Regional institutions in Africa have the potential to reinforce the adaptive capacity of rural communities in handling climate change impacts. The institutional arrangements provide the rationale for scaling-up adaptation ...
Solar energy is one of the readily available renewable energy resources in the developing countries within the tropical region. Kenya is one of the countries which receive an average of approximately 6.5 sunshine hours in ...
The Cadastral system in Kenya was established in 1903 to support land alienation for the white settlers who had come into the country in latter part of the 20th Century. In the last hundred years, the system has remained ...
In the Maasai Mara ecosystem, nomadic pastoralism remains a dominant form of land tenure where pastoralists align their livelihoods with seasonal climate variations by systematically moving their livestock to different ...
This paper argues that the imposition of Western-style land tenure system into Kenya has not killed the spirit of the customary tenure. Instead, the customary system only went underground where it continued to grow despite ...
A major challenge facing African today is the growth of urban informal settlements. From a government perspective, management of the proliferation of informal settlements implies planning and control of the location in ...
Land Policy Reviews in Africa are currently supported by a Framework and Guidelines on Land Policy in Africa as developed by the African Union Commission (AUC) and the African Development Bank (AfDB) initiative. The document ...
Land Tenure is a collection of relationships which exist between members of a society by virtue of their occupation and use of land [Ezigbalike and Benwell, 1995]. These relationships are dynamic and change with cultural ...
In Kenya, various types of cadastral maps are in use for land administration; the most famous being Registry Index Maps (RIMs) used in the rural areas due to their ease of production by simple surveying techniques and air ...
The cadastral system in Kenya was established in 1903 to cater for land alienation for the white settlers. Since then, a hundred years later, the structure of the system has remained more or less the same despite major ...
Conventional notions of the ‘land parcel’ have been extended: previously unrecognized tenures including customary, nomadic, or communal interests are now incorporated into the concept. Technical tools including the Social ...

In this study, a biosealant obtained from microbial carbonate precipitation (MCP) was evaluated as an alternative to an epoxy-coating system. A bacterium Sporosarcina pasteurii strain ATCC 11859, which metabolizes urea and ...
This study evaluated the constituent make up of simulated rainwater runoff from Class C fly ash–stabilized and nonstabilized clay soil using laboratory test pads to assess the potential for impacts to surface water from ...
This research developed and demonstrated a technology to liberate Hg adsorbed onto powdered activated carbon PAC by the TOXECON process using pilot-scale high temperature air slide HTAS and bench-scale thermogravimetric ...
The type of bacteria, bacterial cell concentration, initial urea concentration, reaction temperature, the initial Ca2+ concentration, ionic strength, and the pH of the media are some factors that control the activity of ...
A square duct with a 90-degree streamwise curvature is representative of complex flow domains. Such flow domains are encountered in the designs of fluids engineering systems, especially in the aerospace turbo-machinery ...
