The Challenges of Good Governance and Project Implementation in Nigeria: A Re...AJHSSR Journal
ABSTRACT : This study reveals that systemic corruption and other factors including poor leadership,
leadership recruitment processes, ethnic and regional politics, tribalism and mediocrity, poor planning, and
variation of project design have been the causative factors that undermine projects implementation in postindependence African states, particularly in Nigeria. The study, thus, argued that successive governments of
African states, using Nigeria as a case study, have been deeply engrossed in this obnoxious practice that has
undermined infrastructure sector development as well as enthroned impoverishment and mass poverty in these
African countries. This study, therefore, is posed to examine the similarities in causative factors, effects and
consequences of corruption and how it affects governance, projects implementation and national growth. To
achieve this, the study adopted historical research design which is qualitative and explorative in nature. The
study among others suggests that the governments of developing countries should shun corruption and other
forms of obnoxious practices in order to operate effective and efficient systems that promote good governance
and ensure there is adequate projects implementation which are the attributes of a responsible government and
good leadership. Policy makers should also prioritize policy objectives and competence to ensure that policies
are fully implemented within stipulated time frame.

ABSTRACT: Although a significant amount of literature exists on Morocco's migration policies and their
successes and failures since their implementation in 2014, there is limited research on the integration of subSaharan African children into schools. This paperis part of a Ph.D. research project that aims to fill this gap. It
reports the main findings of a study conducted with migrant children enrolled in two public schools in Rabat,
Morocco, exploring how integration is defined by the children themselves and identifying the obstacles that they
have encountered thus far. The following paper uses an inductive approach and primarily focuses on the
relationships of children with their teachers and peers as a key aspect of integration for students with a migration
background. The study has led to several crucial findings. It emphasizes the significance of speaking Colloquial
Moroccan Arabic (Darija) and being part of a community for effective integration. Moreover, it reveals that the
use of Modern Standard Arabic as the language of instruction in schools is a source of frustration for students,
indicating the need for language policy reform. The study underlines the importanceof considering the
children‟s agency when being integrated into mainstream public schools.

Exploring Factors Affecting the Success of TVET-Industry Partnership: A Case ...AJHSSR Journal
ABSTRACT: The purpose of this study was to explore factors affecting the success of TVET-industry
partnerships. A case study design of the qualitative research method was used to achieve this objective. For the
study, one polytechnic college of Oromia regional state, and two industries were purposively selected. From the
sample polytechnic college and industries, a total of 17 sample respondents were selected. Out of 17
respondents, 10 respondents were selected using the snowball sampling method, and the rest 7 respondents were
selected using the purposive sampling technique. The qualitative data were collected through an in-depth
interview and document analysis. The data were analyzed using thematic approaches. The findings revealed that
TVET-industry partnerships were found weak. Lack of key stakeholder‟s awareness shortage of improved
training equipment and machines in polytechnic colleges, absence of trainee health insurance policy, lack of
incentive mechanisms for private industries, lack of employer industries involvement in designing and
developing occupational standards, and preparation of curriculum were some of the impediments of TVETindustry partnership. Based on the findings it was recommended that the Oromia TVET bureau in collaboration
with other relevant concerned regional authorities and TVET colleges, set new strategies for creating strong
awareness for industries, companies, and other relevant stakeholders on the purpose and advantages of
implementing successful TVET-industry partnership. Finally, the Oromia regional government in collaboration
with the TVET bureau needs to create policy-supported incentive strategies such as giving occasional privileges
of duty-free import, tax reduction, and regional government recognition awards based on the level of partnership
contribution to TVET institutions in promoting TVET-industry partnership.

Non-Financial Information and Firm Risk Non-Financial Information and Firm RiskAJHSSR Journal
ABSTRACT: This research aims to examine how ESG disclosure and risk disclosure affect the total risk of
companies. Using cross section data from 355 companies listed in Indonesia Stock Exchange, data regarding
ESG disclosure and risk was collected. In this research, ESG and risk disclosures are measured based on content
analysis using GRI 4 guidelines for ESG disclosures and COSO ERM for risk disclosures. Using multiple
regression, it is concluded that only risk disclosure can reduce the company's total risk, while ESG disclosure
cannot affect the company's total risk. This shows that only risk disclosure is relevant in determining a
company's total risk.
KEYWORDS: ESG disclosure, risk disclosure, firm risk

