title: Challenges faced by small, medium and micro enterprises in civil engineering projects at selected construction sites in the Free State

description: Ethics reference: 2022_FBMSREC 046Abstract: Small, Medium, and Micro Enterprises (SMMEs) play a pivotal role in driving economic growth and fostering development globally, as well as in the specific context of South Africa. This importance is particularly evident in the civil, building, and mechanical engineering industries, where SMMEs contribute significantly to the country's Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and hold the potential to alleviate poverty, reduce unemployment, and promote inclusivity and fairness. This dataset explores the multifaceted significance of SMMEs in these industries.Globally, SMMEs are recognized as engines of economic growth due to their capacity to innovate, create jobs, and generate income. In South Africa, these enterprises have a profound impact on the economy, contributing poverty alleviation and income generation social inclusion. SMMEs involvement in the civil engineering, building construction, and mechanical engineering sectors are particularly crucial, as they drive infrastructure development, job creation, and skills enhancement as a future economic jack. While, the primary objective of the study is to investigate the challenges faced by SMMEs through the broader economic trends by unidentified household brand names which influence lack of capital cash-flow based on the marketing tools.The vital role of SMMEs in South Africa's GDP and poverty reduction is underscored by their potential to create employment opportunities, especially for marginalized communities, which finds expression in in the engineering and construction sector like many other economic sectors. These enterprises facilitate skills development and contribute to localized economic growth, thereby advancing inclusivity and social equity. However, SMMEs in the civil, building, and mechanical engineering industries confront an array of challenges, including limited access to financing, inadequate skills development, regulatory hurdles, and market access constraints. This empirical study evaluated the marketing tools that will influence capital cash-flow in SMMEs. The study employed comparative methodology comprised of quantitative closed-ended questionnaire and qualitative open-ended questionnaire. Which linked well with pragmatic paradigm. The study aimed at utilising 130 SMMEs participants from the engineering sector. Backed by this dataset, the study revealed that most private sectors are engaged in supporting the growth and mentoring of SMMEs. Additionally, the Free-State government provides financial support and facilitates marketing access to the SMMEs. The study recommends that the Free-State government should intensify programmes of skills knowledge development and marketing competition to maintain capital cash-flow sustainability in SMMEs.

title: The design and review of an integrated asset-based community-led and sustainable livelihoods practice model for poverty alleviations

description: After more than two decades of democracy, South Africa is still battling with issues of poverty, inequality, unemployment, and hunger (Statistics South Africa (Stats SA), 2018). The estimates on poverty by Stats SA in their report on the Social Profile of Vulnerable Groups in South Africa (2014) reveal that many South African households are still severely affected by poverty. This is an indication that more still needs to be done to address this scourge, especially considering that the current intervention is more of a needs-based approach that is top-down. Poverty is spreading like wildfire and must be extinguished. To ensure community participation and sustainability in the achievement of project outcomes, there is a need to adopt a holistic approach in addressing community issues, focusing on their strengths and assets to attain sustainable livelihood. This means that all factors at play such as social, economic, physical, political, social and natural assets need to be considered when tackling development issues. United, focused and collective efforts need to be encouraged from the grassroots level with an emphasis on the strengths and assets of the community members. This calls for a shift from concentrating on local deficiencies and external assets towards concentrating on the strengths and assets of communities.

title: Homegarden improved avocado cultivation, income diversification, and food security for rural households in Central Ethiopia

description: Homegarden avocado cultivation offers a viable option for smallholder farmers to diversify their sources of income and food. This study examined the contribution of avocado cultivars to household income diversification and food security in the Jewe and Upper Gana kebeles of Central Ethiopia. Data were collected from 164 households using a semi-structured questionnaire and supplemented with focus group discussions. The results of this study indicated that Nabal, Hass, and Ettinger were the most commonly cultivated avocado cultivars. On average, the households owned four improved avocado trees. This study revealed that households had highly diversified income sources, with an average SID value of 0.63. The average fruit yields for the Nabal, Hass, and Ettinger cultivars ranged from 45 to 60 kg per household. These cultivars contributed approximately 14% and 10% of the household income sources and food consumption scores, respectively. This study found that, on average, households consumed 40 kg of Hass and 25 kg of Ettinger fruits, and sold 55 kg of Nabal and 25 kg of Ettinger fruits per harvest season. Improved avocado cultivation was positively associated with household income and food consumption. Local governments should encourage cultivation of these cultivars to enhance income and food security for farmers. The cultivation of improved avocado cultivars has sparked significant interest among Ethiopian smallholder farmers owing to the potential benefits offered by the different cultivars. This study examines how avocado cultivars contribute to household income diversification and food consumption among smallholder farmers in Central Ethiopia. The findings indicated that Nabal, Hass, and Ettinger were the most commonly grown avocado cultivars, which significantly contributed to household income sources and food consumption. Furthermore, 64% of the total avocado harvest was used to generate household income, while 36% was used for food consumption. Expanding these three avocado cultivars has the potential to maximise economic profits, enhance food and nutrition security, and support demand-driven avocado farming practices, both within the country and beyond. Consequently, these findings provide valuable information to local government agricultural extension experts, fruit tree development partners, avocado seedling production enterprises, and smallholder avocado farmers. The results can also guide policymakers in developing local-specific enabling policy frameworks that encourage the cultivation of these avocado cultivars on a wider scale, thereby enhancing food security and household income generation.
