Foreword

Kenyans from all walks overwhelmingly support a devolved system of government. In it they see an opportunity to determine, pursue and achieve the highest levels of development. The duty towards that end in Meru County has been committed to the Governor and his government. This is a duty that calls for the highest sense of devotion and commitment of which I will lead. As required by the constitution and related laws on devolution, the Meru County Government has prepared this five year County Integrated Development Plan (CIDP), 2013-2017.

The process of developing the CIDP has been fully participatory from the grassroots. I wish to thank all those who have played a part in the same. The process has been ably led by the County Executive Committee Member for Lands, Economic and Physical Planning, Dr. Joshua Mugam-bi, with the support of Chief Officer, Martin Gikunda and the technical team. We are grateful for the generous support we have received for USAID-Kenya Transition Initiative led by Mary Kagunyi.

The County has the vision of A United Prosperous Green Model County. Thus our mission is to facilitate sustainable development and wealth creation in the County through commerce, technological innovations and industrialization that leverages on our skilled human resources, agriculture, wildlife, bio-diversity and cultural heritage. In so doing the Governor shall lead the county in upholding values of Integrity, Team work, Inclusiveness, Innovativeness, Hardwork, Transparency and Accountability.

To achieve the said vision the County has prioritized key sectors including Governance and Pub-lic Administration; Information and Communication Technology (ICT); Justice, Cohesion and Security for Development; Disaster Preparedness and Management; Planning; Health; Social Protection, Culture and Recreation; Infrastructure; Financial Services, Trade, Co-Operatives and Enterprise Development ; Industrialization ; Land; Agriculture; and Tourism. These have been identified as key to moving all aspects of our county forward.

The CIDP provides the County with a legally bound working framework that will guide all pro-grammes in the county. It binds both state and non state actors working in the county so as to en-sure that we move with a singularity of purpose. It has been developed in a participatory manner and it’s our commitment to ensure that its implementation is equally participatory. The County is open to innovative ideas of how best to deliver on the commitments herein.

Let us all come together and see to it that we play our role in achieving the Meru we desire. This we do for posterity.

H.E. Peter Munya,

Governor, Meru County

Executive Summary

The Constitution of Kenya 2010 created a two-tier system of governance, a national and a de-volved county government that requires a paradigm shift in development planning. In the case of planning, the two levels of government are required to work very closely to ensure coherence of policy and promote the Kenya Vision 2030 aspiration of making Kenya a globally competitive and prosperous Nation, with a high quality of life for all citizens by the year 2030. In the Con-stitution 2010, Article 220(2) (a) states that “national legislation shall prescribe the structure of development plans and budgets”. In June 2013, the Ministry of Devolution and Planning issued Guidelines for Preparation of County Integrated Development Plans. As stipulated in the Con-stitution, Integrated Development Planning will govern the preparation of national annual bud-gets and those of the counties and that no public funds will be appropriated without a planning framework as stipulated in the County Government Act. In addition, all planning is expected to be aligned to the second Medium Term Plan of Kenya Vision 2030.

Based on the law and guidelines available, the Meru County planners prepared this 5-year In-tegrated County Development Plan and the annual projections of budgets to implement them. Integrated development planning is defined as “a process through which efforts at national and devolved levels of government and other relevant public institutions are coordinated at local lev-el, and through which economic, social, environmental, legal and spatial aspects of development are brought together to produce a plan that meets the need and targets set for the benefit of local communities”. The CIDP will have the goal of promoting harmony with national and other coun-ty plans, land-use plans, urban planning and environmental conservation. This CIDP, 2013 -2017 aligns both the fundamental changes in the dynamic operating environment and the thinking of the Government at Macro-level. This plan is further informed by The County Government Act, 2012, section 104 (1), which states that, “a county Government shall plan for the county and no public funds shall be appropriated without a planning framework developed by the county exec-utive committee and approved by the county assembly”. It also states that the county planning framework shall integrate economic, physical, social, environmental and spatial planning.

In addition to CIDP, each county is expected to develop 10 year Sectoral Plans in respect for each sector; County Spatial Plan; and City and Urban Areas Plans. County Integrated Development Plan document and the other county plans provide the roadmap, framework and action plans that the County Government will implement within the next 5-10 years. The plans articulate the County’s operations and outlines measures to be implemented to achieve the set objectives. These county plans (section 107(2)) “shall be the basis for all the budgeting and planning in a county”.

This CIDP comprises eight chapters. Chapter one is the county general information on the so-cio-economic and infrastructural information that has a bearing on the development of the coun-ty. Chapter two is the situation analysis looking at both the macro-environmental factors that af-fect many sectors within the county and the micro-environmental factors that specifically affect the various sectors. The analysis is given by use of two main tools, which are SWOT and PES-TEL analysis. Chapter three is the spatial planning and chapter four links CIDP with other plans. Chapter five shows the institutional framework which is the formal system of task and authority relationships that control how the county will coordinate her actions and use resources to achieve county goals. Chapter six is on the development priority programmes and projects based on broad



sectors. Chapter seven elaborates on the execution of this plan that requires the commitment of human and financial resources through resource mobilization; the plan aims to achieve adequate, more predictable and sustainable resourcing that fully supports the achievement of the County Government objectives. Finally, the implementation, monitoring and evaluation framework that will assist to implement and track progress on implementation of projects and programmes at the county level

In order to achieve the set objective (s), programmes/ projects and strategies are formulated and the expected outputs are noted. Various activities, in tandem with the programmes/ projects, are stipulated and the cost estimates & sources of funds identified. The approximated budget for the full implementation of this plan amounts to KShs. 252,589.829 Million over the five year period. The highest expenditure is expected in 2015/2016.

Monitoring and evaluation will ensure that there will be consistent tracking of progress during the implementation of the CIDP, 2013-2017. The progress made will be measured against the targets. Monitoring will ensure that there will be continuous check while evaluation will be con-ducted on episodic bases. Public Participation is expected in all the above processes.



CHAPTER ONE

COUNTY GENERAL INFORMATION

1.1 Introduction

This chapter presents the socio-economic and infrastructural background information that has a bearing on the development of the county. The chapter also provides a description of the county in terms of the location, size, physiographic and natural conditions, demographic profiles as well as the administrative and political units. In addition, it provides information on infrastructure and access; land and land use; community organizations/non-state actors; crop, livestock and fish production; forestry, environment and climate change; mining; tourism; employment and other sources of income; water and sanitation; health access and nutrition, education and liter-acy, trade, energy, housing, transport and communication, community development and Social Welfare.

1.1.1 Position and Size

The county lies to the east of Mt. Kenya whose peak cuts through the southern boundary of the county (see Figure 1 and 2). It shares borders with Laikipia County to the west, Nyeri to the south west, Tharaka/Nithi to the east and Isiolo to the North. It straddles the equator lying within 00 6’ North and about 00 1’ South, and latitudes 370 West and 380 East. The county has a total area of 6,936.2 km2 out of which 1,776.1 Km2 is gazetted forest.

1.2 Physiographic and Natural Conditions

1.2.1 Physical and Topographic Features

The county’s position on the eastern slopes of Mt Kenya and the equator has highly influenced its natural conditions. Altitude ranges from 300m to 5,199m above sea level. This has influenced the atmospheric conditions leading to a wide variety of microclimates and agro-ecological zones.

The drainage pattern in the county is characterized by rivers and streams originating from catch-ment areas such as Mt. Kenya and Nyambene ranges in the North. The rivers cut through the hilly terrain on the upper zones to the lower zones and drain into the Tana and UasoNyiro Rivers. The rivers form the main source of water for both domestic and agricultural use.



1.2.2 Ecological Conditions

The county has varied ecological zones ranging from upper highlands, lower highlands, upper midlands and lower midlands. This has greatly influenced the major economic activities. The upper highlands zones covers majority of the county’s area ranging from Imenti South, Imenti Central, Imenti North, Tigania East, Tigania West, Igembe North, Igembe Central and Igembe South constituencies. The lower midland zones are only found in lower parts of Buuri and Tiga-nia which borders Isiolo County.

1.2.3 Climatic Conditions

The county receives moderate amounts of rainfall except for the lower parts of Buuri area bor-dering Isiolo County which are arid. The distribution of rainfall ranges from 300mm per annum in the lower midlands in the North to 2500mm per annum in the South East. Other areas receive on average 1250mm of rainfall annually. There are two seasons with the long rains occurring from mid-March to May and short rains from October to December. Temperatures range from a low of 8oC to a high of 32oC during the cold and hot seasons respectively.

1.3 Administrative and Political Units

The county comprises of nine administrative sub-counties which are equivalent to the constitu-encies namely, Tigania East, Tigania West, Igembe North, Igembe South, North Imenti, South Imenti, Buuri, Igembe Central and Central Imenti. Their corresponding wards are as shown in Table 2. Formerly the administrative units that fall under the boundaries of Meru County are as shown in Table 1.

1.3.1 Former Administrative Subdivisions (Districts, Divisions and Locations)

The county formerly comprised of eight administrative districts, 28 divisions, 133 locations and 351 sub-locations as shown in Table 1.

Igembe South district has the largest land area while Tigania East has the smallest as shown in Table 1. Although Buuri was the second largest district, it had only two divisions. These units are under review in the transition to the new units of service delivery. 1.3.2 Political Representation Units

The county comprises of nine parliamentary constituencies and 45 electoral wards. The nine par-liamentary constituencies are North Imenti, Tigania East, Tigania West, Igembe North, Igembe South, Igembe Central, South Imenti, Buuri and Central Imenti, as indicated in Table 7.

1.3.3 Eligible and Registered Voters by Constituency

The total number of eligible voters in the county was estimated to be 672,984 in 2012 while the number of registered voters stood at 489,515 as at December 2012 as shown in Table 3 below.

Source: Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission. (IEBC) 2012*

NB: The eligible voting population has been projected from 2009 census to 2012.



South Imenti constituency has the highest number of registered voters in the county comprising 16.4 per cent while Igembe North has the least constituting 8.9 per cent of the total registered voters. This shows that there is a sizeable percentage of the population that is unregistered, hence the need for more civic education on voter registration in the future and issuance of identity cards.

1.4 Demographic Features

1.4.1 Population size and Composition

The county has a population growth rate of 2.1 per cent. The 2012 projected population of the county stood at 1,443,555, which consist of 713,801 males and 729,754 females as shown in Ta-ble 4 below. The county population is projected to be 1,536,422 in 2015 and 1,601,629 in 2017. The growth in population will strain the available resources such as land.

