The prevalence, intensity and some vector dynamics of malaria in two communities of Anambra East Local Government Area LGA was carried out using standard parasitological and entomological techniques for rapid assessment of malaria infection, level of parasitaemia and morphological features of mosquitoes. Results showed an overall malaria RDT (Rapid Diagnostic Test) prevalence of 22% and community based prevalence of 13 (30%) and 22(24%) for Umuoba -Anam and Nando respectively. Overall, age related prevalence in the Anambra West LGA showed that the age bracket 35 to 42 years had the highest malaria prevalence 3(42.9 %). Overall sex related prevalence in Anambra East LGA showed no statistical significance in prevalence among males (12.0%) and females (10.0%) (P500-2000 parasites/µl) parasitaemia. There was no high parasitaemia recorded in Umuoba-Anam. Overall, a total of 225 mosquitoes were encountered with anopheles making up 61%. A hundred and twenty one (53.8% of the total mosquito population in the study was found to be unfed with blood meal whereas 54(24%) and 50 (22.2%) were freshly and previously fed respectively. One hundred and twenty one (53.8%) of the mosquitoes appeared non-gravid against 82(36.4%) that are gravid. The mosquitoes encountered were Anopheles gambiae 31(13.8%), Anopheles funestus 77(34.22%), and Culex Specie 117(52%). The two communities recorded variations in prevalence, intensity and vector dynamics. There should be intensified effort to continuously educate the masses on all the strategies of malaria prevention.
Doutoramento em Estudos de Desenvolvimento ; Trade to industry transition in Anambra that began in the 1980s and keeps growing could hold hope for Africa's increasing population. Pioneer Anambra manufacturers began during post-Civil War recovery after trading and capital accumulation. Years of trade specialization, networking and link with foreign manufacturing firms aided the birth and growth of indigenous manufacturing firms. The business environment has adapted to security, economic and other situations over the years. This thesis is made up of two parts, A and B with three and four chapters, respectively. Related literature employed in the first part of traced the root of a better business environment, trade specialization, big businesses, the effects of the Civil War, public policies and programmes. An ethnographic study that involved a three months field work in Anambra building on the works of previous scholars was carried out to get the current state of the firms. It began with a two weeks pilot study. Afterwards, participant observation, interviews and focus group discussions were employed in getting the data presented in the second part of the thesis. The state of industries in Onitsha shows that some of the first-generation firms have closed. The remaining one has also invested in other businesses across Nigeria and the initial industry is now in its shadows. The second-generation firms have grown and the third are struggling to stand. Though each firm struggles to survive, they support each other by clustering and rare political attention leaves them to fate. Nnewi reveals that some of the manufacturing firms that began in the first industrial wave have closed after infrastructural and macroeconomic issues. Some have divested into other economic ventures and the survivors have grown. Same with those in the second and third industrial waves in Nnewi. The surviving firms presented in the fifth and sixth chapter are actively engaged in the economic, social and political activities in the state. Two interviews conducted with a Civil Servant and Politician are presented in this chapter to get the government's response to complaint from the private sector. Like multiple taxation which they see as the unwillingness to paying taxes. Anambra state government recently attracted considerable agro-investment in the state. Such is needed in the manufacturing sector to boost the local and regional economy and meet their needs. In this last chapter, the thesis also looks at opportunities provided by formal institutions in Africa that Anambra manufacturing firms can key into to meet the needs of the region and boost intra-regional trade. The chapter explores the prospects and challenges confronting Anambra as a possible continental hub. ; A transição do comércio para a indústria em Anambra, iniciada na década de 1980 e que continua crescendo, pode ter esperança para o aumento da população da África. Os fabricantes pioneiros de Anambra começaram durante a recuperação pós-Guerra Civil após o comércio e a acumulação de capital. Anos de especialização comercial, criação de redes e vínculo com empresas estrangeiras de fabricação ajudaram o nascimento e o crescimento de empresas indígenas. O ambiente de negócios se adaptou às situações de segurança, econômicas e outras ao longo dos anos. Esta tese é composta de duas partes, A e B, com três e quatro capítulos, respectivamente. A literatura relacionada empregada na primeira parte traçou a raiz de um melhor ambiente de negócios, especialização comercial, grandes empresas, os efeitos da Guerra Civil, políticas e programas públicos. Um estudo etnográfico que envolveu um trabalho de campo de três meses em Anambra, com base nos trabalhos de acadêmicos anteriores, foi realizado para obter o estado atual das empresas. Tudo começou com um estudo piloto de duas semanas. Posteriormente, a observação participante, entrevistas e discussões em grupos focais foram empregadas na obtenção dos