patients who opted to stay at their respective homes because of fear of COVID-19. There are some advantages and
disadvantages using this platform and perceptions from different groups of people may vary. As cited by Menon et
al. (2016), there are burdens in the implementation of telemedicine but there are also advocates of its good effect
that is expected to increase patient’s satisfaction and the good assistance to the family. For many of the private
patients, telemedicine is the only safest way they could connect and seek consultation from their physicians but
how about their perception on the prompt enactment of these telemedicine? It is important therefore to document
the perspective of the recipients of telemedicine, the private patients, and be able to find out how prepared they are
in this platform of healthcare service delivery. To determine their perception on the level of preparedness, a
validated questionnaire was used. The result of the study shows that private patients are prepared for
telemedicine, however, there are certain parameters that needs to be improved for a more steadfast online
consultation experienced. They perceived that internet connectivity and the quality of service are fractions that
needs to be evaluated while comfort, safety, and affordability are the perceived benefits they could get. They also
perceived that telemedicine is applicable only for non-critical patients and for follow-up consultation.

building collapses, it results in the loss of lives and investment. This is counterproductive when the construction
product not only does not fulfill its objective but results in severe loss. The study was conducted to evaluate the
effects of risk management instruments of sustainability of construction in Nairobi, Kenya. The research problems
were formulated from the concern that there exists risk management instruments namely professional indemnity,
why does the construction industry continue to suffer severe losses due to collapsed buildings? Case study and
empirical reviews was used to conduct the study; Whereby various studies on risk management and sustainability
were reviewed. From the studies it was established there is diversity with regards to sustainability concept which
increases its scope of application. However, research gaps were found from the studies. Both the empirical and case
studies supported the objective that project professionals have a role to play in vice of collapsed building. A

... more With the increase of e-commerce, online shopping has become the preferred method of shopping for
many individuals. However, new ways of living also means the onset of new disorders such as compulsive buying
disorder (CB). A form of compulsive-obsessive disorder, online shopping at extreme levels is a compulsive act that
requires its own treatment strategies, most notably Cognitive Behavioral Intervention (CBI). Other comorbid
disorders include depression and anxiety in which buying material goods and services online can provide instant
gratification. Low self-esteem has also been associated with CB as addicts recognize their problem but struggle to
control their behavior. CBI, which is a group therapy form of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, provides patients
with accountability and feedback with logical explanations needed to help control their behavior. One major
tragedy of CB is the exorbitant amount of money spent to keep up with their addiction which can act as a stressor
in family dynamics. As online shopping addiction has increased around the world, researchers in China have
created internet-based interventions through an ES system that records how long an individual spent online along
with pertinent statistical information related to sites often visited. This literature review paper will take a closer
look at the onset of CB and online shopping addiction as well as the reasons behind why CBI is considered a
successful treatment method for CB.

persons to floor space in square feet; and the person-to-size ratio adjusted for household composition, structure
type, location, or lot size. It is believed that failure to adequately meet the housing need might have led to the
children’s low participation in the early year’s education and subsequently affecting other levels of education in
Meru County and the country at large. It is for this reason, that this study was designed. It will document the
extent to which, children’s housing need, and in particular, the crowding aspect, is addressed in Meru County.
This is because large number children, 52% of them in the early year’s education age levels did not participate in
the early year’s education. The main objective of this study was to establish the relationship between household
size and participation in early year’s education. The independent variable was household size. The dependent
variable was children’s participation in early year’s education. The target population for this study comprised 78,
201 school age going children of early years education level from whom an actual sample size of 390 children was
selected and their parents participated in the study. Children’s households were systematically sampled whereas
Meru County was sampled purposively. The researcher administered the questionnaire to parents of children at
the age of early year’s education. Those who participated in the early year’s education and those who did not
participate in the early year’s education were considered for the study. The t-test (two tailed) for testing equality of
means for independent samples was used to test H01 a t-test (two tailed) for independent samples found no
relationship between household size and participation in early years education. This study concludes that housing
need is important and unless it is met we will continue to have large numbers of children at the age for early year’s
education not participating in this education continuing to multiply.