Under 1 year: In this age cohort, there were 41,279 children in 2012, an increase of 6.4 per cent from 2009 census. This population is projected to be 45,800 children by 2017. This accounts for approximately 3 per cent of the total population. The increase in the population under the age of one is attributed to decline in infant mortality rate due to immunization programs that have been scaled up by the health sectors in the county. There is also increase in the number of mothers delivering in health care facilities. There is need to train more health care professionals so as to reduce the ratio of health care workers to population and improve delivery services.

Under 5 years: The projected number of persons under five years of age in the county stood at 191,732 in 2012, this being a 6.4 per cent increase from the 2009 population census. This popula-tion consists of 95,010 females and 96,722 males and constitutes 14 per cent of total population. It is projected to increase to 204,067 and 212,727 by the year 2015 and 2017 respectively. This increase in population calls for more efforts in providing additional facilities in pre-schools and primary schools, consistent with government policies to provide free universal primary educa-tion. As this population is also vulnerable to diseases, response strategies call for measures to upscale immunization programmes. To curb cases of malnutrition and stunting, strategies aimed at improving nutritional status should also be encouraged

Primary School Age Group (6-13 Years): The population of primary school going age was projected to be at 298,025 in 2012. This is projected to increase to 317,197 in 2015 and 330,659 in the year 2017. Currently this group accounts for approximately 21 per cent of the total pop-ulation. Appropriate measures need to be put in place to provide necessary facilities such as teaching and learning materials. Physical facilities and teachers to cater for the needs of this age



group need to be put in place to address the current challenge and the projected growth in this age group.

Secondary School Age Group (14-17 Years): The population of the secondary school age chil-dren stood at 122,283 in 2012, an increase of 6.4 per cent from 114,892 in 2009 census. This population is expected to increase further to 130,150 and 135,674 in 2015 and 2017 respective-ly. This comprises approximately 8.5 per cent of the total population. The current free primary school education coupled with the subsidized secondary education policies by the government are expected to yield a high transition rate. There is therefore an increasing pressure to expand the secondary school facilities while improving the existing ones in order to achieve high quality education.

Youth Population (15-29 Years): This population stood at 406,373 in 2012, an increase of 6.4 per cent from 2009 census figure of 381,810. It is projected to rise to 432,516 and 450,872 by 2015 and 2017 respectively. This population is mainly persons of secondary school going age and those in tertiary institutions such as universities and other middle level colleges. It is a pop-ulation that policies on education and employment need to target if efforts to address unemploy-ment and associated insecurity are to be effective. Policies on population control could also be more effective if this group was well targeted since it constitutes the bulky of the reproductive age population.

Reproductive Age Group (15-49 Years): Women aged between 15 and 49 years represent the reproductive age. In 2012, this population stood at 358,127, a 6.4 per cent increase from 336,480 according to 2009 population census. The age group is projected to be 381,166 and 397.393 in 2015 and 2017 respectively. The current projection accounts for 24.8 per cent of the total county population. This calls for increase in family planning, nutrition and health access programmes for the women and projects that support women to be self-reliant. Programmes that enhance women health and health education are essential to reduce both maternal and child mortalities. Policies that encourage women to deliver in health care facilities as well as attending pre-natal and post-natal clinics could go a long way in achieving this objective.

Labour Force Age Group (15-64 Years): The 2012 labour force was projected to be 807,804 persons. It is projected that this population will rise to 859,771 in 2015 and 896,261 by 2017. This calls for improvement in agriculture and investment in other sectors to provide employment opportunities for the increasing labour force especially the youthful population who accounts for 68 per cent of the total population.

Aged population (65+): The aged population (over 65 years) was projected to be 63,068 in 2012, an increase of 6.4 per cent from the 2009 census figure. It is further projected to be 67,125 by 2015 and 69,974 by 2017. This population currently accounts for 4 per cent of the total county population. This calls for increment in allocation of funds to programs that target the aged such as the voucher system to minimise dependency. Such programs should be designed to incorpo-rate healthcare and nutritional support.Urban Population

The main urban centres in the county are Meru, Maua, Nkubu and Muthara. The projected 2012 urban population stood at 118,707, which was 8.5 per cent of total county population as shown in Table 6.

Source: KNBS, 2009 Census

The urban population consists of 60,634 males and 61,799 females with approximately 60 per cent of the total urban population residing in Meru Town. The rise of urban population from 115,033 in 2009 to the projected figure of 135,840 in 2017 is expected to strain the available urban resources. This calls for prior planning of available resources and expansion of social and economic facilities in the urban areas to accommodate the expanding population. The growth in population within the urban centres will expand central markets for agricultural and industrial products within these centres that call for investment in the agricultural value chain to tap this potential. Creation of income generating opportunities, sensitizing the population against drug and substance abuse will also help check the crime rate which is usually high in urban areas.

1.4.2 Population Density and Distribution

The population density is widely distributed among the nine constituencies, with the average density in the county being 282 persons per Km2 in 2012 as shown in Table 7. Population density ranges from a low of 134 in Buuri constituency to a high of 544 in Igembe South constituency. The high density in Igembe south is attributed to high fertile land which is good for farming whereas most areas of Buuri constituency are sparsely populated due to the semi-arid conditions and existence of large scale farms.

Igembe Central Constituency has the highest population as per the 2012 projection of 205,833 persons followed by Imenti South Constituency with 191,158 persons. Settlement patterns in the county are influenced by soil fertility, topography, road networks, urbanisation and rainfall. The high density settlement is concentrated around Nkubu, Maua, Timau and Meru towns. This is because of the good road networks especially the Embu-Meru –Maua Road and Meru-Nanyuki Road.

Table 8 shows that the population distribution by gender is evenly distributed with the ratio of male to female being almost 1:1 in all constituencies.

1.5 Human Development Indicators

The Human Development Indicators, commonly measured by the Human Development Index (HDI) is a composite measure that incorporates mostly indicators derived from social sectors like life expectancy, years of schooling, access to water and the general standard of living in the region or country. To ensure that a county is able to assess its HDI status vis-a-vis other counties, data on the various key indicators will be collected in each county and analysed for comparison with other counties for specific periods and over time to determine the trends. The HDI mean score index for Meru region in 2011 was approximately 0.5622 compared to Nairobi’s 0.6533 and national score 0.505. The worst performing region, Mandera scored 0.3592. The HDI for Meru region thus ranks above the national score, meaning that Meru region contributes positive-ly towards the overall national score.

1.6 Infrastructure and Access

The county infrastructure comprises of road network, airstrips, electricity, telecommunication, financial institutions, education facilities, health facilities, markets and housing.

1.6.1 Road Network, Airports and Airstrips

The county is well served with road network with majority of areas being accessible during the dry season. The county has 1,259.9 km of road network of which 225.7km is bitumen, 266.7 km gravel and 767.5 km of earth surface. However during the rainy seasons, some sections of



gravel and earth surface roads are impassable. The major tarmac roads in the county includes: Embu-Meru –Maua; Meru – Nanyuki; Meru – Mikinduri; Meru- Githongo; and Meru-Ruiri –Isiolo roads. The county is served by one airstrip; Gaitu airstrip in Meru Central which has been improved to serve more flights.

Figure 3: A Section of Meru –Maua Road

1.6.2 PostsandTelecommunications:PostOffices,MobileTelephony,andFixedLinesThere are six post offices and four sub-post offices with numerous registered stamp vendors in the county. The six post offices are in Meru, Maua, Nkubu, Timau, Muthara and Laare towns which offer mail services and parcel delivery among other services. Most private and public organisations have embraced ICT in the day to day operations. Private entrepreneurs have con-tinued to set up cyber cafes in major towns and trading centres due to high demand for internet services among others. Most of the areas in the county are covered by mobile phone network with the coverage being 95 per cent. Areas without mobile network coverage are mainly areas of Tigania bordering Isiolo. Most of the community members rely on radio, Television and Newspapers as the major sources of information.

1.6.3 Financial Institutions: Banks, SACCOs and Micro Finance Institutions

The county has high agricultural potential which has attracted various commercial banks and other financial institutions. There are sixteen commercial banks, eight microfinance institutions, four village banks and a number of SACCOs. The strong presence of the various financial institu-tions indicates that the county has high potential for commercial services. The major commercial banks include Kenya Commercial Bank, National Bank of Kenya, Barclays Bank, Equity Bank, Cooperative Bank, Standard Chartered Bank, Consolidated Bank, Bank of Baroda, Commercial Bank of Africa, Bank of Africa, ABC Bank, CFC Stanbic Bank, ECO Bank, Family Bank, NIC Bank, K-Rep Bank and Guaranty Trust Bank. The various micro-finance institutions provide credit facilities to the small-scale enterprises. These include Small and Medium Enterprises Pro-gram (SMEP), Kenya Women Finance Trust (KWFT), Faulu Kenya among others. The Central Bank of Kenya has a currency centre in Meru town which acts as a banker to the commercial banks operating in the county.



Major insurance firms operating in the county includes APA Insurance, UAP Insurance, BRI-TAM Insurance, and CIC Insurance among others. There are several SACCOs whose mem-bership range from farmers to salaried employees such as YETU Sacco, Meru farmers Sacco, Meru Teachers Sacco among other which offer credit to its members.

1.6.4 Education Institutions: Primary/Secondary Schools, Polytechnics, Colleges, Uni-versities

There are 792 Early Childhood Development Centres (ECD), 647 primary schools and 192 sec-ondary schools. The county has 15 education divisions and zones. The introduction of Constitu-ency Development Fund has enabled the construction of various mixed day secondary schools. The fully fledged universities in the County are: Meru University of Science and Technolo-gy (MUST) and Kenya Methodist University (KEMU). Other universities with campuses in the County are: University of Nairobi (UoN), Co-operative University of Kenya, Africa Naza-rene University (ANU), Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology (JKUAT)and Mount Kenya University (MKU). In addition there are two teacher training colleges, namely, Meru and Igoji Teachers Training Colleges. There are five technical institutes and various private colleges most of them offering training in ICT.

1.6.5 Energy Access (Main sources of Energy, Electricity Coverage etc)

The main source of energy for cooking by household is wood fuel and charcoal which accounts for 86.1 per cent and 6.6 per cent respectively. The number of household connected to electricity is 13.6 per cent; those using paraffin are 4.5 per cent, gas 2.4 per cent, biogas 0.1 per cent and solar 6.6 per cent. Major public and private institutions are connected to national grid but the major challenge for the county is how to connect the over 85 per cent households with electricity.



