  • Services, Maasai Women, Kenya
    Public Health Research 2012, 2(6): 213-220 DOI: 10.5923/j.phr.20120206.07 Persistent Utilization of Unskilled Birth Attendants’ Services among Maasai Women in Kajiado County, Kenya Kimani Harun1,*, Mituko Shelmith2, Daniel Muia3 1Department of community health, Kenyatta University, Nairobi, Kenya 2Department of Infection Control, Africa Infectious Diseases’ Village Clinics, Loitoktok, Kenya 3Department of Sociology, Kenyatta University, Nairobi, Kenya Abstract Despite recommendations for skilled reproductive health (RH) attendance, the contrary persists in sub-Saharan Africa. This study described the utilization of Unskilled Birth Attendants’ (UBA) services among women after adoption of the 2007 Kenyan RH policy. The services offered to women by Traditional Birth Attendants (TBAs) and factors associated with this persistent utilization of unskilled care were studied. A total of 328 Maasai women, 15 TBAs and 3 key informants participated in the study. Questionnaires, interviews and 28 days TBA activities’ register were used to collect data. The study area was selected purposively due to high utilization of UBAs while women were sampled randomly. Odds ratios, 95% C.I. and inferential statistics at p <0.05 compared those utilizing unskilled care with those who did not. Most women, 84.1% (276) utilized unskilled RH services at least once and 68% during delivery alone. TBAs offered RH services to 453 clients in 28days. Of those services, 36.4%, 35.3%, 25.2% and 3.1% were antenatal, delivery, postnatal and family planning respectively. Low education, advanced age and high parity were significantly associated to UBA utilization at p<0.05. The persistent utilization of UBAs services was attributed to availability of UBAs, ignorance of and poor access to skilled services.

  • Osupuko, Nailepu and Kilitome Community Conservancy Management Plan 2011-2015
    Osupuko, Nailepu and Kilitome Community Conservancy Management Plan 2011-2015 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Osupuko, Nailepu and Kilitome Community Conservancy (ONKCC) is in the Kimana group ranch found in the District of Loitokitok of southern Kenya. It is an important dispersal area for Amboseli and Chyulu-Tsavo West wildlife. Kimana Group ranch is among the six group ranches in the district including Mbirikani, Olgulului, Kuku, Rombo and Eselenkei (Figure 1). The group ranch acts as a very important migration corridor for all wildlife, particularly in the wet season when animals traditionally leave Amboseli Park and travel to Tsavo or occupy areas around the park. It is also the only open area in the traditional elephant dispersal corridor between Tsavo and Amboseli. In recent years, however, this dispersal area has been shrinking, leaving less and less space for animals such as elephants. If this corridor is blocked, Amboseli will be ecologically choked. Figure 1: A map of Loitokitok District group ranches showing the location of Kimana Group Ranch where ONKCC is situated Although the Maasai people inhabiting the Kimana Group Ranch of the Amboseli-Tsavo dispersal area in southern Kenya have traditionally been nomadic pastoralists, large changes in land use and land tenure has occurred in the area. Migrants into the area as well as resident Maasai have been converting to agriculture, drawn by the profits brought by the farming of such crops as onions and tomatoes. Land has been divided into individual parcels and fences have been put up to protect farms from crop raiding wildlife, particularly in areas where there are natural springs that allow irrigated agriculture.

  • Herbivore Dynamics and Range Contraction in Kajiado County Kenya: Climate and Land Use Changes, Population Pressures, Governance, Policy and Human-Wildlife Conflicts
    Send Orders for Reprints to [email protected] The Open Ecology Journal, 2014, 7, 9-31 9 Open Access Herbivore Dynamics and Range Contraction in Kajiado County Kenya: Climate and Land Use Changes, Population Pressures, Governance, Policy and Human-wildlife Conflicts Joseph O. Ogutu1,2,*, Hans-Peter Piepho1, Mohammed Y. Said2 and Shem C. Kifugo2 1University of Hohenheim, Institute for Crop Science-340, 70599 Stuttgart, Germany 2International Livestock Research Institute, P.O. Box 30709-00100, Nairobi, Kenya Abstract: Wildlife populations are declining severely in many protected areas and unprotected pastoral areas of Africa. Rapid large-scale land use changes, poaching, climate change, rising population pressures, governance, policy, economic and socio-cultural transformations and competition with livestock all contribute to the declines in abundance. Here we analyze the population dynamics of 15 wildlife and four livestock species monitored using aerial surveys from 1977 to 2011 within Kajiado County of Kenya, with a rapidly expanding human population, settlements, cultivation and other developments. The abundance of the 14 most common wildlife species declined by 67% on average (2% / yr) between 1977 and 2011 in both Eastern (Amboseli Ecosystem) and Western Kajiado. The species that declined the most were buffalo, impala, wildebeest, waterbuck, oryx, hartebeest, Thomson’s gazelle and gerenuk in Eastern Kajiado (70% to 88%) and oryx, hartebeest, impala, buffalo, waterbuck, giraffe, eland and gerenuk in Western Kajiado (77% to 99%). Only elephant (115%) and ostrich (216%) numbers increased contemporaneously in Eastern and Western Kajiado, respectively. Cattle and donkey numbers also decreased on average by 78% in Eastern Kajiado and by 37% in Western Kajiado.

