Detecting Forest Degradation in Marakwet District, Kenya, Using Remote Sensing and GIS
Seminar series nr 200 Detecting forest degradation in Marakwet district, Kenya, using remote sensing and GIS – in cooperation with SCC-Vi Agroforestry A Minor Field Study Naemi Gunlycke and Anja Tuomaala 201 1 Geobiosphere Science Centre Physical Geography and Ecosystems Analysis Lund University Sölvegatan 12 S-223 62 Lund Sweden Detecting forest degradation in Marakwet district, Kenya, using remote sensing and GIS – in cooperation with SCC-Vi Agroforestry A Minor Field Study Naemi Gunlycke and Anja Tuomaala 2011 Master’s Degree in Physical Geography and Ecosystem Analysis Supervisors Jonas Åkerman Department of Earth and Ecosystem Sciences Lund University Karin Larsson Department of Earth and Ecosystem Sciences Lund University Ola Hall Centre of Geographical Information Systems Lund University Abstract Deforestation is a widespread problem and has many negative impacts. The biggest threat to forest is human activities. Despite increasing efforts regarding forest management and forest conservation, the deforestation continues at a high rate to give space for other land uses such as agriculture and pasture. The world’s population continues to grow and Africa is the continent with fastest growing population. During the last 100 years this has led to major changes in the African landscape, and Kenya is no exception. This MFS (Minor Field Study) was conducted in cooperation with the nongovernmental organization SCC-Vi Agroforestry. The study area is located in Marakwet district in western Kenya and the district has one of the largest remaining natural forests in the country. At the same time, the area is experiencing ongoing illegal deforestation. The aim of the study was to investigate and map the deforestation in the study area during the 23 years period from 1986 to 2009 by using satellite data. -

CDCCENTERS FOR DISEASE CONTROLKenya AND PREVENTION • KENYA Annual Report 2015 iii CDC Kenya 2015 Annual Report Message from the Director Colleagues and Friends, “Preventing epidemics through our global health security agenda. Making sure that we are not just reacting to something like the Ebola crisis, but that we are systematically putting in place the kinds of global networks and responses that can help countries not only help their own people, but also make sure that … our own people are not put in harm’s way.” (President Obama, during his remarks to the Chief of Missions Conference at the State Department, March 14, 2016.) These comments by President Obama well describe the mission of CDC’s global work and remind us of the President’s historic visit to Kenya in July 2015. I am pleased to share this short report summarizing CDC Kenya’s activities during 2015, the year the world was to have delivered on the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). In addition to intense work to initiate activities under the Global Health Security Agenda, CDC Kenya continued productive research on malaria, HIV, tuberculosis, diarrhea, pneumonia, zoonotic diseases and neglected tropical diseases. Our programs supporting the President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) focused on working towards the 90:90:90 vision (identify 90% of people living with HIV; ensure 90% of them access antiretroviral therapy; and ensure 90% of those on treatment are virally suppressed) first defined by UNAIDS, and measuring impact. -

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.

A COLLECTION OF 100 TACHONI PROVERBS AND WISE SAYINGS By ANNASTASI OISEBE African Proverbs Working Group NAIROBI, KENYA AUGUST, 2017. ACKNOWLEDGEMENT I wish to acknowledge and thank the relentless effort for all those who played a major part in completion of this document. My utmost thanks go to Fr. Joseph G. Healey, both financial and moral support. My special thanks goes to CephasAgbemenu, Margaret Ireri and Elias Bushiri who guided me accordingly to ensure that my research was completed. Furthermore I also want to thank Edwin Kola for his enormous assistance, without forgetting publishers of Tachoni proverbs and resources who made this research possible. DEDICATION I dedicate this work to my parents Anthony and Margret Oisebe and the entire African Proverbs working group Nairobi and all readers of African literature. INTRODUCTION Location The Tachoni (We shall be back in Kalenjin) are Kalenjins assimilated by Luhya people of Western Kenya, sharing land with the Bukusu tribe. They live mainly in Webuye, Chetambe Hills, Ndivisi (of Bungoma County) and the former Lugari District in the Kakamega County. Most Tachoni clans living in Bungoma speak the 'Lubukusu' dialect of the Luhya language making them get mistaken as Bukusus. They spread to Trans-Nzoia County especially around Kitale, Mumias and Busia. The ethnic group is rich in beliefs and taboos. The most elaborate cultural practice they have is circumcision. The ethnographical location of the Tachoni ethnic group in Kenya Myth of Origin One of the most common myths among the Luhya group relates to the origin of the Earth and human beings. According to this myth, Were (God) first created Heaven, then Earth. -
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. -
