1	Does the Mini-Holland Programme Increase Residential Housing Prices in Outer London? : Assessing the Economic and Social Implications of Active Travel Infrastructure Kees, Jessica January 2024 (has links) This study examines the impact of the Mini-Holland Programme, an active travelinfrastructure intervention, on residential housing prices in Outer London boroughs.The programme, aimed at promoting walking and cycling, may have unintendedeconomic consequences. Employing a Difference-in-Differences approach and anevent study design, I analyse housing price data from 2002 to 2022. My findingsindicate a statistically significant 10% increase in housing prices in boroughs affectedby the programme, with the effect becoming evident post-announcement in 2014.These results suggest that while active travel infrastructure can enhance urbanmobility and health, it may also contribute to rising housing costs, potentiallyexacerbating socio-economic disparities. Further research at the micro-level isrecommended to fully understand the socio-economic long-term and distributionaleffects, while policymakers must aim for the benefits of improved infrastructure whilelimiting potential displacement effects on lower-income residents.

2	An evaluation of the anti-corruption initiatives in Botswana and their relationship to Botswana's development Mwamba, Leon Tshimpaka 12 1900 (has links) The study focuses on an evaluation of the anti-corruption initiatives in Botswana and their relation to Botswana’s development. An evaluation was needed to find out whether the anti-corruption initiatives were effective and whether there were a correlation between the effectiveness of the Directorate on Corruption and Economic Crimes (DCEC) and the level of development in Botswana. This study showed that, the DCEC has succeeded to low corruption in Botswana through its most successful public education mandate and debatable good governance. The DCEC has helped to enhance service delivery in the public sector through the establishment of the Anti-Corruption Units (ACUs) within the Ministries aimed at tackling corruption in-house. Consequently, a significant slight improvement was registered in both public health and education sectors. However, that improvement was still minimal to the extent that it has been hampered by the challenging working conditions of the DCEC attributable to the inadequacy of legislation, lack of manpower, shortage of required skills and slow criminal justice system as well as the debatable independence of the DCEC, evidenced by its reporting and appointing lines. This implies that the impact of the DCEC in the development of Botswana has been minimal, as the country is still devastated by socio-economic disparities especially in rural areas. / Development Studies / M.A. (Development Studies) Botswana Least corrupt country Corruption Anti-corruption initiative Good governance Evaluation Effeciveness Accountability Transparency Socio-economic disparities African miracle Corrupation prevention National development Theory of change In-depth interview Participation observation 364.1323096883 Corruption -- Botswana -- Prevention Corruption -- Botswana -- Evaluation Corrupton -- Botswana
