Kenya Off-Grid Solar Access Project SFG3187 V1 Public Disclosure Authorized KENYA OFF-GRID SOLAR ACCESS PROJECT Public Disclosure Authorized (K-OSAP) ENVIRONMENTAL & SOCIAL MANAGEMENT FRAMEWORK Public Disclosure Authorized March 2017 Public Disclosure Authorized BASIC INFORMATION 1. Country and Project Name: KENYA OFF-GRID SOLAR ACCESS PROJECT (K-OSAP) 2. Project Development Objective: to increase access to electricity services in underserved counties in Kenya 3. Expected Project Benefits: Beneficiaries will be households, public and community institutions, enterprises and community facilities that cannot access electricity through the national grid and whose use of electricity will replace kerosene and other fuels for lighting and other activities like pumping water. Another set of beneficiaries of the project will be host communities around refugee camps who will be provided with efficient cooking stoves (“jikos”) to replace fuel wood and charcoal for cooking 4. Identified Project Social Risks: Minimal adverse social risks are anticipated under this project because the installation of solar systems will take place within existing households and public facilities. Recipient: Government of Kenya – Ministry of Energy and Petroleum Responsible Government/Country Agency for ESMF Implementation: Ministry of Energy and Petroleum (MoEP), Rural Electrification Authority (REA), Kenya Power and Lighting Company Limited (KPLC) and County Governments in the target areas. Total Project Cost (USD million): 155 Million USD Date ESMF was Prepared: March, 2017 1 The Environmental & Social Management Framework (ESMF) has been prepared by Environment & Social Unit, Safety, Health & Environment (SHE) Department of Kenya Power, REA and MoEP. The ESMF has been prepared based on an overall Environmental & Social Assessment, which includes: The general baseline at project areas. Evaluation of potential Environmental & Social impacts of project and Assessment of environmental practices in different ongoing and completed projects. The ESMF provides the guidelines for the preparation of all mitigation plans (Environmental & Social Management Plans and Construction Management Plan) to respond to the anticipated project impacts, once the project locations are finalized. 2 ENVIRONMENTAL & SOCIAL MANAGEMENT FRAMEWORK: KENYA OFF GRID SOLAR ACCESS PROJECT (K-OSAP) TABLE OF CONTENTS EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Muturi) in the Chair] PRAYERS PETITIONS REVIEW OF HEALTH CARE SYSTEM/MISMANAGEMENT OF MURANG’A UNIVERSITY Hon. Speaker: Hon. Members, I have a petition relating to two issues; review of the health care system and alleged mismanagement of Murang’a University College; it is Petition No.8 of 2015. Hon. Members, Standing Order No.225(2)(b) requires that the Speaker reports to the House any petition other than those presented through a Member. I therefore wish to convey to the House that my office is in receipt of two petitions. The first is signed by one Mr. Bernard Kiprotich Cheruiyot, a resident of Bomet County, regarding the review of the health care system nationally. In that petition, the Petitioner prays that the National Assembly, through the Departmental Committee on Health:- (i) initiates a process of amending the Constitution and all the relevant laws to rearrange the health care system in order to revert certain aspects of health service provision, particularly those affecting human resource, to the national Government; (ii) empowers county governments to venture into other aspects such as infrastructure development and procurement of drugs; and (iii) establishes a new Health Service Commission that will offer incentives to medical practitioners in order to curb brain drain and equitably distribute professionals across the country. Hon. Members, pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order No.227, the petition now stands committed to the Departmental Committee on Health.

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.

  • Economics of Harvesting and Marketing Selected Indigenous Fruits in Mwingi District, Kenya
    ECONOMICS OF HARVESTING AND MARKETING SELECTED INDIGENOUS FRUITS IN MWINGI DISTRICT, KENYA By: C. M. Mwema J. K. Lagat and B. K. Mutai Invited paper presented at the 4th International Conference of the African Association of Agricultural Economists, September 22-25, 2013, Hammamet, Tunisia Copyright 2013 by [authors]. All rights reserved. Readers may make verbatim copies of this document for non-commercial purposes by any means, provided that this copyright notice appears on all such copies. 107- ECONOMICS OF HARVESTING AND MARKETING SELECTED INDIGENOUS FRUITS IN MWINGI DISTRICT, KENYA C.M. Mwema 1*, J.K. Lagat1 and B.K. Mutai1 1 Egerton University, Department of Agricultural Economics, P.O. Box 536-20115, Egerton, Kenya. Abstract Constant droughts especially in the Arid and Semi-Arid Lands (ASAL) have led to recurrent crop failures and livestock losses. Households have therefore resulted to other alternatives which can provide both food and income. Trade in indigenous fruits contributes to livelihoods through income generation and as a safety net for consumption and income smoothing. This paper presents the analysis of economic returns from harvesting and marketing indigenous fruits and the socio economic factors that influence participation in trade of indigenous fruits. The results are based on a survey conducted in Nuu division, Mwingi District, where 120 randomly selected households were interviewed using a pre-tested semi-structured questionnaire. Logistic regression model, Gross Margin Analysis, and Benefit cost ratios were used during the analysis. Data was processed and analyzed using SPSS20. The Gross margins depicted harvesting of indigenous fruits for trade as a profitable venture. High benefit cost ratios of greater than 3.0 were reported in all the three fruits under study.
