JICA selected and dispatched a study team headed by Mr. Kosei HASHIGUCHI of Sanyu Consultants Inc. between June 2005 and May 2007. The team held discussions with the officials concerned of the Government of Kenya and conducted field surveys at the study area. Upon returning to Japan, the team conducted further studies and prepared this final report. I hope that this report will contribute to the promotion of the development programmes identified therein and to the enhancement of friendly relationship between our two countries. Finally, I wish to express my sincere appreciation to the officials concerned of the Government of Kenya for their close cooperation extended to the study. August 2007 Kazuhisa MATSUOKA Vice-President Japan International Cooperation Agency August 2007 Mr. MATSUOKA Kazuhisa Vice-president Japan International Cooperation Agency Tokyo, Japan Letter of Transmittal Dear Mr. MATSUOKA, We are pleased to submit herewith the Final Report on the Development Study for Regional Development Programme in Nyando and Homa Bay Districts in the Republic of Kenya. This Report presents the development programmes of the target two districts formulated with the advices and suggestions of the authorities concerned of the Government of Japan and your Agency. Also included were comments made by the national steering committee members chaired by the Ministry of Planning and National Development (MoPND) during the technical discussions on the draft final report which were held at Nairobi in May 2007. The overall objective of this Study is to contribute to poverty reduction of the local population in the Study Districts based primarily upon coordinated and integrated development activities amongst all the development stakeholders. The Study has been conducted in partnership with and by guidance from the MoPND, and incorporated the views of the beneficiaries and other stakeholders such as relevant departments at the districts, local authorities, international funding agencies, NGOs, etc. The process of this Study centered on the following which themselves were the objectives of the Study: 1) To formulate a Development Programme for sustainable development for each of the two districts, and present the planning approach and methodology based upon bottom-up approach, and 2) To enhance the capacity of the counterparts to promote and lead development, which contributes to raising the ownership of the Government in the process of the programme implementation. To attain the above objectives, this Study was carried out in a phasing manner divided into two; namely, Phase 1 dealing mainly with situation analysis, participatory workshops, formulation of the draft Development Programme and identification of some potential pilot projects, and Phase 2 which was further divided into two; former part of which was to undertake the preparation and mobilization of the pilot projects, and later part of which was to implement the pilot and present the final version of the Development Programme upon feeding-back all the lessons therein. The Phase I study started at the end of June 2005, and the Study itself completed in July 2007 upon presenting this Final Report. We wish to take this opportunity to express our sincere gratitude to your Agency, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and relevant authorities of the Government of Japan. We also wish to express our deep gratitude to MoPND, the counterpart agency, in the Republic of Kenya for the close cooperation and assistances extended to us during our investigation and study.

  • Kenya General Elections, 2017
    FINAL REPORT REPUBLIC OF KENYA General Elections 2017 REPUBLIC OF KENYA European Union Election Observation Mission FINAL REPORT General Elections 2017 January 2018 This report contains the findings of the EU Election Observation Mission (EOM) on the general elections 2017 in Kenya. The EU EOM is independent from the European Union’s institutions, and therefore this report is not an official position of the European Union. KEY CONCLUSIONS OF THE EU EOM KENYA 2017 1. The Kenyan people, including five million young people able to vote for the first time, showed eagerness to participate in shaping the future of their country. However, the electoral process was damaged by political leaders attacking independent institutions and by a lack of dialogue between the two sides, with escalating disputes and violence. Eventually the opposition withdrew its presidential candidate and refused to accept the legitimacy of the electoral process. Structural problems and specific electoral issues both need to be addressed meaningfully to prevent problems arising during future elections. 2. Electoral reform needs to be carried out well in advance of any election, and to be based on broad consensus. The very late legal amendments and appointment of the leadership of the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) before the 2017 elections put excessive pressure on the new election administration. 3. Despite efforts to improve the situation, there was a persistent lack of trust in the IEBC by the opposition and other stakeholders, demonstrating the need for greater independence and accountability as well as for sustained communication and more meaningful stakeholder consultation. There was improved use of technology, but insufficient capacity or security testing.

  • Yield and Nutritive Attributes Are Not Considered by Farmers in Choice of Sweet Potato Varieties Grown in East Kamagak Location – Homabay County-Kenya
    The International Journal Of Science & Technoledge (ISSN 2321 – 919X) www.theijst.com THE INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF SCIENCE & TECHNOLEDGE Yield and Nutritive Attributes Are Not Considered by Farmers in Choice of Sweet Potato Varieties Grown in East Kamagak Location – Homabay County-Kenya Onyango Rosally Ph.D. Student, Department of Agricultural Science and Technology, Kenyatta University, Nairobi, Kenya Dr. Wilson Thagana Senior Lecturer, Department of Agricultural Science and Technology, Kenyatta University, Nairobi, Kenya Dr. Joseph Gweyi Senior Lecturer, Department of Agricultural Science and Technology, Kenyatta University, Nairobi, Kenya Dr. Laura Karanja Researcher, Kenya Agricultural Research Institute, Njoro, Kenya Abstract: Sweet potato is one of the most important crops for food security and income generation in Kenya. The crop is increasing in importance as adverse climate changes limit crop production in many areas. Understanding the genetic diversity of germplasm of crop species is of importance for its rational management and use. Identification of the sweet potato landraces is paramount in addressing food security not only in the study region but elsewhere in the country. Morphological characterization of the accessions facilitates the identification of duplicates and unique traits which is important in the future improvement of the crop having the desired characteristics. The study aimed at identifying the factors that farmers consider in selecting the sweet potato variety to plant in East Kamagak location of Rachuonyo District, Homabay County. The experiment started with survey and germplasm collection aided by use of questionnaire. The accessions were used for morphological characterization, The results showed that 30% 0f the farmers selected sweet potato to plant based on taste compared to 24% farmers who preferred high yielding varieties.
