Ecotourism is gaining traction as a veritable approach to biodiversity conservation and livelihood sustenance in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA).Thesuccessof this approachrests inpart, on the governance architecture of most states in SSA.However, empirical evidence on this subject is fragmented.This shades possibilities to frame conceptual andmethodological questions to advance ecotourism governance literature. This study undertakes a review of the literature on ecotourismgovernance in SSA, using thePROFORgovernance assessment framework as analytical lens. Content analysis, descriptive and inferential statistical methodswere employed to analyse 54 published empirical articles on ecotourismgovernance. The results indicated that studies conducted in Southern Africa (38%) and EastAfrica (30%) account for close to70%of the literature on ecotourism governance in SSA. Participation was the most studied ecotourism governance principle (96%),whileefficiency was the least (15%).Kruskal-Wallis test statistic showed no significant variation in the study of ecotourismgovernance principles in the different sub regions of SSA.Methodologically, most of the studies have either employed qualitative (50%) or quantitative (33%) approaches,with few studies employing mixedmethods (17%). Future studies need to prioritize mixed-method approaches to study principles such as efficiency and equity in the analysis of ecotourism governance. Equallymore empirical research studies should be undertaken in theWest and CentralAfrica sub-regions inorder to paint a better picture of the state of ecotourism governance across sub-Saharan Africa in general.

Yes / We examine how ties with multiple host-country political institutions contribute to MNE subsidiary performance in countries with weak formal institutions. We suggest that forging relationships between subsidiaries and host-country government actors, local chieftains, and religious leaders generates regulative, normative, and cultural-cognitive political resources. We integrate institutional and configuration theories to argue that similarity to an ideal configuration of the three political resources contributes to MNE subsidiary performance, and that the more dysfunctional host country institutions, the greater the impact on performance. We test our hypotheses using primary and archival data from 604 MNE subsidiaries in 23 Anglophone sub-Saharan African countries and find support for our hypotheses. In our conclusion we discuss the wider theoretical, managerial, and public policy implications of our findings.

The aim of this research was to determine the factors that influence the participation of students from Sub-Saharan Africa at the undergraduate level of study in United States. A literature study was undertaken which defined the various aspects involved in pursuing undergraduate study in the United States as applied to international students at three types of institutions, namely: two-year community colleges, four year private colleges and four-year public colleges. Quantitative research was also undertaken, the results of which evolved from two surveys, one sent to a combined group of two-year, four-year private and public U.S. institutions and one sent out to Educational Advising Centers within Sub-Saharan Africa. The findings indicated that the primary constraints Sub-Saharan African students face are a lack of funding as well as an inability to access information. A comparison of the results of the two surveys was undertaken as well as recommendations for further research. / Educational Studies / M. Ed (Comparative Education)
