  • How Important Are Supermarkets for the Diets of the Urban Poor in Africa?
    How important are supermarkets for the diets of the urban poor in Africa? R. Wanyama; T. Gödecke; M. Qaim University of Goettingen, Agricultural Economics and Rural Development, Germany Corresponding author email: [email protected] Abstract: Many developing countries are undergoing a profound transformation of food systems. Especially in larger cities, supermarkets have become increasingly popular, affecting consumers’ food choices and diets. Previous research showed that supermarkets can have both positive and negative effects on dietary quality and nutrition. However, which households actually use supermarkets, and to what extent? While supermarket shopping is positively correlated with income, little is known about how important supermarkets are for the diets of the poor, who are of particular interest from a food policy perspective. The poorest of the urban poor often reside in informal settlements, so they are underrepresented in official surveys. We add to the literature by analyzing food consumption data collected from households in the poorest neighborhoods of Nairobi (Kenya) and Kampala (Uganda). We find high levels of nutritional deficiencies. Despite their ubiquitous presence, supermarkets are not yet very important for the diets of the urban poor. Supermarkets only account for 3% and 0.4% of sample households’ total food expenditures in Nairobi and Kampala, respectively. Especially unprocessed foods, which make up the largest share of calorie consumption, are primarily purchased in traditional retail outlets. We also show differences

Reasonable planning of urban density is the key to sustainable development. By using the spatial population data of 2000, 2010, and 2020, this study aims to explore the changes in population density and spatial patterns of informal settlements in Nairobi. The result of spatial correlation analysis shows that the informal settlements are the centers of population growth and agglomeration and are mostly distributed in the belts of 4 and 8 km from Nairobi’s central business district (CBD). A series of population density models in Nairobi were examined; it showed that the correlation between population density and distance to CBD was positive within a 4 km area, while for areas outside 8 km, they were negatively related. The factors determining population density distribution are also discussed. We argue that where people choose to settle is a decision process between the expected benefits and the cost of living; the informal settlements around the 4-km belt in Nairobi has become the choice for most poor people.

Department of Chemistry, University of Nairobi Sign……………………………………. Date……………………………………… Prof. Amir O. Yusuf Department of Chemistry, University of Nairobi Sign……………………………………. Date……………………………………… Dr. John O. Onyatta Department of Chemistry, University of Nairobi ii ABSTRACT Kariobangi Sewerage Treatment Plant in Nairobi City County is a conventional mechanical wastewater treatment plant with an installed capacity of 32,000 m3/day and has an in built methenation unit. It is the only available conventional mechanical wastewater treatment plant in the city and its efficiency is therefore, of paramount importance. A total of 48 samples from three sites within the plant namely the Inlet (I), the Clarifier(C) and the Outlet (O) were analyzed for various parameters. Development activities within the treatment plant’s catchment area were assessed with view to establish their effects on the performance of the plant. Physico-chemical parameters, chemical parameters, heavy metals, oil & grease and bacteriological presence analyses were carried out so as to evaluate the efficiency of the plant. The physico-chemical parameters analyzed included settleable solids (SS), chemical oxygen demand (COD), and biochemical oxygen demand after five days (BOD5).

  • Slum Toponymy in Nairobi, Kenya a Case Study Analysis of Kibera
    Urban and Regional Planning Review Vol. 4, 2017 | 21 Slum toponymy in Nairobi, Kenya A case study analysis of Kibera, Mathare and Mukuru Melissa Wangui WANJIRU*, Kosuke MATSUBARA** Abstract Urban informality is a reality in cities of the Global South, including Sub-Saharan Africa, which has over half the urban population living in informal settlements (slums). Taking the case of three informal settlements in Nairobi (Kibera, Mathare and Mukuru) this study aimed to show how names play an important role as urban landscape symbols. The study analyses names of sub-settlements (villages) within the slums, their meanings and the socio-political processes behind them based on critical toponymic analysis. Data was collected from archival sources, focus group discussion and interviews, newspaper articles and online geographical sources. A qualitative analysis was applied on the village names and the results presented through tabulations, excerpts and maps. Categorisation of village names was done based on the themes derived from the data. The results revealed that village names represent the issues that slum residents go through including: social injustices of evictions and demolitions, poverty, poor environmental conditions, ethnic groupings among others. Each of the three cases investigated revealed a unique toponymic theme. Kibera’s names reflected a resilient Nubian heritage as well as a diverse ethnic composition. Mathare settlements reflected political struggles with a dominance of political pioneers in the village toponymy. Mukuru on the other hand, being the newest settlement, reflected a more global toponymy-with five large villages in the settlement having foreign names. Ultimately, the study revealed that ethnic heritage and politics, socio-economic inequalities and land injustices as well as globalization are the main factors that influence the toponymy of slums in Nairobi.

  • Slum Profiles | Pumwani Division EASTLEIGH NORTH
    110 | Slum Profiles | Pumwani Division EASTLEIGH NORTH BAHATI EASTLEIGH SOUTH PUMWANI KAMUKUNJI Nairobi Inventory | 111 The last eviction threat was by Chief Githinji in 1990 but thereafter the residents petitioned the Nairobi City Council and got allotment let- ters for plots of 25 by 60 sq. feet each. However, the allocation process left out some residents who have resorted to designated social spaces, paths and the riparian reserves. The settlement occupies 30 acres of govern- ment land registered as Plot No. LR 16667 and extends into the riparian reserve of Nairobi Riv- er. The population is estimated at about 6000.

  • Nairobi City County MTEF Public Hearings Report
    REPORT ON NAIROBI CITY COUNTY MEDIUM TERM EXPENDITURE FRAMEWORK (MTEF) 2014/15- 2016/17 PUBLIC HEARINGS HELD FROM 6TH -18TH FEBRUARY 2014 PREPARED BY THE INSTITUTE FOR SOCIAL ACCOUNTABILITY (TISA) March 2014 1 Introduction Public participation plays a critical role in deepening democracy and promoting good governance. Citizens’ involvement in governance processes ensures that their experiential and grounded perspectives inform government on their needs and how these needs can best be addressed. Given our past, the practice of critical engagement between citizens and government was frowned upon by an insular and self-perpetuating state; the new democratic government emphasized the need for critical engagement between itself and its citizens. It therefore, came as no surprise that public participation is a key Constitutional principle which clearly states that “people’s needs must be responded to, and the public must be encouraged to participate in policy making.” Public participation is a principle, which has now been underpinned in the new constitution and recognized as an important right. The Constitution of Kenya, 2010 is founded on the principle of public participation in all spheres of governance. The Constitution requires county governments to give effect to public participation through the Fourth Schedule Part 2 (14) which states the county will ensure and coordinate the participation of communities and locations in governance at the local level. Counties are also to assist communities to develop the administrative capacity for the effective exercise of the functions and powers and participation in governance at the local level. Article 201(a) also outlines public participation as one of the principles of public finance alongside openness and accountability.
