sustainability and the need for technological and spiritual advancement. These challenges imply that ACK
followers may not fully benefit from the socio-economic and spiritual advantages associated with church
membership. This study aimed to investigate the correlation between strategic leadership intent and ACK’s
growth. The study utilized a cross-sectional design to investigate church leadership dynamics within the
Anglican Church of Kenya, specifically focusing on strategic leadership and church growth. A sample of
315 church leaders was drawn from various administrative levels, including provincial administration
members and diocesan secretariat members, reflecting both urban and rural demographics. Proportional
stratified sampling ensured representation across different strata. Data collection involved a structured
questionnaire administered either online or in person, covering participant demographics and key research
variables. Reliability coefficients, such as Cronbach’s alpha, were computed to ensure the questionnaire’s
internal consistency. Statistical analyses, including linear regression, were conducted using SPSS to evaluate
research hypotheses. The study found that strategic leadership intent explained 19.1% of the variance in
church growth within the Anglican Church of Kenya, indicating a significant relationship between the two
factors. A one-unit increase in strategic leadership intent corresponded to a 0.438 increase in church growth,
suggesting a positive association between the two variables. These findings support the idea that effective
strategic leadership plays a crucial role in driving church growth, with nearly one-fifth of the variations in
growth attributable to strategic leadership. Overall, the results underscore the importance of strategic
leadership in fostering the growth and development of the Anglican Church of Kenya. Subsequent research
endeavors could explore distinct facets of strategic leadership to discern their individual impacts on church
growth.

State-owned enterprises in the Energy sector are a major foundation upon which the economic, social and political development strategies are built on in order to actualize the vision 2030 as well as the big four agenda. They enjoy monopoly in provision of services to the public. However, despite reforms on public sector bureaucracy, the public still face many hurdles in accessing government service, the level of public dissatisfaction on service delivery is high and open government bureaucracy hasn't led to quality and sustainable service delivery. In addition, politicization of appointments of Board of Directors translating to insufficient competence and legal frameworks which subtly are inclined to privilege a few at the expense of the entire public, have tainted government image. This paper particularly established the influence of policy compliance on service delivery in State-owned enterprises. The target population was 124 suppliers, 5,107 end-user consumers, 1,817 employees in KPLC plus 480 employees in REREC and 30 employees in the Energy regulator (EPRA). A sample of 380 individuals/households was selected using a two-stage random sampling procedure comprising of proportionate stratified and simple random sampling techniques. Empirical data for this thesis were gathered using semi-structured questionnaire. The validity and reliability of the data collection tool was assessed to confirm the suitability of the tool for use in the study. Descriptive analysis, diagnostic test for multiple linear regressions and inferential analysis were conducted on the data set that had been gathered from the field. The findings demonstrated that policy compliance positively affected delivery of services. Management of state owned enterprises should enact policies to reinforce practices on aspects of leadership power, leadership motivation and leadership delegation. The human resource divisions of state owned enterprises ought to enact policy the buttress mutual trust, team spirit, sharing of information, openness, and sense of belonging. In addition, sufficient resources should be availed for strengthening information and communication infrastructure as one of the critical support system for enhancing the processes of value creation and delivery.