1.6.6 Markets and Urban Centres

There are five main urban centres and forty nine trading centres in the county. Meru Town, Nku-bu, Laare, Timau and Maua are the major urban centres. Meru town is the largest in the county. All the trading centres are agricultural markets with all centres having two market days per week.

1.6.7 Housing Types

Corrugated iron sheets accounts for 97.5 per cent of the household’s roofing materials with 0.7 per cent using asbestos sheets, while 1.1 per cent of the households use grass for roofing their houses. The county has 315, 100 and 35 low, medium and high grade government houses respec-tively to supplementing the private sector efforts. The county is characterized by inadequate, un-affordable and indecent housing, particularly for low income earners in urban areas and equally so, in the rural sector. The county also faces the problem of low level of urban home ownership and extensive and inappropriate dwelling units including slums and squatter settlement. The quality of housing also varies from one part of the county to another with Meru town having decent housing ranging from permanent, semi-permanent and temporary houses.

1.7 Land and Land Use

The major land use in the county is mainly for agricultural activities for both crops farming and livestock-keeping. Other uses include cultural and forestry conservation. There are large scale farming carried out by private companies in Timau area of Buuri constituency. These are mainly for wheat farming with Kisima farm being the largest in the county. Livestock farming is also being practised on group ranches in Tigania and Igembe areas.



1.7.1 Mean Holding SizeThe average land holding size per household is 1.8 ha for the small scale and 18.25 ha for the large scale land owners. The area which is potential for irrigation is 81,262 ha with only 2,131 ha under irrigation. The major land use in the county is farming for both subsistence and com-mercial purposes.

1.7.2 Percentage of Land with Title DeedsOver 50 per cent of the farmers in the county have title deeds. However, Meru North region leads with the highest number of farmers without title deeds. This is mainly as a result of slow process of land registration and numerous land cases in courts.

1.7.3 Incidence of LandlessnessThe land is unequally distributed within the county, with the large scale farmers holding large tracks of land while most households have small parcels of land. Inadequate land has resulted to rural-urban migration leading to increase in slums within the urban areas. The other cause of landlessness is the growth in population which has resulted to uneconomic land sub-divisions. Poverty and lack of income have hindered land acquisition leading to cases of landlessness. High cost of land is a major hindrance to the low income earners in acquiring land.

1.8 Community Organizations/Non-state actorsCommunity organizations within the county include community based organisations, faith based organisations and self-help groups. These community based organisations are involved in various activities which range from income generating, creating advocacy on HIV/AIDS and mobilising communities to participate in various social economic activities.

1.8.1 Cooperative SocietiesThere are 58 Cooperative Societies in the county with a total membership of 56,091. The coop-eratives societies’ activities range from agricultural, retail, urban, rural, consumer and multipur-pose societies. However 11 of these societies have become dormant due to poor management and lack of funds, and thus only 47 are active. The total turnover is in excess of Kenya shillings 700 million per year.

1.8.2 Non- Governmental Organizations (NGOs)A total of twenty six NGOs operate in the county. These NGOs provide services to county’s populace across all the sectors. Major NGOs include, Ripples international and AMREF among others. These organisations have been in the fore front in the fight against HIV/AIDS, Female genital mutilation, poverty, child abuse among other issues affecting the society.

1.8.3 Self-help Women and Youth GroupsThe county has a total of 1,841 women groups. This number is growing exponentially as new groups are registered daily. Majority of the groups come together to manage community resourc-es like water points and improving the welfare of the members through merry go rounds. The number of registered youth groups is approximately 1,200. The introduction of Youth Enterprise Development Fund has led to more youth groups being registered.



1.9 Crop, Livestock and Fish Production

In the recent past, most farmers have been shifting from traditional cash and food crops to horti-cultural production which fetches relatively high prices in the market. ‘Miraa’ (khat) farming is the major agricultural cash crop in the Nyambene ranges area with most farmers specializing in it as the major source of income.

Figure 6: Wheat Farm in Buuri Constituency



Figure 7: Fish Pond in Imenti Central

1.9.1 Main Crops ProducedThe county has a wide range of agro-ecological zones and untapped water for irrigation which support the production of a variety of crops such as mangoes, citrus, coffee, maize, beans, Ba-nanas, pigeon peas, cow peas and horticultural crops.

1.9.2 Acreage under Food Crops and Cash Crops

The major economic activity in the county is agriculture with the major cash crops being tea, cof-fee, miraa and bananas. The total acreage under food and cash crops is 161,907.2 ha and 15,773.4 ha respectively. Land subdivision has significantly reduced the average acreage to 1.8ha.

1.9.3 Average Farm Sizes

The average farm size in the county currently ranges from 1.8 ha for small scale to 18.25 ha for the large scale farmers. Kisima farm in Buuri Constituency is the largest in the county. Other large farms include Protea, Lobelia and Ibis - all located in Timau of Buuri Constituency.

1.9.4 Main Storage Facilities

The main storage facilities are traditional and modern cribs, which are used by most small scale farmers while large scale farmers uses the traders stores and National Cereals and Produce Board depots (NCPB). There are two NCPB depots in the county, namely Maua and Meru. The main purpose of the depots is to receive produce from the farmers and market them on their behalf. The stores also play a key role in the distribution of various farm inputs to the farmers such as the subsidized fertilizers.



1.9.5 Main Livestock Breed

The main livestock are goat, cattle, sheep, pig, rabbits and poultry which are reared in small scale since most land is used for farming of food and cash crops. The livestock are mainly used for domestic purposes for example the bulls are used for cultivation of small farms and cows for dairy milk.

1.9.6 Number of Ranches

There are four company ranches with an average of 100 ha and four group ranches. The major activities carried out include cattle and sheep rearing. The Lewa ranch, one of the company ranches, is also a wildlife conservancy.

1.9.7 Main Fishing Activities and Types of Fish Produced

The county has over 2,000 fish pounds which are evenly distributed in all areas of the county. The county has highly benefited from the various Government programmes which have seen every constituency have at least 200 fish ponds. The major types of fish are Tilapia, Mud fish and trout. The increase in fishing activities has greatly improved the household income and nutrition. All the fishermen are on small scale basis with the total number been approximated to be over 2,500 farmers. These fish farmers mainly incorporate fishing with other agricultural activities. This calls for establishment of cold storage for the harvested fish.

1.10 Forestry and Agro-forestry

The county forest cover totals 1,776.1 km2, which is 25.6 per cent of the total county area. There are ten gazetted forest, with Mt Kenya and Imenti forest being the major ones and occupying 63,358 ha in the county. The ungazetted forests are 19 with 345 ha coverage. Encroachment of forested areas has resulted to major human wildlife conflicts in the region such as destruction of farm crops by elephants. The aspect of agro-forestry is highly practiced within the county, with the Forest department giving permits to farmers to ensure they get their livelihood as well as con-serve the forest. The squatters in Timau area are major beneficiaries of agro-forestry activities in the Mt. Kenya forest.

1.10.1 Main Forest Types and Size of Forests

The two broad categories of forest are natural forest and manmade forests. The county has Mt Kenya and Imenti forests which are natural forests with rich biodiversity. Conventional tree planting is mainly incorporated in the farms and along the river banks.

1.10.2 Main Forest Products

The main forest products are timber, wood fuel, charcoal, seedling production and poles. The high demand of these products has resulted to deforestation and hence need for policy measures to conserve the forests. The Mt. Kenya region is the major source of main forest products within the county.



Figure 8: Gitune Forest in Imenti North

1.10.3 Promotion of Agro-Forestry and Green Economy

a) Income Generating Activities

The major income generating activities within the forest sub-sector include farming of food crops especially potatoes which accounts for almost 90 per cent of the farming activities within the farm forests. Despite a ban on logging by forest department and National Environmental Management Authority (NEMA) timber harvesting and charcoal burning is also being practised. However the game rangers have been deployed to curb the practise. More conservation measures need to be put up to protect the forests.

b) Protection of Water Catchment Areas

The county is the major origin of the main tributaries of River Tana. Several programs have been put in place to protect the water catchment areas like the Mount Kenya East Pilot Project for natural resources management (MKEPP) was the major program advocating for protection of the water catchment areas. The major activities within this program included tree planting within the river banks. A second phase of the project covering upper Tana basin will be focussing on four sub catchments in the county.

c) Prevention of Soil Erosion

The hilly terrain of the county calls for measures to prevent soil erosion which is widespread in all the areas of the county given moderate rainfall experienced in the county. The ministry of agriculture is in the forefront in training farmers on contour farming and terracing of farm lands



to curb soil erosion. Other measures include tree planting in hilly places and along river banks and de-siltation of sediment laden rivers.

d) Provision of Wood Fuel and Generation of Energy for Industries such as Tea EstatesWood fuel is the major source of household fuel in the county with over 86.1 per cent of the total population relying on it for their daily energy needs. However major industries within the county are connected with electricity. In order to conserve the county’s forest cover, afforestation and re-afforestation measures are been encouraged by both government and non-governmental agencies. Also low biomass energy saving jikos will be promoted

e) Improvement of Soil Fertility by Growing Fertilizer Trees

In order to improve soil fertility the ministry of agriculture is providing farmers with subsidized fertilizers. Trainings on best soil fertility conservation measures are also been carried out by sev-eral government and non-governmental actors. Traditional practises are also been used e.g. use of animal mature to enrich the soil.

f) Growing of Fruit Trees for Improved Nutrition, Domestic Use and Surplus for Markets

The county soil and climate are very conducive for fruit farming. Banana farming is the major fruit being grown in the county especially in Imenti and Igembe regions of the county. This crop is farmed for both subsistence and commercial purposes with majority of households moving from the traditional cash crops like coffee and tea to tissue culture banana farming.

g) Provision of carbon sinks e.g. Carbon Credits trading

This is a process in which the country that produces less of carbon dioxide from industries accu-mulates some credits tradable in the carbon credit market. This concept is still in its infant stage in the country. However, there is a draft policy to kick start carbon credit trading which has been initiated by government in conjunction with Africa Carbon Exchange (ACX). Several projects in power generation have since applied for accreditation to earn carbon credits. Measures are also being taken to ensure forests cover is increased to the recommended ten per cent to allow carbon sequestration.

h)Beautificationactivitiesintowns,highways,schools,homesandotherpublicplacesThe beautification of public gardens, roundabouts and highways is mainly sponsored by private companies as form of corporate social responsibility. The Economic Stimulus Program and Kazi Kwa Vijana program have provided schools with seedlings for beautification purposes. In Meru town, Nteere grounds have been beautified by the Ministry of Environment and NEMA to a con-ducive recreational park within the town.

i) Animal Feeds Production Ventures Production of animal feeds is practised on small scale within the county mainly by individual farmers within their farm lands. Currently large scale production is only being undertaken by Kisima farm in Timau area of Buuri constituency.



j) Growing and Processing Value Plants and Products for Medicinal Purposes

This aspect is yet to be exploited on large scale basis within the county. However traditional herbalists still exist though on small scales. Major medicinal plants are the natural plants in the forest areas of Mt. Kenya and Nyambene ranges.

