Competency-Based Curriculum Implementation and Digitalisation in Africa: Successes, Challenges and Solutions as Meta-Analysis from 2017 to 2024
The implementation of Competency-Based Curriculum (CBC) in education systems globally is crucial for equipping learners with necessary skills for the 21st century. Despite widespread adoption, significant gaps remain in educational outcomes, particularly in Sub-Saharan Africa, where nearly 50% of students are not achieving minimum proficiency in reading and mathematics. The integration of digital tools into education is posited as a critical component of CBC reform; however, many educators and institutions are struggling to effectively implement these tools within a competency-based framework. This study aims to conduct a meta-analysis of CBC implementation and digitalization challenges, successes, and solutions across Africa from 2017 to 2024. A comprehensive review of recent literature highlights the importance of value-based education, Africanizing CBC, and strategic approaches to educational reforms. However, significant gaps persist in understanding the interplay between CBC implementation and digitalization within the African context. This study will fill these gaps by providing a comprehensive meta-analysis of existing literature, exploring the challenges and successes of CBC adoption, and examining the potential of digital tools to enhance student engagement and learning outcomes.

The Importance of Emotional Intelligence in Leadership | Enhancing Performance & Engagement
Emotional intelligence (EI) has emerged as a vital component of effective leadership, enabling leaders to manage their own emotions and those of their team members to foster productive and positive workplace relationships. This paper explores the significance of EI in leadership, defining its key components and discussing how they contribute to crucial leadership outcomes such as decision-making, relationship-building, stress management, and motivation. The five core components of EI – self-awareness, self-regulation, motivation, empathy, and social skills – are interrelated competencies that empower leaders to function effectively in complex social environments. Leaders with high EI tend to have better interpersonal relationships, more effective teams, and improved organizational performance. Empirical studies highlight the positive correlation between leaders’ EI levels and employee job satisfaction, commitment, and engagement. Developing EI in leaders requires intentional training, coaching, and supportive organizational cultures. Organizations that invest in cultivating EI competencies within their leadership cadre are more likely to benefit from enhanced employee engagement, job satisfaction, and performance. In today’s dynamic and complex environments, emotional intelligence is not just a desirable trait but a critical leadership capability that organizations must prioritize to thrive.
Keywords: Emotional Intelligence, Leadership, Organizational Performance, Employee Engagement, Job Satisfaction.

A Comprehensive Review of Conflict Drivers in Mandera County Borderlands | Communal Violence in Kenya
The paper provides an overview of the patterns of communal violence in Kenya, as well as to highlight important drivers and prospective peacebuilding strategies along the borderland area in Mandera County of North Eastern Kenya. Several variables that have been identified as crucial in understanding the occurrence of violent communal conflict in Kenya include the politicised nature of ethnicity in the country, as well as the fact that elections and land tenure are intimately tied with ethnic identity. The following four primary factors that contribute to conflict were explored: electoral politics, local resources, boundaries and local authority. These factors were discussed in addition to the dynamics of national politics. The article has also emphasised that particular dynamics are at play in different conflicts. The precise way that different conflict drivers interact with one another varies from case to case, which suggests that actors who are looking to manage and resolve conflicts need to conduct comprehensive analysis of the conflict that is currently taking place. Not only does this imply that all conflicts should be viewed against the backdrop of a state and a political culture in which ethnicity is strongly politicised, but it also suggests that the impact of political dynamics at the national level on communal conflicts will differ from case to case.
Keywords: Communal Conflict, Mandera County Borderlands, Electoral Politics, Resource Competition, Ethnic Identity

Court’s Inheritance Ruling Undermines Islamic Principles
A recent Supreme Court decision on inheritance applying constitutional equality standards over Islamic law has sparked strong backlash from Muslim leaders, who argue it is a direct betrayal of their faith. They claim the ruling conflicts with the Qur’an’s meticulously outlined inheritance rules, which prescribe specific shares for relatives .
Protesters warn that the judgment undermines Article 24(4) of the Constitution, which safeguards religious freedom, and dangerously substitutes centuries of Islamic jurisprudence with secular norms . They are calling on the government to swiftly take corrective measures to restore inheritance laws that align with Sharia.