In Nakuru the programme targeted grassroot women in table banking. To make the evaluation comprehensive in determining the level of women economic empowerment, this study adopted Kabeer's (2005) theoretical framework for measuring women's empowerment. The objective of the study was to establish the extent to which table banking had increased women economic empowerment in Nakuru County. Specifically, the study sought to assess the extent to which; the WEL's project had enhanced women's participation in county governance, women's participation in the project had increased access to services and resources; and finally Identify success stories, lessons learnt and challenges that women in the project encountered. The study reached a total of 206 out of the 473 women who had been trained on basic financial literacy from 35 table banking groups. In each of the selected groups, three officials (the chairperson, secretary and the treasurer) and three members participated in the study. Key informants, 2 gender officers, 1 gender champion also participated. Data analysis revealed that 80% of the women were business owners, 10.21% were employed while 6.6% were domestic workers. The study's findings revealed that WEL's programme on Strengthening Inclusive Leadership had mixed results in enhancing participation of women in leadership and governance. Only half of the women at 49.51% had offered themselves for leadership and governance positions yet their capacities and availability to participate in leadership and governance were rated very high. The study also found that women's participation in the WEL's project had increased access to services, resources and women's participation in governance opportunities to a large extent. Finally, the study appreciated that the WEL project in Nakuru targeted most vulnerable, low income i.e., economically vulnerable grassroots women. Among the obstacles found to be hindering Women Economic Empowerment were poverty, high level of illiteracy and lack of information. Among other recommendations, women requested additional seed capital from either WEL or County Government to increase their borrowing power within their groups and expand adult literacy programme by the County Government. The study also recommended concerted campaign to include more women in leadership and governance.

The undertaking of this study therefore help identify governance practices exercised by land officers in Kenya, the problems that need to be identified and potential interventions to be put forward. The specific objective was to assess the effects accountability, on public procurement performance in Kenya. The agency, white collar crime and fraud triangle theories supported the study. The descriptive design was used with 531 populations from the state agency. This study used Kish formulas to choose 228 sample sizes. Content validity of this tool was based on professional judgement, including discussion of product with research director. The above or equal to 0.7 alpha was used with data analysis supported by Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) version 23.0. The analysis was both descriptive statistics and regression analysis. Before data collection, research permits were obtained from relevant government agency. The results showed that the study factors had a substantial impact on the Ministry of Lands' procurement performance, with a coefficient of correlation of 0.817. The modified determination coefficient was 0.658, or 65.8%. This infers that the four independent variables transparency, accountability, risk management, ethics, and integrity accounted for differences in the dependent variable. There are more factors outside the purview of this study that could account for the 34.2% residual. The study comes to the conclusion that the Ministry of Lands' procurement performance is highly impacted by corporate governance practices. The results also revealed that transparency, accountability, risk management, ethical and integrity significantly affect the procurement performance. Through transparency, stakeholders are provided with access to information, fostering trust and confidence in the integrity of procurement decisions and reducing the risk of corruption. The ministry of lands and physical planning should uphold the transparency as a cornerstone principle throughout procurement processes. By ensuring that all stages of procurement are open, accessible, and well-documented, the Ministry can foster trust among stakeholders and mitigate the risk of corruption or favoritism. Implementing robust mechanisms for disclosure of information regarding procurement decisions, contract awards, and supplier selection criteria is imperative

More so, the increased economic engagement between China and Africa has heightened concerns about Chinese companies' social responsibility practices in the region. This article conducts a meta-analytic review of existing relevant literature on the evolution, controversies, and practical implications for corporate social responsibility in Sino-Africa relations. This review investigated the development of social responsibility and identified areas that will inform future studies. The study methodology was pegged on a review of articles on CSR and content analysis of CSR reports from several Chinese companies operating in Africa. In conclusion, the authors argue that there is need for a consensus to have a working definition of corporate social responsibility that suits African perspectives. Furthermore, legislation of CSR in Africa could provide clear guidelines for Chinese companies, particularly those that are smaller in size often do not publish CSR reports and struggle to meet their CSR commitments.