1.11 Environment and Climate Change

Environment refers to the aggregate of the surroundings, conditions, or influences of the sur-roundings. Climate encompasses the statistics of temperature, humidity, atmospheric pressure, wind, precipitation, atmospheric particle count and other meteorological elemental measure-ments in a given region over long periods. Climate can be contrasted to weather, which is the present condition of these elements and their variations over shorter periods.

1.11.1 Environmental Degradation

The main causes of environmental degradation are human activities such as farming, mining, road construction, human settlements and overstocking of livestock. Other causes of environ-mental degradation include changing weather patterns that affect soil cover such as forests and all other forms of vegetation. Human activities such a cultivation, overgrazing, mining as well as settlements disturb the ecological setup and expose soil to erosion, reducing its ability to sustain natural regeneration of soil cover.

1.11.2 Effects of Environmental Degradation

The major effects include soil erosion which also contributes to loss in soil fertility, drying of riv-ers is also been experienced due to encroachment in wet land areas and also prolonged periods of drought. Wildlife in the forest areas are also migrating to other areas due to logging of the forests leading to human wildlife conflicts. The quarrying is causing a health hazard to the surrounding communities especially during the rainy seasons posing both landslides dangers to the populace and breeding sites for mosquitoes.

Figure 9: Soil Eroded Site in Imenti South Constituency



1.11.3 Climate Change and its Effects in the County

Climate change refers to significant and lasting change in the statistical distribution of weather patterns over periods ranging from decades to millions of years. It may be a change in average weather conditions or the distribution of events around that average (e.g. more or fewer extreme weather events). It may be limited to a specific region or may occur across the whole Earth. The county is experiencing increased periods of drought, erratic rainfalls and increase in tempera-tures as a result of changing climatic conditions.

1.11.4 Climate Change Mitigation Measures and Adaptation Strategies

The key measures being taken include; reforestation and reclamation of wetlands through plant-ing of trees and community sensitization. Implementing of the various Acts of Parliament that have been passed to enhance forest and natural resource conservation measure e.g. Environment Management and Coordination Act, Kenya Forest Service Act, Water Act.

1.12 Mining

Mining is the exploration and extraction of valuable minerals or other geological materials from the earth for economic interest to the miner. In the county this economic activity has not been fully exploited.

1.12.1 Ongoing Activities

The major mining activities include production of building stones and ballast in small quantities in areas of Imenti Central and Imenti South.

1.12.2 Mining Potentials

The county’s potential for mining is low given that the area is largely agricultural. Mining poten-tial has not been exploited and a research to explore any mining potential may be conducted to indicate potentials in the county

1.13 Tourism

This sector has a high potential especially with neighbouring Isiolo County having a resort city as a flagship project under the Kenya Vision 2030. The county expects to benefit from hotel in-dustry among other tourism activities.

Figure 10: Meru Dancers Entertain Guests at a Function



1.13.1 Main Tourist Attractions, National Parks/Reserves

The tourism industry is fairly developed in the county, with Meru National park being the major tourist centre. The Lewa Downs ranch which is privately owned attracts tourists and competitive sports like the cross country, rhino charge and marathon. The county also has Mt. Kenya which is a major tourist destination. The diverse cultures and heritage among the Meru community are another form of tourist attraction such as conservation of traditional worship places by the ‘Nchuri Ncheke’ elders.

1.13.2 Main Wildlife

There are a variety of wildlife such as white elephant, baboons, giraffe, gazelle, buffalos, rhi-no, cheetah, zebras and different birds’ species. These wildlife species are mainly found in the gazetted game parks and forests such as the Meru National Park, Mt. Kenya National Park and Imenti forest.

1.13.3 Tourist Class Hotels/Restaurants, Bed Occupancy

The hotel industry has approximately 2,500 bed occupancy capacity. Tourist class hotels are mostly found within the tourist attraction sites, mainly the Meru National Park. These hotels are privately owned with the county having one three star hotel. Most hotels are classified as bars and restaurants or unclassified.

1.14 Industry

The county has a number of factories which add value to agricultural products. These are mainly owned by the various tea and coffee cooperatives societies. There are also factories processing livestock products such as milk, owned by farmer’s cooperatives. There are other factories in the county producing bread and animal feeds. These are in small scale and mainly found in Meru town.

1.15 Employment and Other Sources of Income

Wage employment and self employment contributes 20 per cent to the household income which is attributed to Trade and Industry sub-sectors. Majority of the population are employed in the agricultural sector which contributes to 80 per cent of the households’ total income.

1.15.1 Wage Earners

Wage employment contributes approximately 10 per cent of the total household income. It’s estimated that over 135,630 persons are engaged in wage employment, this is approximately 10 per cent of the total population. The public sector and the private sector are the two major sources of wage income. Other sources are the civil society organisations which comprise NGOs, CBOs and FBOs.

1.15.2 Self Employed

Self-employment in the county is mainly in the agricultural sector, jua kali and trade sectors. However, inadequate capital has hindered the growth in self employment given the huge amount paid as goodwill and high rental rates required in urban centres. Self employment contributes on average 10 per cent of the total household income.



1.15.3 Labour Force

Labour force refers to population aged between 15 years and 64 years. The county total labour force is 793,177persons which is 53 per cent of the total population. This labour force comprises of 401,060 females and 392,117 males. This portrays a good image of a light burden on the work-force as every person works for approximately one dependant. The opportunities to engage those willing to work are curtailed by low investment in job creation ventures and lack of resources to start up small businesses as a form of self employment. Child labour is high at 35 per cent and is mostly engaged in the agriculture sector especially in miraa production and supply chain system. This calls for special protection measures for these children.

1.15.4 Unemployment Levels

Unemployment rate remains high at approximately 65 % of the total labour force. This translates to over 515,565 in 2012 persons seeking job opportunities without success. This situation is like-ly to cause discontent in the county as youths are the major victims who are likely to be abused by politicians and criminal gangs. The high rate is attributed to low absorption rate in the agricul-ture and commercial sectors and preference for white colour jobs by the youth. The youth prefer salaried employments to self employed job, limiting their option in search for income sources, as preference tends to narrow the choices and opportunities.

1.16 Water and Sanitation

The county has water supply in some urban centres mainly from rivers originating from Mt. Ken-ya forest and Nyambene hills. Water sector reforms being implemented have resulted in estab-lishment of Tana Water Service Board, formation of Water Users Associations and the licensing of water service providers with Meru Water and Sewerage Services (MEWASS) providing water service in the Meru municipality, while Imetha Water Services serves the rest of the county.

1.16.1 Water Resources and Quality

The county has 11 permanent rivers with major one being the Kathita River which is a tributary to River Tana. The county also has 12 shallow wells, 30 protected springs, two water pans, 16 dams and 105 boreholes. These form the major sources of water for domestic use and irrigation. The quality of water in the county is good for domestic use as it originates from sources like Mt. Kenya and Nyambene hills. However, the land use practices and increase in use of chemicals in agriculture sector tend to pollute the water as it flows down stream.

1.16.2 Water Supply Schemes

Meru Water and Sewerage Company (MEWASS) is the only company licensed to supply wa-ter and sewerage services in Meru town while Thuura – Giaki is the biggest community water scheme in the county. Imetha Water Company supplies water to all other towns of the county. Other small water projects have been started through community initiatives due to high demand for irrigation water especially in arid areas of the county.

1.16.3 Water Sources (Distance to Nearest Water Points)

The average distance to the nearest water point in 2009 was 1.5km. This has however been re-duced following the use of CDF funds to finance community water projects aimed at bringing water closer to the people. The number of households with access to piped water stands at 21,920 while household with access to potable is 6,744. This contrasts sharply with the supply of water as only 2 per cent of the population has access to piped water.



1.16.4 Sanitation

Meru town is served by an old sewerage system while Makutano area of the town has no sewer system. Other major towns within the county lack sewerage systems. The major sanitation fa-cilities are pit latrines which are used by over 80.4 per cent of the population. Other households using flush toilets and VIP latrines account for 5.8 per cent and 13.1 per cent respectively. Waste and garbage disposal is mostly managed by the local authorities in the urban centres and within the rural households private firms, garbage pit, burning, public garbage heap and farm manure are the common modes of disposal.

1.17 Health Access and Nutrition

Health and nutrition plays a major role in development through ensuring a healthy population. Diseases prevention and health promotion ensures a healthy environment for the public. This should be of high quality, affordable and accessible to the general population.

1.17.1 Health Access (Health Facilities, Personnel)

The county has one level 5 hospital, eight level 4 hospitals, 31 level 3 facilities(health centres, nursing homes and 3 maternity homes) and 260 level 2 facilities (dispensaries and clinics). Due to high population growth the number of health facilities need to be up scaled to cater for the populace.

1.17.2 Morbidity: Five most Common Diseases in order of Prevalence

The major diseases affecting the county populace are malaria, skin diseases, intestinal worms, HIV/AIDS and respiratory. The prevalence rate of malaria stands at 15 per cent. HIV/AIDS is also a major challenge in the county with a prevalence rate of 6.3 per cent. This has led to in-crease in child headed households, low labour productivity and poverty due to high medication costs.

1.17.3 Nutritional status (Prevalence of Stunting and Wasting in Children under 5 years: Height-for-age, Weight-for-Height, Weight-for-age)

Cases of malnutrition are minimal because majority of the areas in the county are food secure. However, there are some cases being reported from arid areas bordering Isiolo and Tharaka Nithi Counties where two out of five children under the age of five are stunted. In the county most children are being breast fed for more than 6 months and most of the children under five years get vitamin A supplement. Pregnant women are usually supplied with iron supplement during the Ante Natal Clinic (ANC) visits.

1.17.4 Immunization Coverage

Immunization coverage is high, with 98 per cent of the children under 5 years having received all the basic recommended vaccination such as BCG, Measles, 3 doses of DPT and Polio vaccine. This has reduced the under-5 mortality rate to an average of 25/1000 in the year 2012 down from 65/1000 in 2000.

