EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Pure Earth (PE) is an international not-for-profit organization dedicated to solving pollution problems in low and middle-income countries. Since 2009 PE has been implementing the Toxic Sites Identification Program (TSIP) in Kenya, which is an effort to identify and screen contaminated sites in low and middle-income countries where public health is at risk. TSIP has been supported by The United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO), European Commission (EC), Asian Development Bank (ADB), United States Agency for International Development (USAID), World Bank (WB), and Green Cross Switzerland. The contaminated sites in Kenya were identified by trained investigators drawn from universities in Kenya, using the Initial Site Screening (ISS) protocol. The ISS identifies major elements of a contaminated site, including estimated population at risk, key pollutant information, human exposure pathway data and sampling data. To date, a total of 132 sites located in 8 regions, namely Central, Coast, Eastern, Nairobi Area, North-Eastern, Nyanza, Rift Valley, Western, have been identified using the ISS protocol. Investigators collected soil samples and measured levels of toxicity using an Alpha Xray Fluorescence (XRF) instrument. Sources of pollution included: mining, agriculture, used lead acid battery (ULAB) recycling, and dumpsites. Various key pollutants included lead, arsenic, cadmium, chromium, mercury, PCBs, pesticides, and VOCs. Of these pollutants, lead was found in 61% of the sites, arsenic in 19%, elemental mercury in 8%, chromium in 4%, cadmium in 3%, chromium (Hex) in 1%, VOCs in 1%, PCBs in 1%, pesticides in 1%, and other pollutants in 1%. In partnership with UNIDO and the EC, of the 132 sites assessed to date, 15 initial site screenings were conducted in 2016 (See Table 3). The following pollutants were identified: lead (7); chromium (2); mercury (1); arsenic (5); estimated to put a total of 384,352 people at risk for exposure. The concentrations of lead at the sites ranged from 193 to 100,000 ppm, which translates to great risks to human health. Arsenic was present in 3 artisanal gold mining sites (2 in Rift Valley and 1 in Nyanza). In the Western region, lead concentrations Pure Earth 475 Riverside Drive, Suite 860 New York, NY, USA +1 212 647 8330 www.pureearth.org 1 ranged from 25,500 to 60,000 ppm, resulting in a Blacksmith Index score of 6 and 7 respectively, well above Blacksmith’s recommended standards. Chromium (Hex) was present at one site in Nairobi with concentrations ranging from 872 ppm to 4,021 ppm. Elemental mercury in Nyanza had concentrations of 4.3 and 5.49 ppm. These assessments showed that in addition to lead exposures from ULAB recycling operations, other sources of contamination also pose great risks to human health throughout the country. This report provides the following recommendations to the Government of Kenya: • Conduct detailed assessments for sites displaying high concentrations of pollutants in order to better understand the distribution and magnitude of contamination, and to develop feasible and cost-effective remediation plans to address identified problems • Continue to use the ISS protocol to identify and assess additional sites in order to determine locations of contaminated sites in all seven regions of the country • Create a national assessment/inventory program based on the TSIP protocol • Continue to use the data in the existing TSIP database (www.contaminatedsites.org) to make informed decisions about solving the country’s pollution problems • Conduct needs assessments to determine internal capacity and to identify priority areas BACKGROUND Kenya has one of the most dynamic economies in Africa, yet it is facing a number of pressing economic, environmental, and social challenges. Natural resource depletion, environmental pollution, high poverty rates, and rising unemployment threaten the country’s ability to prosper. Human activities and settlements have brought unprecedented disruption to Kenya’s ecosystems. In addition, the sources of pollution from e-waste and industries that generate e- waste, such as manufacturers and distributors of electrical and electronic equipment, are increasing. The country’s economy is highly dependent on climate-sensitive sectors such as agriculture, hydroelectric energy generation, and tourism. The informal sector, which employs some eighty percent of the nation’s workers, is a primary contributor to the region’s pollution burden. Waste from these unregulated industries, including mercury from small-scale gold mining and lead from Used Lead-Acid Batteries (ULABs), is an under-recognized issue that can have negative health consequences for communities across the region. Pure Earth began implementing the Toxic Sites Identification Program (TSIP) in Kenya in 2009. In 2016, with continued funding from the EC and in partnership with UNIDO, Pure Earth Pure Earth 475 Riverside Drive, Suite 860 New York, NY, USA +1 212 647 8330 www.pureearth.org 2 expanded its work in the country, aiming to identify and screen contaminated sites with potential human health impact. The specific outputs planned for the activity included creating a regional inventory of sites, developing partnerships with local stakeholders and relevant agencies, and identifying possible priority interventions based on assessment of potential health risks. TOXIC SITE IDENTIFICATION PROGRAM (TSIP) The TSIP identifies active and abandoned hazardous waste sites resulting from both formal and informal industrial activities in low and middle-income countries (LMICs). It does not include exposure