However, successful implementation and ultimately performance of these projects requires immense resources that may not be readily available. To overcome the financial and expertise challenges, Governments across the world enter into strategic partnerships with the private sector to help put up such infrastructure. Unlike governments, private sector is out to maximize profits hence the need to charge some fees to enable them recoup their investment. This study therefore set to determine the impact of project financing on the performance of road infrastructure development projects in Kenya. The study was anchored on resource based view theory. The study applied a mixed method approach to collect data from the target population of 199 spread out among 15 road infrastructure development projects in the country. The study utilized both primary and secondary data sources and adopted a combination of descriptive survey research design and explanatory design. For primary data collection, both closed and open-ended questionnaire were used. The questionnaire's reliability was tested through the use of the Cronbach's alpha reliability coefficient. The study also made use of a structured interview process to get more insights on the research questions. The study mainly made use of descriptive statistics to summarize data and inferential statistics and specifically the Multi linear regression were used to test hypothesis. The analysis made use of statistical packages to analyse data and these were presented in the form of tables and figures. The study found that project financing had a positive and significant influence on the performance of road projects in Kenya. The study concluded that project financing increases the amount of financing available and lower the overall risk to acceptable levels for major project stakeholders. The study recommended that it is important to identify the problem to be dealt with concerning the project, the stakeholder to be involved, outline the project goals that are to be achieved and all the relevant project tasks crucial in achieving the results of the project. The study recommended that the organization should identify the right sources of project finance.

Introduction Globally, private and public strive to remain competitive by focusing on service delivery which essentially entails providing the diverse clientele drawn from the general public with facilitative services towards the realization of socioeconomic development (Puolokaineni & Jansoo, 2019). The public service sector is highly instrumental in the determination and promotion of the quality of life of citizens at the family and community level and consequently significantly contributes to the well-being of the nation. Political environment has, however, been identified to have implications on service delivery, especially in the context of state corporations (Agboola, 2016; Usang & Salim, 2016). The political environment is primarily manifested in terms of how politicians manipulate the selection process, administrative activities, and operations of state corporations, in a way that bureaucratic principles governing the institutions fully or partially follow in the interest of the politician (Rothstein & Teorell, 2008). Globally, government institutions are mandated not only to provide services but also to be accountable for delivering services to the end-user consumers both effectively and efficiently (Alemseged & Hailay, 2019). In Ukraine, for instance, the inefficiency in government bureaucracy has been characterized by high levels of corruption, manipulated business interests, a depressed economy, and an absence of interest in the government (Fedosov & Paientko, 2017).

In Ukraine for instance, the inefficiency in government bureaucracy has been characterized by high levels of corruption, manipulated business interests, depressed economy and absence of interest in the government (Fedosov&Paientko, 2017). Further, Fedosov and Paientko report that the decisions made by the Ukrainian government were aimed at fulfilling selfish interests of the minority at the expense of the majority. Fedosov and Paientko (2017) assert that the public has limited access to services and resources, a situation that has triggered dissatisfactions in service delivery. In Nigeria, Ukeje, Ogbulu, Onyema, Obi, and Obasi (2019) argued that bureaucrats usually work for the minister who is in office at any given time and not for the interest of the people, which has leads to poor service delivery. Further, Ukeji et al. (2019) asserted that Corruption, bribery and nepotisms which is brought about by poor leadership, rigid rules and regulations has led to high rates of dissatisfactions in service delivery, more so in developing countries. As pointed out by Soffuet al. (2018), the essence of government bureaucracy is to be for the people and by the people; however, the benefits are enjoyed by the privileged few at the expense of the majority.

This situation is further complicated by the fact that around 1 billion people around the world lack basic identification (World Bank, 2018), a good number domiciled in sub-Saharan Africa. Lack of identification greatly hampers the ability of this population to take part in social, economic and political life. According to the World Disaster Report (2018) humanitarian action should be non-discriminative, however people must first be 'visible' to be identified and accessed. The World Economic Forum's Global Risk Report (2018) states that, geopolitical and environmental risks increased exponentially from 2017 to 2018. This is expected to be replicated in the coming years. Based on the UN-led Humanitarian Response Plans (2017), Syria, DRC, South Sudan, Afghanistan and Ukraine were among the hardest hit countries with affected populations of 13.6 (67%), 13.1 (56%), 7.6 (82%), 7.4 (49%) and 4 (60%) million people respectively. Closer home, the Global Humanitarian Assistance Report (2018) indicated that Kenya had a population of 5.6 million people in need of humanitarian aid representing 12% of the total population. In light of the above facts, the spotlight has turned on humanitarian organizations and specifically the humanitarian supply chain upon which humanitarian organizations are dependent. There is need for them to adopt techniques that will optimize the supply chain to enable efficiency in the flow of relief goods to disaster areas. Supply chain optimization is thus a formidable tool that can be used to enhance service delivery in humanitarian organizations (Parwanto, Mohorosi & Oyama, 2015). According to Wassenhove (2006), humanitarian relief is 80% logistics; for the intended operational objectives to be achieved therefore, it is important for effective supply chain management techniques to be adopted. In his view, the

