ABSTRACT：
This study sought to investigate the influence of project
management practices on the performance of Sustainable
Agricultural Intensification and Food security Project in
Rwamagana District, Rwanda. Specific objectives were to find
out the influence of project planning on the performance
SAIP project in Rwamagana District; to identify the
influence of Project implementation on the performance of
SAIP project in Rwamagana District; to establish the
influence of stakeholders’ participation on the performance
SAIP project in Rwamagana District; and to examine the
influence of Project monitoring and evaluation on the
performance of SAIP project in Rwamagana District. The
researcher applied descriptive and correctional research
designs. Primary data were collected from102 respondents
(Project Manager, Project Team, Director of Agriculture
Unit, Sector agronomist, Representative of cooperatives,
Representative of water user association, Youth Group Leader
and farmer promoters) using different research methods such
as questionnaires, interviews and observation. Descriptive
and regression analysis were utilized to analyze
quantitative data using SPSS 20.0. The results were
presented using graphs and tables. Results revealed that
project planning (β1=0.191, p-value 0.029<0.05
and t=2.214) has a positive and statistical significant
influence on the performance of the project. The results
also indicated that project implementation (β2=0.396,
p-value 0.001<0.05 and t=3.339)
has a positive and statistical significant influence on the
performance of the project. Findings proved that
stakeholders’ participation (β3=0.169,
p-value 0.033<0.05 and t=2.160)
has a positive and statistical significant influence on the
performance of the project and Project monitoring and
evaluation (β4=0.228,
p-value 0.013<0.05 and t=2.538)
has a positive and statistical significant influence on the
performance of the project. Based on these findings, the
study recommended the effective planning for all project
activities, stakeholders should be involved in every step of
the project life cycle. Monitoring and evaluation has
to be done at every step of project implementation for
project to cover the scope, to be completed within time and
budget with desirable quality output and therefore achieve
beneficiaries’ satisfaction.

ABSTRACT:
This research
work is primarily aimed at determining the significance effect
of factors and other consideration on yield of plant. The method
of data collection is transcription from record from the
department of Agricultural Technology of the Federal Polytechnic
Ado-Ekiti. Analysis of variance using split plot design to
eliminate the effect of those factors accordingly after the data
analysis are concluded from the analysis of variance on yiled
that replicates (soil types) and fertilizer effect are
individually (main effect ) statistically not significance at 5%
significance level since P-value > 0.05. Also, interaction
effect of fertilizer and replicates is statistically not
significance since P-value > 0.05 accordingly.

Dispute
Resolution in Water Management and Environmental Goals

Abstract:
This
privatization of dispute resolution must be considered in the
context of our fundamental public commitment to provide
substantive justice on an equal basis to all people. We must not
close the courthouse door to those who need the courts'
protections. More justice, better administrated, is what both
proponents of new and old forms should seek. Absorption of
Alternative Dispute Resolution into public and private
institutions is pervasive.' ADR has been incorporated into court
procedures (and more inclusion is urged),government
contracts,
contracts between individuals and businesses, contracts between
businesses and businesses, and statutorily mandated
relationships. One senior partner at a major New York law firm
estimates that he spends almost half his time mediating
disputes-as a special master to the courts or by request from
attorneys involved in litigation. Much of the other half is
spent using ADR techniques to develop settlements for his own
clients. Law firms interested in exploring settlement are
increasingly resorting to ADR on their own initiative-for
example, by arranging privately choreographed "mini-trials" at
which both sides present arguments and evidence to the CEOs of
the disputing companies in environment, even as litigation is
pending in a traditional forum.