    Nairobi County Nairobi County at a glance Nairobi is the Capital City of Kenya and borders Kiambu County to the north west, north and north east, Machakos to the east and south east, Kajiado to the south, south west and west Area: 695 km² Population: 3,138,369 (Male - 51%, Female - 49%) Accountability and Governance The Constitution of Kenya (2010) has provided the opportunity for resources to be transferred to a new level of government at the grassroots. While devolution has created a new reform space for more responsive, equitable, efficient and accountable local service delivery, converting this into actual transformation at the grassroots will depend on the quality of county institutions charged with this responsibility. Since devolution entails the simultaneous transfer of power and resources to an entire new level of government, counties face unique challenges that demand innovative solutions. The EU is therefore working with the Government of Kenya to promote transparency and accountability in the management of county public finances. Sound economic and political governance will allow the residents of all counties to reap the benefits that devolution promises to bring to the people. Sustainable Infrastructure The EU together with its development partners, has committed to continue supporting Kenya in its infrastructure projects with a focus on energy, transport, water and sanitation and housing. This is in line with Vision 2030 (MTPII) and the government’s Big Four agenda. The EU is also supporting the country towards the modernisation its energy infrastructure with a special focus on development of renewable, affordable and reliable energy sources. This support is also targeting access to energy in rural areas in Kenya in order to increase the economic and social development of communities, households, and to spur the creation and growth of energy-based and reliant small enterprises.

  • Nairobi-Thika-Transp
    FOREWORD I am pleased to introduce this 10-plan year which is a road map on how the Nairobi - Thika Superhighway Transport Corridor (NTTC) is geared to develop. This is the first comprehensive spatial plan covering the NTTC, which is within Ruiru and Juja Sub-Counties and it has been prepared at a time when Kiambu County is grappling with the challenges of tackling rapid urbanisation. I am happy to note that, this plan has been prepared in a participatory manner taking into account the contributions of various stakeholders whose role in the implementation of the proposals is fundamental. Kiambu is the third most urbanised County after Nairobi and Mombasa and has witnessed rapid urbanisation in the few decades with people moving into the County to settle, set business, and undertake other development activities. The NTTC has witnessed rapid urbanisation coupled with high population growth and economic activities in the last ten years since the onset of devolved government and the upgrading of the Nairobi-Thika Highway thus changing the corridor’s character. Due to this rapid growth as a County, we are expected to commit more investments to cope with this expansion. More people need to be accommodated in a suitable environment with ease of movement, adequate physical and social infrastructure and employment opportunities. However, most of this urbanisation is happening with little or no planning intervention as characterised by piecemeal subdivision and land-use conversions. Due to the absence of planning tools like the Plan to guide and manage this rapid urbanisation, the current development in these areas is suffering from uncoordinated growth, land use conflict, inadequate basic infrastructure facilities and services, poor housing, and inefficient public transportation system, amongst other challenges.

  • Youth, Peace and Security in Kenya by Olawale Ismail
    Youth, peace and Security in Kenya by Olawale Ismail Youth, Peace and Security in Kenya Revised Draft 12/12/2017 1 Youth, peace and Security in Kenya by Olawale Ismail 1. Introduction Kenya underscores the spirit and letter of UNSC Resolution 2250 in many ways. Over the last decade, Kenya’s political-security volatility has been well documented by extant research and media reports. Incidence of political and election-related violence, radicalization and violent extremism, inter-ethnic and inter-communal clashes, pastoralist violence, and state-led violence dot Kenya’s peace and security landscape in the last 10 years. While most of these peace and security issues predate the last decade, their scale, spread, intensity and impacts are unprecedented. As in similar contexts, much of research and policy attention have focused mostly on the role of young women and men largely as victims and perpetrators of violence, respectively. However, emerging pointers, as encapsulated in UNSCR 2250, signpost the crucial role and contribution of young people to preventing violence, responding to violence and rebuilding peace, and informed contributions to the security and stability of communities, countries and world at large. Kenya is no different; female and male youth on their own and/or in collaboration with other stakeholders, actively contributes to conflict prevention, reconciliation and peacebuilding in Kenya. Accordingly, this report presents an overview of the contemporary peace and security challenges in Kenya, and the responses of young people in the form of their roles and contributions to peacebuilding efforts. This case-study was commissioned by UNFPA and PBSO for the Progress Study on YPS requested by SCR 2250, with funding support from SIDA.

  • Kenya: Nutrition Profile
    Kenya: Nutrition Profile Malnutrition in childhood and pregnancy has many adverse consequences for child survival and long-term well-being. It also has far-reaching consequences for human capital, economic productivity, and national development overall. The consequences of malnutrition should be a significant concern for policymakers in Kenya, where out of a total under-5 population of 7 million, 1.82 million children (26 percent) are suffering from chronic malnutrition (stunting or low height-for-age) (Kenya National Bureau of Statistics (KNBS) et al. 2015). In addition, although malnutrition indicators are improving, it is estimated that from 2010–2030 undernutrition will cost Kenya approximately US$38.3 billion in GDP due to losses in workforce productivity (USAID 2017a). Background Kenya’s economy grew rose by an estimated 5.8 percent in 2016, making Kenya one of the fastest-growing economies in Sub-Saharan Africa (World Bank 2017). This growth was supported by a stable macroeconomic environment, low oil prices, a rebound in tourism, strong remittance practices, and government-led infrastructure development. However, political turmoil during the presidential elections in 2017, in which at least 55 Kenyans died, may slow growth (World Bank 2017; USAID 2017b). Agriculture is the backbone of the economy and central to the government’s development strategy, employing more than 75 percent of the workforce and accounting for more than a fourth of the country’s gross domestic product (USAID 2017a). However, agricultural productivity has been stagnating in recent years due to frequent droughts, floods, and climate change; only about 20 percent of Kenyan land is suitable for farming.
