While taking into account the performance of rainfall in the three preceding seasons, teams assessed impacts of 2011 short rains on water quality and access; crop and livestock production; nutrition and health; markets and trade; and education. Teams also considered impacts of other hazards such as conflicts, floods, crop pests and high food prices, together with ongoing food and non-food interventions, to assess the level of food availability and access at household level. The teams recommended necessary cross sectoral interventions aimed at addressing immediate short term food security needs and at the same time proposed key medium to long term interventions necessary for tackling food insecurity in a sustainable manner. 1.2 Findings 1.2.1 Numbers and categories of the food insecure According to the assessment findings, the food security status of pastoralists, agropastoralists and marginal agricultural farmers has improved considerably after early onset and above average 2011 short rains in many areas. As a result, Emergency food insecurity has ended, and about 2.2 million people are now classified in either the Crisis or Stressed Phases of food insecurity, down from the previous 3.75 million people. The availability of water, browse and pasture has markedly increased, leading to Figure 1.1: Trends in Numbers Requiring Emergency Cross-Sectoral Interventions significant improvement in livestock productivity. The 70-80 percent of 4,000,000 livestock that migrated has returned 3,500,000 and is currently situated in wet 3,000,000 season grazing areas, near 2,500,000 settlements. Households are 2,000,000 1,500,000 accessing milk though quantities are people of Number below normal as most livestock are 1,000,000 in gestation. The harvesting of short 500,000 rains crops has just concluded 0 March March March March March March leading to improved food access, March August August August August August August particularly in the southeast and 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 coastal marginal agricultural Source: KFSSG lowlands and the agro-pastoral livelihood zones. Conflict incidences over resources have markedly declined in many places. Ongoing interventions that have contributed to improvements in food security include food distribution to 3.75 million people by World Food Program (WFP) through general food distribution, food for assets, cash for assets and unconditional cash transfer modalities; school feeding to 584,000 pupils; supplementary feeding to 100,000 beneficiaries; blanket supplementary feeding program targeting 586,000; and hunger safety net to 60,000 households. 3 The Government and other non-governmental organizations are also providing other assistance programs including food to the food insecure populations. Figure 1.1 shows the trend of population requiring emergency assistance since 2006. Detailed analyses of the factors that have influenced changes in food security classification are in the sections that follow. 1.2.2 Areas classified in the Crisis Phase (IPC Phase 3) About 250,000 people are classified in the Crisis Phase. The households that are classified in the Crisis Phase are described as experiencing significant food consumption gaps with high or above usual rate of malnutrition. Alternatively, household groups in Crisis are marginally able to meet minimum food needs, only with irreversible coping strategies such as liquidating livelihood assets or diverting expenses from essential non-food items. According to the assessment findings, household groups in the Crisis Phase are situated in localized areas of northeastern and northwestern pastoral including Wajir, Mandera, Moyale, Marsabit, Turkana, Tana River and Mwingi as shown in figure 1.2. Though household groups in Crisis received above average rains (Figure 1.3) that led to significant improvements in availability of pasture, browse and water, they have not been able to benefit from enhanced livestock productivity due to low livestock asset holdings. The majority of pastoralists in Crisis include the very poor that usually have low livestock holdings, which have declined by 20-30 percent due to heightened sales and losses through mortalities following successive droughts between 2006 and 2011, for instance in Ijara, Wajir, Mandera and Garissa. Affected households are only able to access less than half a liter of milk per day, compared to 2-3 liters in normal times. Meanwhile, improvements in households purchasing capacities, due to the 90-130 percent above average livestock prices, is not benefiting households in Crisis that are currently building their herds rather than selling livestock. Other factors that are driving the Crisis level of food insecurity in the northeast pastoral are conflicts, insecurity and crop failure in the agro-pastoral zones located in Wajir and Mandera. Insecurity along the Kenya-Somalia border is disrupting market supply routes leading to below normal supply of food and other important items. In addition, transport and transaction costs have increased considerably due to high risk associated with operating within the zone. Conflicts have displaced about 4,200 households from northeast Moyale, into southern Ethiopia and northwest Wajir. The displaced households have increased pressure on water and grazing resources in areas where they have fled to, leading to

  • Sediment Dynamics and Improvised Control Technologies in the Athi River Drainage Basin, Kenya
    Sediment Dynamics in Changing Environments (Proceedings of a symposium held 485 in Christchurch, New Zealand, December 2008). IAHS Publ. 325, 2008. Sediment dynamics and improvised control technologies in the Athi River drainage basin, Kenya SHADRACK MULEI KITHIIA Postgraduate Programme in Hydrology, Department of Geography and Environmental Studies, University of Nairobi, PO Box 30197, 00100 GPO, Nairobi, Kenya [email protected] Abstract In Kenya, the changing of land-use systems from the more traditional systems of the 1960s to the present mechanized status, contributes enormous amounts of sediments due to water inundations. The Athi River drains areas that are subject to intense agricultural, industrial, commercial and population settlement activities. These activities contribute immensely to the processes of soil erosion and sediment transport, a phenomenon more pronounced in the middle and lower reaches of the river where the soils are much more fragile and the river tributaries are seasonal in nature. Total Suspended Sediments (TSS) equivalent to sediment fluxes of 13 457, 131 089 and 2 057 487 t year-1 were recorded in the headwater areas, middle and lower reaches of the river, respectively. These varying trends in sediment transport and amount are mainly due to the chemical composition of the soil coupled with the land-soil conservation measures already in practice, and which started in the 1930s and reached their peak in the early 1980s. This paper examines trends in soil erosion and sediment transport dynamics progressively downstream. The land-use activities and soil conservation, control and management technologies, which focus on minimizing the impacts of overland flow, are examined to assess the economic and environmental sustainability of these areas, communal societal benefits and the country in general.

  • 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.

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.

We investigated the impacts of the reservoirs on people’s livelihoods downstream. The results showed a few positive impacts in the vicinity of the reservoirs and numerous negative impacts downstream (i.e. reduced flood-recess agriculture and floodplain pastoralism, and escalating resource-use conflicts). Inadequate stakeholders’ consultation during reservoir development was also observed. We recommend a detailed basin-wide socioeconomic assessment for future reservoir developments and controlled flood release to simulate the natural flow regime, thereby restoring indigenous flood-based livelihoods while retaining sufficient reserves for power generation. Keywords: River Tana; Kenya; communities’ perception; hydropower development; impact assessment; floods Introduction River basins are the cradles of civilization and cultural heritage. Ancient and modern civilizations first developed in the vicinity of great rivers due to the role of rivers in the provision of food to support livelihoods, inputs for industries, and by providing opportunities for commerce and navigation.
