    Demystifying Effect of Social Innovation in Flood Remote Sensing: A Schematic Review
    (Journal of Sustainability Research, 2025) Ogbari, Mercy Ejovwokeoghene; Ingomowei, Preye Samson; Ogunnaike, Olaleke Oluseye
    Remote sensing technologies offer valuable tools for flood mitigation strategy and flood monitoring, but their effectiveness is limited by factors such as inadequate infrastructure, limited technical expertise, and the disconnect between technological solutions and local needs. Therefore, this study examines the integration of social innovation with flood remote sensing technologies in developing countries through a systematic literature review spanning 2013–2024. The study explores the systematic literature review on social innovation in reducing the effects of floods, filling the existing gaps, and evaluating the areas of interest when integrating social innovation with flood remote sensing. The study revealed that community based and participatory approaches for engagement in social innovation potentially provide a viable way to enhance flood management. The study will contributes to existing body of knowledge as well as policy makers in flood prone areas. However, further studies could conduct an empirical study to have concrete data and information on how social innovation can be used in flood remote sensing

    Sustainability in Social Entrepreneurship: Using a PRISMA Approach to Understand Poverty Reduction and Inequality Interventions in Emerging Economies
    (Ianna Journal of Interdisciplinary Studies, Volume 7, Number 2, 2025) Ogbari, Mercy Ejovwokeoghene; Ingomowei, Preye Samson; Augusta, Bosede Amaihian
    Abstract Background: Emerging economies, often characterised by significant social and economic disparities, provide a critical context for examining how social entrepreneurs can drive sustainable development to reduce poverty and inequality. It has been identified that developing countries are facing numerous problems, especially economic, social, and bio-environmental problems, such as income disparity, unequal access to education, unemployment, information asymmetry, and corruption. Objective: This study aims to investigate the role of social entrepreneurship in eradicating poverty and inequality in emerging economies, such as Sub-Saharan Africa. Methodology: This study employed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) approach to investigate sustainability in social entrepreneurship in poverty and inequality intervention in emerging countries. Studies were selected through identification, screening, eligibility, and analysis. Results: The findings underscore the potential of social entrepreneurship to contribute significantly to sustainable development goals by fostering inclusive growth and reducing disparities in areas of poverty and inequality in emerging economies Conclusion: Sustainable social entrepreneurship has transformed emerging economies by accelerating transformation, promoting social justice, and ensuring that growth benefits all members of society. 520 Ianna Journal of Interdisciplinary Studies, Volume 7, Number 2, June 2025 E-ISSN: 2735-9891 DOI: https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.15483643 Unique contribution: The study could be useful to researchers, practitioners, social entrepreneurs, and governments in making strategic investment decisions and overcoming challenges in poverty and inequity. Key Recommendation: Social entrepreneurs should collaborate with governments, commercial businesses, and community members to garner support and achieve lasting results in solving the problem of poverty and inequality in developing nations.