  • Subdivision As a Catalyst for Land Use Change and Its Consequent Effect on the Economy and Ecosystem of Loitokitok District, Kenya
    SUBDIVISION AS A CATALYST FOR LAND USE CHANGE AND ITS CONSEQUENT EFFECT ON THE ECONOMY AND ECOSYSTEM OF LOITOKITOK DISTRICT, KENYA A THESIS Presented to The Faculty of the Department of Economics and Business The Colorado College In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Bachelor of Arts By Natalie Baumann May 2011 LAND USE CHANGE AND ITS CONSEQUENT EFFECT ON THE ECONOMY AND ECOSYSTEM OF LOITOKITOK DISTRICT, KENYA Natalie Baumann May 2011 Economics Abstract Since the formation of Kimana Group Ranch in 1972, land tenure in Loitokitok District has been based on a system of communally owned group ranches. Currently, only five group ranches remain, as Kimana has been fully subdivided. This study assessed the effects of subdivision on Kimana Group Ranch and forecasted the effects that subdivision will have on Mbirikani and Kuku Group Ranches. An emphasis was placed on diversification of land use and how that relates to the economy and ecosystem of the region. A semi-structured questionnaire was used to interview 369 residents of the three group ranches. Interviews were also conducted with key informants, such as ministry officials, group ranch officials, and representatives from non-governmental organizations. Data was analyzed using a multiple regression linear probability model and chi-square goodness of fit statistical tests. GIS points were also analyzed to create a map of land plots that have and have not been sold within Kimana Group Ranch and the wildlife sanctuaries that it contains. Results showed that the factors that most greatly influence one’s decision to diversify their livelihood strategy are ethnic background, acres owned, and the perception that their current land use affects their opinion of subdivision.

School of Agriculture and Enterprise Development, Kenyatta University, P.O.BOX 43844-00100 Nairobi, Kenya Abstract The tomato borer, Tuta absoluta , (Meyrick) has invaded the Mediterranean basin recently from South America and it is becoming a major global pest of tomato. Tomato plants can be infested from seedlings to mature plants. In Loitokitok, the pest has devastated tomato grain in the district with yield loss being reported of up to 100%. This has resulted in loss of income for the tomato growers. Chemical control of the pest has been difficult because the pests live inside the leaves, fruits and stems. Excessive use of pesticide is dangerous can develop resistance due to its high reproduction capacity and short generation. This field study was conducted within Loitokitok in Kajiado County to find out the management practices that tomato farmers are currently using to control Tuta absoluta . The aim was to develop the efficacy of a range of insecticides applied against Tuta absoluta and to assess damage levels caused on tomato. A baseline survey was conducted by use questionnaires to collect data from farmers on the damage level, management measures and their efficacy. The results showed that in Loitokitok, tomato growing can be done up to 3 times/year due to good climatic conditions, which provide the pest with abundant all year round and favours its spread.

    THE MAASAI PEOPLE: INITIAL INVESTIGATIONS INTO PUBLIC HEALTH PRACTICES OF THE LOITOKITOK DISTRICT by LINDSEY L. KELLY BS, Kansas State University, 2007 DVM, Kansas State University, 2009 A REPORT submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree MASTER OF PUBLIC HEALTH MPH Program (Infectious Diseases and Zoonoses) College of Veterinary Medicine KANSAS STATE UNIVERSITY Manhattan, Kansas 2010 Approved by: Major Professor Michael Sanderson Copyright LINDSEY L. KELLY 2010 Abstract This field experience was an initial investigation to collect a baseline for community and environmental health of the Maasai people in Loitokitok District of southern Kenya, East Africa. This international community based experience was the first of a five year program through The School for Field Studies to address the public health concerns surrounding the group ranches in the area. Individuals who participated in the first year of the project were selected from graduate schools in the United States and Kenya. The Maasai, once a nomadic pastoralist people, were forced onto community group ranches and had to take up a more sedentary agro-pastoralist lifestyle. This development has had negative impacts on the health of the people and their livestock. In addition to the baseline surveys, healthcare facility evaluations and cultural coursework to understand the situations surrounding the Maasai were main focuses. A personal interview was conducted with the local veterinarian and district animal health and agriculture officer to learn more about the veterinary concerns faced in Loitokitok District. Data were collected using a multistage sampling for childhood immunization and morbidity history, household mortality, water and sanitation, health, food security and assets.
