This paper attempts to analyze the situation of job availability in the markets for postgraduates, especially masters in geography education (M.Ed.). It also covers the scope of jobs in the markets, status of job involvement, and level of satisfaction based on qualitative research design and secondary data sources. Primary data were collection from interviews and discussions with teachers and postgraduate students of geography education. Secondary data were collection from various sources including digital libraries. The findings of this paper indicate that the postgraduate in Geography education is involved in different jobs such as teaching, educational research, administration, and educational planning in government, public and private sector institutions. Most of those who are engaged in teaching professions seem satisfied with their job. Besides, some private-sector workers are not happy with their work. Recently, the geography curriculum has offered geographic information systems (GIS), a global positioning system (GPS), and remote sensing (RS) as well as other tools and techniques. This may open ample job opportunities for geography graduates. The Department of Geography Education should be committed to producing skilled and competent man powers to fulfill market needs, and the government should make a policy arrangement to give priority in teaching, research, administration, and planning in education for the manpower produced in this subject.

Subject Mozambican cabinet reshuffle. Significance President Filipe Nyusi dismissed four ministers on December 12-13, subsequently reappointing two with different portfolios the next day. The reshuffle was expected following leadership changes at the ruling FRELIMO party congress in September/October. It brought in new ministers for the crucial energy and minerals and agriculture portfolios. The government is now focused on pushing through key investment decisions in the liquefied natural gas (LNG) sector in the resource-rich Cabo Delgado province, where ruling elite struggles over land, gas and access to harbour facilities are intensifying. Impacts High interest rates due to government borrowing are crowding out private-sector funding. LNG developments in Cabo Delgado could be slowed due to factional fighting within FRELIMO. Although budgetary support is frozen, there could be a short-term spike in donor aid to specific public and private sector initiatives.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to study two objectives. First, it intends to scrutinize the challenges in implementing Public Private Partnership (PPP) by examining the factors that hinder the successful adoption of PPP in Malaysia. Second, it aims to investigate the differences in the perceptions of the government and the private sector pertaining to the hindrance factors. Design/methodology/approach – A questionnaire survey was used to elicit the perceptions of the public and private sectors concerning the constraints of PPP implementation in Malaysia. A total of 122 usable responses were obtained, which were analysed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences software. The mean score and mean score ranking were used to examine the importance of the hindrance factors based on the overall responses as well as on the respective responses of the public and the private sectors. An independent sample t-test was used to examine the differences in the perceptions between the two sectors. Findings – The overall results show that “lengthy delays in negotiation”, “lack of government guidelines and procedures on PPP”, “higher charge to direct users”, “lengthy delays because of political debate” and “confusion over government objectives and evaluation criteria” are the top five constraints for adopting PPP in Malaysia. In terms of the differences in the perceptions between the public and private sector groups, the statistical test results indicate that there are only significant differences in the perceptions for two hindrance factors. Originality/value – The paper contributes to the existing literature on PPP, which is currently limited, by focusing on the challenges of implementing PPP in a developing country (i.e. Malaysia). More importantly, this paper provides evidence concerning the differences in the opinion of two key players (i.e. the government and the private sector) on the PPP hindrance factors.

Green finance plays a pivotal role in achieving inclusive, resilient and cleaner economic growth by creating environmental benefits. It helps in increasing the flow of finance from the public, private and nonprofit sectors to sustainable development priorities. Recognising the significance of green finance, UN Environment has been working in the alignment of the financial system of the countries to channelize the financial flows for attaining 2030 sustainable development goals. To build economic development in a sustainable manner, India also needs a national green finance strategy. It requires green infrastructure funding of about $4.5 trillion by 2040. The contribution made by both public and private sector organisations/banks will play a crucial role in green financing. The present study therefore mainly explores the various green financing initiatives taken by the public and private sector organisations/banks in India. The study showcases the various challenges in the area of green financing in India and also recommends measures to face those challenges. The study is descriptive in nature and is based on secondary data taken from various government reports published by the Government of India and other published reports of public and private sector organisations and banks in India.
