Conservation and the Maasai in Kenya. Tradeoff or mutualism?
- "This paper explores two large classes of policy failure which have caused deviation from Pareto optimality between principal stakeholders in the southern Kenyan Maasailands. First, an inappropriate settlement and privatization scheme attempted to give Maasai title to land historically theirs while ushering them into the Kenyan market economy, but instead caused fragmentation of their rangeland ecology and culture. Second, wildlife conservation in Amboseli National Park and the Masai Mara Game Reserve is dangerously unsustainable in large part through shortsighted, inadequate and poorly implemented policy. The situation has created conflict between conservation interests and the Maasai, and funnels the economic benefits of tourism away from those who bear the costs of lost land rights." - by Ted Cheeseman

Protect Kenya's Parks!

Kenya : Political Violence Spirals
- Amnesty International - Report - AFR 32/19/98
- "Within a few weeks of the second multiparty Presidential and Parliamentary elections in Kenya on 29 December 1997 parts of the Rift Valley were again affected by politically motivated ethnic violence. The attacks followed a similar pattern to the political violence in the area in the run-up to the previous elections in 1992 and beyond, when supporters of the ruling Kenya African National Union (KANU) attacked members of ethnic groups considered to support the opposition. The involvement of high-ranking government officials in the 1991 to 1994 clashes was proven..."

State-Sponsored Ethnic Violence in Kenya

Human Rights Developments
- "The lead-up to Kenya’s second multiparty election, on December 29, 1997, was fraught with violence and intimidation, and marred by government reneging on promised legal reforms to allow genuine political liberalization. Several peaceful pro-democracy rallies were brutally dispersed, an estimated one million eligible youth were denied registration, and over 100,000 people were displaced in the Coast Province following ethnically-driven attacks on groups largely affiliated with the opposition..."

Defending Human Rights
- "A wide array of local human rights organizations were engaged in monitoring human rights in Kenya, but some came under threat during the year, particularly those associated with the NCEC. On January 19, a leading member of the NCEC was abducted by four armed plainclothesmen who drove him around in his car and threatened him for approximately two hours before abandoning him and taking his NCEC documents. In March, President Moi threatened to deregister a number of human rights NGOs following their support of the NCEC, including the Kenya Human Rights Commission..."

The Role of the International Community
- "In the lead-up to the election, Kenya’s main donors played a positive role in pushing the government to concede to domestic demands for genuine pluralism. Donors took a more unified public stand around human rights than in the past, although they stopped short of placing human rights conditions on donor aid. In a series of joint statements in 1997, several donor countries criticized police brutality, government harassment of the opposition, and the need to respect the rights to life, speech, assembly, and association..."

Women's Organizing Abilities: Two Case Studies of Kenya and Malawi.
- A research project by Mario I. Aguilar & Laurel Birch de Aguilar for Organizing for Development. "The purpose of this comparative study is to examine how two separate societies express women's roles in decision-making. The choice for the two case studies involve one matrilineal, agriculturist society, the Chewa of the central region of Malawi; and one patrilineal, pastoralist society, the Waso Boorana of Garba Tulla in northeast Kenya. Both case studies indicate how an actual community decision is made, with emphasis on the gendered roles in the decision-making process. In Malawi, the case study is of the selection of a new village Chief, and in Kenya, the case study is of the selection of a new community elder."

Contastation over Political Space.
- The State and Demobilisation of Party Politics in Kenya
- CDR Working Paper 98.12, November 1998 by Karuti Kanyinga
- "This paper appraises political liberalization and subsequent contestation over political space in Kenya. The discussion centres on how, from the colonial period, elite politics have precluded organization and crystallization of popular democracy. The paper specifically examines the historicity of political factionalism and attendant decline of multi-partyism. It also looks at the socio-economic conditions responsible for the weakening of opposition politics."

Ethnicity and Ethnic Kings:
- The Enduring Dual Constraint in Kenya's Multiethnic Democratic Electoral Experiment
- "This study examines the extent to which elections in Kenya are dominated by ethnic-oriented practices and as such undermine the possibility of the establishment of a viable national-oriented democratic electoral system. The central thesis of the study is that lack of sustainable democratic electoral system in Kenya was initiated prior to Kenya’s independence and reinforced thereafter by the Kenyan leaders themselves. The study is divided into three parts. First, part one examines elections and its relation to democracy. The second part examines the extent to which electoral processes between 1960's-1970's created conditions inconsistent with democratic electoral system. Similarly, part three deals with the impact of elections on democracy in Kenya, 1980's-1997."

Briefing Paper No. 32 Abstract
- Linkages Between Research, Farmers, and Farmers’ Organizations in Kenya: A Summary of Findings
- "This Briefing Paper summarizes the findings of a study that identified and assessed linkages between agricultural research institutions and farmers’ organizations in Kenya. Part of an ISNAR project on linkages with farmers’ organizations, the study was conducted jointly with the Kenya Agricultural Research Institute (KARI). The paper presents the policies of the main actors involved in agricultural research and farmers’ organizations, along with their approaches to linkages. Eleven linkage mechanisms are identified and analyzed: training seminars, farming systems surveys and trials, research and technocal committees, center advisory committees, on-farm adaptive research, field studies, training and visit workshops, district meetings, research-extension liaison positions, demonstration seminars, and ad hoc contacts. The main conclusion is that linkages between research and farmers’ organizations could make relevant technologies available and accessible to different categories of farmers, but this potential cannot be realized unless associated problems are adequately addressed. A number of lessons for successful management of linkages are provided."

Harambee - Pulling Together for Kenya

Started in 1987, NARP is a cooperative undertaking of KARI and several international donors who have sponsored separate but coordinated activities to reach the project’s goals. This report will focus on those parts of the project supported by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), which supported NARP in three ways: strengthening of KARI’s research management including development of a socio-economics unit; commodity research in maize, sorghum/millet, horticulture and small ruminants; and assisting with the design and implementation of an Agricultural Research Fund."

Community-Based Waste Mangement for Environmental Management and Income Generation in Low-Income Areas: - A Case Study of Nairobi, Kenya
- Published by City Farmer, Canada's Office of Urban Agriculture
- "This study focuses on the problems and opportunities of community-based waste management in Nairobi, Kenya. Within several of the city's informal settlements, women's groups have started composting organic wastes as means of improving community environmental conditions and generating income through the sale of the compost. The central purpose of the study is to assess the success of these composting projects in meeting their environmental and community development goals. A complementary purpose of the study is to add to the limited amount of research on waste in East Africa."