P... more This research examined the effect of Community Involvement on the Sustainability of Development
Projects in Rwanda because, it has been observed that often when project start, communities members are actively
participating. However when the project phases out /ends, there is hardly any continuity of the project activities.
This may be attributed to the fact that usually community members are not sufficiently empowered and fully
engaged in every single activity of the project. The researcher intended to achieve this by use of three specific
objectives namely; to establish the effect of Community participation in Planning on sustainability of Essential
Nutrition and Health Package Project; to examine the effect of Community participation in Project Control on
sustainability of Essential Nutrition and Health Package Project, and to assess the effect Community participation
in Project Implementation on sustainability of Essential Nutrition and Health Package Project. The research was
beneficial to the researcher, Essential Nutrition and Health Package Project and UOK. The researcher used
descriptive design of study based on qualitative and quantitative approach in order to get better analysis of the
study. The population size was 185 and sample of 115 respondents was taken. Both primary and secondary sources
with their relevant tools, like questionnaire and documentary analysis was used in order to come up with required
data. Data was processed by use of SPSS and analyzed by use of percentages, mean and standard deviation. The
relationship between the variables was established by use of Pearson correlations module. In the findings it was
established that Community Involvement in development projects inform of Community Project planning,
Community Project control and Community Project implementation contributes highly to on sustainability
Essential Nutrition and Health Package Project in form of physical growth of the children, emotional growth of the
children, intellectual growth of the children and moral growth of the children. Table 4.16 gave the relationship
between Community Involvement and Sustainability of Development Projects in Rwanda whereby the respondents
N is 115 and the significant level is 0.01, the results indicate that independent variable has positive high correlation
to dependent variable equal to .781** and the p-value is .000 which is less than 0.01. When p-value is less than
significant level, therefore researchers conclude that variables are correlated and null hypothesis is rejected and
remains with alternative hypothesis. This means that there is a significant relationship between Community
Involvement on the Sustainability of Development Projects in Rwanda. We can therefore conclude Community
Involvement greatly contribute to positive Sustainability of Development Projects in Rwanda.

selected and their parents participated in the study. Children’s households were systematically sampled whereas
Meru County was sampled purposively. The researcher administered the questionnaire to parents of children at
the age of early year’s education. Those who participated in the early year’s education and those who did not
participate in the early year’s education were considered for the study. The t-test (two tailed) for testing equality of
means for independent samples was used to test H01 a t-test (two tailed) for independent samples found no
relationship between household size and participation in early years education. This study concludes that housing
need is important and unless it is met we will continue to have large numbers of children at the age for early year’s
education not participating in this education continuing to multiply.
developmental institutions are looking for and how they eliminate the un-equality and also how they empower
women using various tools, strategies and techniques of financial inclusion through microfinance service.
Microfinance is the tool that increase women’s access in economic, social and political, more over microfinance is
not the only tool to empower women but it is the most used and road of all the other tools some of the other tools
are Education, Technology, Health and political will that governments are building strong policies that they are
empowering women. Despite the literature of the previous studies as some of them mentioned that microfinance
has a positive impact on women’s economic empowerment, while others are ague that microfinance does not has a
positive impact in to economic impact of women but has impact of children education and health. So there has
been conflicting results in the literature. So, the aim of my study is to assess the Effect of microfinance service
towards urban women’s empowerment. The specific objectives of my study are; to determine the effect of women’s
economic or income situation towards empowerment after receiving microfinance service; to analyze the effect of
women’s decision-making ability towards empowerment after receiving after microfinance; to analyze the effect of
women’s living standard after receiving microfinance service; to analyze the effect of women’s self-confidence
after receiving microfinance service. Quantitative research design was used for the study to get appropriate
statistics from a high-volume sample size to gain valid result. The study used descriptive research design. This
study was also adopted simple random sampling in choosing the respondents and using sloven’s formula to select
sample size. This study employed a cross sectional survey with structured questionnaire, which the researcher
needs to administer through distributing to the sample of microfinance service institutions and clients in Hargeisa

used case study as a research design and expert sampling for its method of collecting data. After the collection of
all the historical data available, heritage food experts were invited to participate in the in-depth online interview to
verify the gathered information that was later analyzed using content analysis. The findings showed that the
heritage cuisine in Cavite was heavily influenced by the countries who settled in the province ever since the
Manila-Acapulco galleon trade. In addition, the identified heritage food has great significance in terms of its social,
aesthetic, and historic value but is currently facing different concerns and issues. In conclusion, the heritage
cuisine in Cavite signifies the identity of the community where it originated and they were part of the daily lives
and shared traditions of the locals during large social gatherings. Based on the results, the researchers
recommended that the collective efforts of the government and other heritage food experts are needed to promote
the heritage cuisine to younger generations. Festivals, restaurants, and documentaries can also increase its
awareness and successfully preserve the different heritage food.

