3 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 District Background Information Kajiado is among the districts that form the expansive Rift Valley Province of Kenya. It borders Narok and Kiambu to the west, Nairobi and Machakos to the north, Makueni and Taita Taveta to the east and Tanzania to the south. The district covers an area of 21,902.2 km2 and has a population of 550,779 projected from the 1999 population census (406,054) at an estimated growth rate of 5.1% due to immigrants. The altitude rises from 500 m above sea level in Magadi Division to 2,500 m in the Ngong Hills. The district was recently divided into two administrative districts namely Kajiado District comprising 6 divisions (Mashuru, Central, Ngong, Isinya, Magadi and Namanga) and Loitokitok District currently comprising one division (Loitokitok). There are five livelihood zones (LZ) with population proportions as shown in table 1 below: Table 1: Livelihood zones and population coverage Livelihood Zone % Population Pastoral all species 47 Formal Employment/Casual waged Labour/Business 32 Mixed cropping: Maize/beans/Tomatoes 12 Leasing Pastoral 5 Agro-Pastoral 4 The district has a bimodal rainfall pattern with short rains from October to December, and long rains from March to May. The average annual rainfall is 500mm around Lake Amboseli and Magadi, and 1,250mm on the slopes of Mt Kilimanjaro. The typical vegetation is open grassland, bushed grassland, wood and bush land. 1.2 History of relief operations in the District The government started food distributions in October 2003 General food distribution to food insecure populations during the five phases of emergency operations (EMOP), started in 2003 and ended in February 2007.Relief operation was necessitated by five successive drought seasons prior to the 2006 short rains season. 2 DISTRICT FOOD SECURITY SITUATION 2.1 Overall Food Security Situation Due to the factors listed in 1.3 above, and coupled by the team s findings, the district can be rated as borderline food insecure, with high risk of deteriorating further if there are no rains by March 2008.The worst affected areas are the pastoral areas of Mashuru, Magadi, Namanga, Central and low lands of Loitokitok that are predominantly pastoral. In the pastoralists livelihood zone, livestock body condition have significantly declined due to deterioration in availability and access to water, pasture and browse impacting negatively on productivity and incomes. In addition the terms of trade are not favourable as livestock 1

4 prices have declined by 10 % in both cattle and sheep. These factors have negated on the gains of the recovery process initiated earlier in the district Generally, the district received below normal amounts of rainfall compared to the long term average. For the months of October to December 2007, only 37% of the long term average rainfall was received (Figure 1). FIG. 1: CURRENT RAINFALL DATA AS AT OCTOBER 2007 COMPARED TO LONG TERM MEAN: KAJIADO DISTRICT RAINFALL (mm) JAN FEB MAR APR MAY JUN JUL AUG SEPT OCT NOV DEC YEAR YEAR MONTHS Factors Affecting Food Security Main factors affecting food security include: Trailing impacts of the prolonged drought period, , where a significant number of livestock was lost. Late onset of poorly distributed short rains which were mostly 20 50% of normal. This impacted negatively on both food production, access to water and pasture, and subsequently livestock body condition Human livestock wildlife conflicts; leading to competition for the scarce resources and sometimes loss of livestock Poor infrastructure (particularly roads) and development investment in remote parts of the district. Livestock diseases due to influx of livestock from other districts to take advantage of the attractive livestock market prices. Current ongoing shocks and hazards Wild fires: Pastoralists in Magadi, Central, Isinya, pastoral areas of Ngong lost 20-30% of their dry season grazing area through wildfire. Magadi Division was most affected. Wildlife menace: Crops and disease risk to livestock herds, and infrastructural damage. Insufficient, erratic and poorly short rains Environmental degradation through charcoal burning, clustering of livestock in dry grazing areas, mining and sand harvesting Impact of Shocks and Hazards of Food Security Crop production and Prices 2

