3 106 ESTER FRIC COUTRIES D RELIEF DECETRLISTIO eographically, Eastern frica is famous for its contrasting areas of highland and rift valley. It is home to frica s two highest mountains; Mount Kilimanjaro and Mount Kenya, and frica s largest lake; Victoria. Eastern frica is composed of 11 countries; most are members of the Intergovernmental uthority on Development (IGD). The seven countries that make up the ile Basin are also members of the ile Basin Initiative. There are four forms of decentralisation: Devolution: The complete transfer of authority from the central government to the local government and community. Delegation: n assignment of certain functions by the local government to its agencies or statutory authority and the local government. Deconcentration: Dispersal of central authority to its representative office at regional and local government levels. Privatisation: Divesture of certain specific functions from government to private sector.

In Eastern frica there are two rift valleys the eastern and western rifts.

The average width is 50 km, but is wider in some places. It is believed that the East frican Rift Valley was formed as a result of tensional and compressional forces brought about by the movement of continental plates. Volcanic eruptions along the rift valley have further complicated the landscape features associated with it. The East frican Rift Valley still remains unstable, with some active cones like Lengai in Tanzania. Luangwa Lúrio 106_107.indd /11/ :04

There is also the semi-desert and desert vegetation in Ethiopia, Somalia, South Sudan and Eastern parts of Kenya. atural vegetation is dwindling as a result of destruction caused by human activities. 50 E MP KEY T he vegetation of Eastern frica is closely related to the climate. It is a product of a combination of factors such as relief and altitude. Major vegetation types in Eastern frica include: evergreen forests (confined to a few areas in the Southern Sudan and Victoria basin) the Savanna grassland (found in most low-altitude Vegetation desert & desert steppe tropical wooded steppe tropical dry savanna 0 0 The baobab tree is able to store water in its vast trunk for up to nine months, which enables it to survive in areas of dry scrubland such as this. map key continued... tropical savanna woodland forest savanna mosaic tropical rain forest undifferentiated montane montane and warm temperate grassland afro-alpine and alpine thickets mangrove swamp naturally irrigated areas swamp Scale 1: (projection: Lambert zimuthal ual rea) 0 km E Tropical savanna in the Serengeti, Tanzania 110_111.indd E High-altitude rainforest in Rwanda 20/11/ :27

6 ESTER FRIC 111 SOILS Eastern frica has many types of soils, each with its specific characteristics that are related to climate, vegetation, the nature of the slopes and the underlying rocks and time. The specific soils are referred to as zonal soils. Eamples include the lateritic soils found in many parts, and desert soils mainly found in Ethiopia, Sudan, north east Kenya and Somalia. Other soils include peat soils which are found in poorly drained areas, alluvial soils, found along river valleys and terra rossa soils found in limestone areas of Eastern frica. 40 E 50 E 60 E Scale 1: (projection: Lambert zimuthal ual rea) 0 km 500 skeletal soils soils formed on volcanic ash saline soils MP KEY Soils leached and highly leached red soils iron rich red soils of savanna areas rich brown soils of tropical areas tropical black earths brown soils of arid and semi-arid areas poorly developed sub-desert soils sand and rock debris of desert areas shallow highly calcareous soils recent alluvium 40 E 50 E 60 E GEOLOGY Eastern frica has rocks that are more than 3000 million years old. These rocks were formed mainly during Pre-Cambrian, Mesozoic and Quaternary periods. Tectonic and volcanic movements that followed led to the formation of the igneous and volcanic rocks that characterise most of the Eastern frica region. Sedimentary rocks have covered most of the original rocks as a result of soil erosion. Lateritic soils usually have a distinctive red colour.

7 114 ESTER FRIC POPULTIO The population of Eastern frica is dense in Ethiopia, Tanzania, Kenya, Uganda and Somalia. There are increasing numbers of refugees and internally displaced people. Civil wars in Rwanda, Burundi and Somalia have resulted in refugees in the neighbouring countries. Refugees are concentrated in a number of camps in the region. The popular refugee camp is Dadaab in northern Kenya, which accommodates thousands of Somali refugees. Political and ethnic violence has also led to internally displaced persons.
