Data was collected from both primary and secondary sources. The primary data has been collected from 324 members’ coffee farmers’ cooperative and 66 administrative staffs of primary cooperatives. Secondary data has been obtained from primary cooperatives, unions and cooperative promotional office of the district (Woredas) reports. Besides, journal and books have also been used as secondary sources. Descriptive statistics such as frequency and standard deviation has been used to identify the status of partnership. Multi stage probability and nan-probability sampling has been undertaken. The result of descriptive statistics indicated that the status of value chain partnership sub construct such as openness, equality and conflict management in partnership between members and management of primary cooperative were weak. Coffee framers cooperatives and management were advised to focus their attention on enhancing relationship and linkage through partnership. It is better to develop two way communications between primary cooperative employees and members of the cooperative organizations.<#LINE#>World Economic Forum Financing for Development Initiative (2005).@Building on the Monterrey Consensus: The Growing Role of Public-Private Partnerships in Mobilizing Resources for Development, WEF, Geneva.@@Yes$Frank F. and Smith A.

<#LINE#>The aftermath of female sexual objectification: Evidence from restaurants and beer lounges in Harare, Zimbabwe<#LINE#>Mapira @Nyasha <#LINE#>9-11<#LINE#>2.ISCA-RJMS-2017-005.pdf<#LINE#>Department of Human Resources Management, Great Zimbabwe University, Zimbabwe<#LINE#>16/2/2017<#LINE#>4/4/2017<#LINE#>The paper sought to assess the effects of female sexual objectification in restaurants and beer lounges in Zimbabwe. A qualitative research design was used. Thirty three employees were interviewed and purposive sampling method was used in selecting participants. Data was analyzed using thematic analysis. It has emerged from the study that female objectification leads to negative mental, psychological and social effects ranging from eating disorders, drug abuse and being viewed as outcast in the society. Some participants expressed doubts on some of the alleged effects citing that maybe they are yet to experience the effects. As recommendations, employers must inform females before hand on the negative effects of sexual objectifications.<#LINE#>Dirks D.