5 Only 7.7% of the land in the district is considered as arable. With normal rainfall, the district produces about 4,114 MT of food while the total requirement is 92,245 MT. this leaves a gap of 78,131 MT. About 65% of the agro pastoral zones grow crops during the short rain season. Usually, early maturing drought tolerant varieties are grown in the agro pastoral zones. The major crops grown are maize and beans. In this short rain season, most of the planted crops succumbed to moisture stress before maturity when the rains ceased early. This was noted mainly in medium potential parts (Agro pastoral zone) of Mashuru, Loitokitok and Namanga divisions. Only crops grown in the upper parts and irrigation schemes of the district in Ngong and Loitokitok are expected to perform fairly. However, in irrigated schemes in Magadi the crop is expected to perform poorly due to destruction of the water intake by the elephants. The district is net importer of maize and beans. The staple diet is composed of maize/posho (Kiteke), milk and beans. Most households depleted their food stocks by July 2007 and reverted to market dependence. However, maize prices range from Kshs 15-24/= per kg indicating a rise compared to the long term average of 20/= (Figure 2). The January 2008 prices indicated reflect the team s findings in Loitokitok and Magadi divisions. The prices of beans are Kshs 30-60/= per kg also above the long term average of 40/= (Figure 3). The prices of beans are gradually increasing as dependence on market purchases increases. There is reduced food availability in the district due to transport problems following post-election violence. The available food stocks in the district are shown in Table 2 while maize and bean prices are reflected in figures 2 and 3 below: Table 2: Current District Stocks for Maize and Beans Category Maize (MT) Beans (MT) Farmers Traders NCPB 13, Fig. 2: Average maize prices at household level Vs long term mean- Kajiado Fig. 3: AverageBeans Price at Household Level For 2007 And 2008 Compared to Long Term Mean Ksh JAN FEB MAR APR MAY JUN JUL AUG SEP OCT NOV DEC YEAR YEAR Year/month/average KSH JAN FEB MA AP MA JUN JUL AU SEP OC NO DE YEAR YEAR YEAR/DISRICT MEAN Crop performance In the agro pastoral and mixed farming livelihood zones, the prospects are varied; most of the dry planted crops succumbed to moisture stress as the rains delayed, the late planted crops condition are precarious, especially in medium potential parts (agro pastoral zone) of Mashuru, Central Loitokitok and Namanga divisions, performance of these crops are pegged on whether the OND will continue into January Most farmers planted twice in early 3

6 October and in November 2007, and have depleted their seeds stocks. Only crops grown in the upper parts and irrigation schemes of the district in Ngong, Magadi, Namanga and Loitokitok are expected to perform fairly. Maize prices ranged from 15-24/= per Kg, and beans from Ksh 30/= - 60/= per kg compared to the long term average of 20/= and 40/= respectively, this was as result of imports and good harvests during the March-May rains country wide and in Loitokitok. Household food access and availability About 70% of households are depending on food purchases as most had depleted their food stocks from the previous short rains crops by July Milk availability is also on the decline as migrations intensified Livestock Production and Prices Livestock rearing is the main economic activity in the district supporting 70% of the population. Estimated livestock population comprise of 457,863 cattle, 513,584 sheep and 429,963 goats The quantity and quality of browse and pasture is poor district wide, especially in Magadi (as a result of wild fires). As a result there is notable Livestock movement towards Chyulu hills, Taveta, Nairobi, Kibwezi, Pakasse and some to Tanzania. The principal cause of migrations is pasture scarcity followed by water. Pasture scarcity was occasioned by wildfires, insufficient and intermittent rainfall and clustering of livestock in areas with improved pastures. Animal body condition is poor and is deteriorating. Outbreak of notifiable livestock diseases have also been reported in most locations such as FMD, CBPP, ECF, LSD and Trypanosomosis in cattle, and CCPP in goats. This has lead to imposition quarantine thus closure of livestock markets in Loitoktok district and Central, Isinya and Mashuru in Kajiado district. As a result there is a reduced household income that is severely eroding the purchasing power of the pastoralists. Water availability and accessibility for agriculture and livestock development remained poor and on downward trend. Return distances for livestock and for domestic use to water source averaged Km. In severely affected areas women and livestock start going for water as early as 3 a.m. in the morning as reported in Magadi, Ngong, Namanga, Mashuru and Loitokitok. This is impacting negatively on livestock body condition, prices and household food income and security. Calving, lambing and kidding is at 5-10% and declining, however, survival of lambs and calves is threatened due to low production of milk attributed to pasture scarcity and long trekking distances in search of water and pastures. This has also lead to scarcity of milk at the household level. Currently, the average milk production is litre/ cow/day and most HH have 1-3 lactating cows. There is evidence of malnutrition among children under-5 years, which could be attributed to this. The nutritional condition of lactating and expectant mothers is also challenged. Average household cattle prices for 2007 were generally lower than those of long term average (Figure 4) with the month of January 2007 recording the highest price (Ksh. 11,547) and decline to the lowest in January 2008 (Ksh. 8,000). The trend in average household goat prices (figure 5) was stable but decline slightly in January

