It opened with the Kenya Constitutional Conference in London which decided upon the type of Constitution Kenya would have on its attaining independence. The General Election followed in May with the grant of internal self-government on 1st June 1963. It is significant to note that when Kenya obtained fun internal self-government the Heads of Government of the other two independent East African territories, together with the Prime Minister of Kenya, Jointly pledged their Governments to work for the achievement of an East African Federation. In pursuance of this declaration a Working Party. Consisting of Ministers from each of the three countries, was set up to work out the details of a Constitution for the Federation. Although technically there negotiations are between the three Governments, the East African Common Services Organization has been called upon to offer advice and to facilitate smooth administration of the Working Party's procedureItem The Annual Report of the East African Common Services Organization For 1964(East African Common Services, 1964) East African Common ServicesThe year 1964 saw important political events in East Africa. The army mutinies in January were followed in April by the birth of the United Republic of Tanzania embracing the Republic of Tanganyika and the Peoples' Republic of Zanzibar; the latter having been established in January after a revolution which ousted the Sultan. By virtue of the Union the area of E.A.C.S.O. was extended to Zanzibar in respect of the subjects which had become "Onion" subjects. However, by the end of the year arrangements for the administration of these services had not been finalized.Item The Annual Report of the East African Common Services Organization For 1964(East African Common Services, 1964) East African Common ServicesThe year 1964 saw important political events in East Africa.

By virtue of the Union the area of E.A.C.S.O. was extended to. Zanzibar in respect of the subjects which had beco.me "Union" subjects. However, by the end of the year arrangements for the administration of these services had no.t been finalized.Item The Annual Report of the East African Common Services Organization For 1966(East African Common Services, 1966) East African Common ServicesThe uncertainty for its future was the main concern of the Organization throughout the year. The decision not to publish the Philip Commission Report on East African Co-operation merely increased fears; and the morale of the E.A.C.S.O. employees was, therefore, not unnaturally somewhat adversely affected. Consequently, several of them left the Organization in search of more secure employment with the national Governments or the private sector. It is, however, hoped that this unsettling effect will be removed, when the proposed Treaty, based on the Commission's Report has been signed early in 1967.Item Coffee Research Foundation Kenya Annual Report 1975 /1976(Coffee Board of Kenya, 1975/1976) Coffee Board of KenyaThe Coffee Research Services in Kenya commenced with the appointment of the first Government Entomologist in 1908. A few coffee experimental plots were established at Kabete and Kibos Experimental Farms in 1910-12. The Coffee Research Team gradually increased with the appointment of a Mycologist in 1913 and a Coffee Plant Inspector from Jamaica in 1914.Item Crop Production Annual Report 1978(Ministry of Agriculture, 1978) Ministry of AgricultureItem Crop Virology Research project 1973(Ministry of Agriculture, 1973) Ministry of AgricultureThis final report on seven years of plant Virology research in Kenya is intended for the non-specialist. Formal presentation of the results of the Project's work has been made in the scientific press: Project publications which have already appeared in print are listed in Appendix (i). There are a number of further papers in preparation. When the last of these has been published, the Project's scientific contributions will be bound in a single volume which will constitute the detailed scientific report.Item Droplet Stee for Low and Ultra-Low Volume Aerial Spraying(I C I P E, 1971) Johnstone, D.R.; Foreign and Commonwealth Office, Overseas Development Administration, Tropical Pesticides Research Unit, Porton Down, UKMeteorological data from stations in Malawi adjacent to two cotton-growing regions and a simplified graphical analysis of the sedimentation and wind transport of droplets were used to predict the deposition of low- and ultra-low-volume aerial sprays of various droplet size distributions. A volume median diameter (VMD) of 100 mu m is recommended for ultra-low-volume application of non-systemic insecticides in solvents of low volatility, and one of 200 mu m for aqueous sprays at the conventional rate of 22 litres/ha. The theoretical results are discussed with reference to tests carried out in the 1969-70 Malawi cotton season.Item E.A.A.F.R.O 2nd Quarterly Report 1st April - 30th June 1973(KARI, 1973) KARIThe rate of requests for advice remained at about the sarne level as in the previous quarter. Of the 33 requests from within EAAFRO, the majority were from the Forestry and Animal Production Divisions a~d gostly concerned the analysis of experimental data rat~er than the design of experigents. There were 19 requests of a similar nature from external stations. The University of Nairobi computer continued to be very useful, particularly for analysing the results of seventee large bulrush millet trials ar.d for some long-term experiments at the Tea Research Institute at Kericho, on which up to thirty variables were recorded. For the latter five computer prograwmes were either written or ~odified.Item E.A.A.F.R.O 4th Quarterly Report 1972(KARI, 1972) KARIThe arrival 0 f Dr. K.A. Edwards completed the ODA team on the catchment research project. 1-1r. G.H. Ongl ute was appointed Research Officer in Forest Entomology and Mr. A.M. Mailu was appointed Research Officer (Trainee) in the same Division. With the arrival of Hr. A.R. Sayars; Statistician, at the end of Dccenber, the work of the statistics section will now be revived. Mr. J.F, Osborna proceedad on overseas leave at the end of his contract.Item East African Common Services Organization(East African Common Services, 1961) East African Common ServicesWith Tangantika's achievement of independence on 9th December 1961, the East Africa High Commission, which for fourteen years had administered certain services vital to East Africa on an inter territorial basis, was replaced by the East African Common Services Organization (B.A.C.S.O.).Item East African Common Services Organization Annual Report 1967(East African Common Services, 1967) East African Common ServicesItem East African Industrial Research organization Annual Report For 1965(East African Common Services, 1965/1966) East African Common ServicesShortage of senior staff has again restricted the overall output