    CHAPTER ONE TRIBAL CLASHES IN THE RIFT VALLEY PROVINCE Tribal clashes in the Rift Valley Province started on 29th October, 1991, at a farm known as Miteitei, situated in the heart of Tinderet Division, in Nandi District, pitting the Nandi, a Kalenjin tribe, against the Kikuyu, the Kamba, the Luhya, the Kisii, and the Luo. The clashes quickly spread to other farms in the area, among them, Owiro, farm which was wholly occupied by the Luo; and into Kipkelion Division of Kericho District, which had a multi-ethnic composition of people, among them the Kalenjin, the Kisii and the Kikuyu. Later in early 1992, the clashes spread to Molo, Olenguruone, Londiani, and other parts of Kericho, Trans Nzoia, Uasin Gishu and many other parts of the Rift Valley Province. In 1993, the clashes spread to Enoosupukia, Naivasha and parts of Narok, and the Trans Mara Districts which together then formed the greater Narok before the Trans Mara District was hived out of it, and to Gucha District in Nyanza Province. In these areas, the Kipsigis and the Maasai, were pitted against the Kikuyu, the Kisii, the Kamba and the Luhya, among other tribes. The clashes revived in Laikipia and Njoro in 1998, pitting the Samburu and the Pokot against the Kikuyu in Laikipia, and the Kalenjin mainly against the Kikuyu in Njoro. In each clash area, non-Kalenjin or non-Maasai, as the case may be, were suddenly attacked, their houses set on fire, their properties looted and in certain instances, some of them were either killed or severely injured with traditional weapons like bows and arrows, spears, pangas, swords and clubs.

In 2008, Pamela Kohler had prepared a report for UW CFAR- International Core on an inventory of the laboratories in Kenya. In order to obtain the laboratory capacities that are available in the KRTC affiliated laboratories in Kenya a short survey was sent to key personnel at each site and the feedback was compiled into this report. The contacts of these personnel were obtained from the KRTC members who are using the laboratory services. The purpose of this report is to understand what testing is available and where people have the potential to run testing for new studies. A list of equipment that each site has was requested so that we have an idea on how to utilize or expand the capacity for basic science research in different labs.

  • Evaluating the Kenya Girl Guides Association's HIV/AIDS Peer Education Program for Younger Youth
    EVALUATING THE KENYA GIRL GUIDES ASSOCIATION’S HIV/AIDS PEER EDUCATION PROGRAM FOR YOUNGER YOUTH: BASELINE RESULTS In Kenya, like in many other African countries, it is estimated that half of all new HIV infec- tions occur among youth between the ages of 15 and 24 (CBS, MOH, and ORC Macro 2004; NASCOP 2003). However, many of these individuals are much younger when they initiate sexual activity. Survey data show that 13 percent of girls and 31 percent of boys have had sex by age 15 (CBS, MOH, and ORC Macro 2004). Unfortunately, few prevention programs exist to help younger youth, specifically those between the ages of 10 and 14 years, to delay their sexual debut and develop communication and relationship skills that will keep them uninfected. In response to this need, the Kenya Girl Guide Association (KGGA) and Family Health International (FHI)/Impact began a program, which was developed by PATH, in 1999 to train young Girl Guides as HIV peer educators in their schools. The project aims to improve knowledge and skills related to HIV prevention and care among Girl Guides and their peers. In collaboration with KGGA and FHI/Impact, the Horizons Program is currently conducting a study to evaluate the effectiveness of this intervention model in achieving the objectives of the peer education program. This research update presents baseline findings from the intervention study. Description of the Intervention KGGA has members between the ages of 6 and 25 years. Members are grouped in different cadres by age groups: Brownies (6 to 10 years), Girl Guides (10 to 14 years), Rangers (14 to 18 years), and Cadets (18 to 25 years).