1.17.5 Access to Family Planning Services/Contraceptive Prevalence

The average number of children per woman is four. It estimated that nine per cent of women use the pills while four per cent are sterilized. The unmet need for family planning stands at 24 per cent of the married women. There is increased use of modern methods of family planning due to provision of the health services by APHIA II plus, Marie Stopes, Red Cross and government health facilities.



1.18 Education and Literacy

The county is made up of 15 education divisions and zones. Staffing is inadequate for both teachers and education officers. Majority of the students are attending government institutions at the schooling levels except for professionals and vocational training where private institutions absorb most students.

1.18.1 Pre-School Education

There are 61,870 children enrolled in pre-primary schools in the county which constitutes 28,925 male and 32,945 female. This number is enrolled in the 813 ECD centres. The total number of ECD teachers is 1,202 making the teacher child ration to be 1:51. The average number of years of attendance for the pre-school education is three.

1.18.2 Primary Education

The county has 647 public primary schools with a total enrolment of 335,879 pupils and 5,520 teachers. The teacher pupil ratio is 1:60 which is higher than the recommended ratio of 1:40. This number of pupil in primary school is however higher than children aged 6-13 years which stand at 298,025. This is may be attributed to many children joining schools when they are older and others joining from neighbouring counties. Introduction of CDF has resulted to growth in the number of schools and also improvement of school infrastructure.

1.18.3 Literacy

The county rate of literacy stood at 53 per cent in 2012, with the sex ratio being male 40 per cent and 60 per cent female. This implies that girl child campaign has resulted in imbalances in enrolment and completion rates for boys and girls. To improve the literacy rate, 74 adult learn-ing centres have been established with 910 learners and 312 teachers. There are however more female learners than male as the enrolment is 345 males and 565 females.

1.18.4 Secondary Education

There 192 public secondary schools in the county which absorbs students from both public and private primary schools. These schools have a total enrolment of 54,682 students against 1,825 teachers. The proportion of those enrolled in secondary school is however low compared to the population aged 14-17 years as only 45 per cent are in school. The number of male in secondary school stand at 25,625 which is lower than that of girls whose number is 29,057. The low number of boys could be attributed to a combination of factors in the county.

1.18.5 Tertiary Education

There are four public universities, three private universities, two teachers training colleges, one national polytechnic and various tertiary colleges offering post-secondary education. In addition there are several youth polytechnics involved mainly in training on life skills such as masonry, welding, tailoring and carpentry.

2.4 Major Development Challenges

This section provides a brief outline of the major development challenges facing the various sub-sectors in the county. The challenges include but not limited to the following:

(a) Poor Infrastructure

The county depends on road as the major mode of transport. However, the feeder roads that serve the agricultural areas are in poor state especially during the rainy seasons. The poor state of roads in the county hinders access to market by traders and farmers, resulting in high cost of trans-portation. Inaccessibility to markets for perishable products like horticulture and milk results to heavy losses for the farmers.

(b) Poor Marketing Systems

The county relies heavily on agriculture. However, most of these commodities are sold in raw form without any value addition thereby fetching low prices in the market. There is also poor market organization which has led to very low prices. Exploitation by middlemen has further re-duced investment in the sub-sector. The dairy industry faces a big threat due to middle men (who does what) and poor market organization. Few agricultural products are channelled through Meru Central Farmers association which used to market products dairy and other agricultural



products in the county. This affects the returns in the agricultural sub-sector reducing wealth accumulation for investment.

(c) Change in Weather Patterns

Most of the agricultural activities in the county are rain fed. In the recent past there has been a major change in weather patterns with rainfall falling below the expected levels of 300mm p.a. in the lower midlands to 2500mm p.a. in the uplands and with prolonged dry spells being expe-rienced. The change in weather patterns has resulted into unpredictable and unreliable rains in most parts of the county. This has greatly affected the quantity and quality of agricultural pro-duce. The varieties of crops being grown in the county have also been affected. Irrigation is not well developed and therefore the income from agriculture and other productive sub-sectors have been affected due to over reliance on rain fall. The reduced income has resulted into low savings and further affecting investment in the county.

(d) High Unemployment Rate

The high unemployment rate has impacted negatively on development of the county through a high dependency ratio. This is because even though the ratio of the labour force to the rest of the population is 1:1, employment opportunities are inadequate. Over 80% of the population rely on agriculture for their income and due to low productivity and lack of value addition on these products then few gainful employment opportunities are created. The accumulation of resource for development (savings) has reduced over time due to this rising dependency ratios. Industrial and other formal of employment are not well developed with exception of Meru town which has substantial formal employment. Miraa and large scale farming provide informal employment. Wheat farming is highly mechanised thus reducing employment opportunities.



CHAPTER THREE

SPATIAL PLANNING

Spatial planning is the organization of land use to achieve sustainable development. It can be done at various levels i.e. national level, county spatial plan, urban areas and city integrated development plans and short term plans such as advisory plans and action plans. A county plan will:

• Indicate the distribution of the current and future land use patterns for the various sector areas

• Facilitate network connectivity within and outside the county• Indicate the most suitable areas for urban development

It is a tool to implement national and county government policies and guidelines

VisionWell planned and sustainable human settlements

MissionProvide an appropriate spatial framework for sustainable development through preparation of spatial plan

Objectives• Create harmony in development of county transport system and infrastructure• To facilitate well planned and balanced human settlements• To provide for public open and recreational spaces• Develop urban and rural settlements as integrated areas of economic and social activity• To ensure balanced development • To protect historical and cultural sites

Spatial plans will be prepared in liaison with professional physical planners identified by the Directorate of Physical Planning in the Department of Land, Economic and Physical Planning. The spatial plan should include the following:

CHAPTER FOUR

LINKAGE WITH OTHER PLANS

4.0 Preamble

This county integrated development plan lays out the strategies and the institutional framework that the county has identified as the vehicle to achieve the development goals and objectives. It is the first integrated plan for the Meru County and was prepared on the basis of constitutional and legislative backing of the Kenya constitution 2010, Public Financial Management Act 2013, County Governments Act 2012 and Urban areas and Cities Act.

The Constitution of Kenya 2010 Article 174 (c), under Chapter eleven gives the people power of self-governance through participation in decision making. This power is exercise in various ways including voting, planning and budgeting. The Public Financial Management (PFM) Act 2013 also lays the responsibility of preparing the CIDP to the county governments (sec 125 sub sec (1(a) as the basis for its budgeting process, defining both the short term and the long term priorities of the county. Section 126 (1) of the PFM Act also defines the specifics that the CIDP should enumerate in detail, highlighting the importance of monitoring and evaluating process. This responsibility to prepare the CIPD rests with the County Executive responsible for planning and the law requires that it must presented to the county assembly by September 1, every year (sec 126 (3)). County Government Act 2012 section 107 specifically mentions what plans each county shall prepare that shall guide its development activities.

4.1 Kenya Vision 2030 and Second MTP

The county priorities and strategies borrow heavily on the Second Medium Term Plan (MTP2) that was developed on the basic principles laid out in the Kenya Vision 2030. This plan is pre-pared mainly on the basis of the Medium Term Expenditure Framework (MTEF) that was devel-oped to guide planning process. To ensure the agenda of the Kenya Vision 2030 and all its future derivative plans are not lost to the planners, the Ministry of Devolution and Planning which guides the planning process has continued to spearhead planning activities through the provision of direction and guidelines for the preparation of CIDPs. The thematic areas focused by the first and the second MTP have been cascaded into county planning process. Key in the process has been the complete change of strategy in planning to involve the public in envisioning and medi-ating the overall dream together. Public participation, which is now a constitutional requirement for any planning process has proved to a vital towards the achievement of Vision 2030.

Monitoring and evaluation, which is a key component of the Kenya Vision 2030 and all its MTPs proved to be a useful tool in tracking process of implementation. These tools have been incorpo-rated into this plan. The County has identified some key projects which spill over to neighbour-ing counties where inter-county planning and implementation is required. This plan identifies key flagship projects that are of interest to the county, and which may such the LAPSSET, Isiolo Resort and Airport as some of the projects outside the county, or rather interacting with the county. These projects’ proximity to the county are of keen interest to the county development



and adequate strategies have been proposed to harness the anticipated potential likely to be occa-sioned by their implementation. Already, the county is positioning itself to reap from the benefits of the Isiolo international airport whose construction is at advanced stage. The LAPSSET project which has already started at Lamu will have great impact on its transit point, Meru County being one of the regions traversed by this mega project that will transform East Africa commerce.

Millennium Development Goals are the international declarations agreed up on by all the United Nations member states and at least 23 international organisations to be achieved by 2015. These formed the eight goals, 21 targets and 60 indicators, formed around eight thematic areas. Even though the MDGs implementation period will come to end by the year 2015, the core themat-ic areas around which the MDGs were conceived remains valid and focal point of the county planning as most of the target remain unachieved. The social protection and health covers the MDGs widely, which are actually the basis and the thematic areas. The plan highlights the key strategies useful in addressing the challenges identified by the MDGs. The CIDP was prepared as a consolidation of the sector plans which identified the issues and strategies in each sector and Sub-sectors. It also integrates the Urban and Cities as well as the spatial plans that map out the land use in the county. To achieve the overall objective of the county integrated plan, sector plans were prepared in an interlinked way to maximise the synergies, and eliminate the duplication.

The implementation, monitoring and evaluation mechanism of public resources plays great role in ensuring that the objectives of the project/programme are realised. It ensures that the con-strained resources are used to realize maximum benefits. It therefore means that monitoring and evaluation require to be strengthened. Collaboration among various development agencies namely the donor agencies, CBOs, NGOs, the government and other stakeholders is necessary through strong networking system. The County Planning Coordination, Monitoring and Evalua-tion Unit will offer the required leadership in the process.

a). Implementation

To implement the provisions of the programmes in this section of governance and public admin-istration a number of key actors will be vital. The governor shall promote and facilitate citizen participation in the development of policies and plans, and delivery of services in the county. The Sub-county, Ward and Village Administrator shall facilitate and coordinate participation and communication in their respective Sub-county, ward and villages. The village administrators have an extended role of assisting the village unit to develop the administrative capacity for the effective exercise of the functions and powers and participation in governance at the local level.

The private sector through provision of appropriate channels and mechanisms will play a key role in ensuring update engagement of the public.

The public have a role to participate in the various forums, demand for information and provide feedback to the government over the content and process of public participation, communication and access to information.

