NEVER AGAIN! -- Report From Kenya groups who do not have an indigenous church of three large Muslim groups the Borana, Bajun and gabbra. come together to reach the unreached peoples of Kenya http://www.ad2000.org/re71208.htm
Extractions: Dec 4, 1997 In reporting on the impact of the African National Initiatives Consultation in Nairobi early November, Dr Kabachia said, "When the Kenya delegation were confronted by lists of unreached peoples in Kenya, they determined that never again would a Kenyan delegation attend a global consultation to be embarrassed by such lists." He went on to say, "Before the next consultation in the year 2000, every people group in Kenya will be penetrated." Since GCOWE '97, the Kenya delegation of 80-plus leaders has moved decisively forward to give substance to their declaration. In a series of three one-day seminars, GCOWE delegates have met, discussed, decided and acted to implement an exciting plan to see a church established amongst every people group in Kenya by the year 2000. At the October seminar delegates endorsed the Steering Committee's choice of name for the initiative - 'Finish the Task 2000'. Dr Kabachia, chairman of the initiative, explains, "'Finish the Task 2000' is not a general statement, but a specific goal." He said, " There is no way that we can ever be sure that we have completed the job of preaching the gospel to everyone. When it seems that everyone has heard, there will always be someone coming to the age of accountability who will not have heard. What we are talking about are people groups who do not have an indigenous church of their own." In describing the operating style of the Kenya initiative Dr Kabachia explained that, from the outset, the aim has been to encourage wide and active participation by all. He said, "We want 'Finishing the Task 2000' to be idea-friendly and open to all." He went on to explain, "We want everyone to feel this is 'our' thing. Not an 'us' and 'them' thing."

Extractions: Up Update: Economic incentives among patoralists in Kenya Source: Walter Lusigi. Telephone interview, 24.8.2000. If the status of the Biosphere Reserve as well as the one of the Forest Reserves at the top of the mountains has not changed, the ecosystems have continued to decline over the 12 years period. The trend toward deterioration is due to increased population pressure in the area. The pastoral population as well as the livestock population has expanded, thereby increasing pressure on the resources in the Biosphere Reserve. New threats to biodiversity have emerged due to this increase in the number of people in the area, putting more pressure on woody vegetation and complicating furthermore the search for food. The Integrated Project on Arid Lands (IPAL), which had created a series of economic incentives, was implemented by a World Banks team. The team had demarcated the reserve and the IPAL had resources because of the teams efforts to maintain constant awareness among the chiefs and the population regarding the Biosphere Reserve. However, the IPAL, which was a UNESCO project conducted in collaboration with the government of Kenya and funded by Germany, ended in 1987 and was handed over to the government of Kenya. The Kenyan Agricultural Research Institute (KARI), which thereafter managed the project, then established one of its offices in the Biosphere Reserve.

Extractions: Status : 10% Christian NARRATIVE PROFILE Location : The Borana are part of a very much larger group of about 4 to 5 million persons of whom approximately 90,000 live in north central Kenya with the balance in Ethiopia. They are related to the Oromo in Somalia also. They live in a large area of barren northern Kenya. About 44% of the Kenya Borana live in Marsabit District, into Tana River District, Garissa District and in Moyale District. The heaviest concentration live in the Sololo area of Marsabit District and in Moyale District. Those in Isiolo District are concentrated in Merti and Garba Tula. History: The Borana are one of the resulting groups of Oromo migrants who left the southern highlands of Ethiopia in the 1500's. Most of the Borana and related peoples live in Ethiopia. The Oromo had migrated east but were pushed back by the Somali leading to a greater southern expansion. There are almost 4 million Borana people, most living in Ethiopia. Identity: The word spelled Borana is pronounced with the final vowel silent. It refers to the people or their language and also means friend or kind person. Thus, a bad person may be told he is not Borana.

