  • Livestock Herd Structures and Dynamics in Garissa County, Kenya Patrick Mwambi Mwanyumba1*, Raphael Wahome Wahome2, Laban Macopiyo3 and Paul Kanyari4
    Mwanyumba et al. Pastoralism: Research, Policy and Practice (2015) 5:26 DOI 10.1186/s13570-015-0045-6 SHORT REPORT Open Access Livestock herd structures and dynamics in Garissa County, Kenya Patrick Mwambi Mwanyumba1*, Raphael Wahome Wahome2, Laban MacOpiyo3 and Paul Kanyari4 Abstract In Kenya’s Northeastern Province, pastoralism is the main livestock production system and means of livelihood. However, pastoralists are facing increasing risks such as drought, insecurity, animal diseases, increasing human populations and land fragmentation. This study sought to evaluate household livestock herd structures and dynamics in view of such risks and subsistence and market demands. The study was conducted in Garissa County of Kenya, using a cross-sectional household survey. The data was analysed for descriptive statistics of household livestock status, dynamics and demographic parameters. The results showed that females of reproductive age formed over 50 % of all livestock species. Cattle had the highest turnover and all species’ mortalities accounted for the greater proportion of exits. Cattle had the highest multiplication and growth rates, but also the highest mortality, offtake, commercial offtake and intake rates. Goats had the lowest mortalities, offtake, commercial offtake and intake rates. Overall, the herds were structured to provide for both immediate and future needs in terms of milk, sales and herd replacement as well as for rapid recovery after disasters. The livestock herd dynamics indicate efforts at culling, restocking, retention of valuable categories of animals, and natural events. Livestock populations would be annihilated over time if the trends in end balances and negative growth rates were to continue and not be interrupted by the upward phases of the livestock cycles.

  • Kenya's Somali North East: Devolution and Security
    Kenya’s Somali North East: Devolution and Security Crisis Group Africa Briefing N°114 Nairobi/Brussels, 17 November 2015 I. Overview Devolved government in Kenya’s newly formed north-eastern counties, designed to address decades of political marginalisation and underdevelopment, has been un- dermined by dominant clans monopolising power and growing corruption. Violent clan competition and antipathy between elected county elites and the remaining national administrative structures have allowed the violently extremist Al-Shabaab movement to expand and operate with relative impunity across large areas of the North East. Its attacks exposed security-service disarray and caused a sharp reversal of already stretched state services in this vast and poor region that shares a porous 680km border with Somalia. To end the violence and capitalise on devolution’s potential, county elites must be more inclusive of minorities, cooperate across local boundaries for inter-county peace and recognise the continued role for neutral nation- al institutions. National government should recognise where pragmatism can trump convention and back new security approaches that combine national and county responses. Rampant criminality, inter-clan animosities and small-arms proliferation stretch policing and render highly insecure the sprawling refugee camps that host more than 350,000 Somali nationals fleeing the conflict in their country. This is compounded by Al-Shabaab infiltration, radicalisation and recruitment – especially in a border- land region where the
