Nigeria is becoming a global player in the business economy of Africa. Ibadan comes next to Lagos being the commercial hub of Nigeria; with high concentration of advertising and sales promotion and patronages This study investigates clients' perception, adoption and satisfaction with multi-platform advertising media strategies (MuPAMS) among business organisations in Ibadan, South-Western Nigeria. Ex-post facto research design was adopted, data was gathered using Multi-Platform Advertising Media Adoption Questionnaire (MuPAMAQ) (r = 0.86); and analysed descriptively. Findings revealed that majority of business organisations in Ibadan attached high importance to flier (57.7%), television (47.7%) and social media (47.4%). Thus, best promotion platforms were flier (84.6%) and social media (57.4%). Majority (69.3%) indicated very low satisfaction with the advertising agency services of which only 33.3% made quarterly requests per year. Adoption of multiple advertising platforms was recommended among media practitioners in Nigeria, to provide clients with a wide range of options and alternatives.

This paper presents the researchers’ interpretive analysis of data from the main study that was aimed at proposing the method that will plausibly be used to analyse the Grade 12 results and to compare performances of learners between provinces of South Africa. This cross-sectional, quantitative, and ex-post-facto designed study used secondary and clustered data, as supplied by Department of Basic Education through Umalusi council, to compare the likelihood of passing Grade 12 between male and female learners in the Gauteng Province, even after adjusting for school quintile. Thus, this work attempted to model the relation between school resources inputs and school outcomes called educational achievements or academic performances. The dataset contained a total of 98894 (45.44% male and 54.56% female) learners who set for Grade 12 examinations in 2008 academic. The crude estimates indicated that female learners than male learners were significantly 1.035 more likely to pass Grade 12 (OR = 1.035, p = 0.016, 95% CI: 1.006 - 1.065). Also, the school quintile adjusted model indicated that female learners than their male counterparts were significantly 1.040 more likely to pass Grade 12 (OR = 1.040, p = 0.010, 95% CI: 1.009 - 1.072). The significant effect of school quintile favoured female learners (p < 0.001). These results, from disaggregated analysis, indicated that there was sufficient evidence that female than male learners had better chances of passing Grade 12 in Gauteng Province. Therefore, authorities may consider the issue of learner-gender when allocating resources to different school In Gauteng Province.

There are almost 800 millions illiterate adults worldwide (UNESCO, 2005) Based on the above, there is an urgent need to expand the vision of both the MDGs to capture education for adult, so as to achieve the widespread agreement that through adult basic education and literacy intervention, human and social development can be enhanced (UNDP, 1997).This paper therefore examines issues in the provision and management o f adult literacy programme in Nigeria through a descriptive survey analysis o f ex- post facto. Guided by 4 Research questions and 1 hypothesis, findings revealed the perceptions o f beneficiaries in respect o f this programme. The paper concludes that the successful implementation o f adult literacy programme is the only way o f ensuring sustainable development in the country because it is only a man that can distinguish between truth and falsehood. He is really free to choose and participate actively in promoting socio. economic and political development o f his/her country while the planning implications were likewise highlighted.

Abstract Background Most field entomology research projects require active participation by local community members. Since 2012, Target Malaria, a not-for-profit research consortium, has been working with residents in the village of Bana, in Western Burkina Faso, in various studies involving mosquito collections, releases and recaptures. The long-term goal of this work is to develop innovative solutions to combat malaria in Africa with the help of mosquito modification technologies. Since the start of the project, Bana residents have played an important role in research activities, yet the motivations and expectations that drive their participation remain under-investigated. This study examines the factors that motivate some members of the local community to contribute to the implementation of Target Malaria’s activities, and, more broadly, explores the reasons that animate citizen participation in entomological research work in malaria-endemic regions. Methods A qualitative approach was used to survey the factors motivating members of the local community to assist in the implementation of Target Malaria’s entomological research activities in Bana. Eighty-five individual in-depth and semi-structured interviews were conducted, followed by three focus groups, one with youths who had participated in mosquito collections, and two with adult men and women from the village. All data collected were fully transcribed, processed, and subjected to thematic content analysis. Results Data showed that the willingness of local community members to participate in entomological research activities was informed by a wide range of motivational factors. Although interviewees expressed their motivations under different semantic registers, the data showed a degree of consistency around five categories of motivation: (a) enhance domestic protection from mosquitoes and malaria, (b) contribute to a future world free of the disease, (c) acquire knowledge and skills, (d) earn financial compensation, and (e) gain social prestige for the village.Conclusion These varying motivations reflect a set of differing personal and collective perceptions about the participation process, combining short and long-term, individual and collective motivations. Beyond the specific circumstances of this case, the study highlights the complex reasons that drive collective participation in entomological research and vector control activities. Detailed knowledge of community expectations should underpin any effort to mobilize local participation in field research activities.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to explore the influence of project management offices (PMO) in non-governmental organizations (NGOs), in fundraising linked to projects, under the theoretical lens of the resource-based view. Design/methodology/approach Through a longitudinal analysis ex post facto study in a non-profit civil association, the authors examined by Mann-Whitney’s U tests the results before (2003-2008) and after (2009-2014) PMO implementation, to check if the office moderated the relationship between project management and fundraising for projects. Findings Mann-Whitney’s U tests showed that PMO had, in those periods, a statistically significant influence in increasing the number of projects and decreasing the mean value of their budgets (p-value<0.05). Originality/value Despite the wide range of studies on the contribution of PMOs to internal project management, there is a lack of empirical evidence on their moderation capacity, especially in NGOs. To fill this research gap, this study investigates the moderating role of PMO in NGOs, by examining their performance on fundraising processes, to contribute to a better understanding of potential PMO effects, particularly as a moderator of the relationship between project management and projects’ fundraising.
