Kenya Malaria General Malaria Information: Predominantly P Kenya Malaria General malaria information: predominantly P. falciparum. Transmission occurs throughout the year, with extremely high transmission in most counties surrounding Lake Victoria. Some areas with low or no transmission may only be accessible by transiting areas where chemoprophylaxis is recommended. Location-specific recommendations: Chemoprophylaxis is recommended for all travelers: elevations below 2,500 m (8,200 ft), including all coastal resorts and safari itineraries; all cities and towns within these areas (including Nairobi). No preventive measures are necessary (no evidence of transmission exists): elevations above 2,500 m. Preventive measures: Travelers should observe insect precautions from dusk to dawn in areas with any level of transmission. Atovaquone-proguanil (Malarone or generic), doxycycline, mefloquine, and tafenoquine are protective in this country. G6PD testing is required prior to tafenoquine use. 34°E 37°E 40°E 43°E NUMBERED COUNTIES 5°N SOUTH Ilemi 1 - Nairobi 25 - Kakamega 2 - Kajiado SUDAN Triangle ETHIOPIA 26 - Vihiga 3 - Makueni 27 - Nandi Lokichogio 4 - Machakos 28 - Baringo " 5 - Embu 29 - Elgeyo/Marakwet Lake Sibiloi N.P. 6 - Tharaka-Nithi Turkana 30 - Uasin Gishu 7 - Meru 31 - Bungoma " 37 8 - Kirinyaga 32 - Trans Nzoia Moyale Lodwar 9 - Murang'a 33 - West Pokot " 36 El 10 - Kiambu 34 - Turkana Wak " 11 - Nyeri 35 - Samburu T u r Marsabit 12 - Laikipia k 36 - Marsabit w N.P. e Marsabit 13 - Nyandarua 37 - Mandera l " 34 14 - Nakuru 38 - Wajir 2°N m ua M 15 - Narok 39 - Isiolo UGANDA S a Wajir l Losai m " 16 - Bomet 40 - Kitui a N.P. l t 33 e 38 17 - Nyamira 41 - Tana River 35 39 18 - Kisii 42 - Garissa 32 29 SOMALIA 19 - Migori 43 - Lamu 28 Samburu N.P. ro 20 - Homa Bay 44 - Kilifi Lake so Ngi 31 Eldoret Baringo Ewa 21 - Kericho 45 - Mombasa 24 " " 25 30 Kabarnet 7 Meru 22 - Kisumu 46 - Kwale 27 12 N.P. 23 - Siaya 47 - Taita/Taveta "Meru 23 26"Kisumu Kenya 24 - Busia Lake # 6 Kora Victoria 22 Nakuru 21 " 13 11 N.P.

Kenya Yellow Fever Vaccination recommendation: Recommended for travelers aged ≥ 9 months: the provinces of Rift Valley, Western, Nyanza, Central, and Eastern, and the far southwestern portion of Coast Province (see map). Daytime insect precautions are essential for unvaccinated travelers. Generally not recommended (except for highly risk-averse travelers and long-stay travelers): itineraries limited to Nairobi, Mombasa, North-Eastern Province, or the majority of Coast Province (see map). No human or non-human primate cases of YF have ever been reported from these areas. Data indicate that the only historical evidence for YF virus transmission is from serosurveys conducted over 40 years ago that demonstrated very low rates of possible exposure.

  • Year 3- Kenya
    Year 3- Kenya Term: Autumn 2 Subject focus: Geography and Art Non-Fiction: Report Fiction: Narrative Recount Concepts Geography Art People and Places/Global Citizenship Inspiration/Creativity/Critique Children build on their understanding of the continent of Africa which was explored in Year 1 to now dive deeper into a focussed country. Children can use what they have learn to make comparisons between the different countries explored in Amazing Africa, especially Nigeria, with what they will learn about Kenya. With a large number of West African families in our school community, this topic gives children the opportunity to learn about the country where they, their family or friends descend from. Children are able to develop their geographical skills within this topic, looking at more detailed maps of Africa and the world. They are able to focus their understanding of physical and human features of Africa to one particular country. This units contributes to the children’s understanding of people and places in the world, having learnt about similar and contrasting places in previous years (Africa, Arctic and Antarctica, South America and local places). Later in the year, children will build further upon their knowledge of Africa when they look at the ancient history of the Egyptians, creating a deeper understanding of the continent through time. This topic also helps to prepare children for the topic Europe, where they will consider the effects that Europe has had on the rest of the world, including its role in the Transatlantic Slave Trade. In Year 1, the children learnt about the creative work of Ester Mahlangu- focusing on the use of colour and pattern to create a piece of art.

  • 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.

Economic growth is still Krobust, although below potential and initial expectations. At an estimated 4.3 percent, Kenya’s growth rate will fall short of its 2010 performance, when the economy rebounded strongly at 5.6 percent but will be higher than Kenya’s long-term average rate of 3.7 percent. The ongoing economic crisis underscores Kenya’s structural challenges, especially weak exports, which are the primary cause of Kenya’s recent macroeconomic instability, and contributor to the sharp decline in the Kenyan shilling. For 2012, the Word Bank projects a 5.0 percent growth rate, if the government is able to effectively manage the current crisis, maintain political stability in the run-up to the elections, and address the security challenges arising from the conflict with Somalia. 1.
