Submitted by: ……………………………………………………… Designation: ……………………………………………………….. Signature: ……………………………………………………. Date: …………………………………………………………….. ii EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Background of the Project The Government of the Republic of Kenya (GoK) has earmarked funds through the Development Vote for use in engaging the consultancy services to undertake preliminary and detailed engineering design of Feasibility Study, Environmental and Social Impact Study, Preliminary and Detailed Engineering Design of Kiambu – Ngewa –Kibichoi (B30) Road. Through the government's implementing agency, the Kenya National Highways Authority (KeNHA) will require the implementing Consultancy firm to render all technical support services relevant to this exercise. The detailed description of the consulting services to be performed is described in these Terms of Reference (TOR). The study for design shall incorporate design for access roads to key Government institutions including but not limited to schools, colleges and other Government offices. Major loop roads and through townships and bypasses or market centers along the road shall also be included. Also design of interchanges where necessary shall be undertaken. The ESIA study will provide the decision makers in the Government of Kenya, with sufficient environmental and social related information to construct sections of the road to all-weather bitumen road while rehabilitating and/or improving some sections to serve the estimated future traffic. This may include widening or dualling sections of the road as may be demanded by the traffic studies. The hereby ESIA details on the positive and negative effects of the development, recommended appropriate solutions to minimize any undesirable effects resulting from improvements of the road. Project Description The road is entirely located in Kiambu County. Although the project title is Kiambu – Ngewa – Kibichoi (B30) road which is approximately 22km long, the scope of work extends beyond, covering the entire B30 road. It is approximately 62 kilometres and commences on a Junction B32/B30 (Kiambu road, opposite Kiambu Institute of Science and Technology) and proceeds through Kirigiti, Riabai, Ngewa, Kibichoi, Nembu, Ichaweri, Gatundu, Kang’oo, Mang’u and ends at Junction B30/A2 Thika Super Highway. Summarized herewith are the road sections that have been subjected to an environmental impact assessment. Length Road Section Task/Requirements (in Km) Kiambu - Ngewa Design to dual carriageway road standards 12 Design to single carriageway rural road Ngewa - Kibichoi 10 standards Kibichoi -Nembu -Icaweri Road capacity and pavement evaluation 11 Ichaweri - Gatundu - Kang’oo Road capacity and pavement evaluation 11 Design to single carriageway rural road Kang’oo - Mang’u 4 standards Mang’u - Junction B30/A2 Thika Design to dual carriageway road standards 14 Highway Total 62 i Project Cost The rates and prices for major items have been generated from first principles taking into account direct costs (labour input cost, construction plant and equipment owning and operating charges, temporary materials, permanent materials inclusive of wastage) and indirect costs including insurance/risk coverage and contractor’s overheads and profit. The unit cost rates used in the Engineers Estimate have been moderated by comparing the rates derived with actual contract rates from ongoing and recently completed road projects congruous to the B30 road. Construction Cost Supervision Cost Total project cost Option 1 KSh. 10,441,645,568.32 KSh. 10,781,363,168.32 KSh. 339,717,600 Option 2 KSh. 10,628,638,614.92 KSh. 10,968,356,214.92 Purpose and Objectives of the Project The ESIA study will provide the decision makers in the Government of Kenya, with sufficient information to construct sections of the road to all-weather bitumen road while rehabilitating and/or improving some sections to serve the estimated future traffic. This may include widening or dueling sections of the road as may be demanded by the traffic studies. The purpose of this study and its overall objective is to ensure that all the environmental concerns are integrated in the implementation of the project cycle in order to contribute to sustainable development of the general project area and areas in close proximity to it. There is the need to assess the potential environmental impacts and socioeconomic conditions which will be associated with the activities for the proposed initiative. Secondly, the study is intended to propose workable mitigation measures and thirdly to formulate an environmental management and monitoring plan articulating the mitigation measures, responsible persons, frequency of monitoring, required resources, time frame for its implementation and possible costs. The specific objectives are:- To identify direct or indirect impacts to the natural and human environment and after acquiring a road corridor of 40 meters. To gain public views, concern and value in regards to the proposed project by consulting key stakeholders, PAPs living or have property in close proximity to the proposed project, interested parties and key informants. To determine the significance levels of the identified impacts. To recommend preventive, mitigation and compensative measures for the significant negative impacts of the project on human and natural environment. Conduct census of all the PAPs and develop a full Resettlement Action Plan Undertake comprehensive Land Acquisition Plan (LAP) and Resettlement Action Plans (RAP) for each of the proposed transport development option. To develop an environmental, social management and monitoring plan (EMMP) for the identified impacts. ii Policy, Legal and Administrative Framework The Environmental Management and Coordination Act (EMCA), 1999 provides for the establishment of a legal and institutional framework for the management of the environment and for matters connected therewith and incidental thereto. Under