Box 24814- 00502 Karen – Nairobi, Kenya, Email: [email protected], or 2The Co-operative University of Kenya, School of Cooperatives and Community Development, P.O. Box 24814- 00502 Karen – Nairobi, Kenya, Email: [email protected] Abstract Southern Vihiga hills present a case of an intriguing history of land degradation in Kenya that has over the years defied all efforts to address. In 1957, as a measure to curb environmental degradation in southern Vihiga, the colonial government through the legal notice number 266 of the Kenya gazette supplement number 28 established Maragoli Hills Forest without the acceptance by the local communities. The forest was over time degraded, and completely destroyed in 1990s. Efforts to rehabilitate the forest have continually been frustrated by the local community. The study set out to determine the extent of environmental degradation; and establish water quality in streams originating southern Vihiga hills. Data for the study was collected using GPS surveys; photography; high temporal resolution satellite imagery; and interviews. Data on environmental degradation was analyzed through ArcGIS 10.3.1. Analysis of biological and physiochemical parameters of water was undertaken at the government chemist in Kisumu. The study found total loss of forest cover on Edibwongo Hill (Maragoli forest), with extensive areas of bare surfaces, and gulleys. The study also found very high population of Coliform and E.Coli in water in all the three streams sampled in both dry and wet seasons; and very high turbidity; water color; and iron (Fe) concentrations in water from the sampled streams.

When they were upgraded, it was expected that performance of these schools would improve but analysis of data over the recent years showed fluctuation in performance. This paper therefore investigates the extent to which aspects of human resource provision and availability could explain the performance trend of eight upgraded national schools in Western region of Kenya. The study used a mixed method research approach with the target population the target population were 263 teachers and 8 principals from teachers in the 8 upgraded national schools. The sample size was 156 respondents purposively sampled for principals and heads of departments, while teachers were sampled using random sampling technique. Data was collected through observation checklist, interview schedule and questionnaire. The instruments were tested for validity and reliability through piloting in the extra county schools that were upgraded from county schools in the region. Data analysis was done using quantitative and qualitative measures. Research results showed that there was significant change (7.5%) in teacher staffing distribution in the above mentioned schools. analysis of data showed that to cover the human resource shortfall gap, schools employed teachers on contract basis.

  • Logoli Women of Western Kenya Speak:Needs and Means
    t LOGOLI WOMEN OF WESTERN KENYA SPEAK: NEEDS AND MEANS by / Judith M. Abwunza i University of NAIROBI Library A Thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the University of Toronto ® Judith M. Abwunza 1991 o / S'% . - W oA % % > / ABSTRACT Logoii Women of Western Kenya Speak: Needs And Means Judith M. Abwunza University of Toronto Department of Anthropology The research on women's power in collective and capitalist structures recognises the important economic position of women. Research in Maragoli, Kenya, shows that women's work is not universally confined to the domestic sphere, nor is gender inequality in productive relations a result of the eclipse of communal and family-based production and property ownership. Women believe gender / inequality is increasing in Maragoli and are resisting. Logoii women attribute the trend to increasing gender inequality to men's actions in entrenching traditional cultural values of patriarchal ideology which serve to reduce and deny women's growing productive role and value. Maragoli women are not controlled by patriarchal ideology although these values are part of the cultural rhetoric. In Maragoli, women assume a posture of ideological and institutional acceptance attached to "the Avalogoli way" as deliberate social action while recognising that "today life is not fair to women". They are producers of both use and exchange value in the collective and capitalist structures, ii extending "home work” responsibilities to "outside work" using cultural avenues to power. Their skills are generated within the collectivity through the accumulation of information and influence which accords them a culturally- valued reputation as "good Logoli wives".

"Partnership for Productivity" (PFP) and "Brigades in Botswana: Their National Impact" focus on the development of managerial and nonagricultural vocational skills in rural areas. In the case of PFP the target group is adult business men in Kenya's Western Province who receive advisory and training services. The Brigades are self-sustaining skill training programs for primary school leavers in Botswana. The programs cover operation costs through their own labor. "Tutume Community College" describes the efforts of a formal institution to develop nonforaal edication programs for rural development and community service. "The Development Orientation in Rural Ethiopia" summarizes a study that investigates the wants of local communities. "Educational Opportunities for Rural and Urban Communities in Kenya" demonstrates the effect of financing, staffing, and equipping inequities on the school examination results.
