We investigated the impacts of the reservoirs on people’s livelihoods downstream. The results showed a few positive impacts in the vicinity of the reservoirs and numerous negative impacts downstream (i.e. reduced flood-recess agriculture and floodplain pastoralism, and escalating resource-use conflicts). Inadequate stakeholders’ consultation during reservoir development was also observed. We recommend a detailed basin-wide socioeconomic assessment for future reservoir developments and controlled flood release to simulate the natural flow regime, thereby restoring indigenous flood-based livelihoods while retaining sufficient reserves for power generation. Keywords: River Tana; Kenya; communities’ perception; hydropower development; impact assessment; floods Introduction River basins are the cradles of civilization and cultural heritage. Ancient and modern civilizations first developed in the vicinity of great rivers due to the role of rivers in the provision of food to support livelihoods, inputs for industries, and by providing opportunities for commerce and navigation.

  • Economics of Harvesting and Marketing Selected Indigenous Fruits in Mwingi District, Kenya
    ECONOMICS OF HARVESTING AND MARKETING SELECTED INDIGENOUS FRUITS IN MWINGI DISTRICT, KENYA By: C. M. Mwema J. K. Lagat and B. K. Mutai Invited paper presented at the 4th International Conference of the African Association of Agricultural Economists, September 22-25, 2013, Hammamet, Tunisia Copyright 2013 by [authors]. All rights reserved. Readers may make verbatim copies of this document for non-commercial purposes by any means, provided that this copyright notice appears on all such copies. 107- ECONOMICS OF HARVESTING AND MARKETING SELECTED INDIGENOUS FRUITS IN MWINGI DISTRICT, KENYA C.M. Mwema 1*, J.K. Lagat1 and B.K. Mutai1 1 Egerton University, Department of Agricultural Economics, P.O. Box 536-20115, Egerton, Kenya. Abstract Constant droughts especially in the Arid and Semi-Arid Lands (ASAL) have led to recurrent crop failures and livestock losses. Households have therefore resulted to other alternatives which can provide both food and income. Trade in indigenous fruits contributes to livelihoods through income generation and as a safety net for consumption and income smoothing. This paper presents the analysis of economic returns from harvesting and marketing indigenous fruits and the socio economic factors that influence participation in trade of indigenous fruits. The results are based on a survey conducted in Nuu division, Mwingi District, where 120 randomly selected households were interviewed using a pre-tested semi-structured questionnaire. Logistic regression model, Gross Margin Analysis, and Benefit cost ratios were used during the analysis. Data was processed and analyzed using SPSS20. The Gross margins depicted harvesting of indigenous fruits for trade as a profitable venture. High benefit cost ratios of greater than 3.0 were reported in all the three fruits under study.

Department of Range Management, University of Nairobi P.O. Box 29053, Nairobi, Kenya Email: [email protected] 2. Forestry Development Support Programme, Belgian Technical Cooperation, P.O. Box 30513, Nairobi, Kenya KEYWORDS Common use; range management; resource conflicts; Eastern Statelands; Kenya ABSTRACT This paper describes the major livelihood activities of three ethnic communities who use in common the former Kenyan Eastern Statelands. It also looks at how the livelihoods and the range could be improved while maintaining the common access to resources, so as to avoid potential conflicts. It is suggested that for improvement of range management the unsettled lands should be accessed by all the communities under ranching societies without having to exclude non-members. A number of approaches should be instituted, including bush control and reseeding. Bush control can be achieved through exploitation of trees of low timber value for charcoal production to earn income for households. To increase livestock productivity, it is proposed that proper livestock and grazing management be practised, including the introduction of superior breeds, improved livestock facilities, adequate animal healthcare and rotational grazing through paddocking. INTRODUCTION and improve the living standards of the communities, the stakeholders and development The colonial government in Kenya set aside agents should rethink the use and management the former Eastern Statelands for State of this resource.

  • Cross-Border Interaction Spurs Innovation and Hope Among Pastoral and Agro-Pastoral Women of Ethiopia and Kenya by D
    Cross-Border Interaction Spurs Innovation and Hope Among Pastoral and Agro-Pastoral Women of Ethiopia and Kenya By D. Layne Coppock, Seyoum Tezera, Solomon Desta, Mark Mutinda, Stellamaris Muthoka, Getachew Gebru, Abdillahi Aboud, and Azeb Yonas On the Ground • African pastoralists endure poverty, drought, and hunger. Women are especially marginalized because they are illiterate, unskilled, disempowered, and engaged in daily drudgery. • Such women, however, are capable of remarkable, sustained achievements in collective action, livelihood di- versification, micro-finance, and community-based wealth generation. • Women can be profoundly inspired by successful peers. After careful training and mentoring, inspired women can then start new initiatives. • Husbands can be supportive of women’s empowerment because household welfare improves. Men sometimes join—and occasionally help lead—collective-action efforts. • Women’s empowerment should be a major focus in pastoral development projects because of the positive community synergisms women create. Keywords: Boran, Il Chamus, Tugen, Borana Plateau, Marsabit County, Baringo County, peer-to-peer learning, diffusion of innovations. La interacción transfronteriza estimula la innovación y la esperanza entre las mujeres pastoras y agropastoras de etiopía y kenia Perspectiva desde el campo: • Las y los pastores africanos soportan pobreza, sequía y hambre. Las mujeres son especialmente marginadas debido a que son analfabetas, no representan mano de obra calificada, no están empoderadas y se dedican al arduo y tedioso trabajo cotidiano. • Sin embargo, estas mujeres son capaces de logros notables y sostenidos en términos de acción colectiva, diversificación del sustento, microfinanzas y generación de riqueza basada en la comunidad. • Las mujeres pueden ser inspiradas profundamente por pares exitosos.

