Marxist Analysis of Primary School Drop out in Malindi
MARXIST ANALYSIS OF PRIMARY SCHOOL DROP OUT IN MALINDI DISTRICT, KENYA BY CHAI CHARLES LEWA A RESEARCH PROJECT SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE AWARD OF THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF EDUCATION IN EDUCATIONAL FOUNDATIONS (PHILOSOPHY OF EDUCATION) OF THE UNIVERSITY OF NAIROBI. 2015 ABSTRACT The purpose of this study is to use Marxist analysis to investigate the causes of primary school dropout in Malindi District, Kenya; noting that retention of learners in school is still a challenge despite the introduction of free primary education. The findings indicated that the people of Malindi District are poor because they are alienated by successive governments (capitalists) from the factors of production. As a result, therefore, the people are economically marginalized and the results show that children drop out of school to engage in child labour, sex tourism, bodaboda business and drug peddling to get basic needs and supplement the family income. There is need for collaborative effort by all stakeholders and political will by the government to empower the residents economically. Distributive justice of the productive resources is recommended to alleviate poverty which will strengthen retention of learners in primary schools in the district. ii DECLARATION This project is my original work and has not been presented for a degree in any other University.

Sacred Spaces, Political Authority, and the Dynamics of Tradition in Mijikenda History
Sacred Spaces, Political Authority, and the Dynamics of Tradition in Mijikenda History A thesis presented to the faculty of the College of Arts and Sciences of Ohio University In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Master of Arts David P. Bresnahan June 2010 © 2010 David P. Bresnahan. All Rights Reserved. 2 This thesis titled Sacred Spaces, Political Authority, and the Dynamics of Tradition in Mijikenda History by DAVID P. BRESNAHAN has been approved for the Department of History and the College of Arts and Sciences by Nicholas M. Creary Assistant Professor of History Benjamin M. Ogles Dean, College of Arts and Sciences 3 ABSTRACT BRESNAHAN, DAVID P., M.A., June 2010, History Sacred Spaces, Political Authority, and the Dynamics of Tradition in Mijikenda History (156 pp.) Director of Thesis: Nicholas M. Creary This thesis explores the social, political, and symbolic roles of the Mijikenda kayas in the Coast Province of Kenya. The kayas, which exist today as sacred grove forests, are the original homesteads of the Mijikenda and the organizational units from which the symbolic authority and esoteric knowledge of the Mijikenda elders are derived. As a result, I conceptualize kayas as the physical space of the forests, but also complex networks of political, metaphysical, and symbolic power. While the kaya forests and their associated institutions have often been framed as cultural relics, I use this lens to illustrate how the position of the kayas in Mijikenda life has influenced broader social and political developments. Three main themes are developed: the first theme addresses how the kayas were used in different capacities to create space from the encroachment of colonial rule.

Healthcare Service Providers' and Facility Administrators' Perspectives
Lang’at and Mwanri Reproductive Health (2015) 12:59 DOI 10.1186/s12978-015-0048-1 RESEARCH Open Access Healthcare service providers’ and facility administrators’ perspectives of the free maternal healthcare services policy in Malindi District, Kenya: a qualitative study Evaline Lang’at1,2 and Lillian Mwanri1* Abstract Background: Globally, there are increasing efforts to improve maternal health outcomes including the reduction in maternal mortality rates. Improved access to skilled care utilisation during pregnancy and delivery has been one of the strategies employed to improve maternal health outcomes. In Kenya, more than half of the women deliver without the assistance of a skilled attendant and this has contributed to high maternal mortality rates. The free maternal healthcare services policy in all public facilities was initiated as a strategy to improve access to skilled care and reduce poor maternal health outcomes. This study aimed to explore the perspectives of the service providers and facility administrators of the free maternal health care service policy that was introduced in Kenya in 2013. Methods: A qualitative inquiry using semi-structured one-on-one interviews was conducted in Malindi District, Kenya. The participants included maternal health service providers and facility administrators recruited from five different healthcare facilities. Data were analysed using a thematic framework analysis. Results: Free maternal healthcare service provision was perceived to boost skilled care utilisation during pregnancy and delivery. However, challenges including; delays in the reimbursement of funds by the government to the facilities, stock outs of essential commodities in the facilities to facilitate service provision, increased workload amidst staff shortage and lack of consultation and sensitisation of key stakeholders were perceived as barriers to effective implementation of this policy.

