Across Kenya’s cities, towns and rural landscapes, the sight and the stench of unmanaged waste has become all too familiar. From the towering mounds at Nairobi’s Dandora dumpsite to the plastic-choked drains of Mombasa and Kisumu, solid waste stands out as one of the country’s most pressing and visible development challenges. At its core lies …
In Kenya, the Kenya National Bureau of Statistics (KNBS) defines rural areas as all parts of the country that are not gazetted as urban centres, such as cities, municipalities or towns. Housing the rural population therefore involves addressing the unique challenges of accessibility, affordability, cultural appropriateness and infrastructure limitations that distinguish rural living from urban …
Once a symbol of life and vitality flowing through Kenya’s capital, the Nairobi River is part of a larger basin comprising several tributaries, including the Mathare, Ngong, Gitathuru, Rui Ruaka, and Kirichwa Rivers. Spanning over 70 kilometers in length, the Nairobi River Basin drains an area of approximately 2,000 hectares, traversing key sub-counties such as …
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is based on the principle that human intelligence can be defined in a way that a machine can easily mimic it and execute tasks, from the simplest to those that are even more complex. The goals of artificial intelligence include learning, reasoning, and perception. The agriculture industry is turning to AI technologies …
