PRIORITY AREA: Control of Soil Erosion and Improving

Sanitation and Hygiene along the Lake.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Environmental degradation has taken a major course in Kanam Location.

This has been catalyzed by poor farming methods and runoff water

escalated by the topography. This has lead to soil erosion which has

polluted the lake because deposits are been carried to lake. Soil erosion has

led to lake siltation that make lake shore not conducive for fish breeding

thus decrease in fish stocks. This has made the community around

economically inactive.

To address this problem community participation is a paramount approach

to improve the situation. Through capacity building and awareness creation

on lake pollution interventions, issues at hand can be streamlined. Control

of soil erosion reduces lake siltation and prevents the lake from being

polluted by farm chemical being used by horticulture farmers. Construction

of environment friendly toilets and fish Banda will improve sanitation and

hygiene along the lake. Roof top water harvesting will reduce the quantity

and speed of run off water thus reduces soil erosion. Add something on

reforestation and building of gabions.

The expected outcome of this project is realization of environment free from

pollution especially Lake Victoria. Clean and clear water guarantees good

INTRODUCTION

Banana beach was formed in the year 2001 and registered under Ministry of

Home Affairs, Heritage and Sports , Department of Social Services in the

year 2004 Holding a Certificate of Registration number 1284/2004 underSelf Help Project known as Banana Beach Self Help Group. The Banana

Beach became a Beach Management Unit after qualifying under National

Beach Management Guidelines in the year 2006 and holds BMUs certificate

of registration number FISH/ BMU/REG.NO-121/2011.BMUs are community-

based legally-recognized fisheries management organizations, registered

with Fisheries Department. BMUs have been formed all around Lake Victoria

so that fishing communities manage fisheries resources and protectenvironment with government and other stakeholders.

Banana Beach Management Unit is situated in Homa Bay County, West

Karachuonyo Division, and Kanam A Location, Kowuor Sub-Location. The

BMU was formed to address issues of un-employment among the people

within the locality, Co-Manage fisher resource, improve hygiene and

sanitation, environmental conservation and awareness on health anddevelopment issues among the catchment area community. To address

these issues the BMU has undertaken various activities which includes

(GOK/IFAD)- on training on Horticulture

v. Homa Hills Community Development Organization- on

construction, financial management training, gender and

HIV/AIDS awareness campaigns

vi. World Vision PALA IPA- on Community Home Based Care and

roof top water harvesting.

vii. Provincial Administration-Security within the beach and Lake.

Banana Beach Management Unit is a member of the Beach Management

Unit network which promotes equity and justice between BMUs. A BMU

Network is a grouping of all BMUs or lower BMU Networks within a defined

administrative area formed from Location, division, district, provincial,

National to regional level. BBMU has also set networks HOPANET (Homa hills

Paralegal Network), GEMANET (Gender Mainstreaming Networks) and other

CBOs.

2. BACKGROUND

2.1. Statement of the problem.

Environmental degradation has taken a major course in Kanam Location.

This has been catalyzed by i) poor farming methods; ii) excessive run off

water escalated by Homa Hills of which charcoal dealers and subsistence


7/21

The effects of lake pollution reduces the economic strength of the

community. This makes the community poverty level to be high due to

these human activities.

2.2. Current situation.

Homa hills degradation and topography has lead to soil erosion which has

brought the emergence of gullies and Lake Siltation, soil fertility has

reduced, hence low crop production. Lake pollution has lead to decline of

fish stocks and baits, water borne diseases are being experienced due to

animal and human excretes being deposited in the lake during rainy

season, due to lack of enough toilets of which contaminates water and the

same water is used for domestic purposes. Horticulture has encouraged use

of chemicals along the lake of which when farmers water their plants using

water pump the same water containing chemicals find its way back to the

lake. Lack of wood fuel for domestic purposes has also resulted in mass

destruction of the few available tree cover. Unfinished fish landing Bandaand unfenced beach has lead to low income and health hazard to the BBMU

members and the community around.

2.3. Justification.

The effects of lake pollution have made the living standard of Kanam

community unbearable hence justifying the importance project. In order to

address these challenges it is essential to intervene with possible strategiesso as to improve the conditions hence improve the livelihood of the

members and community. The beach management unit has managed to

All these interventions are geared towards the realization of the Vision 2030

in attaining better livelihood.

13/21

i. Community participation- BBMU will develop Community Action

Plans in consultation with the community members, agricultural

officers, forestry officers, NEMA personnel and stakeholders soas to make the implementation participatory approach.

ii. Procurement- all procurement will be done as per the agreed

terms and conditions by all stakeholders.

iii. Implementation- the process will start by identifying key areas

to plant trees. Schools and churches compound will be givenfirst priority. The community will take part in building of

gabions, terraces and good land tilting methods. Agricultural

officers and ministry of forest will provide technical assistance.

Objective 2: To construct 20 ecosan toilets in Kanam community by

2012.

Procedures- The following activities will take place

Training farmers on good farming methods will improve soil fertility, free

lakes pollution from agricultural chemicals used in horticulture, and reducelake siltation due run off water from irrigation pumps and rain water all

these will mean increased farm yields and fish catch in that baits will be now

available.

1. Controlled soil erosion will reduce Lake Siltation, improve soil fertility

hence increase crop production this will translate to improved living

standard.

2. Constructed of environmental friendly toilets will reduce water borne

diseases hence impro ed health of members and comm nit
