A key tool for shaping a PA’s future, a management plan serves as a framework for planning and decision making in a protected area. Protected Area management plans are developed in accordance with the guiding principles outlined in the Planning Framework provided under the Fifth Schedule of the Act and the KWS Protected Areas Planning Framework (PAPF). These planning frameworks provide guidance on the key elements needed for a successful management planning process. In line with the Act and PAPF, the MMPA plan has been developed in a highly participatory manner, incorporating and building on ideas from a broad cross-section of MMPA stakeholders. In addition, the plan adopts the MPA zoning scheme specified in the Act. The MMPA covers Malindi Marine National Park and half of Malindi Marine National Reserve2 and their adjoining areas of influence. Prepared in consultation with MMPA’s stakeholders, the MMPA’s management plan will guide the MPA’s overall direction for the next 10 years and will be reviewed in five years. The plan is expected to achieve the overall KWS functions as outlined under Section 7 of the Wildlife Conservation and Management Act, 2013. The MMPA plan has six chapters. Chapter 1: Plan Foundations, introduces the planning process and describes the plan’s functions, structure and stakeholder participation mechanisms. It also gives a general description of the MMPA and its purpose, key values and major issues of concern. Chapter 2: Zonation scheme, provides a zoning scheme that divides the MMPA into visitor and resource use zones. Chapters 3, 4, 5 and 6 form the bulk of the plan and presents the plan’s four management programmes. Chapter 7: Plan Monitoring, provides a plan monitoring framework. MMPA Purpose and Values The purpose of the MMPA is: “To preserve and maintain a representative area of the coral reef ecosystem together with the beaches which typify the Kenyan coast, for the benefit of present and future generations” The development of the above Purpose Statement was based on the stakeholder identification of the MMPA’s “Exceptional Resource Values” (ERVs), which were divided into four categories: biodiversity, scenic, social and cultural. The four most important

  • Sediment Dynamics and Improvised Control Technologies in the Athi River Drainage Basin, Kenya
    Sediment Dynamics in Changing Environments (Proceedings of a symposium held 485 in Christchurch, New Zealand, December 2008). IAHS Publ. 325, 2008. Sediment dynamics and improvised control technologies in the Athi River drainage basin, Kenya SHADRACK MULEI KITHIIA Postgraduate Programme in Hydrology, Department of Geography and Environmental Studies, University of Nairobi, PO Box 30197, 00100 GPO, Nairobi, Kenya [email protected] Abstract In Kenya, the changing of land-use systems from the more traditional systems of the 1960s to the present mechanized status, contributes enormous amounts of sediments due to water inundations. The Athi River drains areas that are subject to intense agricultural, industrial, commercial and population settlement activities. These activities contribute immensely to the processes of soil erosion and sediment transport, a phenomenon more pronounced in the middle and lower reaches of the river where the soils are much more fragile and the river tributaries are seasonal in nature. Total Suspended Sediments (TSS) equivalent to sediment fluxes of 13 457, 131 089 and 2 057 487 t year-1 were recorded in the headwater areas, middle and lower reaches of the river, respectively. These varying trends in sediment transport and amount are mainly due to the chemical composition of the soil coupled with the land-soil conservation measures already in practice, and which started in the 1930s and reached their peak in the early 1980s. This paper examines trends in soil erosion and sediment transport dynamics progressively downstream. The land-use activities and soil conservation, control and management technologies, which focus on minimizing the impacts of overland flow, are examined to assess the economic and environmental sustainability of these areas, communal societal benefits and the country in general.

  • Kenya Tana River Basin Road Construction Projects (I) and (II)
    Kenya Tana River Basin Road Construction Projects (I) and (II) Report Date: October 2002 Field Survey: July-August 2001 1. Project Profile and Japan’s ODA Loan Site Map Project Site (Near Garsen) 1.1. Background Kenya’s economy remains largely dependent on exports of its main agricultural products such as coffee and tea . The largest constraint on the country’s agricultural sector was insufficient rain, making land less productive. It was therefore necessary to develop an irrigation system using water resources from the Tana River, the longest river in Kenya. The Tana River Development Agency was founded in 1974 to promote the Tana River Area Development Program, with a focus on irrigation. Especially, in downstream of Tana River, large scaled irrigation plan had been implemented. For the successful development of Tana River area including the irrigation plan, the development of road network was inevitable. The conditions of roads in downstream areas deteriorated so badly that the roads were inaccessible during the rainy season, and even during the dry season, the road traffic was not easy. Given this situation, the Government of Kenya decided to implement the Tana River Basin Road Construction Project (hereinafter referred to as “Project I”) and requested for Japan’s ODA Loan in 1980. During the implementation of Project I, however, financial constraints of the Government of Kenya in appropriating local-cost materials caused significant delays in the road construction. The situation in Kenya at that time, attributed to various factors including deterioration of its economy, caused such financial constraints, which had not been foreseeable at the time of appraisal.

The evaluation examined the strategic positioning of UNFPA as well as its contribution to the results set out in the three programming areas – sexual and reproductive health, gender equality and women’s empowerment, and population dynamics. The evaluation was based on a comprehensive review of documents covering both the programming and implementation stages in accordance with the newly developed Handbook of the Evaluation Branch on How to Design and Conduct a Country Programme Evaluation at UNFPA. This was followed by an intensive field work for further data collection and validation of preliminary findings. The field work included individual and group interviews, focus groups and site visits. The evaluators worked to obtain the perspectives of all stakeholders and systematically ensured the validity of collected data by means of triangulation techniques. Specific evaluation criteria were formulated during the preparation phase, which focused on relevance, efficiency, effectiveness and sustainability in three focus areas of the country programme and strategic alignment, responsiveness and added value. The evaluation was complemented by an analysis of the monitoring and evaluation system of the country programme.

  • 1 Birthing Radical Selves
    1 Birthing Radical Selves The Making of a Scholar-Activist This chapter chronicles Wangari Muta Maathai’s experiential his- tory with the topics engaged in the rest of the book—environmental management and justice, critical feminisms, democratic spaces, and globalization and global governance systems. It is my hope that the reader will gain a degree of appreciation for the events and journeys that molded Maathai and shaped her politics and critical thinking. Through the seasons of her life, I recount the advent of her activist and scholarly identities, selves, and roles. I draw her narrative primar- ily from her memoir, interviews, and media reports and meld it with Kenyan and global histories of the different seasons of her scholarship and activism. Wangari Muta was born on April 1, 1940, in the village of Ihithe, Nyeri, in the central highlands of what was then British Kenya, to peasant farmers Muta Njugi and Wanjiru Muta, who were members of the Gikuyu ethnic group (Maathai 2007a, 3–4). She was the third of six children and the first daughter of her biological mother. Her earli- est memories on record are mostly connected to experiences with her mother, with whom she was very close. Growing up in a polygamous family, she remembered the four mothers living mostly in harmony and being supportive of each other, although she acknowledged the existence of some dissonance in the family and that her father beat his wives (19). Nevertheless, she reflected on her childhood with un- mistakable nostalgia. Her earliest memories place her family resid- ing and working on a farm in Nakuru belonging to a settler named Mr.
