• W3208175737 abstract "Kenya has been faced with a number of challenges like hunger, drought, unpredictable rain patterns which has led to the country’s desire to reduce its reliance on hydro energy and develop more sustainable energy solutions. This gave birth to projects like the Turkana Wind Energy Project that aims at addressing the issue of climate change globally, increasing grid connected power in Kenya while at the improving the social economic status of the local community. The Project has already started the generation of power to the national grid, with 25MW generated in 2018. The Project has been said to have several positive impacts on the local communities, including creation of jobs, improvement of local infrastructure, low cost of energy and cultural integration. However, despite the fact that this ambitious project has been said to have a number of benefits to the locals, it has been associated with a number of negative effects to both the local community and the general ecosystem; calling for an in-depth examination into this area of study. This study therefore was carried out with the aim of examining the influence wind energy projects on the livelihood of marginalized communities in Kenya; A case of Lake Turkana wind energy. In this research study, a cross sectional research design was adopted where variable online data from a number of digital repositories published by NEMA, UNDP, UNEP, KNBS, Kenya - d-portal, open data Kenya, afrobarometer, uon digital repository, KIPM among others. This is a method used to narrow down a very wider field of research into an easily researchable topic. This design was suitable to be used because of the large area of interest of the study (Turkana County). The sampled considered online results from 20 (listed in appendix i) sites were analyzed and reported in a descriptive manner that just gave the measures of central tendencies by use of percentages in a descriptive statistical manner. Based on the analyzed results, majority of the respondents in all the reviewed reliable data indicated that displacement caused by the Lake Turkana Wind Project (LTWP) influences the livelihood of the Turkana community in Turkana County as summed up by 87% score of analyzed informed. On average, 79% of the respondents indicated that biophysical environment has been affected by the LTWP and has entirely influenced the lifestyles of the Turkana people. For example, in its construction periods, majority of the locals (88%) argued that it accelerated soils erosion, 89% said it led to loss of ecology, 90% today argue that the projects has led to increase noise and vibrations, decreased air and water quality (86%), and has affected their eyesight of the various people in the county (69%). Majority of the locals have a strong agreement that the project has influenced the education sector in the county with and evident funded university besides other technical colleges and secondary schools. On another occasion, majority of the respondents 78% supported the idea that the wind project has been created by the creation of employment for thelocals which has improved their living standards. Finally, a number of the respondents supported the idea that the wind project has led to a number of health related complications for the locals (55%)." @default.