Thus, boreholes, springs, weels, water pans and a few piped water supplies are the main sources of water Kajiado District. The rains expected in November and December came late, were erratic and poorly distributed and most of the district received less than 50% of normal. Consequently, most dams and pans have dried up leading to communities migrating in search of pasture and water. Distances to water sources increased in the last one month to 5-30km one way for the worst hit areas like Lenkism, Magadi, Oltepesi (Ngong) and 2-5 km in mildly affected like Isinya About 30% of boreholes are not operational and most plagued by mechanical breakdowns and this has caused increased pressure on the ones that are still operational further aggravating the situation. This situation has led to people and livestock spending 8-12 hour s waiting their turn at the watering points. Women leave their homes as early as 3.00am only to return at 4-6pm in some areas. As a result, the community is unable to attend to their other household duties leading to loss of household incomes, lower hygiene standards and absence of girls from schools. Water quality varies from one source to another; however the quality is worst for dams, pans due to contamination by livestock, wildlife and people. Spring and Piped water is generally of 5

8 good quality, the latter is usually treated. The water quality surveillance is s inadequate. The ministry of water quality sampling is done twice a year i.e. after each rainy season. The ministry of health is done every month. Sampling is done sometimes when there is public concern on the quality of water. Some projects geared towards addressing the water quality problems have been initiated by AMREF through distribution of chlorine tablets at Kshs. 4/= per tablets When the community is hit with a food crisis, there is often an increase in charcoal burning activities as the community seek alternative sources of livelihood. More trees are cut and the land is left vulnerable to soil erosion leading to interruption of hydro meteorological processes. Clustering of livestock and wildlife at watering points and overgrazing in some parts of the District is also a cause environmental degradation. Encroachment of riparian zones in some parts of the district where irrigated agriculture is practiced causes siltation of rivers. Sand harvesting is another practice that causes disruption of river flows and sometime the streams may eventually dry up (Some rivers in the Central division). Mining quarries which have been left un-reclaimed provide breeding grounds for mosquitoes and pose a health hazard to the community Health and Nutrition Health NO. CASES FIG. 6: TOP 5 CAUSES OF MORBIDITY IN KAJIADO DISTRICT 200, , ,000 50, Kajiado district has a total of 116 health facilities, which include 3 (1private) hospitals, 13 health centres, 49 dispensaries and 2 private nursing homes. Malaria is the leading cause of morbidity in the district as illustrated in figure 6. Malaria URTI Diarrhoea Pneumonia Skin disease Reported epidemic prone diseases during this period were measles (455 cases), amaebiasis (3228 cases) and typhoid (6818). FIG. 7: HIV PREVALENCE RATES IN KAJIADO DISTRICT: HIV prevalence rate has been rising over the past three years as shown in the figure 7 below: Male Female Average The prevalence rates among females are high than males mainly due to the following reasons: - Cultural practices such as FGM, early marriages, polygamy and population migrations. Itinerant livestock trading practices because of high proceeds and accompanying risks of exposure To address this problem, the district has set up a total of 10 comprehensive care clinics (CCCs) distributed as follows: Namanga Division 2; Ngong Division 2; Isinya Division 6