Big Brother Big Sister of Central Ohio
The volunteer opportunity that I have expanded most recently is my involvement in Big Brothers, Big Sisters. I have been
involved in the school-based mentoring program for three years now. I started mentoring at Cherrington Elementary in
Westerville through an opportunity that came up while I was located in our Westerville office. I started mentoring a boy
named Liam when he was in the first grade and have been with him now almost done with the third grade school year.
We focus on reading, teaching and being a positive adult figure in their lives. As time has gone on, I have found the 30
minutes weekly to be simply not as much time as I would like to spend with Liam. So, in January, I started the
community-based mentoring program with Liam, so we could do activities outside of school and spend more time
together. With Liam and so many others, there are loving adults in their lives, sometimes there is simply not the ability to
spend as much time as they would like with their children due to the demands of work and supporting their families.
With Big Brothers, Big Sisters and the other volunteer opportunities that I am part of, it is the looks in the eyes of those
you are assisting, the positive impact you can have on somebody’s life that drives me to want to volunteer as much as I
can.

brings joy to my heart to serve others and for that one reason I continue to give back in the Community in which
I live and work year after year!

assistance you want someone to be there for you, so why not be there for someone else!

It's important to me to give back to an organization that gave to me as a child in foster care - this is my way of
giving back. I took the course 8 weeks long and then got appointed by Kootenai County Court with a Judge
providing our oath to our community to these kids in need. This has been a great way for me to give back and
give children in foster care a voice in the court room.

VP of Spectacular Spud Museum, Post Falls Food Bank, United Way and Day of Caring
I enjoy helping an organization that helps children be able to enjoy Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math. It began all the
way back in elementary school. The school had several programs that helped people in need within the community. As I grew
older more opportunities to help support my community came up thru various churches, united way, and work. I became the
VP of the Spectacular Spud Museum about 5 years ago. We started with a large collection of Mr. Potato heads, movie props,
science experiments that my friends Erin and Todd had in a storage shed. They started working towards their 501 c3 and they
brought me on to raise the funds to qualify which we have continued to do for the last 5 years. Our goal now is to get a
location so that we can begin operating as a children's museum dedicated to Erin's late brother. I continue to volunteer
because when you give the gift of time or effort to someone who truly needs it.

I currently work with the eleven year old scouts in my troop teaching them outdoor skills, first aid, leadership
skills, and citizenship responsibilities. I feel these skills are necessary for every young person to develop in order
to be valued additions to our local communities and country. Volunteering is a rewarding and challenging way to
find purpose in our day to day lives. Volunteering helps us focus on helping others and not on ourselves and in
turn helps us to become better individuals than we were before.

Giving back to the community is what keeps us all grounded in the most important things in life, such as helping
one another in times of need. I appreciate that Alliance Data affords us the opportunities to do so during work
hours and with our team members who we spend our work days with! There is so much to get involved with,
and the more passionate you are about a cause, the more time and energy you will want to put forth. Most
recently our larger director team, Team Palmer, volunteered with sorting donations at the Star House, which is a
drop-in center for homeless youth in central Ohio. Our whole team was very touched by the experience and
wanted to continue giving back. So, we are organizing a follow up donation that we will bring to the Star House.

Lutheran Social Services and Habitat for Humanity
Giving financially is always an option; however, when you are physically involved with a volunteer effort, you gain a greater sense of fulfillment. You are
able to see the immediate impact of what you are doing. Throughout the year, I like to volunteer with LSS and Habitat for Humanity. It's then that I get
to interact with the people who dedicate their lives to these efforts as well as meet the people we are helping. Education, healthcare, and hunger are
my passions. It gives me the greatest pleasure to know that I am able to help in those areas through ADS. While I was in high school, I was involved in a
lot of groups that volunteered. As I moved onto college, I continued to be involved with those types of organizations as well as finding places to
volunteer on my own. I took a hiatus from volunteering while my children were young, but as soon as they were school age, I became involved in their
schools as well as volunteering through church. I was lucky to become an employee at ADS where we are able to volunteer. I volunteer with a group of
friends for Habitat. We enjoy using skills that are outside of our normal work day, plus we learn new things while helping a deserving family. It's also a
great way to meet new people from other organizations as well as from ADS. There are plenty of volunteer opportunities and try a few until you find
one that fits you.

Volunteering is important to me because it is a real world impact. I know that by giving of myself and my time, I
am making positive impacts in the lives of others. I love volunteering with kids. To see the impact that sports
can make in a young persons life is always exciting. Being able to teach them a skill, and how to interact in a
team environment will only help them to be more successful in the future. I would tell them that even though
your time is benefiting others, you will truly benefit in the end. Volunteering has made me feel more tied to my
community, and more invested in the people around me.

