  1. Title: Small-Scale Irrigation and Drainage Points in Kenya, 1995

    Contributors:

    Summary: This point shapefile contains locations of existing small-scale irrigation and drainage points in Kenya. Clusters of small-scale irrigation points are especially prevalent around the shores of Lake Victoria and the base of Mount Kenya. The irrigated areas around the base of Mount Kenya depend mostly on water from the upper Tana and Ewaso Ngiro Rivers, which drain from the top of the mountain. This data was used in Map 3.12 in Nature's Benefits in Kenya: An Atlas of Ecosystems and Human Well-Being. Kenya. Ministry of Agriculture. (1995). Small-Scale Irrigation and Drainage Points in Kenya, 1995. Kenya, Ministry of Agriculture. Available at: http://purl.stanford.edu/jt676ms4525 Data set is not for use in litigation. While efforts have been made to ensure that these data are accurate and reliable within the state of the art, WRI, cannot assume liability for any damages, or misrepresentations, caused by any inaccuracies in the data, or as a result of the data to be used on a particular system.

  15. Title: GINI Coefficient for 210 Constituencies in Kenya, 1999

    Contributors:

    Summary: This polygon shapefile depicts the average inequality of per capita expenditures (also known as the GINI Index) for 210 constituencies in Kenya for 1999. Spatial patterns of inequality in per capita expenditure (as measured by the Gini coefficient) differ at the sub- provincial level. Areas of highest inequality are found near urban areas, including Nairobi and large towns such as Kisumu. Inequality also is quite high in some less poor areas of the central highlands and Rift Valley, perhaps due to very poor subsistence farmers living side by side with more prosperous households earning higher incomes from commercial agriculture. Inequality is lower in areas of the north, Western Province, North East Province, and Coastal Province where the populace is more uniformly poor. This data was used in Map 2.10 in Nature's Benefits in Kenya: An Atlas of Ecosystems and Human Well-Being. Kenya, Central Bureau of Statistics and Kenya, Ministry of Planning and National Development (2003). GINI Coefficient for 210 Constituencies in Kenya, 1999. Kenya, Central Bureau of Statistics.