compliance in government Procurement entities of Rwanda. The objective of the study was to assess the effects of
training, coaching and leadership development in public procurement to influencing regulatory compliance of
government Procurement entities. A descriptive survey research design was adopted using quantitative methods
and used closed ended questionnaire as a data collection instrument. The study targeted 86 respondents from
government Procurement entities namely Rwanda Social Security entities, Rwanda Development entities and
Rwanda Governance entities. Purposive and stratified sampling techniques were used to select respondents. Data
was then analyzed on quantitative basis using Pearson’s correlation, multiple linear regression analysis and
descriptive statistics. The regression model used was LogY= βo + β1LogXit1 + β2LogXiit2 + β3LogXiiit3 + ɛt and
multiple R (correlation) value obtained was 0.843 (84.3%). The model summary depicted from the regression
analysis with multiple R (correlation) value of 0.843 (84.3%) indicated a highly positive relationship between the
dependent and independent variables and, the overall contribution of the independent variables: Training (TR),
Coaching (CO), and Leadership Development (LD) to the effective regulatory compliance in public procurement
(RCPP) which accounted for 70% (R2 = 0.700) of the variation in the RCPP. Therefore the researcher concluded
that training, coaching and leadership development in public procurement had the significance influence on
regulatory compliance which led to confirm the relationship between capacity building in procurement and
regulatory compliance of government Procurement entities in Rwanda. The study recommended that government
Procurement entities should continue to focus more on capacity building framework of the staff involved in public
procurement to ensure their sustainability and compliance in the future. And finally, the study proposed different

Projects in Rwanda because, it has been observed that often when project start, communities members are actively
participating. However when the project phases out /ends, there is hardly any continuity of the project activities.
This may be attributed to the fact that usually community members are not sufficiently empowered and fully
engaged in every single activity of the project. The researcher intended to achieve this by use of three specific
objectives namely; to establish the effect of Community participation in Planning on sustainability of Essential
Nutrition and Health Package Project; to examine the effect of Community participation in Project Control on
sustainability of Essential Nutrition and Health Package Project, and to assess the effect Community participation
in Project Implementation on sustainability of Essential Nutrition and Health Package Project. The research was
beneficial to the researcher, Essential Nutrition and Health Package Project and UOK. The researcher used
descriptive design of study based on qualitative and quantitative approach in order to get better analysis of the
study. The population size was 185 and sample of 115 respondents was taken. Both primary and secondary sources
with their relevant tools, like questionnaire and documentary analysis was used in order to come up with required
data. Data was processed by use of SPSS and analyzed by use of percentages, mean and standard deviation. The
relationship between the variables was established by use of Pearson correlations module. In the findings it was
established that Community Involvement in development projects inform of Community Project planning,
Community Project control and Community Project implementation contributes highly to on sustainability
Essential Nutrition and Health Package Project in form of physical growth of the children, emotional growth of the
children, intellectual growth of the children and moral growth of the children. Table 4.16 gave the relationship
between Community Involvement and Sustainability of Development Projects in Rwanda whereby the respondents
N is 115 and the significant level is 0.01, the results indicate that independent variable has positive high correlation
to dependent variable equal to .781** and the p-value is .000 which is less than 0.01. When p-value is less than
significant level, therefore researchers conclude that variables are correlated and null hypothesis is rejected and
remains with alternative hypothesis. This means that there is a significant relationship between Community
Involvement on the Sustainability of Development Projects in Rwanda. We can therefore conclude Community
Involvement greatly contribute to positive Sustainability of Development Projects in Rwanda.
service quality delivery in public institutions. The specific objectives were to assess the relationship between
procurement policies and service quality delivery, to analyze the relationship between procurement planning
procedures and service quality delivery, toestablish the relationship between buyer/supplier procedures
relationship and service quality delivery, to analyze the relationship between monitoring and evaluation and
service quality delivery. The research was conducted in one of the public institution which is REMA located at

