Title A name given to the resource Is microfinance really helping the most vulnerable? An empirical test of the effectiveness of the Ghana’s Microfinance Policy Reform Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Luis Serrano-Diaz, Gyimah Sackey, Frank Description An account of the resource The study aims to test the effectiveness of the Ghana Microfinance Policy of 2006 set up to support women and youth through access to credit. Our results show that, after controlling for a large number of variables, female and young entrepreneurs are less likely to be rationed in the access to microcredit and that this is largely determined by the differential treatment that they receive from microfinance institutions. Our analysis using regression decomposition techniques indicates that positive discrimination in favour of women and youth exists. Surprisingly, our results show that government microfinance policy accounts for the most severe rationing behaviour towards the targeted groups by the law.

Title A name given to the resource COVID-19 emergency income grant and food security in Namibia Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Orkoh, E., Hasholo, E.N., Sackey, F.G., Asravor, R.K. Description An account of the resource This paper evaluates the effects of the government's COVID-19 economic stimulus and relief package (emergency/one-off income grant of ND750) on household food security in Namibia during the period of the lockdown. The analysis reveals that a household that received the income grant ($42 equivalent) experienced about 11%−17% reduction in food insecurity compared to their non-recipient counterparts. We also found that the effect was relatively higher in female-headed households than in male-headed households. The positive effect is supported by a higher proportion (53%) of the beneficiary households who were satisfied with the policy. These findings underscore the need for the government of Namibia to institutionalise and sustain the income grant policy as a safety net and extend it to cover other vulnerable households in the post-pandemic. Such a programme should be gender-responsive and targeted at household heads who make decision over food consumption and other household arrangements for a bigger impact.

Title A name given to the resource Capital structure and corporates financial sustainability: evidence from listed non-financial entities in Ghana Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Yusheng Kong, Mary Donkor, Mohammed Musah, Joseph Akwasi Nkyi, George Oppong Appiagyei Ampong Description An account of the resource This study examined the nexus between capital structure and the financial sustainability of 28 listed non-financial firms in Ghana. Panel data for the period 2008 to 2019 was used for the analysis. From the results, the panel studied was heterogeneous and cross-sectionally dependent. In addition, the variables investigated were first-differenced stationary and cointegrated in the long term. The elasticities of the predictors were explored via the common correlated effects mean group (CCEMG) estimator. From the findings, capital structure proxied by the debt and debt-to-equity ratio improved the firms’ financial sustainability via the increase in return on equity (ROE). Also, firm size and assets growth promoted the entities’ financial sustainability in all the panels; however, the association between operational efficiency and the corporates’ sustainability was heterogeneous across panels. Finally, asset tangibility significantly impacted the firms’ financial sustainability. Based on the findings, the study recommended that authorities should opt for a capital structure mix that would minimize costs and optimize the firms’ financial sustainability when making capital structure decisions.

Title A name given to the resource Higher education strategic marketing and brand communications in Africa Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Robert Ebo Hinson Description An account of the resource Strategic marketing of higher education encompasses the efforts made by tertiary or higher education institutions to develop a better understanding of the needs of their prospective customers in order to design products and services to meet and exceed these needs.

Title A name given to the resource Bank Brand Avoidance: Service Perspectives from Nigeria and Ghana Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Robert Ebo Hinson Description An account of the resource Brands are important for both consumers and frms. While strong brands bring fnancial benefts to frms and help them diferentiate themselves from competing products, it also gives assurance to consumers and helps assuage the tension involved in making a purchase decision (Keller, 2001). Brands are also essential for the success of service frms (Berry, 2000).

Title A name given to the resource Public Sector Marketing Communications: Insights from/for the Primus National Football League Rwanda Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Robert Ebo Hinson Description An account of the resource This chapter highlights the potential of an unexplored African Professional Football League to leverage its brand through effective marketing communications. The chapter is primarily documentary analysis-driven, drawing upon a mixture of official statistics, contingent literature and personal observation, especially the on-pitch performance of the Rwanda Professional League Football. Considering the sponsorship deals the government of Rwanda has with Arsenal Football Club in the English Premier League, and the VisitRwanda visibility, it is surprising that the domestic league is less globally visible. Interestingly, the league recently secured a sponsorship deal with the local brewer, Bralirwa, promoting a change of label Primus National League due to agreed naming rights with the domestic brewer. Arguably, football leagues are quasi-government entities and deserving of the label, public sector. Overall, the chapter advances a potential avenue for a perception change of global observers (including potential investors) of the football league in a country at the forefront of African development.

Title A name given to the resource Determining mobile money service customer satisfaction and continuance usage through service quality Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource , Robert Ebo Hinson Description An account of the resource Mobile money service is a major retail financial service provided by telecommunication firms and formal banking institutions in many countries in Sub-Saharan Africa. The increased patronage of mobile money services demands that telecommunication firms enhance the quality-of-service delivery they offer in order to stay competitive. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the service quality factors that influence customer satisfaction and continuance usage of mobile money services. Data were collected from 494 users of mobile money services. Using structural equation modeling, this study tested hypotheses on the effect of service quality variables on customer satisfaction and continuance usage of mobile money services. The findings indicate that the availability of services, facilities, and security influence customer satisfaction, whereas the expertise of the service provider, the operator’s network system, and responsiveness influence continued use of mobile money services. The findings of this study will assist mobile money service providers and policymakers in planning services that will increase customer satisfaction and retention. The study contributes to identifying service quality constructs that influence customer satisfaction and continuance usage in the mobile money context Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived https://link.springer.com/article/10.1057/s41264-021-00138-5 Language A language of the resource English
