Cette croissance assortie de fortes prévisions au cours des trois, voire quatre prochaines décennies, se fonde sur la démographique et l’urbanisation à grande échelle, l’exploitation de nouveaux gisements, de champs gaziers et pétrolifères d’une part; et d’autre part sur l'accroissement des échanges commerciaux intra régionaux et internationaux. L’on s’attend à ce que le secteur du transport ferroviaire, qui, grâce à sa politique d’efficacité énergétique, a permis de réduire les émissions de gaz à effet de serre et de baisser le coût de la tonne au kilomètre, comparativement aux autres modes de transport, joue un rôle plus important encore dans le monde du transport des marchandises sur de longues distances, ainsi que dans les réseaux de transport en commun en milieu interurbain et urbain.

  • The Economic Benefits of Vocational Education and Training in the Kingdom of Eswatini
    The Economic Benefits of Vocational Education and Training in the Kingdom of Eswatini GUGULETHU MGABHI1* AND MANGALISO MOHAMMED1 1Eswatini Economic Policy Analysis and Research Centre, Mbabane, Eswatini *Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract. This study assesses the economic benefits of the Government of Eswatini’s investment to technical vocational education and training (TVET) from 2005 to 2017. TVET Graduates from 12 public TVET Institutions have been tracked to uncover their absorbability in the labour market and, or self-employment. The study finds that the economic return of the Government of Eswatini’s investment to TVET in 2017 is E1,51. This means that for every E1 invested by the Government of Eswatini to TVET, the economy generates E1,51 through the TVET graduates’ activities in self-employment, formal employment, and part-time skills utilisation. With regards to highly demanded courses amongst the graduates, ccomputer studies have been found to be highly demanded at 20.9%, while agriculture is lowly demanded at 6.3%. The study finds that 56.6% of the graduates are absorbed in formal employment, while 13.7% are engaged in self-employment, meaning that 29.9% are part of the 32.4% unemployed persons in the country. However, the level of unemployment is still high, 43.3%. Graduates who were not economically active before enrolling at the TVET colleges have been found to be formally employed, 35%, 14% are self-employed, 2.5% are both formally and self-employed, while 48.5% are unemployed. A majority (58.5%) of employed graduates are from Gwamile VOCTIM, while self-employment is high amongst graduates from Big Bend Rural Education Centre, 44.4%.

  • Economic Impact Analysis of Credit Guarantee Schemes
    Economic Impact Analysis of Credit Guarantee Schemes in Eswatini: Exploring the relationship between A Case of the Small Scale Enterprise Loan unemployment and mental illness among the Guarantee Scheme (SSELGS) youth in selected communities of Eswatini. By Maqhawe Zwane 2019 Economic Impact Analysis of Credit Guarantee Schemes in Eswatini: A Case of the Small Scale Enterprise Loan Guarantee Scheme (SSELGS) By Maqhawe Zwane Abstract Using data from 315 beneficiaries of the Small Scale Enterprise Loan Guarantee Scheme, this study assesses the impact of the Small Scale Loan Guarantee Scheme. The study assessed both the financial and economic additionality of the scheme. The study used a structured questionnaire and face-to-face interviews to elicit data from beneficiaries whereas key informant interviews were used to elicit data from participating banks. The study also assessed visibility of the scheme as well as its efficiency in terms of loan approval period and claim processes. From the sampled beneficiaries, 174 SMEs would not have accessed credit if the scheme was non-existent. Collectively, these SMEs received E42, 918,616.00. On the other hand, 72 of the 174 started new businesses and at the time of the interview, they collectively employ 681 people. The study found that the default rate is high at 44.3 %. The approval period of loan application varies widely, with some respondents reporting a period of less than a month while others reported a period of up to four years. The study concludes that the scheme has made a positive impact in both financial and economic additionality. However, two factors (inefficiency in scheme’s operation and high default rate) threaten the scheme’s existence.

  • Customer Relationship Value in the Business-To-Business Railway Market of Southern Africa
    Customer Relationship Value in the Business-to-Business Railway Market of Southern Africa by Noanne Botha submitted in accordance with the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF ADMINISTRATION in the subject Business Management at the UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH AFRICA SUPERVISOR: Prof Peet Venter November 2019 1 DECLARATION Name: Noanne Botha Student number: 55321049 Degree: DAdmin (Business Management) I declare that Relationship Value in the Business-to-Business (B2B) Railway Industry of Southern Africa is my own work and that all the sources that I have used or quoted have been indicated and acknowledged by means of complete references. ________________________ 19 November 2019 Signature: N Botha Date 2 ABSTRACT This study involves establishing imperative customer relationship value anteced- ents and mediators within the business-to-business (B2B) railway industry of Southern Africa and determining whether these relationship value antecedents and mediators will achieve customer retention as an outcome. The goal is to create a conceptual model for the B2B railway industry of Southern Africa, which will be done through reviewing well-established theories and past literature on the topics of relationship marketing, relationship value, and retention within the B2B industry. After an examination of the existing literature, a proposed concep- tual model will be developed and tested using confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) with a sample of 265 B2B supplier companies operating in the Southern African railway market. The CFA represents the measurement model of this research, which proposes the relationship value antecedents, mediators, and their influ- ence on retention within the B2B railway industry of Southern Africa. Secondly, structural equation modelling (SEM) will be conducted, in order to test relation- ships with latent factors.

  • Swaziland Protected Areas PRODOC
    PROJECT DOCUMENT Kingdom of Swaziland United Nations Development Programme Global Environment Facility Strengthening the National Protected Areas System of Swaziland GEFSEC PROJECT ID: 5065; GEF AGENCY ID: PIMS 4932; AWARD ID: 00081957 Brief Description: Swaziland lies between latitudes 25° and 28° south and 31° and 32° east in the south eastern part of Africa. The country is a landlocked country covering an area of 17,364 km2, with South Africa in the north, west and south, and Mozambique in the east. Although Swaziland is small in size, it has great variation in landscape, geology, climate, ecosystems and species that make up the four physiographic regions. Despite the global significance of its biodiversity, Swaziland’s formal Protected Area (PA) estate is comprised of relatively small and vulnerable PAs, covering only 3.9% of the country and inadequately representing the countries varied ecosystems. There is therefore a need to expand the PA estate, while strengthening PA management competencies. This will in turn require the participation of a broad range of stakeholders, including private landholders, local communities and the tourism industry, to establish new State PA, private and community managed reserves. A landscape approach is needed, to strategically place these different PAs in proximity to one another, and manage land in immediately adjacent areas to reduce threats to biodiversity and improve connectivity between the PA sites. The long term solution is that Swaziland adopts a landscape conservation paradigm that allows a broader range of stakeholders to work together to manage biodiversity more effectively. Under this approach, PAs will be established and managed in critical biodiversity areas as clusters—different sites managed by the State, private landowners and communities in proximity to one another.