dados apresentados na segunda parte da tese. O estado das indústrias em Onitsha mostra que algumas das empresas de primeira geração fecharam. O restante também investiu em outros negócios em toda a Nigéria e o setor inicial está agora nas sombras. As empresas de segunda geração cresceram e a terceira está lutando para se manter. Embora cada empresa se esforce para sobreviver, elas se apoiam agrupando-se e rara atenção política as deixa no destino. Nnewi revela que algumas das empresas de manufatura que começaram na primeira onda industrial fecharam após problemas de infraestrutura e macroeconômica. Alguns se desinvestiram em outros empreendimentos econômicos e os sobreviventes cresceram. O mesmo acontece com os da segunda e terceira ondas industriais em Nnewi. As empresas sobreviventes apresentadas no quinto e sexto capítulo estão ativamente engajadas nas atividades econômicas, sociais e políticas do estado. Duas entrevistas realizadas com um funcionário público e político são apresentadas neste capítulo para obter a resposta do governo às queixas do setor privado. Como tributação múltipla que eles vêem como a falta de vontade de pagar impostos. O governo do estado de Anambra recentemente atraiu um considerável investimento agrícola no estado. Isso é necessário no setor manufatureiro para impulsionar a economia local e regional e atender às suas necessidades. Neste último capítulo, a tese também analisa as oportunidades oferecidas por instituições formais na África nas quais as empresas de manufatura da Anambra podem se beneficiar para atender às necessidades da região e aumentar o comércio intra-regional. O capítulo explora as perspectivas e os desafios que a Anambra enfrenta como um possível centro continental. ; info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion
Kritische Analyse der entwicklungspolitischen Mißwirtschaft während der Regierungszeit der NPP unter Gouverneur Jim Nwobodo in Anambra State; umfangreiche Textdokumentation im zweiten Teil des Buches
The study evaluated how Cooperatives could be used to empower women in Awka South local Government Area of Anambra State. The researcher used Frequency distribution table and percentage to turn the qualitative characteristic into numerical forms. Likert scale analysis was used to examine the perception of member on how cooperative services have brought about an enhancement to their economic well being as represented by income. Further analysis was under taken to measure the effects of cooperative services such as credit extension, input supply, marketing, processing agricultural production on their income. To accomplish this, a multiple regression analysis was employed. Evidence from the study revealed that educational level has marginal contribution of 317.032 with a t ratio of 2.009 which is significant at 5 level of significance. Family size has marginal contribution of 854.265 with t ratio of 1.682 which is significant at 1 level of significance. The value of agricultural product marketed through women cooperative has a marginal contribution of .977. The t value is 23.728 which are significant at 1 level. This result also shows that marketing through cooperative is positively related to income of the members. The value of agricultural product processed through women cooperative has a marginal contribution of .008. The t value is 1.346 which is highly significant at 1 and 5 level of probability. This result also shows that value of processed product is positively related to income, as the processed product increases, income increases. The amount of input procured has a marginal contribution of .173. The t value is 4.037 which are highly significant at 1 . Thus there is a high degree contribution of input procured by the members of women cooperative to their income. This result also shows that input has a positive relationship with income that is as the amount of input increases, income level increases. Thus input is relatively significant determinant of income of women cooperative societies in Awka south. In ...
This study is based on a survey of 60 rice farmers in Anambra State, Nigeria. It estimates and compares the rice output from traditional farms using only manual labor and that from farms using tractors. It also estimates labor input and the costs and returns of production in both systems of farming
Knowledge of hydraulic properties of groundwater aids economic and environmentally friendly exploitation of water resources in water-scare rural area such as Okija. In this study therefore, the aquifer constants are evaluated for Okija town in Ihiala Local Government Area of Anambra State, Nigeria to facilitate efficient and effective exploitation of the water resources in the area. The drawdown test involved pumping down the water level and monitoring the response of hydraulic head in the surrounding aquifer. The computation of formation constants is performed in three ways: Theis method, Cooper-Jacob method and Chow method. Model Selection Criterion (MSC was used to evaluate the discharge predictions from the three methods. The results show that transmissivity and storage coefficient for Theis method are 256. 37 m2/day and 146.67 m2/day; Cooper-Jacob method are 251.71 m2/day and 131 m2/day, and chow method are 2 67.87 m2/day and 146.67 m2/day respectively. This work represents a practical and novel approach to the determination of a key hydrogeological parameter for a highly transmissive aquifer. Keywords—.Aquifer constants, Theis method, Cooper-Jacob method, Chow method, Okija
