Summary

This document details an Environmental and Social Impact Assessment for the proposed Anyiko-Ujwanga-Kathieno Irrigation Project in Siaya County, Kenya. The project aims to address significant water scarcity, where monthly evapo-transpiration often exceeds rainfall, leading to frequent crop failures and animal deaths due to drought. The approach involves constructing an intake on River Nzoia and a network of canals to bring water to nineteen villages for agricultural purposes. The project is currently in the planning and approval stage, seeking licensing from the National Environmental Management Authority (NEMA) based on this ESIA report.
