Abstract

In Kenya, there is a need to evaluate regional monitoring networks for environmental management. A randomized field trial was conducted across different regions in Kenya. A sample size of 100 sites was selected using stratified random sampling, ensuring representation from various ecosystems and administrative divisions. The analysis revealed a significant difference (p < 0.05) in adoption rates between urban and rural areas, with an average adoption rate of 72% across all regions. Randomized field trials provide robust evidence for understanding the effectiveness of regional monitoring networks in Kenya. Based on findings, targeted interventions are recommended to increase network adoption among underserved regions. The empirical specification follows $Y=\beta_0+\beta^\top X+\varepsilon$, and inference is reported with uncertainty-aware statistical criteria.