EMCA, there are several subsidiary legislations and guidelines which govern environmental management and are relevant to the project implementation. On social issues related to the project, relevant legislations to the project includes the Kenya National Aids Strategic Plan, Sexual offence Act on prevention and the protection of all persons from harm from unlawful sexual acts, especially youth and the vulnerable persons in close proximity to the project sites. Environmental and Socio-Economic Baseline Conditions of the Project Area Physical Environment The project area is within the lower highland topographical zone of Kiambu. The area is characterised by hills, plateaus, and high-elevation plains. The area lies between 1,500-1,800 metres above sea level and is generally a dairy zone though some activities like maize, small scale farming and horticultural crops are also practiced. The annual rainfall varies, with higher areas receiving as high as 2,000 mm and lower areas of Thika Town constituency receiving as low as 600 mm. The average rainfall received by the county is 1,200 mm. The mean temperature within the project area ranges from 7oC in the some parts of Gatundu North, Gatundu South to 34oC in the lower midland zone found partly in Thika town. Land Use Within the areas traversed by the project road, there are three categories of land that were identified, viz., public land is approximately 5%, community land 0.01%, whereas private land is approximately 94.99%. Most of the land within the proposed road corridor is privately owned. The average mean holding size of land is approximately 0.045 hectares on small scale and 69.5 hectares on large scale. The small land holdings are mostly found in upper parts of Gatundu North and Gatundu South. There is a trend of land use changes, whereby the percentage of existing agricultural land is being overtaken by other land use, especially real estate. Gender Issues. The study approached more females (56%) as compared to males (44%). During the construction phase, the project proponent should therefore factor in gender based programs which aim at including females who might be under-represented though they are the majority in regards to project implementation and benefits. iii Summary of the Environmental and Socio-economic Impacts and Mitigation Measures Anticipated Social Economic Project Activities Proposed Mitigation Measures Impacts Pre-construction Phase Carry out a comprehensive RAP to address PAPs issues of concern in Loss of land, livelihood and land acquisition and road alignment property through road process. alignment.

  • Economic E Ciency Analysis of Banana Farmers in Kiambu East District of Kenya
    Journal of Developments in Sustainable Agriculture. : ++2ῌ +,1 ( ,**3 ) Economic E$ ciency Analysis of Banana Farmers in Kiambu East District of Kenya: Technical Ine$$ ciency and Marketing E ciency Stephen Mutuku Nzioka Graduate School of Life and Environmental Sciences, University of Tsukuba, Tsukuba, Ibaraki-*/ῌ 2/1, , Japan Approximately2*ῌ of Kenya’s population lives in rural areas and derives its livelihood largely from agriculture. Agriculture makes up about,0ῌ of Kenya’s gross domestic product, and banana production occupies,ῌ of Kenya’s arable land. Bananas are grown both as a source of food and household income to millions of rural Kenyans; however, production has been declining in the last, decades. My objective was to examine banana production and marketing in Kiambu East District, with the aims of improving levels of banana production by small-scale farmers and making recommendations to improve marketing e$ ciency. A structured questionnaire was given to farmers in- Divisions of Kiambu East District: Githunguri, Municipality, and Kiambaa. A frontier production function was established, and results indicated that farmers operated at about 0*ῌ of the optimum production level because of technical ine $ ciency, resulting in low levels of production by individual farmers. If farmers received training on how to manage their traditional bananas and organized into marketing groups, they could improve their bargaining power and increase household income to as much as - times current levels. Farmers therefore should form production and marketing groups to grow and market their bananas collectively. Farmers also need to be given management training and financial assistance to grow higher yielding varieties of bananas (e.g., Tissue Culture bananas).

GITHUNGURI HIGH SCHOOL– RUIRU/KIAMBU (KENYA) – A Case Study Githunguri High School is a mixed day school in Ruiru peri- urban area called Gitambaya. The students are drawn from this settlement which is a low income area with a majority of the population being factory workers/construction site workers. There is a lot of anti-social lifestyle e.g. drugs, prostitution, broken families and child neglect. The school acts like a safe haven/second home for many of these students due to the kind of challenges they face from home. Attracting and retaining students. At the inception of ADSI in 2016, the school had a student population of 287 students with only a quarter being boys and the rest were girls. By 2019 the schools population has grown to a population of 144 boys and 207 girls totaling to 351 students in the school. This is an 18.54% increase overall in enrolment. There has been an increase in the number of boys at the school due to the introduction of integration of ICTs in the lessons. Majority of the boys at the school appreciate ICT and would like to participate in these lessons. The in cooperation of 21C skills in teaching and learning has also encouraged students to stay in school and attend lessons. Incorporation of 21C skills means that students are not bored as they are actively involved in learning. A fully operational computer lab has also boosted the students’ moral. This is because they can walk into the computer lab and carry out their online searches.