  • Meru North District Environment Action Plan 2009-2013 Executive Summary
    REPUBLIC OF KENYA MINISTRY OF ENVIRONMENT AND MINERAL RESOURCES MERU NORTH DISTRICT ENVIRONMENT ACTION PLAN 2009-2013 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Economic growth and environment are closely intertwined in Kenya’s development. Environmental Action Planning is a tool that aims at enhancing the integration of environment into development planning. Meru North District faces many environmental challenges with some being unique to the District. Some of the challenges include; Poverty has lead to the over-use and destruction of environment. Continued reliance on trees for fuel and wetlands for farming and its resources has lead to deforestation and wetland encroachment. Annual flooding continues to destroy property and frustrate farming. The DEAP highlights priority themes and activities for the District towards achieving sustainable development. The report is divided into eight chapters. Chapter one gives the challenges of sustainable development and also describes the rationale for and preparatory process of the DEAP. The chapter introduces the district’s main profile covering the physical features, demographic, agro- ecological zones, and main environmental issues. Chapter two describes the District’s Environment and Natural resources of Land, Water, Biodiversity (forest, wildlife, and Dry lands biodiversity), wetlands and agriculture, livestock and fisheries. For each resource, major environmental issues, challenges and proposed interventions are identified. Chapter three discusses the Human settlements and infrastructure in Meru North District covering situation analysis, challenges and proposed interventions. Environmental challenges addressed include; waste management, sanitation, pollution, diseases, land use, demand for water, energy, materials for construction, land and wetlands degradation, policy and legislation, biodiversity loss and land tenure. Chapter four addresses environmental aspects in tourism, trade, industry and services sectors.

  • Climate Change
    ANALYSISANALYSIS ARTICLE 4(1 6), October- December, 2018 ISSN Climate 2394–8558 EISSN 2394–8566 Change Temporal analysis of drought in Mwingi sub- county of Kitui County in Kenya using the standardized precipitation index (SPI) Cassim JZ1, Juma GS2 This study attempts to temporally characterize drought using Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI) over Mwingi Sub-County of Kenya. Rainfall data spanning 1961-2011 over the area of study was used to determine SPI values using quantitative techniques in R programming. The SPI values were temporally characterized using series graphs and trend analysis carried out. In order to enhance understanding of vegetative characteristics over the area of study, Vegetation Cover Index data was used to generate 3 month VCI spatial characteristics. Results of this study revealed that Mwingi region has been experiencing increasing mild to moderate drought events with occasional severe cases being reported since 1961. No extreme drought event was recorded during this period. The study noted that the drought events were increasingly varying in intensity during the period of study. The study recommends correlation analysis between all climate variables and SPI values to give direction on how they relate to each other over time. However, no extreme drought event was recorded during this period. The study recommends correlation analysis between the SPI values and all climate variables over the area of study. INTRODUCTION The County is primarily made up of 3 main livelihood zones (LRA, Background of the study 2015) namely: Marginal mixed farming, Mixed farming and Formal Kitui County is situated in the former Eastern Province of Kenya, and employment/Peri-Urban.

    Meru Conservation Area Management Plan, 2007-2017 www.kws.org Meru Conservation Area Management Plan, 2007- 2017 Planning carried out by MCA Managers MCA Stakeholders KWS Biodiversity Planning Department In accordance with the KWS PROTECTED AREAS PLANNING FRAMEWORK ii This General Management Plan has been developed through a participatory planning process involving a cross section of Meru Conservation Area stakeholders, under the coordination of a Core Planning Team comprising representatives from Meru Conservation Area PA managers, KWS HQ planners, and County Councils of Isiolo and Mwingi officials. Funding for the planning process has been provided by KWS with co-financing from the African Wildlife Foundation. Planning technical assistance and facilita- tion was provided by the Conservation Development Centre, Nairobi iii Approval Page The Board of Trustees and the management of the Kenya Wildlife Service, have approved the implementation of this management plan for the Meru Conservation Area. Mr Julius Kipng’etich Mr. Daniel Ndonye Director Chairman, Board of Trustees iv Foreword When future generations of Kenyans look back on protected area conservation in our nation at the beginning of the 21 st Century, they are likely to view this as an era of enormous challenges alongside unprecedented opportunities. On the opportunity front, they are likely to note the incredible advances in technology that are underway, which has enabled global travel to become affordable for a much larger number of people worldwide, and which has fuelled a rapid expansion in tourism in our national parks and reserves. Other technological advances, such as the Internet, are having an enormous impact, not only by making information about Kenya’s unique protected areas easily available world- wide, but also by facilitating enhanced management of even the more remote protected areas, through easier communications and better management systems.
