  • Tracing Community Conservation Evolution, Power Relations and Sustainability in Northern Kenya
    MSc. BIODIVERSITY, CONSERVATION AND MANAGEMENT TRACING COMMUNITY CONSERVATION EVOLUTION, POWER RELATIONS AND SUSTAINABILITY IN NORTHERN KENYA CANDIDATE NUMBER: 142504 DATE DUE: 3rd SEPTEMBER 2012 WORD COUNT: 15,333 Abstract Candidate No. 142504 Abstract The narrative of Fortress Conservation was based on strategies dominated by attempts to reserve places for nature, to separate humans from nature, and to prevent consumptive use or other forms of human impact. The counter-narrative of Community Conservation promises to reconcile conservation and development objectives, and ensure the interests of the local people are taken into account. This narrative is no panacea however, and in the evolution of community conservation in Kenya, several initiatives have fallen victim to poor governance or the lack thereof, or worse, the retrogression into the colonial model of conservation through exclusion. A new model of community conservation in Kenya is emerging, distinguished by the governance and leadership of umbrella bodies and land owner associations, state involvement and community buy-in in a new frontier of conservation on communal lands. This new model is reordering power relations and endeavours to foster socio-ecological resilience for and by communities. 2 Table of Contents Candidate No. 142504 Table of Contents Abstract……………………………………………………………………………………….. 2 Table of Contents……………………………………………………………………………. 3 List of Tables and Figures………………………………………………………………….. 5 Acknowledgements…………………………………………………………………………...7 Introduction……………………………………………………………………………………..8 Literature Review a) The amorphous entity of ‘Community’……………………………………………..10 b) Community Conservation: The genesis of the narrative………………………….11 c) Early days: Kenya’s governance history in its infancy…………………………....13 d) Disentangling the values and narratives behind community conservation in Kenya……………………………………………………………………………………17 e) Power relations and their role in community conservation…………………….….18 f) The Scorecard: can community conservation get it right? ...............................

  • Mediating Maendeleo: Examining the Nexus Between Geothermal Extraction, Wildlife Conservation and Community Well-Being in Olkaria-Suswa, Southern Kenya
    Mediating Maendeleo: Examining the nexus between geothermal extraction, wildlife conservation and community well-being in Olkaria-Suswa, Southern Kenya. by Daniel Salau Rogei A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Affairs in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Program, Anthropology. Carleton University Ottawa, Ontario © 2021, Daniel Salau Rogei Abstract Decisions regarding livelihoods, land and natural resource management are embedded in the traditional institutions and societal structures of the Maasai communities that have been in dynamic interaction with hegemonic forms of state-building during the colonial and post-colonial periods in Kenya. The Maasai’s fraught interaction with and cautious response to change, often portrayed and interpreted as being conservative and repugnant to modernization and/or maendeleo (development), is critical in understanding their response to contemporary mega-development enterprises now mushrooming in the erstwhile marginal frontiers of Kenya. This study examines these larger dynamics in the context of the nexus between development, conservation and community livelihoods in the contested landscape of Olkaria. By locating this study in a historically significant site but also an area of large- scale international and state investment in natural resource extraction, I analyze the historical and current threads that intricately but fractiously weave together geothermal development, wildlife conservation, and community well-being as well as claims and struggles of belonging in a contested landscape marked by more than a century of land displacement and land conflicts. Four villages within the greater Olkaria region (Narasha, Olomayiana, RAPland and Mt. Suswa) in Nakuru, Narok and Kajiado counties were purposefully selected for the study.

  • Wildlife Migratory Corridors and Dispersal Areas
    This report provides a vivid depiction of the state of Kenya’s conservation connectivity both within and outside protected areas, complete with maps and information on historical and recent wildlife migratory routes and corridors on the Kenya rangelands and coastal terrestrial ecosystems. The report is organized under seven major themes: an introductory overview, a brief treatment on the importance of biodiversity conservation for human well-being, and on the Kenya Vision 2030 flagship project on the environment; objectives and study areas; understanding animal movements and connectivity; the methodological approach to conservation connectivity, and the conservation connectivity framework (CCF); migratory routes and corridors for conservation (drivers, pressures, states, impacts, responses, constraints, opportunities, and strategies for securing habitats already interfered with by human activities); infrastructure development, and climate change impacts; and recommendations and a roadmap. Despite the crucial role of migratory routes and corridors in ensuring connectivity of core habitats with critical dispersal areas, these conservation linkages CORRIDORS AND DISPERSAL AREAS • WILDLIFE MIGRATORY continue to be degraded or lost to human activities, imperilling the integrity of ecosystems and increasing human-wildlife conflicts, hampering efforts to promote eco-tourism,, and impoverishing local communitys’ livelihoods, both of which reduce the speed to meet the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This worrying situation can be attributed

  • Kenya Electricity System Improvement Project (Kesip)
    Public Disclosure Authorized KENYA ELECTRICITY SYSTEM IMPROVEMENT PROJECT (KESIP) Public Disclosure Authorized ENVIRONMENTAL & SOCIAL MANAGEMENT FRAMEWORK Public Disclosure Authorized APRIL 2019 Public Disclosure Authorized BASIC INFORMATION 1. Country and Project Name: Kenya Electricity System Improvement Project (KESIP) 2. Project Development Objective: To increase the capacity of the transmission system and to increase access to electricity in Kenya 3. Expected Project Benefits: Beneficiaries will be households, business enterprises, commercial building and industrial establishment that will be connected to the electricity network for the first time. A second group of beneficiaries will be existing electricity consumers for whom the quality and reliability of electricity service will improve. Improved reliability of electricity service is especially important for existing business customers since they will experience less service interruptions and consequently their financial losses will reduce. Kenya Power Electricity & Lighting Company Ltd (KPLC) will be a beneficiary through the system loss reduction. 4. Identified Project Social Risks: Minimal adverse social risks are anticipated under this project because the installation of Distribution systems will take place within existing routes and road reserves. The project will experience some level of environmental and social risks. Most of the low and medium voltage lines will mainly be constructed along the road reserve and existing rights of ways. These may not result in physical relocation
