  • 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.

  • Yield and Nutritive Attributes Are Not Considered by Farmers in Choice of Sweet Potato Varieties Grown in East Kamagak Location – Homabay County-Kenya
    The International Journal Of Science & Technoledge (ISSN 2321 – 919X) www.theijst.com THE INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF SCIENCE & TECHNOLEDGE Yield and Nutritive Attributes Are Not Considered by Farmers in Choice of Sweet Potato Varieties Grown in East Kamagak Location – Homabay County-Kenya Onyango Rosally Ph.D. Student, Department of Agricultural Science and Technology, Kenyatta University, Nairobi, Kenya Dr. Wilson Thagana Senior Lecturer, Department of Agricultural Science and Technology, Kenyatta University, Nairobi, Kenya Dr. Joseph Gweyi Senior Lecturer, Department of Agricultural Science and Technology, Kenyatta University, Nairobi, Kenya Dr. Laura Karanja Researcher, Kenya Agricultural Research Institute, Njoro, Kenya Abstract: Sweet potato is one of the most important crops for food security and income generation in Kenya. The crop is increasing in importance as adverse climate changes limit crop production in many areas. Understanding the genetic diversity of germplasm of crop species is of importance for its rational management and use. Identification of the sweet potato landraces is paramount in addressing food security not only in the study region but elsewhere in the country. Morphological characterization of the accessions facilitates the identification of duplicates and unique traits which is important in the future improvement of the crop having the desired characteristics. The study aimed at identifying the factors that farmers consider in selecting the sweet potato variety to plant in East Kamagak location of Rachuonyo District, Homabay County. The experiment started with survey and germplasm collection aided by use of questionnaire. The accessions were used for morphological characterization, The results showed that 30% 0f the farmers selected sweet potato to plant based on taste compared to 24% farmers who preferred high yielding varieties.

  • Nyando District Kisumu Hub
    Nyando District Kisumu Hub Post-Floods Needs Assessment Report 13-16th January 2013 _________________________________________________________________________________________________ The Kenya meteorological department predictions indicated that the country was expected to experience enhanced rainfall for the period October-December2012, during the short rains with most parts of Kenya experiencing above normal rainfall while most parts of the Rift valley, Nairobi and parts of North Eastern counties experiencing slightly above normal rainfall. West Kenya catchment areas experienced heavy rains between 20th to 28th December 2012, in the upstream areas of the Rift valley-Nandi hills, which were slightly above normal, causing Rivers Nyando, Awach, and Sondu to break their banks in the down stream Kisumu County. This caused flooding with displacement and destruction of property in Nyando, Nyakach and Rachuonyo North Districts from 29th December 2012. At the time of this assessment, the rains have receded and most of the flooding waters are drying up in the affected areas. However, the flooding risk is still at alert level. BACKGROUND ON THE LOCATION: Nyando District is a fairly new district, which broke away from Kisumu District in Nyanza Province in 1998. It is named after the Nyando River, which flows from the Nandi Hills in the Rift Valley Province and empties its waters into Lake Victoria. Nyando district is in Kisumu County, and borders Nyakach, Muhoroni, Rachuonyo and Kisumu East Districts and the Rift Valley Province. The District capital is the town of Awasi, located 30 kilometers east of Kisumu City, the county capital of Kisumu County. The District is affected by perennial floods, usually twice in a year during the short and long rains seasons.

  • I. General Overview II. Humanitarian Situation
    UNITED NATIONS HUMANITARIAN UPDATE vol. 7 February 23-27, 2008 Office of the United Nations Humanitarian Coordinator in Kenya HIGHLIGHTS • African Union mediator suspends talks with mediation teams; negotiations continue with principles from both parties. • Security situation generally calm but localized incidents of violence are reported • UNHCR to begin profiling IDP groups • Nutritional screening of all IDP camps a high priority • Humanitarian agencies begin to prepare IDP camps for the rainy season The information contained in this report has been compiled by OCHA from information received from the field, from national and international humanitarian partners and from other official sources. It does not represent a position from the United Nations. I. General Overview African Union mediator Kofi Annan suspended talks on Tuesday to end Kenya’s political crisis, saying the top leadership of the Party of National Unity and the Orange Democratic Movement must now negotiate directly to break the present lack of progress. Annan, representing Africa’s foremost political body, the African Union, has been trying to broker a peace deal to reconcile the nation over the disputed results of December’s presidential election. The disputed results, buttressed by mutual accusations of cheating, resulted in violence in which some 1,000 people died and an estimated 500,000 displaced. There is concern that the suspended talks, in conjunction with possible IDP fatigue, could trigger new movements or place new burdens on humanitarian operations. While some of the displaced persons have moved to ethnically homogeneous areas, and others have found refuge with host families in areas they consider safe, humanitarian aid personnel say that hundreds of thousands remain in IDP camps awaiting the outcome of the political talks before deciding on either returning to their original areas or relocating.

  • Floods Related Incidents from March - May2013 Long Rains
    FLOODS RELATED INCIDENTS FROM MARCH - MAY2013 LONG RAINS. HIGHLIGHTS • Depressed and poorly distributed rainfall is expected over most parts of the country during March-May 2013 “Long-Rains” Season. This is likely to be more pronounced in the Arid and Semi-Arid Lands (ASALs). • The western and central counties including Nairobi as well as the Coastal strip are likely to experience enhanced rainfall. • Most of the rainfall in the country is expected during the peak month of April except over the Coastal strip Where the peak is expected during the month of May. • During January and February 2013, slightly cooler than average sea surface temperatures (SSTs) were present over the eastern and central equatorial Pacific Ocean. Neutral conditions were observed over western Equatorial Indian Ocean while warmer than average SSTs prevailed over eastern Equatorial Indian Ocean FORECAST FOR MARCH-APRIL-MAY (MAM) 2013 “LONG RAINS” SEASON March to May is a major rainfall season in most parts of the country. Depicts the Long Term Mean rainfall patterns for March-April-May seasonal rainfall. The figure shows that the highest rainfall amounts of over 300mm are recorded over Western, Central, Coastal strip and parts of northern Kenya (Marsabit, Moyale). The forecast for March to May 2013 is based on the prevailing and expected Sea Surface Temperature Anomalies (SSTAs) over the Pacific, Indian and Atlantic Oceans as well as other Synoptic, Mesoscale and local factors that affect the climate of Kenya. These factors were assessed using various tools including ocean-atmosphere models, statistical models, satellite derived information and expert interpretation. The prevailing slightly cool Sea Surface Temperatures (SSTs) in the western Equatorial Indian Ocean (adjacent to the East African Coast) coupled with very warm SSTs in the eastern Equatorial Indian Ocean (adjacent to Australia) were also considered.
