Sincere thanks goes to all individuals who participated in the 6 constituencies’ stakeholder forums namely, Likoni, Kisauni, Nyali, Mvita, Jomvu and Changamwe. These individuals which also included some members of Mombasa County Assembly ‘kicked off’ this process by participating in Focus Group Discussions making invaluable contributions in terms of pointing out issues and concerns across the county and through consensus they proposed possible solutions. Officials from all the Mombasa County and national government departments and ministries, the civil society also made significant contribution. The contribution was in the form of providing information and consolidating the ideas which led to the completion of this important exercise. The His Excellency Hassan A. Joho throughout the process of developing this CIDP offered the necessary leadership. We also want to thank the entire County Executive Committee of Mombasa County for the critical role as part of the CIDP steering committee.Many thanks also go to all individual in the office of the Governor who offered administrative support and technical support during the County integrated development planning process.

  • 23 East African Railways and Harbours Administration
    NOT FOR PUBLICATION INSTITUTE OF CURRENT WORLD AFFAIRS Washing%on, D.C. ast Africa High Commission November 29, 195 (2) East African Railways and Harbours Administration Mr. Walter S. Rogers Institute of Current World Affairs 22 Fifth Avenue New York 6, New York Dear Mr. Rogers The public Railways and Inland Marine Service of ast Africa, a] oerated by the Railways and Harbours Administration, are by far the rlncipal means of transport of the area. In 1992 they performed some I,98,60,O ton miles of freight haulage and some 6,,898 passenger orneys over ,O99 route miles of metre gauge railway and other routes. The present role of the railway is varie. At the outlying pointB it is rovidlng access to new agrlc,tural areas and to mineral operations. Along established lines it continues to bring in the capital equipment for development and the import goods in demand by the uropean, Asian and African population; but it also is serving increasingly as an economic integrator, allowing regional agricultural specialization so that each smal bloc of territory ned not remain fully self sufficient in food grains. The comparatively cheap*haulage to the coast of larger quantities of export produce, sisal, cotton, coffee, sod-ash, is a necessary facility for the expanding economy of .East Africa. The railway also gives mobility to labor in ast Africa, facilitating the migrations necessary for agricultural purposes and for industries denendent upon large numbers of African personnel. By providing longer heavier haulge services, the railways complement their own and other motor transport service; the natural difficulties of road building and maintanance being formidable in East Africa, it is usually accepted that truck haulage routes should be ancilary to the railway.

  • Copepod Composition, Abundance and Diversity in Makupa Creek

O. Box 81651, Mombasa, Kenya; 2Royal Belgian Institute of Natural Sciences, Vautierstraat 29, 1000 Brussels, Belgium; 3Free University of Brussels, Pleinlaan 2, 1050 Brussels, Belgium Key words: copepods, marine pollution, mangroves, Makupa creek, Mombasa Harbour, monsoons Abstract—The taxonomic composition, abundance and spatio-temporal distribution of copepods were analysed from monthly zooplankton samples collected in Makupa creek and Mombasa Harbour (Makupa creek was until recently subjected to considerable dumping of domestic and industrial waste). At least 51 copepod species belonging to 38 genera in the families Calanoida (25), Harpacticoida (5), Poecilostomatoida (7) and Cyclopoida (1) were identified. The most common genera were Acartia, Acrocalanus, Corycaeus, Oncaea and Oithona. Copepods bloomed in the wet months of November and April (75 to 158/m3). Abundance was consistently high near the creek mouth and low within the creek enclosure. Copepod diversity (H’) was slightly higher (2.00 to 2.57) during September, November, December, January, May and June and lower (1.30 to 1.95) in the remaining months. Evenness (J) was, however, relatively constant (0.67 to 0.84) during the entire sampling period. These results point to suppressed copepod diversity and abundance in Makupa Creek, and possible reasons for this, which may include environmental degradation caused by pollution, are presented. INTRODUCTION copepods of the East African coast.

  • Youth in Blue Economy in Kenya
    Facts Finding Report Youth in Blue Economy in Kenya with support from Introduction In November 2018, The Youth Congress commissioned a fact-finding to establish the status of youth in the blue economy in four counties in Kenya; Mombasa, Kisumu, Homabay and Kilifi. The fact-finding targeted individuals, groups, organisations and agencies to submit informa- tion on state of youth and the blue economy, and recommendations on strategies to deepen young people’s engagement in the sector. Interviews targeted national and county governments, academia, private sector, international organisations, media, political, youth civil society organizations and thought leaders in the selected counties to share ideas, experience and knowledge on four questions: 1. What is the situation of youth in the blue economy? 2. How are youth involved in some of the programmes being implemented in the blue economy? 3. What (if any) changes should be made in the present legal framework and practices to enhance youth engagement and benefits in the blue economy? 4. What (if anything) should be done to increase the extent to which young men and women participate and benefit from the blue economy? 1.The World Bank defines the blue economy as the sustainable use of ocean resources for economic growth, improved livelihoods and jobs while preserving the health of the ocean ecosystem. To achieve strong and sustainable economic growth, Kenya is diversifying her sources of growth by prioritizing the blue economy. Some of the activities of the blue economy include harvesting of living resources such as sea food and marine biotechnology, extraction of non-living resources (seabed mining), and generation of untapped resources (energy and fresh water).

  • The Drowned Valleys on the Coast of Kenya
    THE DROWNED VALLEYS ON THE COAST OF KENYA. By H. L. SIKES, B.A., B.E., H.INST. C.E., F.G.S. In his report on the Geology of the East Africa Protectorate .(Col. Rep. Misc. No. 45, Cd. 3828, London, 1908), Mr. H. B. Maufe pomted out that the tidal creeks on the coast of Kenya, the rock floors of which are far below sea level, originated as land valleys, which are now •• drowned." He also indicated that the sub-aerial erosion which produced or rejuvenated these valleys must have taken .place subse• quent to the formation of the raised coral reefs of Pleistocene age which form the existing coastal strip including most of Mombasa Island. Although much is still obscure, light has been thrown in recent years on the oscillations of relative level between sea and land on .the .East African coast. Amongst the writings which bear on this matter are Stockley's report on the" Geology of the Zanzibar Protec• tora.te " (London, 1928) with the associated report on the" Palaeon• tology of the Zanzibar Protectorate " by various specialists (London, 1927), Monograph No. IV of the Hunterian Museum, Glasgow Univer• sity, containing various reports on geological collections from the coast lands of Kenya Colony made by Miss McKinnon W0011, and various papers and other publications recording the results of research work in other parts of the world on the relative level of land and sea during Quaternary times, the factors influencing coral growth, the solution of limestones by sea water and other phenomena. Borings carried out from time to time for the purpose of obtaining information relating to foundations for bridges and other structures, and to find water, have yielded evidence which is not without significance in the consideration of the history of these submerged valleys.
