This book investigates the regulation and promotion of financial inclusion and provides a comparative analysis of the regulation, promotion and enforcement of the relevant laws in the SADC (in particular, South Africa, Namibia, Botswana and Zimbabwe), as well as the challenges of financial inclusion. In turn, it evaluates financial inclusion in the context of specific challenges faced by unbanked and underbanked customers, who are easy targets for cyber criminals because they tend to have lower levels of digital literacy. The book presents novel discussions that identify the challenges and flaws associated with the enforcement of financial inclusion laws and related measures intended to prom...
This handbook provides an essential reference to the pivotal and dynamic field of business and human rights from an African perspective. Grounded in human rights frameworks, it presents the status quo of the prevailing fundamental and intersectional issues related to business and human rights regulation in Africa. The handbook covers topics such as land and institutional governance, corporate social responsibility, and gender issues as some of the main themes and offers practical regulatory solutions based on doctrinal, empirical, and comparative methods. Exploring the intersection of business and human rights deepens our understanding of the legal, policy, and regulatory challenges involved and clarifies how and to what extent human rights concerns are addressed in Africa, a continent often marked by human rights violations by multinational corporations. It is hoped that the solutions provided here will help advance policy, regulatory, and legal developments related to business and human rights in Africa.

This unique handbook provides authoritative and comprehensive analysis of the (constitutional) human rights to a healthy environment in Cameroon and Africa. It explores Cameroon and African regulatory and policy interventions regarding environmental protection, systematically addressing a broad range of sub-topics in a rich discussion of the various dimensions of environmental protection. This handbook is timely, relevant, and adds to the limited existing literature on constitutional environmental governance in Cameroon and Africa, offering fresh and extensive insights into environmental protection in the region and sharing lessons that can be applied to other African countries. This handbook is undoubtedly a valuable resource for scholars of human rights, environmental protection and related fields, and a practical guide for a range of actors in environmental governance, such as state actors and non-governmental organizations in Cameroon and Africa in general.
Zimbabwe has had a chaotic foreign direct investment (FDI) regime. This has created the need for a detailed volume on the most important developments around the protection and treatment of FDI, at not only a domestic level, but also at bilateral, regional and international levels. The author argues that while Zimbabwe has now harmonised, previously scattered legislation under the Zimbabwe Investment and Development Agency Act [Chapter 14:37] and taken measures to reverse (to varying degrees) controversial policies such as the land reform programme and the Indigestion and Economic Empowerment Policy, scepticism still prevails over the investor-friendliness of the FDI regime in Zimbabwe.
