“…targets in 2015. Kenya did not do any better towards meeting the sustainable development goals and instead continued to rely on poorly developed and poorly maintained small scale and outdated water supply systems (Wagah, Onyango & Kibwage, 2010;Trepanier, Orare, Nyagwencha, & Grady, 2021). The few functional water supply systems are over exploited with leakages and illegal connections (Wagah, Onyango & Kibwage, 2010).…”

This study assessed the influence of Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) work plan on sustainable water supply in Nyamira South Sub-County, Kenya. The study was based on a theoretical framework composed of monitoring and evaluation work plan of water supply as the independent variable and sustainable water supply as the dependent variable. Frequencies, percentages, mean, and standard deviation; simple and multiple linear regression and Pearson Correlation Coefficient models were applied on the quantitative data while narrative analysis was applied on the qualitative data. The total respondents who agreed and strongly agreed that the water supply in Nyamira South Sub-County was: long enough were 22.7 per cent; adequate for the needs of the people were 22.5 per cent; of good quality were 31.2 per cent; safe for drinking were 32.1 per cent. Those who agreed that funds generated from the water supply were adequate were 15.4 per cent; and that the water was affordable were 22.1 per cent. The qualitative findings suggested that the water supply was not sustainable. Based on the composite mean and standard deviation of 2.47 and 1.01 respectively, the study suggested that the M&E work plan for Nyamira South Sub-County water supply existed and was available. However, the work plan was not in use, was not regularly reviewed nor updated. The study’s hypothesis of no significant relationship between M&E work plan and sustainable water supply in Nyamira South Sub-County, Kenya was rejected since P=0.000<0.05. Strengthening the use of M&E work plan in project implementation was recommended.

“…According to a study done in Kajiado County in Kenya, 59.2% of households lacked access to toilet facilities of which 98.4% of people reported to be open defecators (Mbogo et al, 2018). In Kenya's Kisii County, only 32% of village communities were declared ODF (Trepanier et al, 2021). In the coastal regions of Kenya, Kwale County leads with 51.2% followed by Kilifi at 34.0% as open defecators (MoH, 2014).…”

Despite Kenya aiming to achieve 100% ODF status by 2030 and adopting CLTS, about 5.6 million (14%) of the population practice OD. Thus, this study was guided by the research question: What is the level of uptake of community led total sanitation among residents of Isiolo County? The study used a descriptive cross-sectional methodology and conducted among residents of Isiolo Sub-County, Kenya. The study sampled 373 household heads from population of about 21,870 household heads for the study. Systematic random sampling was used to select the participants. An inclusion and exclusion criteria-based period lived in the county and consent to participate in the study were used. Data collection instruments entailed structured questionnaires for households’ heads, key informant interview (KII) guides for opinion leaders, and an observation checklist. The content validity of the tools was assessed by expert from the department of Environmental Health at Kenyatta University. The tools were piloted in Longopito Sub-location with 37 households. Reliability of the tools was assessed using the piloted data through the test-retest technique. The paired data sets were correlated, giving R=0.75. The study found an association between demographic factors and the uptake of CLTS in Isiolo county. The uptake of CLTS was found to be low with almost half of the sampled residents lacking latrines. The study concludes there were a number of demographic factors that were significantly associated with the utilization of CLTS including the highest level of education (χ2=66.866, p = 0.001), Occupation (χ2=12.690, p = 0.002), Average monthly family income (KShs) (χ2=43.373, p = 0.012) and number of household members (χ2=6.948, p = 0.044). The study also found that Isiolo County had a low uptake rate for community-led total sanitation. Only three out of ten households in the county uptake CLTS. The study recommends that the County Government of Isiolo should scale up health education programs on community led total sanitation

“…Engineers can be key players in improving household water security across seasons by being ready to address climate and hydrological stressors on engineered systems while also pursuing things such as cultural awareness and co-creation of water-provisioning systems with communities (Workman et al, 2021). Understanding the mechanisms through which environmental seasonality affects household experiences with water will help engineers and policymakers alike obtain a more nuanced perspective of the heterogeneity of water needs across different people groups, especially as those needs differ by geographical and freshwater ecosystem locations (Trepanier et al, 2021). This will also provide data for evidence-based decision-making surrounding policy tradeoffs and implementation, which is especially important with the expectation of changes in climate to continue and downstream effects on human systems to become more severe (Flowers, 2021).…”

Household water insecurity (HWI) can have far‐reaching consequences for human health and well‐being, yet little is known about how environmental seasonality contributes to HWI variation. Using a systematic literature review, we examined the following questions: (1) How does environmental seasonality affect HWI? and (2) How do the effects vary over time? We also highlighted strategic areas for future research. We conducted the search using Scopus, Web of Science, PubMed, ProQuest, and EBSCO Academic Search Complete, with an end search date of February 3, 2021; only English‐language studies were included. Articles were included in the review if analysis studied seasonal temperature, precipitation, or freshwater variation and individual or household experiences with household water adequacy, water reliability, water affordability, or water safety. Bias was evaluated via hand assessment, and articles of poor quality were excluded. Studies that focused on extreme weather events or water insecurity at community or watershed levels were omitted. We identified 67 articles, the majority of which were cross‐sectional (n = 46, 68.7%). Among longitudinal studies (n = 21, 31.3%), only one used a quantitative HWI scale, while the rest relied on proxies (n = 20, 95.2%). Our review also revealed literature gaps related to unequal coverage of freshwater ecosystem habitat types and forms of environmental seasonality. There is a need for more attention to extreme climate events, such as a prolonged multiyear drought. With changing climate expected to exacerbate weather patterns with serious implications, especially for vulnerable populations, understanding seasonality in HWI is important for crafting sustainable engineering and policy responses to water insecurity.