CHOLERA COUNTRY PROFILE: KENYA Last Update: 29 April 2010
WO RLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION Global Task Force on Cholera Control CHOLERA COUNTRY PROFILE: KENYA Last update: 29 April 2010 General Country Information: The Republic of Kenya is located in eastern Africa, and borders Ethiopia, Somalia, Tanzania, Uganda and Sudan with an east coast along the Indian Ocean. Kenya is divided into eight provinces: Central, Coast, Eastern, North Eastern, Nyanza, Rift Valley and Western and Nairobi. The provinces are further subdivided into 69 districts. Nairobi, the capital, is the largest city of Kenya. In 1885, Kenya was made a German protectorate over the Sultan of Zanzibar and coastal areas were progressively taken over by British establishments especially in the costal areas. Hostilities between German military forces and British troops (supported by Indian Army troops) were to end in 1918 as the Armistice of the first World War was signed. Kenya gained its independence from Great Britain in December 1963 when a government was formed by Jomo Kenyatta head of the KANU party (Kenya National African Union). Kenya's economy is highly dependant on tourism and Nairobi is the primary communication and financial hub of East Africa. It enjoys the region's best transportation linkages, communications infrastructure, and trained personnel. Many foreign firms maintain regional branches or representative offices in the city. Since December 2007, following the national elections, Kenya has been affected by political turmoil and violent rampages in several parts of the country leading to economic and humanitarian crisis. Kenya's Human Development Index is 147 over 182. The major cause of mortality and morbidity is malaria. Malnutrition rates are high (around 50'000 malnourished children and women in 27 affected districts in 2006).

Land Grab in Kenya
Land Grab in Kenya Implications for Small -holder Farmers By Pauline Makutsa A publication of the Eastern Africa Farmers Federation , With support from the European Commission and the International Fund for Agricultural DevelopDevelopmmentent (IFAD) “Land Grab in Kenya” A publication of the Eastern Africa Farmers’ Federation Background The recent phenomenon of ‘land grabbing’ – acquisition of large tracts of land by wealth, food-insecure and private investors from mostly poor, developing countries has resulted in loss of land and natural resources for farmers in poor developing countries. The East African Federation of Farmers (EAFF), concerned about the implications of land grab on food security and the livelihoods of small holder farmers in Kenya, commissioned a study to provide information on the extent of the land grab in Kenya. This study looks at the key players and their motivation, responses to the land grabbing and implications on small scale agriculture in Kenya. The study also highlights possible business models that can be utilized for effective engagement between farmer organisations and land grabbers, as well as suggest policy recommendations on the issue. The study took place over a period of three weeks from July 29 th – 19 th August 2010 and involved field research and interviews in a selected area, which in this case was the Tana river Delta, and detailed desk research on the issue. The consultant selected the Tana river delta for field research due to the high number of large scale agricultural investments that are targeted in the area. Acknowledgement The consultant would like to gratefully acknowledge the contributions and kind assistance of the following individuals without whom the study would not have been successful.

SWALHA SALIM THIS THESIS HAS BEEN SUBMITTED FOR EXAMINATION WITH MY APPROVAL AS UNIVERSITY SUPERVISOR. DEDICATION To my parents, who love and appreciate education. Because of the many sacrifices they made in order to give me a good education, I affectionately dedicate this work to them ABSTRACT This thesis is a survey of the economic, socio-cultural and political life of the Yemeni Arabs in Kenya during the Colonial Period, 1895 - 1963. The Yemeni Arabs are a fairly distinct group of Arabs who migrated from Southern Arabia. The term Yemeni or Yemeni Arabs in this study will be used to refer to those people who came from both the Yemens - the present day People's Democratic Republic of South Yemen and the Republic of North Yemen. However, when direct reference is made to those Yemenis who came from Hadhramaut in South Yemen, they will be referred to as Hadhramis. There has been very long-established relations between the East African coast and South Arabia. The East African coast was visited by people from the Southern Arabian coast from pre-lslamic times. Traders plied the Indian Ocean, the Arabian Sea and the East African coast in search of trading commodities before the birth of Islam.

In light of the current famine disaster in Kenya, Christian Aid has decided to present an ACT appeal on behalf of two of its partners in Kenya (Northern Aid & ACK- Ukambani Christian Community Services). Given the magnitude of the problem and the limited available resources, the ACT CO together with Christian Aid is appealing to our donors to ensure that the emergency interventions continue. Presently, ACT members Norwegian Church Aid (NCA), Lutheran World Federation (Dept. for World Service) - Kenya/Sudan (LWF/DWS), Lutheran World Relief (LWR), Christian Aid, Church World Service (CWS) and the Anglican Church of Kenya (ACK) and their partners are responding to the situation or have began to assist drought-affected communities in their respective working areas. ACT members and their partners plan to carry out relief/rehabilitation activities focused on supplementing and filling gaps of the Government of Kenya/World Food Program and other NGO efforts in the specified districts. Interventions include providing life-saving interventions that will address the immediate food and water needs of the most-affected communities, food distribution, water tankering for domestic and livestock use as well as borehole drilling and or repair in key specific areas of Mandera, Elwak, Kajiado, Narok, Makueni, Kitui, Taita Taveta, Tana River and Turkana Districts.
