Female Genital Mutilation/Cutting in Kenya- Examining Progress Or Lack of Progress at National and Subnational Levels
Female Genital Mutilation/Cutting in Kenya- Examining Progress or Lack of Progress at National and Subnational Levels Robert P Ndugwa PhD1 and Dr Edward Addai2 1Global Urban Observatory, Research and Capacity Development Branch, United Nations Human Settlements Programme, Nairobi, Kenya. 2UNICEF ESARO, Nairobi, Kenya Abstract Female genital mutilation or cutting (FGM/C) is widely outlawed globally, but continues to be practiced in selected communities across the globe. In Kenya, this practice is common among selected communities, and recent national trends show that the prevalence of the practice is declining. Using Multiple Indicator Cluster Surveys data collected in 2011 from 6 counties from the Western region of Kenya, we demonstrate that while national figures conspire to show that the prevalence of FGM has declined but among certain communities the practice remains almost universal. Underlying factors favouring the continuation of the practice within these communities are discussed, including examining the role of cultural traditions, tribe and religion. The study demonstrates the value of collecting data at lower levels, and highlights the need to step up the responses and engagement of communities who continue practicing FGM even after outlawing this practice. Introduction Female genital mutilation or cutting (FGM/C) has continued to dominate the discourse in women’s health and empowerment as well as remaining a dominate subject for human rights violations today. Female genital mutilation or cutting (FGM/C) is a procedure or practice where the parts of the female genitals are removed, and it is practiced in over twenty countries within sub-Saharan Africa. FGM/C practice has been widely documented to interfere with the natural functioning of the body, in addition to causing many short-term and long-term health and psychological consequences (Behrendt et al. -

Climate Risk Profile Siaya County Highlights
Kenya County Climate Risk Profile Series Climate Risk Profile Siaya County Highlights Siaya County is characterised by high poverty levels (47.56%) and food insecurity. Agriculture is the main source of livelihood in the County, contributing about 60% of the household income and providing almost 61% of all employment opportunities. Maize, beans, sorghum, and local poultry are the key value chain commodities in the County. Droughts and intense rainfall already constrain agricultural productivity and food security in Siaya County; climate projections indicate increasing events of drought and intense rains. Farmers in Siaya County employ a host of on-farm strategies to cope with climate risks and shocks including: planting of drought-resistant crop varieties, diversification, conservation agriculture, value addition strategies, animal feed conservation, and farmer groups to ease access to credit, farm inputs and market information. The main constraints include high costs of inputs, and limited access to credit and extension services. Low adoption of agricultural technologies, low use of inputs, high cost of credit, and poor quality soils are some of the salient factors that exacerbate the impact of climate change and variability. Off-farm services that assist farmers to mitigate climate change and variability include early warning information on drought risks and food security assessments. Farmers in flood- prone areas along river banks and basins receive early warning information on amounts of rainfall and water levels in catchment areas. The private sector, with the support of non-governmental organizations, is playing a key role in helping farmers adapt to climate change. For instance, the East African Breweries Limited (EABL) is promoting growth of sorghum, which is drought tolerant. -
Country Policy and Information Note Kenya: Female Genital Mutilation (FGM)
Country Policy and Information Note Kenya: Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) Version 1.0 June 2021 Preface Purpose This note provides country of origin information (COI) and analysis of COI for use by Home Office decision makers handling particular types of protection and human rights claims (as set out in the Introduction section). It is not intended to be an exhaustive survey of a particular subject or theme. It is split into two main sections: (1) analysis and assessment of COI and other evidence; and (2) COI. These are explained in more detail below. Assessment This section analyses the evidence relevant to this note – i.e. the COI section; refugee/human rights laws and policies; and applicable caselaw – by describing this and its inter-relationships, and provides an assessment of, in general, whether one or more of the following applies: x A person is reasonably likely to face a real risk of persecution or serious harm x The general humanitarian situation is so severe as to breach Article 15(b) of European Council Directive 2004/83/EC (the Qualification Directive) / Article 3 of the European Convention on Human Rights as transposed in paragraph 339C and 339CA(iii) of the Immigration Rules x The security situation presents a real risk to a civilian’s life or person such that it would breach Article 15(c) of the Qualification Directive as transposed in paragraph 339C and 339CA(iv) of the Immigration Rules x A person is able to obtain protection from the state (or quasi state bodies) x A person is reasonably able to relocate within a country or territory x A claim is likely to justify granting asylum, humanitarian protection or other form of leave, and x If a claim is refused, it is likely or unlikely to be certifiable as ‘clearly unfounded’ under section 94 of the Nationality, Immigration and Asylum Act 2002. -