of research work as was the case in the previous year, but whereas in that year there was a steady decline in numbers, the position in the present year now being reviewed has been a more hopeful one of increasing numbers as recruitment has been implemented. The prospect greatly improved with the arrival of a chemical engineer, Mr. P. Coxon in October 1965 and Dr. A. H. Woodhead, Food Processing Technologist, in May 1966. These two specialists together with the return of Mr. S. M. Githugu from a course in the U.S.A. at the end of the year under review, brought up the number of Research Officers available from four at the start of the year to seven at the end and leaves only one vacancy, which was in fact filled in October 1966 and the full complement of eight research officers was then in post for the first time since the permanent Organization was established in 1955.Item East African Industrial Research Organization Annual Report For the Period(East African Common Services, 1961/1962) East African Common ServicesThe outstanding event of the year under review was the advent of the East African Common Services Organization which superseded the East Africa High Commission on 9th December, 1961. This involved widespread changes in the administration of the services under the control of the new Organization as befitting the new status of the territorial governments. The immediate effect is that responsibility for Industrial Research passes from the Colonial Administrations to the potentially independent African Governments under the auspices of a Ministerial Committee consisting of Ministers from each of the three Territories. This change in the employing authority has naturally radically affected the situation of the staff, bringing serious implications as to their future. but as is mentioned below. during the year there was a net loss of only one research officer. Thus, although administrative reorganization at a higher level has been involved, the function of this Organization itself remains unaltered and the research and advisory services will continue to be provided as in the past, within the limitations of staff availability.Item East African Industrial Research Organization Annual Report For The Period 1st July 1966 - 30th June 1967(East African Industrial Research Organization, 1966/1967) East African Industrial Research OrganizationOver a period of some years a standing committee of he Economic Commission for Africa bas considered how best to initiate and expand industrial research in Africa so as to afford increased aid to 1lhe establishment of new industries and greater technical assistance to existing Industry thus ,to further the aims of accelerating industrial development Which is of such vital concern to die African countries. A study made by a consultants from ,the United Nations Centre for Industrial Development proposed ,that the country should be divided into a number of sUb;-egioos of which one would comprise Burundi, Ethiopia, Kenya, Malagasy, Malawi, Mauritius, Rwanda, Somalia, Tanzania, Uganda and Zambia.Item East African Trypanosomiasis Institute Annual Report 1970(Kenya Trypanosomiasis Research Institute, 1970) East African Trypanomiasis Research OrganizationDuring the year under review EATRO continued to conduct research based upon the biennial programme approved by the Specialist Committee for Trypanosomiasis Research in November, 1967. A new quinquennial research programme was submitted to the Working Party on Research Priorities and Administration, but their recommendations have not yet been implemented. The research is broadly based in the fields of Entomology, Protozoology, Biochemistry, Immunology and Medical and Veterinary studies. This type of programme has been pursued since 1958.Item East African Trypanosomiasis Research Organization Annual Report 1955-56(Annual Report. East African Trypanosomiasis Research Organization, 1955-56) East African Trypanosomiasis Research OrganizationThis report is for the 1965 calendar year. In general, the year was full of activity and, having been fairly productive, could be adequately described as successful. There was a remarkable improvement in the staffing position and the remaining vacancy was that reserved for a Trainee undergoing postgraduate studies overseas. An African Veterinary graduate and one expatriate Research Officer were recruited during the year. An Entomologist working for the F.A.O. in Uganda was seconded to E.A.T.R.O. early in the year for a period of about two years. He does not, however, fill any of the established Research Officer posts but undertakes investigation within the E.A.T.R.O. Programme. It is gratifying to report that a number of applications for the posts of Research Officer were received during the year from both Overseas and East Africa. Although it was not possible to offer employment to all, the number of applications was an encouraging sign indicating the increasing awareness of many graduates of the existing facilities for scientific work in E.A.C.S.O. Research Organizations. The improvement in the Research Staff position resulted in a high level of research activity and consequently it was necessary to request additional financial assistance from other sources for the purchase of the requisite as well as up-to-date capital scientific equipment to cope with this increase.Item East African Trypanosomiasis Research Organization. Tororo, Uganda. Report 1966(Kenya Trypanosomiasis Research Institute, 1966) East African Trypanomiasis Research Organization; E.A.T.R.O.In the last Annual Report, reference was made to the appreciable increase in research activities during 1965, in comparison with the previous few years, because of the more favourable staff position. The level of research activities continued to show an upward trend during 1966. The increase in output during 1966 was also partly due to the contributions by visiting workers, including the University of Edinburgh Veterinary Expedition which spent three months in East Africa working from a base at E.A.T.R.O.Item Institute for development University of Nairobi Administration in Mbere portrait of a rural Kenyan Division(Kenya Soil Survey, 1971) Kenya Soil SurveyThe basic questions this paper attempts to answer are, precisely what is the Kenyan Government dOing in one particular rural locale? What administrative and manpower inputs are being expended in Mbere division of Embu District, in Eastern Province?rhese prime questions can be broken down into many component parts. What officials are in the division? What do they dOj that is, how do they spend their time? Why do they allocate their time the way they do? Are their patterns of activity productive or effective in a developmental sense? How does official behavior contrast with or match the implied and stated goals oi,the various Government organizations involved in Mbere?
