A Social Constructionist Approach to Health and Wellbeing of Young People in Kenya
International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health Article Bleeding Bodies, Untrustworthy Bodies: A Social Constructionist Approach to Health and Wellbeing of Young People in Kenya Elizabeth Opiyo Onyango 1,2,* and Susan J. Elliott 1 1 Department of Geography and Environmental Management, University of Waterloo, Waterloo, ON N2N 1N2, Canada; [email protected] 2 School of Nursing and Midwifery, Masinde Muliro University of Science and Technology, Kakamega 50100, Kenya * Correspondence: [email protected] or [email protected] Received: 23 September 2020; Accepted: 9 October 2020; Published: 17 October 2020 Abstract: The Sustainable Development Goals provide a global development agenda that is meant to be inclusive of all people. However, the development needs for vulnerable populations such as youth are not reflected within the policy agenda of some developing countries. One of the reasons for this is that research that explores health and wellbeing concerns for young people are sparse in the region and where they exist, the focus has been on marginalized subgroups. To address this gap, this cross-sectional study explored the health and wellbeing of youth in Kenya. We conducted 10 focus group discussions and 14 in-depth interviews with youth ages 15 to 24 years. A thematic analysis of the data revealed that structural factors are important influencers of youth perceptions and their social constructions of health and wellbeing. Kenyan youth are concerned about the health status and healthcare services in their communities, as well as issues of community trust of youths and perceived risks of political misuse and emotional suffering. Our findings suggest that youth transitioning into adulthood in resource-constrained areas experience feelings of powerlessness and inability to take charge over their own life. -

Climate Risk Profile Nyandarua County Highlights
Kenya County Climate Risk Profile Series Climate Risk Profile Nyandarua County Highlights Agriculture is an important source of income, food, and raw materials in Nyandarua County. The sector employs about 69% of the population and contributes approximately 73% to household incomes. Irish potato, peas, dairy cows and local poultry are the most important agricultural value chain commodities in terms of food security, production and income generation. Agricultural productivity is generally low and linked with high incidence of pests and diseases, low technology adoption, limited access to credit, markets and market information, a poor road network, and most importantly, climate-related risks (dry spells, intense rains). Climate has already been observed to change in the County. Since 1981, the first wet season has experienced a moderate (1 ºC) increase in mean temperature and associated reduction in crop cycle, and a slight tendency for increasing precipitation. The second wet season experienced a mild (~0.5 ºC) increase in temperature, and no change in precipitation. Looking to the future in the years of 2021-2065, prolonged moisture stress is projected to occur across both seasons of the year analyzed, whereas intense precipitation looks to change little. The majority of farmers (98%) have adopted at least one on-farm adaptation strategy to cope with climate hazards (floods and droughts). However, resource constraints and poor market linkages hamper adoption rates significantly. Tree planting, water harvesting and agroforestry are adaptation strategies that are widely practised in both livestock and crop sectors. In the crop sector, these adaptation strategies include the use of improved varieties, manure, traditional disease control methods, conservation agriculture, irrigation, and shifting planting dates, among others. -