B. SWOT Analysis

Strengths WeaknessesExistence of a Ministry and department in

charge of planning both at the county and national level

An already established infrastructural setup at most of the Sub-counties

Skilled personnel to spearhead planning

Laws and policies to guide planning

Inadequate personnel

Poorly equipped to handle the assigned tasks

Inadequate funding to facilitate depart-ment’s operational needs

Inadequate skills on data processing

Inadequate skills in M&E


Devolution of functions and resources in the department and other important sectors

Strong collaboration with partners in data collection, processing and management

Institutional support from donors for training and equipping of facilities

The importance attached to data need for planning creates an environment for funding

Unclear guidelines on the functions of the department between the county and national governments

Sustained loss of personnel to private and civil society organisation

Political interferance on professional exercises e.g. poverty assessment

Security threats on data management

The implementation, monitoring and evaluation mechanism of public resources plays great role in ensuring that the objectives of the project/programme are realised. It ensures that the con-strained resources are used to realize maximum benefits. It therefore means that monitoring and evaluation require to be strengthened. Collaboration among various development agencies namely the donor agencies, CBOs, NGOs, the government and other stakeholders is necessary through strong networking system. The County Planning Coordination, Monitoring and Evalua-tion Unit will offer the required leadership in the process.

6.6 Health


The County has a fairly functional health care system with 183 health facilities of which 116 are public, 44 faith-based, 3 non-governmental organization and 20 private sector owned. The sector interventions have been skewed towards curative services with 150 per cent hospital bed occupancy in the public sector. Leadership and governance in the sector is established in form of available service charters and therapeutic committees in some facilities. The human resources for health in the county is well skilled but limited in terms of numbers for certain cadres. Financ-ing is mainly from the National Government of Kenya, Development Partners, Private Sector, Individuals and now the County Government.

6.6.2 Sectoral Vision, Mission, Goal and Objectives

VisionA healthy population in Meru County for sustainable social and economic development

MissionTo ensure residents of Meru County are healthy through implementation of promotive and pre-ventive health interventions, and improved access to and utilization of quality curative services

GoalTo ensure Meru County residents have access to and utilize affordable quality health services to improve health outcomes

Sector ObjectivesThe set objectives for Meru County Health for the Plan period are as captured below:

• To ensure a well Led and Coordinated Meru County Health System that is responsive to the needs of residents by the end of the plan period

• To ensure quality health services are accessible to all residents of Meru County by the end of the plan period



• Ensure there is an adequate number of skilled human resources for health in Meru County to provide quality services by the end of plan period

• Ensure Meru County has adequate health commodities and devices to provide effective/quality services throughout the plan period

• Ensure Meru County has the necessary evidence to inform planning and effective imple-mentation of activities throughout the plan period

• To have all planned Meru County Health activities fully financed throughout the plan period


Meru County has a well-organized County Health Department led by the Cabinet Secretary and a well skilled and motivated team of professionals. The County Health Department caters for the needs of mainly the local population and whose key characteristics are highlighted in the table below. About 40% of the total County population is below 15 years; and 15% of its women are in the child bearing age (15-49 years).

Table 9: Key Demographic Characteristics of the Meru County Residents:

1 Population total 1,437,3002 Population Female 52% 745,0483 Population Male 48% 692,2524 Households 335,1515 Population under 1 year 3% 41,8146 Population under 5 years 15% 210,6947 Population under 15 years 40% 570,7668 Population 15-24 years 24% 338,1519 Women of childbearing age (15–49yrs) 23% 330,981

10 Estimated Number of Pregnant Women 7% 96,57711 Estimated Deliveries 4% 61,98612 Estimated live births 8% 108,14613 Neonates 0- 28 days 1% 18,55014 Population 25-59 years 34% 486,25715 Population over 60 years 6% 86,35216 Estimated Emergency obstetric complications 1% 9,63817 Estimated of post abortion cases 1% 11,85818 Population 6-11 Months (50% of <1yrs) 20,90719 Population 12-59 Months (80% of < 5yrs) 152,26020 Population 6-59 Months (90% of < 5yrs) 189,625

The Goal of Meru County Health sector aim is to have universal access to affordable quality health services for all residents by focusing on: i) Promotive Health; ii) Preventive Health; and iii) Curative Services.

Health Services provision at the County Level is centered around the tenets described by both the Kenya Essential Package of Health Services (KEPH) and Schedule IV of the Kenya Constitu-



tion 2010. These two key documents define mandates/roles/responsibilities for interventions and service delivery at Level - 1 (Community), Level – 2 (Dispensary), Level – 3 (Health Centre), Level – 4 (Sub-county/ district) and Level - 5 (County Referral) of the health system.

Data shows that today, the biggest cause of morbidity in the County is Malaria at 33% followed by Respiratory Tract Infections (27%), Worm Infestations (17%), Diarrheal Diseases (14%) and Injuries due to Accidents.HIV prevalence (at about 3%) remains below the threshold for an epi-demic status (5%) and below the national prevalence at 5.6%.The number of clients who visited and were attended to at the health facilities in 2012 is as high-lighted in the tables hereunder.

Table 10: Number of Outpatients Seen at Various Levels of the Health System in Meru County

Num-ber

Pt Type Number of Out Patients TotalFacility L- 2&3 L-4 L-5

Table 10 above shows that most outpatients are seen at the Level 5, -2 and 3 of the health fa-cilities within Meru County; this constitutes more than half of all visits made by individuals to access medical services. It is also seen that more than half of those attended at the Level -2 & -3 facilities make repeat visits indicating limited knowledge and skills that is an indication of the lack of capacity in the sectors human resources and inability for health (HRH) at this level to correctly diagnose and treat conditions/diseases that brought clients to the clinic. This further points to the use of pharmaceutical products that have efficacy deficits and/or the presence of poor adherence by patients to the prescribed treatment(s).

In general, lack of and/or the limited present of capacity to correctly diagnose diseases and/ or monitor treatment at most service sites in the County has added to the strain on the health fa-cilities; both lowered the quality of services and contributed to poor treatment outcomes. Both imaging and laboratory equipment and the requisite skilled human resources to operate them too are a significant gap in most of our health facilities and system.

In PatientsFacility L- 2&3 L-2&3 L-4 L-5 Total# of patients 2,690 8,622 10,078 21,390

The County Referral Hospital (Level-5) currently admits as many patients as the other facility levels put together. The hospital is very congested ad often patients share beds due to the limited bed-capacity and the inability currently of both Health Centres and Sub-county Hospitals to take in some of these patients who would otherwise have been served in their home turf. The lack of, and/or limited ward space and beds in these health facilities has been the key reason for the overstretched inpatient facilities at the Meru County Referral Hospital.

It is instructive to know that; overall, the Faith-based Organization (FBO) run facilities have more bed capacity than the other sectors put together in Meru County. The concentration of this is however in three Sub-counties (Igembe South, Imenti South and Imenti Central). Below is the



analysis of bed capacity in Meru County by type of facility ownership and location.

Uptake of health services in Meru County has improved steadily over the last few years. How-ever, health service seeking behaviour for most non-curative services remains low; and many of those who seek curative services do so rather late. For example, overall, 52% (against 58% na-tional average) of women in the County deliver at home. Meru County has an under-5 mortality of 72 per 1000 and infant deaths being 54 per 1000.

There is an inadequate number of well-equipped and functional public sector facilities to cater for the rising need for services. Currently, for example, only 36 (19%) facilities in the entire County have functional maternity units as shown in Figure 15

Many factors stand in the way of improved access to health services in Meru County including the long distances those seeking services have to travel, an average of 13 Kilometres.

Currently, the County has 24 functional ambulances and only six dedicated ambulance drivers. Therefore, the County depends largely on drivers from the Provincial Administration.

Meru County Health has about 1,122 human resources for health (HRH) serving in the public sector. The number of HRH by cadre and Sub-county is shown in Table 12.

c). SWOT Analysis

The SWOT analysis of Meru County Health is shown below:

Strengths Weaknesses- County government committed to in-

vesting in the sector to improve health outcomes

- Skilled Human Resources for Health

- Existence of functional Sub-county health management teams

- Presence of a fairly functional Health Infrastructure in all 9 sub-counties.

- Increased cost of healthcare delivery



6.6.4 Health Sector Gap Analysis

An overview of the Meru County Health sector gap analysis is as below:

Leadership and Governance

In line with the national common standards on Leadership and Governance of the health sector and the various levels within it, the existing mechanisms intended to provide leadership and governance in Meru County are defined by Public Health Act. This law has provided the basis for the creation and operation of County, Sub-county and Facility Health Management Boards; therapeutic committees, and development and implementation of service charters.

The Meru County Health Department has developed new terms of reference (ToRs) to guide the constitution and operations of the Health Management Boards and/or Committees. This will in particular, ensure better coordination, support and oversight in general, for effective service delivery. The resultant strengthened leadership and, in part, the teams running facilities will facilitate the effective addressing of identified gaps at various levels of the health system in the County.

o Needed: Support for and objective recruitment of members to the various Health Man-agement Boards/ Committees in line with the TORs

Internal policies at the facility level in Meru County are weak; and therefore need to be reviewed and aligned to provide an enabling environment for better work performance. This review should be done however, without loss of the organization’s core positive values and accountability. Needed: Support for review and implementation of policies to strengthen Meru County Health to deliver quality services to residents.

Service Delivery

Strengthening service delivery is crucial to the achievement of the health-related Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), which include the delivery of interventions to reduce child mortal-ity, maternal mortality, and to reduce the burden relayed to the HIV epidemic, tuberculosis and malaria..

Health service delivery in Meru has improved over time with the strengthening of health systems in the Country under the guidance of the National Health Sector Strategic Plans. However there are still gaps that require to be addressed through concerted effort. Health services in the County have been comprehensive and we have provided preventative, curative, palliative and rehabili-tative, and health promotion services. The greater investment over the years has however been skewed towards curative/treatment services.

o Needed: Greater investment in promotive and preventive health to reduce (new) inci-dence of diseases and improve wellness among residents of Meru County.

The Meru County Referral Hospital (Level-5) is the largest health facility and caters for most public sector inpatient services and management of difficult outpatient referrals. The hospital has inadequate infrastructure and other resources needed to provide quality services to clients from within the County and without. There is needed to prepare and implement a comprehensive site development and utilization master plan. The new site plan will guide the development and maximization of both space utilization and rational placement of various/specific facilities for



efficient flow of goods and services to minimize time spent and movement in service of clients.

o Needed: i) Regular audits of available structural space, number of staff and workload; and ii) facility upgrades/renovations to meet the increasing demand for quality services.

It is evident that currently the quality of health services in Meru County is way below the expect-ed standard with the number of revisits and readmissions being unacceptably high at the Level 2 & 3 facilities. 70.7% (409,559/579249) of the clients attended to in 2012 at the Level-2 &-3 facilities made repeat visits.

