“…Consequently, donors find themselves in a Samaritan’s Dilemma [ 25 ]. A well-organised policy is a key ingredient for effective official development assistance [ 26 ]. Therefore, a policy implication from this study’s findings is that for a long-term and sustainable implementation of the Global Control and Eradication Strategy for peste des petit ruminants , attention and resources should be dedicated to motivating farmer households to co-finance vaccination against PPR.…”

Vaccination is considered as the main tool for the Global Control and Eradication Strategy for peste des petits ruminants (PPR), and the efficacity of the PPR-vaccine in conferring long-life immunity has been established. Despite this, previous studies asserted that vaccination can be expensive and consequently, the effectiveness of disease control may not necessarily translate to overall profit for farmers. Also, the consequences of PPR control on socioeconomic indicators like food and nutrition security at a macro-national level have not been explored thoroughly. Therefore, this study seeks to assess ex-ante the impact of PPR control strategies on farm-level profitability and the socioeconomic consequences concerning food and nutrition security at a national level in Senegal. A bi-level system dynamics model, compartmentalised into five modules consisting of integrated production-epidemiological, economics, disease control, marketing, and policy modules, was developed with the STELLA Architect software, validated, and simulated for 30 years at a weekly timestep. The model was parameterised with data from household surveys from pastoral areas in Northern Senegal and relevant existing data. Nine vaccination scenarios were examined considering different vaccination parameters (vaccination coverage, vaccine wastage, and the provision of government subsidies). The findings indicate that compared to a no-vaccination scenario, all the vaccination scenarios for both 26.5% (actual vaccination coverage) and 70% (expected vaccination coverage) resulted in statistically significant differences in the gross margin earnings and the potential per capita consumption for the supply of mutton and goat meat. At the prevailing vaccination coverage (with or without the provision of government subsidies), farm households will earn an average gross margin of $69.43 (annually) more than without vaccination, and the average per capita consumption for mutton and goat meat will increase by 1.13kg/person/year. When the vaccination coverage is increased to the prescribed threshold for PPR eradication (i.e., 70%), with or without the provision of government subsidies, the average gross margin earnings would be $72.23 annually and the per capita consumption will increase by 1.23kg/person/year compared to the baseline (without vaccination). This study’s findings offer an empirical justification for a sustainable approach to PPR eradication. The information on the socioeconomic benefits of vaccination can be promoted via sensitization campaigns to stimulate farmers’ uptake of the practice. This study can inform investment in PPR control.

“…Often times, when domestic resources are insufficient to power sustainable growth, government resort to seeking external assistance in the form of official development assistance (ODA) or external debts, which has implications for growth. There is an overwhelming evidence in support of a positive effect of ODA on economic growth as it is believed that ODA augments the volume of domestic resources needed to increase consumption and investment expenditures, which are critical for economic growth (Ogbuoji and Yamey, 2019;Chung and Hwang, 2022). On the other hand, the effects of external debts on economic growth are mixed.…”

The volatility in crude oil price in the global market has continuously heightened fiscal deficits in Nigeria, a net exporter of crude oil. Consequently, successive governments have often resorted to external borrowing to augment the available fiscal revenue. This has implications for economic growth. Therefore, this study evaluated the growth effect of external debt and accounted for structural break in the external debt-growth nexus in Nigeria. Annual data spanning 1981-2020 were sourced from global databases and analysed using the dynamic ordinary least square (DOLS) estimator. The result showed that external debt has growth-inhibiting effects on the Nigerian economy and that structural break matter in the analysis of the growth effect of external debt in Nigeria. The results imply that Nigeria needs to lower its external debt due to the high cost of debt servicing that accompany such debt while also improving the revenue-generating ventures in the country.