the institution. The total population for this study was 81 persons; these are employees of Rwanda Environment
Management Authority; Since the population of this research was composed with a small number of people there
was no need to apply a formula to calculate the sample size of this research. Therefore, the researcher used the
total population as a sample size of this research thus the sample size of this research is 81 employees in
departments with the information relate to procurement. Raw data was transformed into meaningful interpreted
report using different techniques. In order to get quality information, there is generally need for standard
checking so that the researcher could end up with realistic data, which clearly reflect the depicted situation. Thus,
stand checking was done through editing, coding, and tabulation. The study tried to present the findings of
assessing the expectations and perceptions of procurement practices and service quality delivery in public
institutions context in Rwanda. The assessment of service quality expectations and perceptions investigated in this
study has proved to be reliable in REMA though a remarkable number of respondents remained neutral in terms
of procurement practices in REMA and some disagreed with the statements related to service quality delivery.
The research revealed that procurement policies, procurement planning, buyer/supplier relationship and
monitoring and evaluation affect the service quality delivery in Rwanda Environment Management Authority ;
this indicated by the fact that there was big number of agreement with the statements related to the procurement
practices and service quality delivery in REMA. Thus; the researcher concluded that procurement practices affect
service quality delivery in REMA. The researcher recommends REMA to put in place rigorous measures to ensure
that procurement practices are based on carefully crafted plans that take into consideration the regulations of the
procurement and disposal Act. The management of REMA should eliminate all elements of corruption in
procurement practices and promote integrity in the procurement process. This will in turn lead to improvement

patients who opted to stay at their respective homes because of fear of COVID-19. There are some advantages and
disadvantages using this platform and perceptions from different groups of people may vary. As cited by Menon et
al. (2016), there are burdens in the implementation of telemedicine but there are also advocates of its good effect
that is expected to increase patient’s satisfaction and the good assistance to the family. For many of the private
patients, telemedicine is the only safest way they could connect and seek consultation from their physicians but
how about their perception on the prompt enactment of these telemedicine? It is important therefore to document
the perspective of the recipients of telemedicine, the private patients, and be able to find out how prepared they are
in this platform of healthcare service delivery. To determine their perception on the level of preparedness, a
validated questionnaire was used. The result of the study shows that private patients are prepared for
telemedicine, however, there are certain parameters that needs to be improved for a more steadfast online
consultation experienced. They perceived that internet connectivity and the quality of service are fractions that
needs to be evaluated while comfort, safety, and affordability are the perceived benefits they could get. They also
perceived that telemedicine is applicable only for non-critical patients and for follow-up consultation.
building collapses, it results in the loss of lives and investment. This is counterproductive when the construction
product not only does not fulfill its objective but results in severe loss. The study was conducted to evaluate the
effects of risk management instruments of sustainability of construction in Nairobi, Kenya. The research problems
were formulated from the concern that there exists risk management instruments namely professional indemnity,
why does the construction industry continue to suffer severe losses due to collapsed buildings? Case study and
empirical reviews was used to conduct the study; Whereby various studies on risk management and sustainability
were reviewed. From the studies it was established there is diversity with regards to sustainability concept which
increases its scope of application. However, research gaps were found from the studies. Both the empirical and case
studies supported the objective that project professionals have a role to play in vice of collapsed building. A
conceptual framework was proposed with corruption identified as mediating variable.
many individuals. However, new ways of living also means the onset of new disorders such as compulsive buying
disorder (CB). A form of compulsive-obsessive disorder, online shopping at extreme levels is a compulsive act that
requires its own treatment strategies, most notably Cognitive Behavioral Intervention (CBI). Other comorbid
disorders include depression and anxiety in which buying material goods and services online can provide instant
gratification. Low self-esteem has also been associated with CB as addicts recognize their problem but struggle to
control their behavior. CBI, which is a group therapy form of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, provides patients
with accountability and feedback with logical explanations needed to help control their behavior. One major
tragedy of CB is the exorbitant amount of money spent to keep up with their addiction which can act as a stressor
in family dynamics. As online shopping addiction has increased around the world, researchers in China have
created internet-based interventions through an ES system that records how long an individual spent online along
with pertinent statistical information related to sites often visited. This literature review paper will take a closer
look at the onset of CB and online shopping addiction as well as the reasons behind why CBI is considered a
successful treatment method for CB.
persons to floor space in square feet; and the person-to-size ratio adjusted for household composition, structure
type, location, or lot size. It is believed that failure to adequately meet the housing need might have led to the
children’s low participation in the early year’s education and subsequently affecting other levels of education in
Meru County and the country at large. It is for this reason, that this study was designed. It will document the
extent to which, children’s housing need, and in particular, the crowding aspect, is addressed in Meru County.
This is because large number children, 52% of them in the early year’s education age levels did not participate in
the early year’s education. The main objective of this study was to establish the relationship between household
size and participation in early year’s education. The independent variable was household size. The dependent
variable was children’s participation in early year’s education. The target population for this study comprised 78,

