PPP Owner: Ministry of Transport and Infrastructure (MoTI). Master Plan Study Team The Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) Study Team (JST), consisting of the following 16 experts, undertook the Master Plan study: Team Leader/ Development Planning; Logistics Plan; Infrastructure Development; Logistics Infrastructure 1; Logistics Infrastructure 2 (Railway); Freight Traffic Analysis and Demand Forecasting; Industrial Development and Investment Promotion; Public-Private Partnership; Mineral Resources and Energy; Power; Agriculture and Agri-Business; Urban Development/Land Use Specialist; Water; Economist (Socio Economic Analysis); Environmentalist (Social and Environmental Considerations); and Coordinator/Human Resource Development. Northern Economic Corridor The Northern Economic Corridor (NEC) is a multi-modal corridor, consisting of road, rail, pipeline, and inland waterways transport, and is recognized as a significant corridor for logistics in East Africa. The main road network runs from Mombasa Sea Port through Kenya and Uganda, to Rwanda and Burundi, and to the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). The road network also links Kenya and Uganda to Juba in South Soudan. There are some obstacles presently in the NEC that have led to an increase in transport costs and significant time delays within the NEC ENVIRONMENTAL RESOURCES MANAGEMENT JST/MOTI I and have hindered the economic development of the region, specifically inland areas. These obstacles include: inadequate infrastructure; poor connectivity of modes; long delays of cargo at the port and border posts; and lack of goods to transport for the return trip from the inland area to Mombasa port. Based on these obstacles, the overall objective of the Master Plan is to improve logistics for the NEC as well as to provide an integrated regional development strategy consistent with sub-regional and national development plans. It is hoped that this will: spur regional economic development within Kenya, as well as Uganda, improve the development of the industrial, agricultural, mining, petroleum, manufacturing and tourism sectors, lead to transport and logistics infrastructure development, result in an efficient and integrated multi-modal transportation system, result in the diversification of financial sources for infrastructure through PPP arrangements and infrastructure bonds, and reduce the bottlenecks to efficient cargo transportation, such as road and port congestion, as well as cross border delays. Master Plan Development Vision and Strategies The development vision for the NEC is: ‘to be the leading economic corridor with integrated transport and logistics systems in Africa’. The Development Vision has four key words/phrases which make the NEC distinct from other corridors, and these are: leading, to be the leading, most efficient and reliable in Africa and the success can be applied to other corridors, integrated transportation system, which offers diversified and multi-modal options (road, rail, waterway, and pipeline) and facilitates regional integration in East Africa, integrated logistic hub, in which multi-modal options are available, and industrial areas connected and promoted by transport and logistic infrastructure, economic corridor, stimulate regional economic development in the area surrounding the corridor through development of ENVIRONMENTAL RESOURCES MANAGEMENT JST/MOTI II transport infrastructure, logistic facilities and creating industries (JST, 2016). The proposed Development Vision will be attained through the implementation of 5 strategies, namely regional, industrial, and transport strategies, which will be strengthened by organizational and policy strategy as illustrated in Figure 0.1 below. Figure 0.1 Proposed Five Strategies for the NEC Source: JST, 2016 Master Plan Target Areas: The target area of the Master Plan study covers the following routes and surrounding areas (1): Main route o Mombasa – Nairobi – Tororo –Kampala – Katuna – Kigali (Rwanda) Sub-routes o Eldoret – Nadapal – Juba (South Sudan) o Tororo – Gulu – Elegu – Juba o Kampala – Gulu – Elegu – Juba o

    KENYA ELECTION HISTORY 1963-2013 1963 Kenya Election History 1963 1963: THE PRE-INDEPENDENCE ELECTIONS These were the last elections in pre-independent Kenya and the key players were two political parties, KANU and KADU. KADU drew its support from smaller, less urbanized communities hence advocated majimboism (regionalism) as a means of protecting them. KANU had been forced to accept KADU’s proposal to incorporate a majimbo system of government after being pressured by the British government. Though KANU agreed to majimbo, it vowed to undo it after gaining political power. The majimbo constitution that was introduced in 1962 provided for a two-chamber national legislature consisting of an upper (Senate) and lower (House of Representative). The Campaign KADU allied with the African People’s Party (APP) in the campaign. KANU and APP agreed not to field candidates in seats where the other stood a better chance. The Voting Elections were marked by high voter turnout and were held in three phases. They were widely boycotted in the North Eastern Province. Violence was reported in various parts of the country; four were killed in Isiolo, teargas used in Nyanza and Nakuru, clashes between supporters in Machakos, Mombasa, Nairobi and Kitale. In the House of Representative KANU won 66 seats out of 112 and gained working majority from 4 independents and 3 from NPUA, KADU took 47 seats and APP won 8. In the Senate KANU won 19 out 38 seats while KADU won 16 seats, APP won 2 and NPUA only 1. REFERENCE: NATIONAL ELECTIONS DATA BOOK By Institute for Education in Democracy (published in 1997).

    KENYA and TANZANIA TRIP REPORT Sept 25-Oct 23, 2009 PART 1 - Classic Kenya text and photos by Adrian Binns Sept 25 / Day 1: Blue Post Thika; Castle Forest We began the morning with an unexpected Little Sparrowhawk followed by a Great Sparrowhawk, both in the skies across the main road from the Blue Post Hotel in Thika. The lush grounds of the Blue Post are bordered by the twin waterfalls of the Chania and Thika, both rivers originating from the nearby Aberdare Mountain Range. It is a good place to get aquatinted with some of the more common birds, especially as most can be seen in close proximity and very well. Eastern Black-headed Oriole, Cinnamon-chested Bee- eater, Little Bee-eater, White-eyed Slaty Flycatcher, Collared Sunbird, Bronzed Mannikin, Speckled Mousebird and Yellow-rumped Tinkerbird were easily found. Looking down along the river course and around the thundering waterfall we found a pair of Giant Kingfishers as well as Great Cormorant, Grey Heron and Common Sandpiper, and two Nile Monitors slipped behind large boulders. A fruiting tree provided a feast for Yellow-rumped Seedeaters, Violet-backed Starlings, Spot-flanked Barbet (right), White-headed Barbet as a Grey-headed Kingfisher, an open woodland bird, made sorties from a nearby perch. www.wildsidenaturetours.com www.eastafricanwildlifesafaris.com © Adrian Binns Page 1 It was a gorgeous afternoon at the Castle Forest Lodge set deep in forested foothills of the southern slope of Mt.

In an urbanized world, countries are apt to be judged according to their degree of urbanization. A glance at the map shows that the under-developed countries are also, by and large, rural. Cities have long existed in Africa, of course. From the ancient trade and cultural centers of Carthage and Alexandria to the mediaeval sultanates of East Africa, urban life has long existed in some degree or another. Yet none of these cities changed significantly the rural character of the African hinterland. Today the city needs to be more than the occasional market place, the seat of political authority, and a haven for the literati. It remains these of course, but it is much more. It must be the industrial and economic wellspring of a large area, perhaps of a nation. The city has become the concomitant of industrialization and industrialization the concomitant 1 2 of the revolution of rising expectations. African cities today are largely the products of colonial enterprise but are equally the measure of their country's progress. The city is witness everywhere to the acute personal, familial, and social upheavals of society in the process of urbanization.
