The Influence of Microfinance Institutions on Nigerian Small, Micro, and Medium Enterprises
Purpose: Poverty is a significant concern in most countries, including Nigeria, which has been dubbed the world's poverty capital. Most developing countries regard small, micro, and medium-sized companies (SMMEs) as a sure strategy to reduce poverty by lowering a country's unemployment rate. Microfinance institutions (MFIs), especially banks, were commissioned by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) to cater to self-employed people and businesses. There is compelling evidence that MFIs are not doing enough and are failing to fulfill their mandate. As a result, this paper sought to investigate the impact MFIs have on SMMEs in Nigeria.
Design/methodology/approach: This descriptive study, made use of a convenience sample strategy to collect survey data from 384 SMMEs in two Nigerian states: Abuja and Nasarawa. Data was collected from 350 respondents.
Findings: The findings showed that MFIs significantly influenced SMMEs regarding technology transfer and financial services and aided SMME (small, medium, and micro enterprises) growth. MFIs in Nigeria are ineffective in offering the services of aspects of facilitator of SMEs growth, tool for social change, provider of banking services to the people and transferor of technology.
Practical implications: The CBN should make sure that MFIs, especially the banks focus more on servicing SMMEs. MFIs should do more in the areas of sensitiation and tailor their products to suit their customer base.
Originality/value: There are limited studies on the Nigerian context for SMMEs and MFIs.

Unearthing Financial Wisdom Exploring the Factors Shaping Financial Literacy among Agribusiness Entrepreneurs in Zimbabwe
Agribusiness serves as the cornerstone of the Zimbabwean economy, with a significant portion of the population relying on agricultural-related pursuits for sustenance. However, the concerning financial practices exhibited by agribusiness entrepreneurs, coupled with lackluster sectoral performance, present pressing issues. These issues manifest as pronounced instances of financial exclusion, loan defaults, and diminished productivity within the sector. The primary focus of this study was to assess the financial literacy of agribusiness entrepreneurs and elucidate the principal determinants of this literacy, employing the theoretical framework of the lifecycle hypothesis. The research design employed was explanatory in nature, involving the collection and subsequent quantitative analysis of data via questionnaires. The study encompassed a population of 172,221 agribusiness farmers hailing from five distinct districts in Zimbabwe, namely Mutare, Mt Darwin, Mutoko, Gweru, and Masvingo. To ensure a representative sample, a sample size of 623 was calculated utilizing the Slovin formula. The research outcomes unveiled an overall deficiency in financial literacy within the agribusiness sector, particularly pronounced among women, individuals with low incomes, those possessing limited educational attainment, and those supporting multiple dependents below the age of 18. As a crucial recommendation, the study advocates for the implementation of mandatory financial literacy courses at both the primary and secondary education levels. Such an intervention could contribute significantly to addressing the identified shortcomings in financial literacy among agribusiness entrepreneurs and subsequently foster more prudent financial behaviors within the sector
The Role of the Owner's Accompanying Consultant in the Planning and Design Stage of Government Building Construction
Banyak proyek pemerintah terutama insfrastruktur yang masuk kategori kompleks, ditangani oleh kementerian teknis, dalam hal ini kemen PUPR. Namun tidak sedikit proyek konstruksi yang tidak masuk kategori kompleks dan bersifat khusus yang ditangani oleh kementerian atau lembaga pemerintah non instansi teknis. Untuk kasus yang pertama, owner dapat menggunakan konsultan MK namun untuk kasus yang kedua tidak memenuhi kriteria penggunaan konsultan MK, sehingga owner/PPK menggunakan jasa tenaga ahli sebagai pendamping selama proses persiapan dan perencanaan teknis. Penelitian ini akan mengkaji peran tenaga eksternal diuar konsultan perencana sebagai konsultan pendamping owner (KPO) selama proses desain. Dengan metode content validitas ratio (CVR) atas pendapat 15 pakar dibidang desain dan jasa konstruksi, diperoleh 14 peran tenaga pendamping owner.

Economic Feasibility Analysis of The Construction of The Tanjung Kramat (HM. Agus) Road Section of East Kutai District
Road construction is very much needed in an effort to improve the regional economy, open access to the distribution of goods/services & people as well as in regional development efforts. This activity requires technical and economic planning to ensure that the activity is feasible to carry out. For this reason, it is necessary to conduct an analysis of the economic feasibility of constructing the Tanjung Keramat (HM. Agus) road in East Kutai Regency. This analysis uses the compound interest calculation method, Net Present Value (NPV) and Benefit Cost Ratio (BCR). The results obtained from the BOQ and RAB calculations showed that the total construction costs were Rp. 46,600,000,000.00. The results of the present value calculation over a 20 year life of construction costs + routine & periodic maintenance costs are Rp. 65,677,946,740.00. The results of calculating the benefits of Vehicle Operational Costs (BOK) for BENEFITS' current value are IDR 276,921,095,567.00. The results of the economic feasibility are declared "WORTH IT" to run because the results of the calculation of the NPV value are IDR 276,921,095,567.00 > than 1 and the BCR value is 4.22 > 1 NVP>1 so that the investment in road construction is a "WORTH IT" investment to carry out
Pathways for rural-based universities transformation into entrepreneurial institutions in South
For close to three decades, the entrepreneurial university has been growing at a slow pace in the developed countries but recently the developing countries have raised interest in adopting the concept. However, most universities in developing nations including in South Africa have largely relied on Eurocentric frameworks to guide them in adopting the entrepreneurial thrust into their strategic plans. This generic approach can be detrimental given the economic disparities, digital divide, and local needs between developed and developing universities. Therefore, drawing lessons from literature and case studies, the current paper seeks to contextualise the adoption of entrepreneurial universities in rural-based universities of South Africa. The paper seeks to demonstrate how a rural-based university can transform and embrace entrepreneurial drivers and components. A systematic review approach was followed to search and synthesise literature from Web of Science and Scopus databases. The bibliometrics program was utilised to statistically quantify scholarly material and the distribution of science on entrepreneurial knowledge while the Atlas ti 9 software platform was used to synthesise literature. Results showed that drivers of entrepreneurial universities are influenced by local socio-economic conditions and thus, rural-based universities need to conduct baseline studies that inform their implementation strategies. Suggested conceptual pathways to entrepreneurial transformation include curriculum rethink, inculcation of the entrepreneurial culture, enhancement of partnerships with local businesses and improvement of internationalisatio