all the historical data available, heritage food experts were invited to participate in the in-depth online interview to
verify the gathered information that was later analyzed using content analysis. The findings showed that the
heritage cuisine in Cavite was heavily influenced by the countries who settled in the province ever since the
Manila-Acapulco galleon trade. In addition, the identified heritage food has great significance in terms of its social,
aesthetic, and historic value but is currently facing different concerns and issues. In conclusion, the heritage
cuisine in Cavite signifies the identity of the community where it originated and they were part of the daily lives
and shared traditions of the locals during large social gatherings. Based on the results, the researchers
recommended that the collective efforts of the government and other heritage food experts are needed to promote
the heritage cuisine to younger generations. Festivals, restaurants, and documentaries can also increase its
awareness and successfully preserve the different heritage food.

compliance in government Procurement entities of Rwanda. The objective of the study was to assess the effects of
training, coaching and leadership development in public procurement to influencing regulatory compliance of
government Procurement entities. A descriptive survey research design was adopted using quantitative methods
and used closed ended questionnaire as a data collection instrument. The study targeted 86 respondents from
government Procurement entities namely Rwanda Social Security entities, Rwanda Development entities and
Rwanda Governance entities. Purposive and stratified sampling techniques were used to select respondents. Data
was then analyzed on quantitative basis using Pearson’s correlation, multiple linear regression analysis and
descriptive statistics. The regression model used was LogY= βo + β1LogXit1 + β2LogXiit2 + β3LogXiiit3 + ɛt and
multiple R (correlation) value obtained was 0.843 (84.3%). The model summary depicted from the regression
analysis with multiple R (correlation) value of 0.843 (84.3%) indicated a highly positive relationship between the
dependent and independent variables and, the overall contribution of the independent variables: Training (TR),
Coaching (CO), and Leadership Development (LD) to the effective regulatory compliance in public procurement
(RCPP) which accounted for 70% (R2 = 0.700) of the variation in the RCPP. Therefore the researcher concluded
that training, coaching and leadership development in public procurement had the significance influence on
regulatory compliance which led to confirm the relationship between capacity building in procurement and
regulatory compliance of government Procurement entities in Rwanda. The study recommended that government
Procurement entities should continue to focus more on capacity building framework of the staff involved in public
procurement to ensure their sustainability and compliance in the future. And finally, the study proposed different

Projects in Rwanda because, it has been observed that often when project start, communities members are actively
participating. However when the project phases out /ends, there is hardly any continuity of the project activities.
This may be attributed to the fact that usually community members are not sufficiently empowered and fully
engaged in every single activity of the project. The researcher intended to achieve this by use of three specific
objectives namely; to establish the effect of Community participation in Planning on sustainability of Essential
Nutrition and Health Package Project; to examine the effect of Community participation in Project Control on
sustainability of Essential Nutrition and Health Package Project, and to assess the effect Community participation
in Project Implementation on sustainability of Essential Nutrition and Health Package Project. The research was
beneficial to the researcher, Essential Nutrition and Health Package Project and UOK. The researcher used
descriptive design of study based on qualitative and quantitative approach in order to get better analysis of the
study. The population size was 185 and sample of 115 respondents was taken. Both primary and secondary sources
with their relevant tools, like questionnaire and documentary analysis was used in order to come up with required
data. Data was processed by use of SPSS and analyzed by use of percentages, mean and standard deviation. The
relationship between the variables was established by use of Pearson correlations module. In the findings it was
established that Community Involvement in development projects inform of Community Project planning,
Community Project control and Community Project implementation contributes highly to on sustainability
Essential Nutrition and Health Package Project in form of physical growth of the children, emotional growth of the
children, intellectual growth of the children and moral growth of the children. Table 4.16 gave the relationship
between Community Involvement and Sustainability of Development Projects in Rwanda whereby the respondents
N is 115 and the significant level is 0.01, the results indicate that independent variable has positive high correlation
to dependent variable equal to .781** and the p-value is .000 which is less than 0.01. When p-value is less than
significant level, therefore researchers conclude that variables are correlated and null hypothesis is rejected and
remains with alternative hypothesis. This means that there is a significant relationship between Community
Involvement on the Sustainability of Development Projects in Rwanda. We can therefore conclude Community
Involvement greatly contribute to positive Sustainability of Development Projects in Rwanda.
