“Hii ni jua ya mvua”
For any other Nairobian, this is just an ordinary statement, but for a resident of Mukuru, this statement and the heat coming from the sun is a call to quick retrospection. Is my bed raised high enough? Did I remember to put the important documents in the backpack? Will I be out of work by the time it starts to pour?
In nature, silicate rocks such as basalt slowly react with CO₂ and water, converting carbon into stable carbonate minerals or dissolved bicarbonates over long time scales. Enhanced Rock Withering (ERW) speeds up this reaction by mining suitable silicate rocks, grinding them into fine particles to increase surface area, and applying them to agricultural soils.
The government requires all new mini-grids to comply with the Kenya National Distribution Code to build grid-ready mini-grids. This approach is intended to support long-term planning and prevent duplication of infrastructure. However, this policy has created uncertainty for investors. Developers are unsure what will happen when their systems are integrated into the grid. Without clear protocols for compensation, asset transfer or operational continuity post-integration, investors remain cautious.
While technological advancement continues to reshape agriculture globally, its potential in the African context is both profound and complex. Given that the agricultural sector is largely composed of resource-poor smallholders, the integration of technology faces inherent limitations, often operating at a more foundational and fragmented level.
In Kenya’s informal settlements, electricity access remains a persistent socio-technical challenge shaped by the tension between the national utility’s push for formal connections and the entrenched presence of informal electricity providers, often called cartels.
Across much of sub-Saharan Africa, cooking is still very much a smoky affair for both rural and urban households. Despite decades of policy ambition and investment, biomass remains a dominant player in the cooking landscape.
The Kenyan government’s current program of demolishing structures and relocating residents living on riparian land in Nairobi has raised concerns about equity and fairness.
The Ecotreat waste digester is a microorganism based product that breaks down different kinds of waste: human solid waste, animal waste, vegetable gums, fats, complex proteins, oils, and greases as well as cellulose (tissue paper) and starches at an accelerated rate.
From the forum, it was apparent that people across different socio-economic divides and geographical regions had different views and opinions regarding electric cooking.
Despite the digital progression, the urban poor communities in informal settlements remain excluded from the digital mobility which increases their vulnerability to multifaceted shocks.
Extension of the grid by the national utility continues to be carried out across the country. It is still, however, not clear when all the areas will be reached by the national grid.
The latency of resilience means that it is impossible to measure and observe in a risk-free context. Only communities (or systems) that have been exposed to risk can be termed as resilient (or not).
Interestingly, a significant number of households have shifted to technology and use of digital platforms to address uncertainties of water access.

Occurring concurrently with the rise of off-grid electricity access projects is a growing and sustained interest in doing away with non-renewable sources of energy or unclean fuels.