I have been on the needing end of volunteers or helping programs, and it is my responsibility to continue to pay
that experience forward continually. Upon being a member of the Fraternal Order of Eagles, I was presented
with the opportunity to help. Once I started, and saw the results of my efforts, it is addicting!! I have never had a
negative experience at any function or event I volunteered to be part of. The group(s) I volunteer with and for
are very appreciative, and if you ever get to see the results or reactions from the people your helps impacts it is
LIFE changing. Try it!!! If you can, look for something you enjoy doing, are passionate about, or do very well. This
way, while volunteering that first time, you at least enjoy what you are doing. Once you have done it and have
seen the impact you can make, I have full faith that you will seek out those opportunities again.

United Way, Habitat for Humanity, SIDS foundation
I enjoy helping others who have fallen on hard times, or encounter a life experience that is unimaginable. I have
had support when I needed it and I want to be able to give that back and let others know they are not alone. I
recommend helping where you can and in lieu of just talking to them, I will ask them to join me. I have found
that a lack of knowledge will result in a lack of volunteering. Usually just getting started with a project is the
beginning of a life long experience.

Safe Passage, Family Promise and Church
I love Family Promise because I can see how they are helping these families make a new
start. The children are amazing and it is so gratifying to get to know them; to see that
they just need a little emotional support, and they make me laugh! Feel how rewarding
it is to share some of your time with someone who hasn't gotten the opportunity to
solve their dilemma through their own means. It can be something as simple as holding
a hand , filling out paperwork or filling shelves with products, reading, and my favorite,
letting them know that they matter (in whatever way that they need it).
13. Michael Hawley
Manager, Collections Department | Coeur d’Alene
Bloomsday Association, YMCA of the Inland Northwest, Boy Scouts of America
I volunteer to give others the opportunity to try new things. The ability to help kids develop skills and participate
in new experiences, these experiences have life long impacts. When encouraging other to volunteer I would ask
them who coached that basketball when they were young? I would ask who mentors youth at the YMCA on
leadership? I would ask who volunteered at that race you ran last month? If people don't step up it will impact
our community and our families.

The Ronald McDonald House and Junior Achievement
Giving back to the community was instilled in me at a very young age. Growing up, I had individuals in my
life who donated their time to mentor me, which has helped shaped me. It's my way of paying it forward. At
Junior Achievement, I teach middle school students about career readiness, entrepreneurship, business, and
financial literacy. The classes that I have taught were in the Columbus City Public Schools District. I
volunteer with this organization because when I was in the 9th grade, I had a Junior Achievement volunteer
come to teach me about budgeting and life preparation. Upon graduating high school, the Junior
Achievement organization awarded me a $1000 scholarship for college. I want to pay it forward.

I have been volunteering more now since my kids are grown, but have done some even when they were small.
My efforts have increased in the past 6 years. I was ask by a friend from church to go along with them to the
food pantry, and I was hooked on volunteering. I was so surprised how thankful the people were that we were
there for them. In all the volunteer experiences I have had, I have always walked away feeling refreshed and like
the little bit I had done means a lot to someone. The feeling of making a difference keeps me coming back for
more.

Community Dinner
I volunteer to provide a hot meal for anyone in our community, some living out
of their car or tent, without a home and families struggling to make their budget
stretch. Folks in our community that life has hit hard. Without the dedicated
volunteers we would not be able to continue this community outreach. Besides a
hot meal we offer some essential clothing items, encouragement and hope.

I learned the value of giving my time when I was very young. My first serious time was volunteering with
American Cancer Society after my father passed away. I enjoy volunteering with programs involving music.
Music is for everyone - It is one of the most artistic forms of expression and requires the left & right side of the
brain work together. Even if you have nothing else to give, give of yourself!

Girl Scouts and Boy Scouts of America
I want to mentor young people to give back to the community so we have a society of people that care and
improve lives for others. All my children have been involved in scouting and I know if has made them better
individuals within society. My three sons are now giving back to the community by mentoring and my two
daughters work for charities. By volunteering you see the world with a different lens and you get back more then
you usually put in. I have learned more value about life since I have been volunteering. Sometimes we forget
how blessed we are with our life when we step out and see the lives of others. Giving back what you have to
offer whether it be time, money, or just guidance is the most important thing you can do for yourself.

