Abstract: In the past few years, supply chains have become more complex due to new developments in technology and an increase in complexities. This has exposed them to more risks and vulnerabilities. These complexities affect the CEMAC region intensely because they do not have what it takes to properly deal with these risks or reduce the chances of the risk occurring. Even If they do, the resources are limited and more needs to be done. The evaluation is done by looking at recent trends in supply chain vulnerability within the region. Findings show that, the major type of risks and vulnerabilities faced by the CEMAC region are associated with poverty, lack of infrastructure, limited resources and political instability. The study concluded that, supply chain risks faced by the CEMAC region greatly affect their economy and relationships with other countries and that unless there is a united effort to resolve these issues and promote supply chain resilience, they will always be lacking and suffer the consequences that come with the occurrence of these risks.

Abstract: This study aimed to evaluate the contribution of social media to strategic planning in health education within Botswana's public health institutions. The objectives included assessing social media's effectiveness in achieving strategic goals, identifying gaps in the Ministry of Health (MoH) education programs, exploring how social media can improve Batswana's health through effective health education, and recommending strategies for health strategists. A positivist research methodology was employed, distributing structured questionnaires to 100 participants from the MoH and the public in Gaborone and Ramotswa village, with 93 fully completed responses analyzed using IBM SPSS Version 20.0. The findings indicated that social media is an effective tool for implementing public health education due to its broad reach. Significant gaps identified were high IT illiteracy and the Ministry's slow adoption of social media. Recommendations included using both traditional and digital media for public health education and benchmarking social media platforms from countries like Swaziland and South Africa, and the American CDC.

Abstract: In today’s business world, the ability to stand out from others is vital and it is only created and maintained to serve  as a representation of  a brand product, services and reputation within an a organization. This paper explores how government brand image through effective communication strategies enhances service delivery with a focus on County governments in Kenya. Good brand image transforms an organization into a customer - oriented and professionally acceptable. This study seeks to investigate the intricate dynamics between these three factors (Government brand image, effective communication strategies and service delivery) and understand their impact on citizen satisfaction and public perception of the county governments.  The rationale of this study is that there is a positive government brand image and effective policies in fostering citizen satisfaction have gained attention in public administration and policy-making.  However, counties have not realized the meaning and practice of creating brand images for their institutions.  This paper therefore  explores means and ways in which the county governments could increase their brand image enhancement possibly through creation of brand image, developing strong brand identity, creating an engaging website, using marketing strategies, getting feedback from customers, and improving its concrete image among others. The specific objectives of the study are to determine how the public perceive the government based on the existing brand image of County governments; assesses the role of digital media and social platform in County governments on their brand image; evaluated the current communication channels in Counties, and examine the influence of citizen engagement and participation in the County governments. This study will use mixed methods approach. Data will be analyzed descriptively, findings discussed and recommendations made.
