CDCCENTERS FOR DISEASE CONTROLKenya AND PREVENTION • KENYA Annual Report 2015 iii CDC Kenya 2015 Annual Report Message from the Director Colleagues and Friends, “Preventing epidemics through our global health security agenda. Making sure that we are not just reacting to something like the Ebola crisis, but that we are systematically putting in place the kinds of global networks and responses that can help countries not only help their own people, but also make sure that … our own people are not put in harm’s way.” (President Obama, during his remarks to the Chief of Missions Conference at the State Department, March 14, 2016.) These comments by President Obama well describe the mission of CDC’s global work and remind us of the President’s historic visit to Kenya in July 2015. I am pleased to share this short report summarizing CDC Kenya’s activities during 2015, the year the world was to have delivered on the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). In addition to intense work to initiate activities under the Global Health Security Agenda, CDC Kenya continued productive research on malaria, HIV, tuberculosis, diarrhea, pneumonia, zoonotic diseases and neglected tropical diseases. Our programs supporting the President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) focused on working towards the 90:90:90 vision (identify 90% of people living with HIV; ensure 90% of them access antiretroviral therapy; and ensure 90% of those on treatment are virally suppressed) first defined by UNAIDS, and measuring impact. -

Community Perceptions and Response to Flood Risks in Nyando District, Western Kenya
Community perceptions and response to flood risks in Nyando District, Western Kenya Hellen Nyakundi Liaison O#cer, Food Link Nairobi, Kenya [email protected] Stephen Mogere Development Evaluation Expert Nairobi, Kenya [email protected] Isaac Mwanzo Kenyatta University Nairobi, Kenya [email protected] Andre Yitambe Department of Public Health, Kenyatta University Nairobi, Kenya [email protected] ABSTRACT In Kenya, the ability of local people to resist the impact of disasters has not been given adequate attention. A descriptive cross sectional study sought to investigate community perceptions and responses to $ood risks in low and high risk areas of the Nyando District, Western Kenya. A total of 528 households, six government o#cials and %ve project managers of Community Based Organizations (CBOs) and Non Governmental Organizations (NGOs) were interviewed. Additionally, seven Focus Group Discussions (FGDs) involving three women, two male and two teacher groups were conducted. Data were analysed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) Program. &e Chi-square test was used to de- termine associations and di'erences between variables. In the study, 83% of the respondents were aware of Traditional Flood Knowledge (TFK) and 80% acknowledged its use. Perception of the risk is in$uenced by several variables, most notably past experience of major $oods and having survived them. Residents in the high risk areas had signi%cantly higher levels of awareness and use of traditional $ood knowledge. &ey were more aware of the nature of the $ood related health risks they were exposed to and appeared better prepared for future $ood risk. -

Marxist Analysis of Primary School Drop out in Malindi
MARXIST ANALYSIS OF PRIMARY SCHOOL DROP OUT IN MALINDI DISTRICT, KENYA BY CHAI CHARLES LEWA A RESEARCH PROJECT SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE AWARD OF THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF EDUCATION IN EDUCATIONAL FOUNDATIONS (PHILOSOPHY OF EDUCATION) OF THE UNIVERSITY OF NAIROBI. 2015 ABSTRACT The purpose of this study is to use Marxist analysis to investigate the causes of primary school dropout in Malindi District, Kenya; noting that retention of learners in school is still a challenge despite the introduction of free primary education. The findings indicated that the people of Malindi District are poor because they are alienated by successive governments (capitalists) from the factors of production. As a result, therefore, the people are economically marginalized and the results show that children drop out of school to engage in child labour, sex tourism, bodaboda business and drug peddling to get basic needs and supplement the family income. There is need for collaborative effort by all stakeholders and political will by the government to empower the residents economically. Distributive justice of the productive resources is recommended to alleviate poverty which will strengthen retention of learners in primary schools in the district. ii DECLARATION This project is my original work and has not been presented for a degree in any other University.

Sacred Spaces, Political Authority, and the Dynamics of Tradition in Mijikenda History
Sacred Spaces, Political Authority, and the Dynamics of Tradition in Mijikenda History A thesis presented to the faculty of the College of Arts and Sciences of Ohio University In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Master of Arts David P. Bresnahan June 2010 © 2010 David P. Bresnahan. All Rights Reserved. 2 This thesis titled Sacred Spaces, Political Authority, and the Dynamics of Tradition in Mijikenda History by DAVID P. BRESNAHAN has been approved for the Department of History and the College of Arts and Sciences by Nicholas M. Creary Assistant Professor of History Benjamin M. Ogles Dean, College of Arts and Sciences 3 ABSTRACT BRESNAHAN, DAVID P., M.A., June 2010, History Sacred Spaces, Political Authority, and the Dynamics of Tradition in Mijikenda History (156 pp.) Director of Thesis: Nicholas M. Creary This thesis explores the social, political, and symbolic roles of the Mijikenda kayas in the Coast Province of Kenya. The kayas, which exist today as sacred grove forests, are the original homesteads of the Mijikenda and the organizational units from which the symbolic authority and esoteric knowledge of the Mijikenda elders are derived. As a result, I conceptualize kayas as the physical space of the forests, but also complex networks of political, metaphysical, and symbolic power. While the kaya forests and their associated institutions have often been framed as cultural relics, I use this lens to illustrate how the position of the kayas in Mijikenda life has influenced broader social and political developments. Three main themes are developed: the first theme addresses how the kayas were used in different capacities to create space from the encroachment of colonial rule. -

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. -