I love giving back and have done so my entire life. I work in the library where I am able to help members of my

children find books to learn and grow. Find something you love and pay it forward!

United Way, Operation feed, and the Boys and Girls Club.
Volunteering is important to me because I feel like it's important to give back to the community who helps
support my family. I have two boys who will be attending kindergarten and in my city it is based off of donations
from United Way. It is important to me that children feel like they can do and be anything, no matter their
current circumstances. I have two boys who volunteer without me asking to donate their old toys to "kids who
cant afford to have many toys." as my five year old says! I feel like I set a great example for my own kids to help
out others who are not as fortunate or just need a little extra something to make them smile.

Mina's Girls Mentoring, Hannah's Prom and Dress Closet, OliveMoore, and Livanthropy
Volunteering is important to me because I believe that the service to others is the greatest gift that we can give. The act of serving is
also the greatest gift that we can receive. I founded a girls mentoring organization called "Mina's Girls Mentoring" in Oakland, CA. But
I also volunteer with "Hannah's Prom and Dress Closet" in Spokane, WA., "OliveMoore" in Sacramento, CA. and "Livanthropy" in
Oakland, CA. I have always been an advocate for giving back to the community in which I live, and those communities that have
served me well throughout my life. I started by one day asking what I could do to help, and I have been asking ever since! The primary
organization that I support (outside of my own, Mina's Girls mentoring program) is Hannah's Prom and Dress Closet in Spokane, WA.
This organization provides underprivileged high school girls (who otherwise could not afford them) with dresses, shoes and
accessories for prom and homecoming for free. The girls are usually referred and come in by appointment to try on and select a dress
for their event. Dresses and accessories are provided by generous community donations; they are new or gently used items. I became
acquainted with the owner of the organization when I put together a prom dress donation drive for my organization.

I serve on the board for Family Mentor Foundation; it's a small non-profit that provides meals for kids who don't
have enough food over the weekend. I appreciate the chance to make a difference and love that the benefits are
so immediate and impactful to those the organization serves. There are a lot of hurdles to getting involved when
you're busy, but you won't regret the time you spend volunteering and it will mean so much to those you're
helping.

Volunteering for children helps me show youth that giving back to people outside of your immediate circle of
friends and family is important to society. The actions of a few individuals adds up to have a large impact on
where we live and how we help others. I help teach youth more about our outdoors and conservation, their
impact on the world and some of the places they can go if they choose to. I help them become better, more
informed youth that give back to others selflessly, as well as helping them become more aware of who they are
and what they want to be as they grow. I have been very fortunate to be able to volunteer with Scouting since
2001 and enjoy sharing new experiences not only with boys and girls, but also with their parents as well.

Boys and Girls Club, Meals on wheels, Fischer House at Lackland Air Force base and Haven for Hope homeless shelter
Volunteering is important to me because, my parents introduced me to giving back at a very young age. I was
taught that helping others is part of why we are here. I started going to soup kitchens at the age of 8. My parents
would have my siblings and I sit an talk with people who were homeless. I discovered at a very young age that
there was no difference between me and them. It mainly by the grace of God and the decisions we make a long
the way. Just try it nothing I have ever experience in life has been as rewarding as helping others, especially
children and the elderly.

Some of the volunteer work I do includes the following: during the fall I collect school supplies for the west side
of San Antonio and hand out free back packs which are filled with supplies. During thanksgiving time I help a
food bank drive and during Christmas I support a drive for Ceaser Chavez Foundation. During Hurricane Harvey
my family and I took it upon ourselves to collect 3 trucks full of clothes, non parish food and waters and personal
items to drive to Victoria Texas to hand out. All the organizations I support are all very important to me because
the look on peoples face when they see people actually care and want to help is amazing.

Northwest Expedition Academy
The community is what its about. I like to give back when I can because I know that when I need, help my community will be
there for me too! I started volunteering with Girl scouts when I was little, and then through the local churches. When I fell into
hard times I wasn't able to donate money but I could donate my time and it felt great to give back after all they had done for
me. I volunteer there because it grants me more time with my child and I get a better hands on experience with his education!
NExA (Norhtwest Expedition Academy) is the only school in this area of its kind. They have multiple expeditions every month
and the kids are going out into the community to learn how the local businesses help their community. Its a rewarding
experience, volunteering your time shows someone you care and you never know what new opportunities will arise when you
have the time to invest in others. Who knows one day it may be you that needs the help and you'll be glad they are there to
help you.
