The small and medium enterprise firms are renowned for improving the nation’s economy through the provision of job opportunities for its populace, improving the financial and investment status of the countries and provision of innovative products that meets the need of the people. SMEs are key players in the economy, through sustainable development goals (SDGs) enabling them to thrive in the open business environment and actively applying the digital transformation, promoting inclusive and sustainable industrialization should be the core of any country government. This research is designed to explore the influence of government intervention and support on enterprise performance and growth in five business sectors- Hospitality, Education, Health care, Bottled Water Production and Transport and Logistics organizations. The research paper had a descriptive research design with a randomly selected sample size of one hundred and ninety- seven respondents.The research hypotheses were tested using (Factor Analysis and Ordinal Logistic Regression Analysis) with Statistical Packages for Social Science (SPSS) version 25. The results of the study reveal that government intervention policies and intervention programmes when instituted will promote the growth of business firms in Nigeria. Also identified are relevant recommendations that serve as motivation for policy administrators, entrepreneurs, and business managers to ensure that relevant intervention programme is adopted to boost performance and growth of the SME sector in Nigeria.

BACKGROUND:Capacity constraints on implementation research among policymakers and researchers are a major challenge to the evidence to policy link. This study was designed to bring together senior policymakers and researchers in Nigeria to consider issues around research-to-policy interface and enhance their capacity on implementation research.METHODS:The design was a cross-sectional study. A 3-day joint implementation research workshop was held for policymakers and researchers using World Health Organization/TDR Implementation Research Toolkit. Assessment of participants’ capacity for evidence-informed policymaking and knowledge on implementation research was done using a 5-point Likert scale questionnaire. A postworkshop key informant interview was also conducted.RESULTS:A total of 20 researchers and 15 policymakers participated in the study. The interaction/partnership between policymakers and researchers was generally rare in terms of priority-setting process, involvement as coinvestigators, and executing strategies to support policymakers’ use of research findings. The mean ratings (MNRs) recorded mostly ranged from 1.80 to 1.89 on the 5-point scale. Researchers were rarely involved in the generation of policy-relevant research that satisfies policymakers’ needs with MNR very low at 1.74. The MNRs for capacity to acquire, assess, and adapt research were generally considerably higher among researchers (3.16–3.82) than policymakers (2.27–3.20). There was a general consensus that the training tremendously improved participants’ understanding and use of implementation research.CONCLUSION:Policymakers and researchers are increasingly recognizing their need to work with each other in the interest of the health systems. There is a need to create more capacity enhancement platforms that will facilitate the interface between them.

Type of publicationArticle (peer-reviewed) AbstractLow and middle income countries continue to struggle with limited availability of healthcare capability and resources. Recently, a variety of health information systems (HIS) projects have been piloted in an attempt to overcome these challenges by improving the quality of data to support the delivery of healthcare services from the community to hospital settings. Indeed, existing literature considers a breath of pilot HIS studies that have been undertaken in African countries. This study focuses on HIS interventions in the West African country of Nigeria. This paper conducts an archival analysis of existing literature on HIS in Nigeria published in premier Information Systems (IS) and Health Informatics outlets. This analysis provides a comprehensive picture of existing literature by identifying trends, discussing findings, and proposing new research opportunities. The 18 articles meeting the inclusion criteria are reviewed. Using a framework developed by Leon, Schneider, and Daviaud (2012), we consider current trends to elucidate the factors influencing health IS implementation in developing countries. Several challenges face IS implementation in Nigeria such as the lack of policy guidance, resistance among end users, and cultural barriers. Existing studies are limited in scope, theory, and level of analysis applied. The paper contributes to the literature by providing practical recommendations to better navigate future HIS implementations in developing countries, while also identifying avenues through which IS researchers can advance the HIS literature in an empirical, theoretical, and practical sense.
