Ms Ebelechukwu Maduekwe Successfully Defends Her Doctoral Thesis

Ms Ebelechukwu Maduekwe, defended her doctoral dissertation in a virtual PhD viva voce on the 15th of April, 2020. Her PhD thesis entitled, Examining the economic impact of human recognition of women farmers in Malawi, concludes that human recognition is a significant concept of human development and is instrumental to improving resource access like land. It also concludes that women are less likely to receive negative human recognition if they have educated partners and are highly educated themselves (among other conclusions).