This study focused on leadership practices in selected institutions in Nairobi-Kenya. The design of the study was exploratory and snowball sampling methodology was used. The results of this study revealed that majority of executives in Kenya practiced participative and a combination of transactional and transformational styles of leadership. Majority of the respondents indicated that most of the leaders practice effective leadership. The study respondents revealed that effective leaders are guided by a leadership philosophy. They also stated that valued-based leadership practice is at the core of effective leadership. Based on the results of these findings, the researcher proposed a value-based leadership model and several values that effective leaders ought to possess have been suggested. The conclusion made as a result of this study is that effective leadership is both task and people-oriented. A leader must always strive to strike a balance between these two.

Effect of Health Governance Structures on Provision of Health Care in Garissa County, Kenya 1. In... more Effect of Health Governance Structures on Provision of Health Care in Garissa County, Kenya 1. Introduction In recent years, governments and organizations are focused on improving governance through decentralization. The decentralization trend has been adopted in various countries in Latin America, Africa, and Asia (Rodríguez-Pose & Gill, 2003). Studies from these regions show that decentralization is an important aspect of improving governance and delivery of public service but it is faced with numerous complexities (Agrawal & Ostrom, 2001). According to Agrawal (1999) decentralization is achieved through various approaches that include, devolution, delegation, and privatization. This implies that there are different frameworks employed in decentralization of public functions based on the political, administrative, and fiscal aspects that are shared between the national and sub-national governance systems (Ahmad, Devarajan, Khemani, & Shah, 2005). The complexities emerging in the decentralization process are associated with the combinations that are executed in the sharing of political, administrative, and fiscal responsibilities. Additionally, major challenges emerge from the continuum required to facilitate the transformation from a highly centralized form of government to a decentralized and inclusive approach of governance (Musgrave, 1997). In Kenya, devolution has been adopted as a strategy of transferring authority and power from the central government through engaging a semiautonomous and sub-national structure of the county government. The 2010 constitution offers a legal framework that fosters an inclusive approach in rights-based health care delivery in the country. The law has entitled all Kenyans an opportunity to access the highest standards of health (Article 43). Additionally, Article 53 highlights the rights of all children to access basic nutrition, shelter, and healthcare. Article 56 implies that the state has the mandate to engage affirmative action that is focused on ensuring the needs of minorities and marginalized groups such as the people of Garissa county have reasonable access to water, health services, and infrastructure. In this light, the county government has to work in cooperation with the national government to increase efficiency in care delivery. The role of the county and national governments is presented in the Fourth Schedule of the constitution. The county government is in charge of basic health care, whereas the national government is in charge of health policy, county technical assistance and the management of national referral health facilities. The country's health sector consists of the

