Seasonal Cash For Asset Initiative presentation KILIFI DSGStephen Musimba
油
The document discusses a Seasonal Cash for Assets (SCFA) pilot program in Kilifi, Kenya. It provides background on cash transfers as an alternative or complement to food aid. The objectives of the SCFA pilot are to enhance community resilience through safety nets or asset creation. The rationale is that providing cash instead of food during harvest periods will increase local food markets and be more cost-efficient for WFP than food distribution. The payment process involves beneficiary enrollment and verification, production of payment cards, work-norm submission, funds transfer, and cash withdrawal.

Children have the right to a name and nationality at birth, free basic education, basic nutrition, shelter, healthcare, and protection from abuse, neglect, harmful practices and violence. They also have the right to parental care and protection regardless of their parents' marital status. A child should not be detained except as a last resort and if detained, it should be for the shortest appropriate time separate from adults in age and sex-appropriate conditions. A child's best interests must be considered as top priority regarding any matter concerning the child.
The document discusses environmental issues and presents an alternative cooking stove called the Philips Energy Saving Jiko. It summarizes that the environment is facing problems like habitat destruction, pollution, and climate change. It then introduces the jiko stove, stating that it allows faster and healthier cooking using less wood than traditional methods. Planting trees is recommended to offset fuel wood use and protect the environment.
The document outlines the planning process for rainwater harvesting and management interventions at the community level. It discusses determining community needs, understanding local natural resources, selecting appropriate technologies, encouraging community participation, and ensuring long-term sustainability. The planning process involves baseline data collection, identifying suitable sites, designing water infrastructure, and developing a district-level plan map to guide implementation and management of rainwater resources.
This document provides guidelines for the implementation of Food for Assets (FFA) projects in Kenya. It outlines the project identification process, which involves food security analysis by the Kenya Food Security Group to identify areas for FFA projects. Cooperating partners will then work with District Steering Groups and communities to identify viable FFA projects using participatory methods. The projects should aim to improve food security and mitigate drought impacts. The document provides detailed guidance on various stages of the FFA process, including food aid requirements, project approval, targeting, distribution, capacity building, monitoring and evaluation. The overall goal is to implement FFA projects that improve food security and build community assets and resilience in arid and semi-arid areas of Kenya

2) This Constitution is the supreme law of the land and binds all state organs, state officers and all persons.
3) This Constitution shall be upheld and defended by all state organs and all persons.
This document provides a handbook on constructing small earth dams manually for water supply. It discusses site investigations, designs, cost estimates, construction and maintenance of small ponds and dams. The handbook covers various types of small dams such as charco dams, hillside dams, and valley dams. It provides guidance on feasibility studies, community participation, environmental impact considerations, and legal requirements before building small dams. The overall aim is to guide technicians, farmers and communities in developing small water sources for agricultural, livestock, and domestic uses.
The Kilifi FFA team from ALRMP and World Vision Kenya visited the Malindi FFA team on April 11th, 2011 in an exchange visit to share information and improve project implementation across FFA districts. Key moments included visits to Malindi's ALRMP greenhouse project, community meetings at FFA sites, tree plantings in Malanga by the Kilifi and Malindi teams together with community members, and a visit to a negarim site with community members.
This document discusses how rural communities in Kenya can develop sustainable water supplies with assistance from the Water Services Trust Fund. It describes six water projects built by Danish International Development Agency (DANIDA) in partnership with local communities between 2003-2006. The projects trained community members to construct and maintain infrastructure like intakes, dams, and kiosks to provide local water access. Communities contributed labor and materials to lower costs. Ongoing training on financial management, record keeping, and maintenance aims to ensure communities independently operate and maintain their water systems over the long term.
The document outlines an itinerary for a meeting on May 6, 2011 in Kilifi to discuss Philips Energy Saving Jikos. The itinerary includes an opening prayer, setting norms, a presentation on the jikos, group discussion, and closing remarks. The meeting aims to introduce an energy efficient cooking stove to the community.
The document discusses the most important factors for a water harvesting system. It lists climate, hydrology, topography, agronomy, soils, and socio-economics as the key factors. Hydrology is defined as dealing with the full life cycle of water on Earth, including its occurrence, circulation, distribution, properties, and interaction with the environment.
The document discusses operation and maintenance of rainwater harvesting structures. It defines operation, repair, and maintenance in relation to these structures. It emphasizes the importance of operation and maintenance for maximizing the lifespan and performance of structures. It provides best practices for operating structures like bunds, terraces, and pans as well as small-scale irrigation schemes. It also discusses performance-based maintenance to ensure optimal water use, hydraulic, and structural integrity over the long-term. The conclusion recommends providing budgets and schedules for regular operation and maintenance activities.
This document provides an overview of basic hydraulics concepts for landscape irrigation design. It discusses static water pressure, which refers to pressure in a closed system with no water movement. Static pressure is created by elevating water sources above the point of use through tanks, towers, or reservoirs, or by pressurizing water systems with pumps. The relationship between water pressure (psi or kg/cm2) and elevation (feet or meters of head) is explained. Higher elevations create greater static pressure that can be used to power irrigation systems. Examples are provided to demonstrate how to calculate static pressure from given elevations or pumping pressures.
This document provides an overview and introduction to the report of the Commission of Inquiry into Post-Election Violence in Kenya. It includes:
1. An outline of the mandate and process of establishing the Commission, including setting up structures, establishing communication strategies, publishing rules and procedures, and conducting consultations.
2. A discussion of methodology used by the Commission given time constraints, including different approaches taken in different provinces.
3. An introduction to issues covered in subsequent chapters such as the nature and extent of violence, causes and patterns of violence, sexual violence, internally displaced persons, the media's role, and acts/omissions of security agencies.
This document is a handbook on harvesting rainwater from roads. It provides guidance on diverting rainwater runoff from roads into storage structures like earth dams, water tanks, and subsurface dams. These structures can provide water for livestock, irrigation, and other uses while preventing erosion. The handbook contains details on the construction of different types of water storage structures like hemispherical tanks made of various materials, cylindrical underground tanks, ponds, and subsurface dams. It also discusses runoff farming techniques like soil bunds and macro-irrigation that make use of rainwater flowing from roads.
This document provides a handbook for technicians and builders on surveying, designing, constructing, and maintaining roof catchment systems for water collection.
