FOREWORD The Government of Kenya’s commitment to provide for children out of family care is demonstrated by the various policies and legislative frameworks that have been developed in the recent years. All children are equal rights-holders and deserve to be within families and community as enshrined in the Constitution of Kenya 2010 and the Children Act 2001. The development of this training manual recognizes the role of the family and the community in the care of our children while the accompanying user friendly handbook aims to boost the skills and knowledge of case workers and practioners in the child protection sector. All efforts need to be made to support families to continue to care for their children and, if this is not possible, to place a child in a family-based alternative care arrangement, such as; kinship care, foster care, guardianship, Kafaalah, Supported Independent Living (SIL), or adoption.

  • 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.

    GLOBAL RETINA THE LONG GAME: PROVIDING INTERNATIONAL RETINAL CARE AS AN EXPATRIATE Advancing retinal care in western Kenya as a full-time missionary. BY BENJAMIN J.

But, mind throughout his training. With a shared interest by definition, such individual outreaches in international medical missions, they were seeking cannot provide the extended follow-up an opportunity that allowed their training to meet necessary to address recurrent or chronic a specific need. The lack of full-time ophthalmology disease, fully quantify long-term outcomes, services at Tenwek provided just such an opportunity, or provide extensive fellowship-styled surgical education. As and, subsequently, Dr. Roberts finished his fellowship and we consider the advancement of international surgical retina moved his family to Kenya for their first 4-year term. care across all fronts, how do we fill these particular gaps? Numerous complementary solutions exist to help provide the long-term engagement necessary to develop comprehensive retinal services. These include undertaking recurrent trips to the same location, offering Dossier: •Bomet teleconsultation and telementorship programs, and Bomet, Kenya promoting short- and long-term fellowship training and observership (in US-based programs) for physicians from underserved areas. There is another, simpler strategy, though Located in the former Rift Valley Province, it requires a high degree of commitment: move to a place of the main economic industries of Bomet need and stay there.

This report is one of a series of detailed analyses covering five value chains (maize, dairy, mango, potato, and French beans) conducted by USAID-KAVES to identify critical constraints/gaps and prioritize high-return program interventions that will contribute to the program’s core objectives of: Increasing the competitiveness of selected agricultural value chains to mitigate food insecurity, improve nutrition, and increase the incomes of the rural poor; Fostering innovation and adaptive technologies and techniques that improve nutritional outcomes for rural households, sustainably reduce chronic under-nutrition, and increase household consumption of nutrition- dense foods; and Increasing the capacity of local organizations to sustainably undertake value chain work. While drawing upon the extensive body of existing research on targeted Kenyan valued chains, USAID-KAVES analyses further builds on and updates those findings with primary data obtained through field surveys and interviews with value chain participants.
