IntroductionIntroduction
Kenya economy is heavily dependent onits natural resource base of upto 30
percent of GDP.These includes:- Agriculture Fisheries Energy Water resources, wetlands & marines

Enhanced economic growth

State of our natural resource and
environment is altered

Reasons for natural resource depletionand environment degradation include:
-Growth in population-Economic factor
There is need to understand the linkbetween environment and economy

Kenyas forest stocks generate a widerange of timber and non timber productsand services directly and indirectlybenefiting the population
However, the apparent depletion of somenatural resources has shifted the countryfocus towards sustainable development

Statement of problemStatement of problemNational income accounting is very importantboth as an analytical and policy formulation tool.
On the other hand, information generated fromthe current national accounts misleads resourceand environmental policies, causingunderinvestment and mismanagement, which
endanger sustainable development.

This captured data also do not contain acomprehensive valuation of the manynatural resource-based non-marketactivities, for example collection of woodfor household fuel in communal areas.

The major objective of natural resourceand environmental accounting is todevelop a system of accounts that can
appropriately reflect more, if not allchanges in uses, roles, and capacities of natural resources and the environment interms of their possible effect onsustainable development.

Study is to establish the value of forestresources in Kenya.

Specifically the study will:-
To construct the physical resource accounts toaccess the stock, flow and use of the physicalforest assets in the country.
Construct monetary account for the assetaccount to establish values for the various entriesof the physical account.
Provide information on improved measures of economic performance and indicators of sustainable development to improve the designof long term development planning strategies andpolicy formulation.

Significance of the studySignificance of the study
Will enhance an appreciation of the needto improve SNA by incorporating naturalresource degradation and depletionthrough coming up with the framework for the natural resource accounting in theforestry sector

B ackground of forests in KenyaB ackground of forests in KenyaForests rank high among the Kenyas importantresources.Closed canopy forests were estimated by theKenya Indigenous Forest Conservationprogramme (KIFCON) of 1991-1994 to cover 1.24 million hectares (2.1 per cent of the totalland area).Recent estimates by U NEP indicate that againsta global forest cover of 21.43 per cent and anaverage for Africa of 9.25 per cent, Kenyasclosed forest cover stands at a critical 1.7 per cent

Contribution of forests to theContribution of forests to theNational EconomyNational Economy
Forest products and services contribute about11.0 billion shillings to the economy.
Employ 50,000 people directly and another 30,000 indirectly
Contributes about 1.3 percent of the GDP in themonetary sector and 13 percent in the non-
monetary sector ( Emerton and Karanja 2001)

Direct use values in terms of timber,fuelwood and polewood are estimated atabout KShs 3.64 billion where timber alone accounts for 75 per cent of thevalue.

It is estimated that 40 percent of largemammals, 30 percent of birds and 35 per cent of butterflies found in Kenya occur inforests ( W ass ( 1995) )
Forests in Kenya are important particularlythrough their linkage with agriculture andtourism, which are the mainstay of nationaleconomy.

Theoretical frameworkTheoretical framework
The idea of adjusting the system of nationalaccounts to incorporate the losses due to theuse of natural resources is closely related to the
concept of sustainability as an indicator of sustainable development.If some capital is used up and not replaced, the
possibilities of future production is decreased asis the case with natural capital which cannot becreated by mankind.
-
8/6/2019 Kenya Proposal

Economic theory gives two differentapproaches that looks at how much of thenatural capital productive base can beused sustainably. These are:-
-Hartwick Rule
-Weizman (1976) on NDP

Hartwick ruleHartwick rule
He showed that so long as the capitalstock of an economy did not decline over time, then non-declining consumption waspossible.
-
8/6/2019 Kenya Proposal
29/49
Then net investment is given by
Net investment is greater than or equal tozero, the country can at least sustain itsactual consumption level
Therefore if a country produces a non-renewable resource, non-declining
consumption is possible by reinvesting allHotellings rents from the exhaustibleresources in physical capital

Assumptions Assumptions
Close substitution between the physicalcapital and the natural capital.
The model assumes that an individual onlyderives utility from the consumption of goods and not directly from theenvironment.

Weitzman (1976) approachWeitzman (1976) approach
We define NDP for an economy with balancedtrade as,
Weitzman proved that (NNP) in any year t isgiven by:
NNP ( t) = W( t)
N t t t I C NDP !

He argued that a true measure of NDPshould include the value of changes inresource stocks.
The net investment should be definedtaking into account the depreciation in alltypes of capital.

Huge data requirements, which is missingin developing countries.
Environmental accounting needs a morelocalized approach.Valuation of natural assets is also aproblem as many methods exist with noperfect one.