There is lack of coordination in service delivery across provider types, types of care, levels of service delivery, and for both routine and emergency preparedness. Referral services too are not up to standard due to lack of adequate ambulances in the County. Referrals across sectors is also poorly coordinated. Accountability and efficiency in the sector is also poor with lack of emphasis or measures to minimize wastage of resources.

There is a need to ensure services are of high quality in Meru County, i.e. that they are effective, safe, centred on the patient’s needs and given in a timely fashion. The public sector lacks service delivery standards; and where service charters are available, they are not adhered to; and the therapeutic committees in facilities do not carry out service delivery audits regularly.

o Needed: The development and implementation of: i) a comprehensive evidence informed skills development programme which ensures our frontline staffs have skills that match demands in the community for better health outcomes; ii) health services standards to improve service delivery

While the necessary safety standards and protocols exist and are at various degrees of implemen-tation at the health facilities there is need, as part of the safety improvement strategy, to under-take regular reviews of these; and provide to staff and clients the necessary tools including radi-ation protection clothing, induction/training to reduce risk, and disinfectant as appropriate, etc.

o Needed: The development and implementation of a plan to strengthen sustainably the Meru County health capacity to provide quality diagnostic (imaging and lab) services to support evidence informed clinical practice.

Clinical practice that results in quality service is, in addition to health provider skills and access to and use of diagnostic equipment/tools and medicines, a function of the access and mandatory use of guidelines and service protocols/standards. Further, service charters are becoming the norm in the service industry but compliance with the set milestones of performance is often poor. Meru County Health will review, and/or develop and implement appropriate service guidelines, policies, protocols and service charters; and guide their effective implementation and monitoring to improve the quality of services to clients as appropriate. Further, Meru County will embrace and/or encourage other stakeholders too to embrace use of ICT tools (e-health platforms in-cluding mobile phones, computers, e.t.c) to improve communication; data acquisition/electronic record keeping, data analysis and use for quality service provision.

o Needed: The development and implementation of a plan to strengthen the use of modern ICT technology in Meru County to support evidence informed clinical practice.

Both through outreach and as part of the community strategy, the health providers have over the years undertaken albeit to a limited degree, community mobilization through use of various



communication strategies to improve the health seeking behaviour of target communities to en-sure early diagnosis and treatment of conditions. The outreach services seek to take some of the simple interventions to the people, and refer cases as appropriate to its facility for specialized treatment. There is also poor participation of the target population in service delivery design and assessment.

o Needed: Implementation of the community strategy and participation of the community to improve access and use of health services in Meru County.

Human Resource for Health (HRH)

Human Resources for Health (HRH) in the county is fairly skilled in general, but the number in most cadres is below that needed to provide quality services. Nurses make up the bulk of the health care staff in Meru County Health, with 738 in total servicing currently.

The number of health workers consultants/specialists (in various fields of medicine) serving is very low to enable Meru County handle difficult cases effectively. There are only 16 consultants serving in the public sector in Meru County. The target will be to attract and retain adequate numbers of skilled staff in the key cadres; and achieve high staff satisfaction that ensures an annual retention rate of at least 90% in all major staff cadres. There is therefore need to develop strategies that ensure the attraction, recruitment and/or maintenance of staff to attain the desired staff to client/population ratio for quality service provision.

Adequate housing and attendant amenities provided to staff at their place of work or in any easily accessible and secure location can improve their motivation and performance. The Meru County Health Department has used the stimulus funds to improve the living quarters for staff at the health facilities and provided limited recreational facilities. This however remains work in progress, and more will be done during this current strategic plan period to both cater for the current unmet need and for the expanding staff ranks in line with anticipated growth to guarantee quality services for all. The Meru County Health Department will, during the current Strategic Plan period, undertake a limited task-time-motion study; and a mapping of the number, skills and location of various cadres of HRH to inform health staff needs quantification.

o Needed: Development and Implementation of an evidence-informed HRM Plan that en-sures Meru County has skilled HRH to deliver quality health services to residents.

Strategic Information

A health information system provides the needed evidence for decision-making; and serves four key functions: data i) generation, ii) compilation, iii) analysis and synthesis, and iv) communi-cation and use.

The health information system should collect data from health and other relevant sectors, anal-yse that data and ensure the overall quality, relevance and timeliness; and convert the data into information for health-related decision-making.

Appropriate dissemination and communication of data/evidence are therefore essential attributes of the health information system.

In Meru County, individual level data about the patient’s profile, health-care needs and treatment that serve as the basis for clinical decision-making is not up to standard; and there is also poor



storage of the data collected. This therefore complicates patient follow up. Health facility level data, both from aggregated facility level records and from administrative sources (such as drug procurement records) is captured minimally and not used widely by the health management teams to determine resource needs, guide purchasing decisions (for drugs, equipment and sup-plies) or support community outreach. Data quality is also poor, and on the most part, does not represent the services available to the population.

Meru County Health will strengthen the currently very weak gathering and use of strategic in-formation for planning and effective programmes implementation. Both regular monitoring and evaluation of projects/programmes; and research (including implementation research), are cur-rently very limited in Meru County. There is therefore need for the establishment of a responsive health information system in Meru County

The Meru County Health Department will also collaborate with teaching institutions and pro-vide grants to those seeking to provide evidence to support scale up of the current and initiation of new interventions as appropriate. Further, the results of such research will be published and shared widely to improve service standards and contribute to the available body of knowledge.

o Needed: development and implementation of: i) an elaborate plan to strengthen the Meru County Health Management Information System; and ii) Health Research Agenda to build the necessary evidence base.

Commodity Security

According to the WHO framework, a well-functioning health system ensures equitable access to essential medical products, vaccines and technologies of assured quality, safety, efficacy and cost- effectiveness, and their scientifically sound and cost-effective use. The health commodities used to facilitate the provision of health services in Meru County are supplied by Kenya Essen-tial Medicines and Supplies Agency (KEMSA). Prior to the transfer of health services to the County Government, the health facilities had virtual accounts and drawing rights that allowed them to receive and pay for commodities from KEMSA.

The number of skilled staff at the pharmacy department in most health facilities in Meru Coun-ty is very limited and in some instances a great drawback to quality service delivery. Lack of capacity to undertake demand forecasting, and timely acquisition and analysis of consumption data to facilitate demand forecasting and commodity procurement are partly to blame. This HRH gap needs to be addressed in earnest to ensure appropriate patient counselling and dispensing of medicines and other pharmaceutical commodities in line with acceptable standards. Meru County Health will recruit and retain skilled staffs, and have skills of others improved through training and mentorship.

.Adherence to standard operating procures (SOPs) for commodity receipt, storage, issuance and dispensing and reporting too have been weak at health facilities in Meru County. In addition, lack of adequate space at the work areas in the dispensing pharmacy (s) and warehouses/stores has been identified as a key gap; and which needs to be addressed to improve motivation and productivity of staff, service provision and the comfort of the clients waiting for services. Many of the pharmacies and warehouses lacks secure doors and windows, have poor raking and limited shelf-space; in addition to having sub-optimal ambient conditions (temperature and humidity control) for commodity storage.



To improve efficiency in service provision, Meru County Health will strengthen the number and skills of staff in the pharmacy department, provide adequate work-space in the dispensing phar-macy (s) and warehouses/stores, ensure timely acquisition and analysis of quality consumption data to facilitate demand forecasting and commodity procurement, and procure and maintain tools (including computers and attendant software) used in dispensing at the pharmacies and commodity management in the drug-stores. To ensure the derived demand is quantified to in-form procurement and provision of adequate commodities, regular demand forecasting meetings will be held with the user-departments especially the representatives from the Clinical Services (pharmacy, outpatient clinics, the wards and outreach).

o Needed: development and implementation of: i) an effective commodity security plan; and ii) pharmaceutical dispensing standards that improve the quality of health care ser-vices for residents of Meru County.

Health Financing

The financing arrangements for health services in Meru County do largely mirror those prevailing at the national level. The Government of Kenya contributes greatly to the development of infrastructure (facilities and attendant equipment), procurement and pro-vision of health commodities; and the training, recruitment and maintenance of the ma-jority of HRH in service today. The development partners and the County Government are the other key financiers of health services in Meru County. The private sector, em-ployer groups and individuals finance health services in Meru County through medical insurance and/or direct payment for services received especially at the non-public sector facilities. In general, the resources committed to finance the health care sector in Meru County and nationally today remains lower than those required to provide world-class health services for all.

Over the last thirty years donors (public and private-sector institutions, and individuals) have provided both tied and non-tied funding for public service oriented activities. While both funding models remain in operation, the former is getting dominant and therefore those seeking financing are expected to develop specific proposals that state clearly the targets (programme performance indicators and attendant budgets) for consideration by donors, national governments and/or cor-porations or individuals in the private sector.

To ensure sustainable financing of its activities, the Meru County Health Department will de-velop and effectively implement well thoughtout and/or innovative resource mobilization, allo-cation and management strategies. To obtain sustainable funding over the long term, the Senior Leaders of the Meru County Health ought to embrace fundraising as a team sport to ensure de-velopment of responsive proposals that meet the donor needs and interests or build the requisite capacity to generate our own revenue from Income Generating Activities (IGA). Further, the Meru County Health Department will develop strategic partnerships with individuals and insti-tutions in Europe, North America and on the African continent to mobilize resources to finance the implementation of its activities to improve health outcomes. A clear and effective mechanism to coordinate these teams will be developed.

o Needed: The development and Implementation of an Innovative Resource Mo-bilization and Management Strategy to ensure all planned Meru County Health projects/programmes are sustainably funded.

6.6.6StrategiestoAddressOverallGaps,NeedsandOpportunitiesIdentifiedinthe

Health Sector in Meru County

To address the identified challenges/needs and exploit opportunities presented by the external environment, Meru County Health will use the following main strategies:

Leverage on Existing Structures and Systems

The Meru County Government has inherited a fairly functional health system. Meru County Health will review the existing structures and systems at various levels with a view of retaining what works and exploring more effective alternatives for those that do not.

Mobilise Resources to Support Strategies

The County Health Department will develop a forward looking, innovative Resource Mobili-zation and Management Strategy that seeks to ensure sustainable financing of the planned ac-tivities. This will seek to guarantee the flow current resources into the health sector from the national government and other key partners/stakeholders; and to develop new sources of financ-ing including via tapping into emerging markets and/or developing our own income generating



activities. Better financial planning, allocation, use and accounting of the obligated resources too will improve the available resources for investment in the priority projects.