9 2; Magadi Division 1; Loitoktok 2 and Central - 1. A total of 2,460 patients are on ARVs through these CCCs. There has been a general increase in number of TB cases reported over the past three years; 203 in 2005, 1,034 in 2006 and 893 in This is attributed to the co-infection between HIV and TB. On the long term, this is likely to affect food production due to weakened section of the population which is supposed to be involved in the economically productive activities. Immunization coverage has been improving as shown in the table 3 below: - Table 3: Immunization coverage in Kajiado District Immunized Year <1years Total <1year % ,926 20, ,417 20, ,360 21, Total 38,703 62, However, the coverage declined progressively from 96% in July 2007 to 86% by December This is attributed to mothers shift in priorities, from health care to food as their stocks were exhausted by July Nutrition Malnutrition levels have remained almost constant at 4.47% % between 2005 and Between September 2007 and January 2008, the MUAC was below long term average (see graph below). However, malnutrition rates went up, at 8.9% in July 2007 and 10.2% in December 2007, compared to 14.8% in October 2006 at the height of the drought. This is attributed to increased migration of livestock and reduced access to milk and food. There were increased rates of malnutrition in the pastoral areas of Mashuru, Central and Loitokitok. See figure 8.

10 Kajiado district has 295 public schools, out of which 265 are primary while 30 are secondary. The current pupils/students enrolment in the district is 90, 093 pupils (primary boys and girls 41952; Secondary has a total of 8203, boys 4229 and 3974 girls. All primary schools are dependent on school feeding programme (Regular and expanded) which is sustained through external support from World Food Programme and other well wishers. See table 4 for coverage of the Regular School Feeding Programme. School feeding program in the district has proven effective in reducing the education gap between girls and boys. For example, enrolment trends from all divisions show that while food is the initial motivation for sending girls to school, parents of participating girls develop an interest in the education of their daughters. This change in attitudes is an important factor in enhancing parents commitment to education beyond the duration of food assistance. This is a positive indicator that enhances future development A joint effort of the Kenya government and WFP support regular school feeding programme in the district. However, the expanded school feeding programme was phased out together with general food distribution under EMOP in February As a result, 36 primary schools with an enrolment of 29,000 pupils across are not getting any food aid.

Though ESFP was phased out in term 3 of 2007, no major drop out was realised in the affected schools. However the cumulative effect of lack of food aid is likely to cause drop cases within the next two terms. 8

11 2.1.6 Population Movements and Migration Migrations have been mostly towards areas perceived to be still having water and pasture. By the end of 2008, internal migrations that started in July/August 2007 had intensified in Magadi, Central, Mashuru, and the pastoral areas of Lenkism, Mbirikani and Kuku. Since pasture in the district is getting depleted fast, livestock migration has began towards Chyulu hills Taveta, Nairobi, Kibwezi, Pakasse and some to Tanzania Coping Mechanisms Some of the coping mechanisms practised in the district include: Charcoal burning for income Sand harvesting Family sharing to assist needy families Collective herding of the animals Migration of animals towards dry season grazing areas- Pakasse, chyulu hills etc. Casual labour- fencing, herding, fetching water, clearing of weeds, etc Food Security Prognosis The performance of 2007 October to December short rains was characterized by a late onset and uneven distribution in the lower pastoral and agro pastoral areas of Kajiado and Loitokitok districts. Despite improvements of the rains by the end of November and into December, the abrupt end of or failure of the short rains, is marked by concerns for crops that were planted late due to the erratic and delayed rains, and for pasture and water availability during the upcoming dry season. The impact of the dry season on household food security especially in the pastoral and the agro pastoral livelihoods will be particularly severe this year following the poor performance of the short rains. Successive rain failures are putting a strain on livelihood assets adversely affecting the recovery process. Food security in the districts is highly food insecure and could deteriorate further if the rains fail, especially toward the end of the dry season in February Favourable food security status is pegged on whether the OND will continue into January Divisional Food Security Ranking Based on this, the ranking of food insecurity in the district is in Table 6 below: - Table 6: Divisional food security ranking Division Rank* Livelihood Main food security threat Magadi 1 Pastoral -Received less rainfall, total crop failure, lost large herds of livestock, internal migrations began in July, no alternative source of livelihood, Ipomea spp. Invasion, water scarcity.