Introduction Globally, governments have shifted from the centralized and being the source of policies and service to decentralized and citizen participating in policy formulation and service delivery in the quest to improve the operations and success of governance. The devolution trend has been adopted in various countries in Latin America, Africa, and Asia (Rodríguez-Pose & Gill, 2003). Studies from these regions show that decentralization is an important aspect of improving governance and delivery of public service but it is faced with numerous complexities (Agrawal & Ostrom, 2001). According to Robson (2007) mechanism of decentralized governance is seen as both by the researchers and demonstrators as a major solution in improving the constraints faced by the centralized delivery system. Citizen participation entails involvement of the members of public in the wide range of the activities related to policy-making including the termination of service, planning, budget priorities and establishment of the performance in the county level. Citizen participation in health care entails existence of the constructions of healthcare projects in auditory and the government programs towards the needs of the Communities building public community support projects encouraging a sense of cohesiveness in the neighborhoods. Public participation interest is there for involvement of individuals and groups of individuals who are affected negatively or positively by the events which the county officials are proposing or programming to implement which are subject to decision-making processes within the County (Hirst and Pierre, 2009). Public participation is also been described as a citizen involvement in trying to identify the priorities of the local Communities program policies and the projects that are allocated resources for by the county officials (Hayden, 2007). Makumbe (1998) opine that there are various levels citizens can participate in national and local issues of the nation namely; as registered voters electing county leadership; as candidates themselves; in the making of laws through petitions; in budgeting and planning processes through memoranda; and in county referendum on major issues affecting them. Momen and Begum (2000) list various levels of citizen participation as; manipulation, thera.py, informing, consultation, placation, partnership, delegated power and citizen control.

Using data from Kenya, the objective of this paper was to determine people's awareness of legal issues, innovation tools for harnessing research data, and innovations for sustainability. This paper gives a brief history of government systems in various African countries which existed before colonization and further recommends mechanisms for promoting citizens' legal rights. The paper highlights the administration of legal rights in Kenya citing new innovative tools for general development. It recommends ways that could be embraced for promoting development; the technology system, the rule of law, constitutionalism, democracy and stakeholders' support. The paper concludes that the majority of Kenyan citizens need legal awareness. The possible outcome of the process remains uncertain and open to further stakeholders' inputs. The paper finally recommends the increasing involvement of every stakeholder which is expected to increase the rate of Africa's development for global sustainability.

In Kenya, one of the Vision 2030 objectives is to create new jobs and the growth of family businesses is important to help achieve this objective. Unfortunately, many family businesses collapse within the first few years of operation and others stagnate leading to loss of jobs and greatly affecting the Kenyan economy.Succession can be defined as the process through which the leadership of the business is transferred from the outgoing generation to the successor generation, which can either be a family member or a non-family member. A number of researchers have stated that one of the most significant factors that determine continuity of the family firm from one generation to the next is whether the succession process is planned. Companies that do not have succession plans have a lot at stake. The founder of those businesses could see their lifelong hard work dismantled or even sold to non-family members. This study sought to investigate the effect of succession planning on growth strategy among the local family businesses in the manufacturing sector in Nairobi County.

followers may not fully benefit from the socio-economic and spiritual advantages associated with church
membership. This study aimed to investigate the correlation between strategic leadership intent and ACK’s
growth. The study utilized a cross-sectional design to investigate church leadership dynamics within the
Anglican Church of Kenya, specifically focusing on strategic leadership and church growth. A sample of
315 church leaders was drawn from various administrative levels, including provincial administration
members and diocesan secretariat members, reflecting both urban and rural demographics. Proportional
stratified sampling ensured representation across different strata. Data collection involved a structured
questionnaire administered either online or in person, covering participant demographics and key research
variables. Reliability coefficients, such as Cronbach’s alpha, were computed to ensure the questionnaire’s
internal consistency. Statistical analyses, including linear regression, were conducted using SPSS to evaluate
research hypotheses. The study found that strategic leadership intent explained 19.1% of the variance in
church growth within the Anglican Church of Kenya, indicating a significant relationship between the two
factors. A one-unit increase in strategic leadership intent corresponded to a 0.438 increase in church growth,
suggesting a positive association between the two variables. These findings support the idea that effective
strategic leadership plays a crucial role in driving church growth, with nearly one-fifth of the variations in
growth attributable to strategic leadership. Overall, the results underscore the importance of strategic
leadership in fostering the growth and development of the Anglican Church of Kenya. Subsequent research
endeavors could explore distinct facets of strategic leadership to discern their individual impacts on church
growth.
