment of water resource management as a strategy of transforming the subsistence into commercial farming, thereby creating employment opportunities for the unemployed rural, as well as urban dwellers, while reducing poverty to a reasonable extent.

Job satisfaction among academic employees in institutions of higher learning
Mateko Edith Moloantoa , Nirmala Dorasamy doi: http://dx.doi.org/10.21511/ppm.15(3-1).2017.03Problems and Perspectives in Management Volume 15, 2017 Issue #3 pp. 193-200
Views: 1477 Downloads: 357 TO CITE АНОТАЦІЯThe factors affecting job satisfaction of academic employees, with specific reference to the National University of Lesotho (NUL) were analysed. Understanding the factors that affect academic performance is pivotal for satisfactory levels of performance by higher education institutions. Satisfactory working conditions at universities like NUL can provide the impetus to attract well qualified academics. Six areas pertaining to working conditions, relationship with colleagues, access to resources, job security, recognition and advancement were focused on analyzing job satisfaction among academic employees at the National University of Lesotho. A concurrent approach of both quantitative and qualitative techniques was used. The target population of 156 respondents completed a 5-point Likert scale questionnaire. Quantitative data were analyzed using SPSS, version 22.0, while thematic analysis was used to analyse qualitative data. The findings of the study highlighted salaries as a factor influencing job satisfaction. Further, insufficient financial resources to support teaching, learning and research at the NUL impacted job satisfaction. Over and above dissatisfaction with benefits, allowances, lack of equipment, as well as poor institutional management, there was collegiality with heads of departments, working as a team. The findings are valuable to university administrators and academics to consider for improving job satisfaction among employees.

An investigation of the financial monitoring policies for microfinance institutions in Ghana
Kwami Hope Quao , Lawrence M. Lekhanya , Nirmala Dorasamy doi: http://dx.doi.org/10.21511/imfi.14(4).2017.09Investment Management and Financial Innovations Volume 14, 2017 Issue #4 pp. 90-104
Views: 1039 Downloads: 321 TO CITE АНОТАЦІЯThe need to regulate microfinance institutions (MFIs) was advocated and researched yet lacks purposeful in-depth exploring studies of the formulation process of financial monitoring policies, their implementation and accompanying challenges. Consequently, this study contributes by reviewing the specific financial policies for microfinance in Ghana and assesses factors mitigating effective implementation of such policies. It also introduces implementation theory into the MF research arena, thus shifting MF research focus.
The study revealed that policies formulated for MFIs in Ghana and elsewhere are skewed and policy implementation, monitoring and supervision found to be less effective. The results further identified inadequate support structures and large unlicensed profit-oriented informal microfinance operations in Ghana as major obstacles to efficient implementation of microfinance policies. This paper therefore recommends the creation of a semi-autonomous institution, the National Microfinance Oversight Authority, to license, regulate and supervise the informal microfinance institutions in Ghana.
