Various countries in Africa, Asia, and the Caribbean were left underdeveloped as a result of British colonial rule. The extraction of resources, imposition of boundaries, and introduction of economic structures that favored British interests all contributed to the underdevelopment of these regions. Examples include India, Nigeria, Jamaica, and Kenya.
Geography plays a crucial role in Kenya's national development by influencing resource distribution, agricultural potential, and infrastructure planning. The country's diverse landscapes, including fertile highlands and arid regions, determine agricultural productivity and food security. Additionally, Kenya's strategic location along major trade routes and its coastline facilitate trade and economic growth. Effective management of these geographical factors is essential for sustainable development and addressing regional disparities.
The poorest parts of Kenya are generally the arid and semi-arid regions in the north and northeast, such as Turkana, Marsabit, and Wajir counties. These areas face challenges such as drought, limited access to resources, and underdeveloped infrastructure, which contribute to high levels of poverty among the population.
Most electricity in Kenya comes from petroleum fuels, most of which is imported. There are three geothermal power stations in Kenya, at Olkaria, in the Great Rift Valley, (45 MW, 70MW and 48 MW). A fourth plant is planned which means that 25% of Kenya's energy will be renewable by 2017. Olkaria has a potential for 2000MW generation.
