Key Facts

Nyando is a sub-county located in Kisumu County, western Kenya, positioned along the eastern shores of Lake Victoria. Situated approximately 30 kilometers southeast of Kisumu City, Nyando occupies a strategic location in the lower Nyando River basin, characterized by flat plains and seasonal wetlands that transition into the Lake Victoria shoreline. The sub-county covers an area of approximately 1,160 square kilometers and serves as an important agricultural and fishing hub within the larger Kisumu County region. Administratively, Nyando is divided into several wards including East Kano/Wawidhi, Awasi/Onjiko, Ahero, Kabonyo/Kanyagwal, and Kobura, each contributing to the sub-county's diverse economic and social fabric. The area experiences a tropical climate with bimodal rainfall patterns, supporting both rain-fed and irrigation-based agriculture, particularly rice farming in the Ahero irrigation scheme. With an estimated population of over 160,000 people according to recent census data, Nyando represents one of the more densely populated rural sub-counties in the region. The sub-county's proximity to Lake Victoria and the Nyando River system makes it both agriculturally productive and occasionally vulnerable to seasonal flooding.
