Rege, John Edward Otieno and Sones, Keith
Sub-Saharan African countries were categorized with regard to their capacity for agricultural biotechnology research and application, including human capacities,
i nstitutions and facilities, operational budgets and existence of facilitating networks. For the crop and livestock sectors combined, no countries were categorized as having ‘very high’ capacity; only South Africa was categorized
as ‘high’; and three countries, Ethiopia, Kenya and Nigeria, were categorized as
‘medium’. All other SSA countries were categorized as having ‘low’ or ‘very
low’ capacity. Capacity was generally higher for crops than for livestock. For the
crop sector, South Africa was categorized as ‘very high’; Cameroon, Ethiopia, Ghana, Kenya, Nigeria, Sudan, Tanzania, Uganda and Zimbabwe as ‘high’; and
Botswana, Burkina Faso, Côte d’Ivoire, DRC, Madagascar, Malawi, Mali,
Mozambique, Namibia, Rwanda, Senegal, Eswatini and Zambia as ‘medium’
capacity. For livestock, South Africa was ‘high’ and Kenya and Nigeria ‘medium’. Strong links to international partners, such as hosting a CGIAR centre, tended to be associated with higher capacity.

Kinuthia, Jane; Githui, Perminus
Effective supervision is a critical component in postgraduate studies, particularly in the development of research proposals and dissertations. The supervision process involves the provision of guidance, direction, and support to students as they undertake their research projects. Studies have shown that the effectiveness of supervision techniques can have a significant impact on the quality of postgraduate research projects. However, there is limited research on students'
perceptions of the effectiveness of supervision techniques, particularly in the context of Kenyan universities. This study explored students' perceptions of the effectiveness of supervision techniques in proposal and dissertation development, specifically in the humanities and social sciences disciplines in Kenyan universities. The findings of the study provide insights into the types of supervision techniques that postgraduate students perceive to be effective and how these techniques influence their research progress and outcomes. Additionally, the study identified opportunities for improving the effectiveness of supervision in the context of Kenyan universities
