EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Taita Taveta County is in Coast Province and is situated to the southwest. It borders Tana River, Kitui and Makueni Districts to the north, Kwale and Kilifi Districts to the east, Kajiado District to the northwest and the Republic of Tanzania to the south and southwest. The County lies between 2° 46’ South and 4° 10’ south and longitudes 37° 36’ east and 30°14’ east. However, the County has recently been divided into Voi, Wundanyi, Taita, and Taveta districts

Taita Taveta is classified as a semi arid district. Out of the total area of 17,128.3 Km2 covered by the district, 10,680.7 km2 or 62 per cent is occupied by Tsavo East and West National parks, 4,100.7 km2 or 24 per cent is range land suitable for ranching and dry land farming, while only 2,055.4 km2 or 12 per cent is available for rain-fed agriculture. Of the 2,055.4 km2 arable land, 1,774.5 km2 or 74 per cent is low potential agriculture land, receiving an annual mean rainfall of 650mm.

It is estimated that in the larger Taita Taveta County has a population size of 284,657. The area experiences extreme food shortages which have contributed to high malnutrition rates, including acute malnutrition among children. In the recently conducted Short Rains Assessments, Taita Taveta has been classified as borderline food insecure and currently one of the districts under watch following the La Nina phenomenon. The district is predominantly agro pastoralist and marginal mixed livelihood zones and thus highly vulnerable to food insecurity during the drought seasons.

In order to guide programming in the district, a nutrition survey is in need. The survey will provide not only nutrition information, but also those related to WASH, health and food security.

SURVEY OBJECTIVES

The specific objectives of this survey were to:-

1. Assess the prevalence of acute and chronic malnutrition in children aged 6-59 months. 2. Assess the prevalence of malnutrition in pregnant women and mothers 3. Assess Infant and young feeding practices. 4. Estimate coverage for SFP, OTP, measles and DPT 3 vaccination and vitamin A. 5. Estimate morbidity rates in children 6-59 months 6. Estimate crude and under five mortality rate. 7. Assess Household food security levels/situation

Methodology

Standardized Method for Relief and Transition (SMART) was used for planning, training and data collection for the nutrition survey. The Survey enumerators were trained for 4 days, standardization test was done to select the data recorders and pilot was done to make sure that enumerators are equipped with the necessary skills for data collection.

Using prevalence of 7 %, precision of 3 and design effect of 2, a sample size of 556 children was obtained. In the mortality session, an estimated prevalence of 0.2, a desired precision of 0.2 and a design effect of 2 resulted in a sample size 3,312 with a recall period of 112 days. A total of 828 households were sampled for the survey and a total of 40 clusters were selected for the survey.

5 | T a i t a - T a v e t a C o u n t y J u l y 2 0 1 1

At the second stage, a selection of the households to be visited within each cluster was done. Simple random method was used to select the households, the village elders gave the list of the households in a given village, using table of random numbers the households were selected. In cases where the villages had huge number of households, segmentation was done; the population was subdivided in to equal segments and one segment was selected using table of random numbers, the household were then listed, and the required households selected from the list by simple random method.

In each selected household, all children aged 6-59 months were included. If there was more than one wife (care taker) in the household1, each wife was considered separately regardless of whether they were cooking together. If there were no children in a household, the house remained a part of the “sample” that contributed zero children to the nutritional part of the survey. The household was recorded on the nutritional data sheet as having no eligible children.

Nutrition, mortality and vaccination coverage, IYCF and Water and Sanitation results

A total of 561children were measured, one records were excluded from anthropometric data analysis.

During the month of May 2021, most ASAL counties received over 70 percent of average rainfall except Wajir, Garissa, Kilifi, Lamu, Kwale, Taita Taveta and Tana River that received between 25-50 percent of average amounts of rainfall during the month of May as shown in Figure 1. Spatio-temporal rainfall distribution was generally uneven and poor across the ASAL counties. Figure 1 indicates rainfall performance during the month of May as Figure 1.May Rainfall Performance percentage of long term mean(LTM). Rainfall Forecast According to Kenya Metrological Department (KMD), several parts of the country will be generally dry and sunny during the month of June 2021. Counties in Northwestern Region including Turkana, West Pokot and Samburu are likely to be sunny and dry with occasional rainfall expected from the third week of the month. The expected total rainfall is likely to be near the long-term average amounts for June. Counties in the Coastal strip including Tana River, Kilifi, Lamu and Kwale will likely receive occasional rainfall that is expected throughout the month. The expected total rainfall is likely to be below the long-term average amounts for June. The Highlands East of the Rift Valley counties including Nyeri, Meru, Embu and Tharaka Nithi are expected to experience occasional cool and cloudy Figure 2.Rainfall forecast (overcast skies) conditions with occasional light morning rains/drizzles.

Three years ago, we all had a dream of what devolution means to all of us and you gave me the responsibility of making Taita Taveta a better place. Three years ago, we were all looking forward to one thing: Progress. Three years down the line, the spirit of devolution is firmly with us. We have a committed, present, and motivated County Government focused on delivering development to our people. We have achieved several milestones in critical areas like health, education, financial inclusion and agriculture which have empowered our people to be more productive and achieve more for themselves. Three years down the line, we have made progress. However, we need to make more. As we look forward to a brighter future, I want to re-affirm my commitment to ensuring that our County moves forward in all sector areas. I look forward to your participation in making devolution work in Taita Taveta. Let us all be champions of devolution. Let us engage and build Taita Taveta County. God Bless Taita Taveta County.