Extractions: I MILK AS A RAW MATERIAL ANIMAL SPECIES AND MILK COMPOSITION> The preparation of traditional milk products in the regions and countries covered by reports from several contributors and respondents to the FAO world survey is influenced by many factors including agricultural practices, animal husbandry, periods of availability of milk as influenced by weather, climate, stage of development of commercial milk processing in individual countries, eating habits of the rural and urban populations etc. and facilities for conservation of milk etc. Of very considerable influence is the species of animal used for milk production and other agricultural purposes, the breeds of the different species used for milk production and the composition and suitability of the milk of different species for the preparation of milk products. The composition of milk from different species is given in Table 1. The general importance of the individual species for milk production in various regions is summarised in Table 2. Table 1.

Extractions: Hinter den Höfen 29, D-37124 Rosdorf, Germany The livelihood of the majority of rural people in African drylands depends on the forests and woodlands as sources of agricultural land, firewood and charcoal, as well as non-timber tree products such as food, fibre and medicines. As the ecological balance in arid and semi-arid environments is delicate, sustainable land-use practices are required if people's basic needs for the future are to be fulfilled. Sustainable utilization of tree and shrub resources, as in agroforestry, is an integral part of this. The main objectives of this paper are to emphasize the variety of non-timber tree and shrub products found in drylands, to describe their utilization and to indicate local people's knowledge. Field research and observations took place in Kenya and Mozambique, where migration and changes in settlement have occurred in recent history. Such migration has brought together varied experiences, and it has also caused changes in traditional woodland utilization. Field experience has been checked with other information from the drylands of southern and eastern Africa, so as to give a broader view of current woodland product resources and their potential in the region.
Extractions: World Wide Web Resources Camelidae Family (see Mason, I.L 1979 for more taxonomic information and characteristics of these animals.) The Camelidae evolved in North America. Their ancestors migrated from North America across the Alaskan land bridge to Asia and down across Panama into South America. They eventually became extinct in North America, but adapted well and evolved to their current forms. At one time the camels ranged from Asia to Eastern Europe. After crossing into Africa, they were found across the northern area and as far south as northern Tanzania. Taxonomy Camels are in the taxonomic order Artiodactyla (even toed ungulates), sub order Tylopoda (pad-footed), and Family Camlidae. They are ruminants along with the giraffes, deer, cattle, sheep, goats and antelopes. They have several unique features: they walk on pads not hoofs, do not have horns or antlers, and their red blood cells are oval in shape. They also have very high red blood cell counts. All the family members have great water efficiency, long necks, two toes, and well-padded feet. Finally, a camel's toes have a web connecting them.

Its mission consists of three interrelated objectives: 1. To programme and execute research; 2. To offer training facilities for PhD candidates in the context of a well-structured framework; 3. To assist in research capacity building in developing countries. The mission of CERES focuses on resource problematics, in which many development problems either find their origin. Resources are not only natural but also human, including capital and knowledge; in fact, CERES' main thrust is the interaction between human and natural resources. Its core research question focuses on the processes and principles underlying perception, access, control and management of those resources in developing countries, and their implications for development. Its problem orientation indicates a multidisciplinary and comparative approach, using a variety of paradigms and a multilevel methodology, ranging from case studies to global surveys.

Extractions: Risk, Ruin, and Luxury in Primitive Societies. U. Ulrich Müller-Herold, Department of Environmental Sciences, ETH Zürich, Switzerland; and R. P. Sieferle, Historisches Institut der Universität, D-68131 Mannheim, Germany Anthropologists of earlier generations have always pictured Stone Age man as living on the brink of starvation. According to this view, his life consisted - as Marvin Harris ironically put it in retrospect - of a continuous battle for survival, "a time of great fear and insecurity, when people spent their days ceaselessly searching for food and their nights huddled about fires in comfortless caves besieged by saber-toothed tigers." This view was seriously undermined when in 1972 the American anthropologist Marshall Sahlins characterised Stone Age society as the "original affluent society." Drawing on field studies, above all on Richard Lee's studies of the bushmen of the Kalahari, Sahlins showed that even in such a hostile environment as that of the Kalahari desert, a life of relative material affluence was possible. People had an adequate, balanced diet, consisting of one-third meat and two-thirds plants, with a high proportion of protein. The women gathered over a hundred different species of roots, nuts and tubers, spending not more than two or three days on the process. They did not build up supplies of food, as sufficient quantities were always available for gathering. The men likewise dedicated two to three days a week to the hunt, pursuing not less than 54 edible species of animal.