Create and/or Strengthen Strategic Partnerships

The sector will develop new and/or strengthen existing partnerships with the National Gov-ernment, the Development Partners, Implementers, the Community and other stakeholders as appropriate to further our set objectives.

Creating Synergy with Other Sectors to Deliver Optimal Health Services

Meru County Health recognizes health and wellness can only be fully realized if other sectors contribute their efforts and resources too. The production and consumption of safe and quality foodstuffs (of all kinds) has impact on health outcomes. Improving literacy levels among County residence has a huge correlation with their ability to understand key health messages, wellness and disease states; and therefore their own contribution to promotive and preventive health in-terventions, and utilization of available curative services. Further, improving the road network facilitates faster movement of people and enables more residents to access health care services.

Support Research to Inform Sector Decisions

Effective and sustainable interventions are those supported by compelling evidence. The exis-tence of compelling evidence does motivate/inspire many to action including in resource com-mitment and support for planned activities. Meru County Health will develop a Research Agenda and facilitate those who seek to undertake research to support programme implementation and/or contribute to the existing body of knowledge. Meru County Health will therefore deliberate-ly promote Operational and/or Implementation Research to ensure its projects/programmes are evidence informed.

6.6.9 Sustainability of Interventions

Meru County Health will involve the target community and other key stakeholders in the design (identification of needs, planning) and implementation of projects/programmes to ensure buy-in and enduring support for sustainability. The early seeking of concurrence on the identified needs, the appropriate solutions, the approach and cost of implementation, and indicators of perfor-mance and feedback to the various stakeholders on progress will go a long way to ensuring the chosen projects/programmes are supported for timely completion and enduring service to the residents of Meru County.

Every one, whether individual, interest groups (CSOs, Academia, Friends of Meru County in Diaspora, etc.), communities, the National Government, and/or the Development Partners will be encouraged to partner with Meru County Health and Government to facilitate the realization of our stated intent to have: Meru county residents have access to and utilize affordable quality health services to improve health outcomes.


a). Implementation Framework

The Sector-specific Strategic Plan will be operationalized via the development and implementa-tion of a fully costed Annual Operational Plan (AOP)/Framework.

b). Policy, Legislative and Regulatory Framework

The County Government will enact specific policies, laws and regulations to guide the health sector.

c). Monitoring and Evaluation Framework

The effective implementation, monitoring and evaluation of public sector interventions go along to ensuring the achievement of the set objectives in service of the target population. Data acqui-sition, analysis and use of the evidence generated for planning and programmes implementation is rather weak and needs to be strengthened through investment to create an integrated and ef-fective M&E system. A revamped County Planning Coordination, Monitoring and Evaluation Unit will offer the required leadership in the process. The matrix describing in detail the priority projects/activities, costs, sources of funds, implementation timeframes, monitoring indicators, implementing agencies and sources of data, will be developed as a part of the Annual Operation-al Plan for each year.

The Overall Meru County Health Sector M&E Framework covering the first 5 years of the CIDP is as highlighted below:

6.7 Social Protection, Culture and Recreation


The Social Protection, Culture and Recreation Sector is made up of the following inter-related sub-sectors: Sports, National Heritage and Culture, Social Development, Special Programmes, Children and, Youth Affairs and Gender.

Sports within Meru County has been in existence though lowly and poorly harnessed and so many talents are untapped. With regard to National Heritage and Culture, Meru County is rich with diverse cultural practices exhibited through songs and dances, traditional beliefs, artworks, culinary arts, artefacts, cultural sites and the Njuri Ncheke council of elders which is a unique and recognized form of government both nationally and internationally. There exist a museum at the county which if fully equipped which can act as tourist attraction besides being an education-al centre on traditional values to our children at both primary and secondary schools. There is one public library and several community libraries at the Sub-county level that require promotion, equipping and digitalization.

Some of the recreational facilities as outlined in schedule four of the county government Act include theatres, parks, casinos, video shows, cinema and racecourses which are non-existent in Meru County. The County has one officially known park Mwenda-Antu park, which is under construction. In terms of Social development, registration of groups is underway as well as sup-port to the aged. Assistance to the People with disabilities (PWDs) and older persons has been minimal and need to be scaled up to reach a wider range. There are children’s department in the county and sub-counties but not adequately facilitated to handle children matters.

• (iv) Feedback and Response MechanismsThrough the media e.g. engage the public in a programme where they can raise issues

• Organised public forums at the various levels e.g. the village, ward, Sub-county and the county

• Use of write ups like journals and magazines

• Development of tools for M & E like interview schedules and questionnaires

• Meetings with MoE officials, TSC staff and the Teachers to get feedback

• During school district and county education days

Visit to schools and polytechnics

6.9 Infrastructure


This is one of the major sectors that influence competitiveness of the County. Infrastructure development is basically through direct investment by the government e.g. roads construction, electrification, transport, housing etc. The County must enhance its competitiveness by investing in infrastructural development. The County has poor road network, especially the feeder roads within the wards.

• Poor road network is responsible for the underdevelopment in the County. For instance, the tourism potential of the County is not fully exploited owing to poor road network. The sector involves the following sub-sectors:-

• Roads

• Transport

• Energy

• Public Works

Housing

6.9.2 Sector Vision, Mission, and Objectives

Vision

A model county in transport and infrastructural development.



Mission

Provide safe, quality and adequate transport and infrastructure facilities for social-economic development.

• Sector Objectives

• To develop and maintain a high quality road network linking all corners of the County to enhance economic development.

• To promote and develop the use of alternative sources of energy such as wind and solar energy.

• To increase access to safe and decent housing facilities for the County residents through provision of housing, development of policy and regulation.

• To develop and maintain world class Public Works facilities such as Airports within our County.

• To collaborate with local Universities and research institutions to develop alternative low cost construction methods for infrastructural projects

• To develop and manage the county infrastructure in a sustainable manner

• To create an effective leading infrastructure network

To formulate policies and by laws to guide and regulate the infrastructural sector.




A. SWOT Analysis

Strengths WeaknessIncreased funding from government;

Coordinated planning among the sub-sectors;

Technical staff available;

Adequate labour force;

Availability of cheap road construction tech-nology elsewhere that can be borrowed

Availability of local universities with whom we can partner to spearhead research;

Inadequate technical staff;

Lack of adequate construction materials e.g. murram;

Insufficient funding;

Scarcity of construction machinery;

Limited capacity for local contractors;

Lack of cooperation between the Infrastruc-ture Sub-sectors;

High cost of project costs;

Poor facilities maintenance regimes;

Poor road design


Availability of fuel levy fund;

Road mapping and classification;

Low rural electrification coverage;

Well educated population where manpower can be drawn;

Ability to acquire new roads construction equipment;

High cost of construction materials;

Encroachment of road reserves;

High regulatory compliance cost e.g. NEMA fees;

Lack of way leaves;

(iii) Framework for Monitoring and Evaluation

The implementation, monitoring and evaluation mechanism of public resources plays great role in ensuring that the objectives of the project/programme are realised. It ensures that the con-strained resources are used to realize maximum benefits. It therefore means that monitoring and evaluation require to be strengthened. Collaboration among various development agencies namely the donor agencies, CBOs, NGOs, the government and other stakeholders is necessary through strong networking system. The County Planning Coordination, Monitoring and Eval-uation Unit will offer the required leadership in the process.

6.10 Water and Sanitation


Water and sanitation sector involves the provision of domestic water to households and commu-nity water points in towns and rural areas. It also works on provision of the sewerage services. The sector supplies safe and enough quantities of water to areas where there is a service provider. In rural areas there are various community based water supply projects that compliment the ser-vices provided by main stream water service providers.

The County has eleven permanent rivers with the major one being the Kathita River, a tributary of River Tana. The County also has 12 shallow wells, 30 protected springs, two water pans, 16 dams and 105 boreholes. These form the major sources of water for domestic use and irrigation.

The County has three major water service providers:

Mewass operating in Meru town and its environs.

Imethawasco operating in the rural areas and other towns.

Domwass operating various schemes in the county rural areas.

The average distance to the nearest water point in 2009 was between 1.5 and 8 Km. This has however been reduced following the use of CDF funds to finance community water projects with the aim of bringing water closer to the people. The number of households with access to piped water stands at 21,920 while households with access to portable water are 6,744. This contrasts sharply with the abundance of water as only 2 percent of the population has access to piped water.

6.11 Financial Services, Trade, Co-operatives and Enterprise Development


The trade sub-sector is responsible for the promotion of orderly growth of trade in the county through provision of business development services and trade regulation. It is also responsible for promotion of investment and for implementing the national trade policy at county level.

The co-operative sub-sector is responsible for procurement (especially the farm inputs and allied services), marketing services, member education, mobilization of savings, loan disbursement and sale of consumer goods. The county has high agricultural potential which has attracted various commercial banks and other financial institutions. There are sixteen commercial banks, eight microfinance institutions, four village banks and a num-ber of SACCOs. The strong presence of the various financial institutions indicates that the county has high potential for commercial services.

The Central Bank of Kenya has a currency centre in Meru town which acts as a banker to the commercial banks operating in the county. Major insurance firms operating in the county include APA Insurance, UAP Insurance, CIC Insurance among others. There are several SACCOs whose membership ranges from farmers to salaried employees such as YETU Sacco, Capital Sacco, Solutions Sacco, Ntiminyakiru Sacco among others; which offer credit to its members.

The sub-sectors under this sector are:

Trade.Co-operatives.

6.14..4.6 Feedback and Response Mechanisms

• Administering questionnaires (Customer satisfaction surveys)

Public hearings and meetings

6.15 Tourism Sector


Tourism is about people travelling to and staying in places outside their usual environment for not more than one consecutive year for leisure, business and other purposes. Tourism sector is divided into three main sub-sectors, namely, main tourist attractions, hospitality facilities and wildlife.

6.15.2 Sector Vision and Mission

Vision

A Preferred tourist destination for all

Mission

To promote and preserve wildlife, heritage, culture, sports, artefacts, shrines, environment, tra-ditional foods, security, hospitality, good and welcoming tourist facilities including hotels and lodges.

6.15.3 Sector Objectives

• Tap the potential tourism sub-sector development of the county

• To promote wildlife tourism

Enhance hospitality facilities


The tourism industry is fairly developed in the county with Meru National Park being the ma-jor tourist centre. The Lewa Downs ranch which is privately owned attracts tourists and hosts competitive sports like the cross country, rhino charge and marathons. The county also has Mt. Kenya which is a major tourist destination. The diverse culture and heritage sites like the tra-ditional worship places of the ‘Nchuri Ncheke’ elders among others are another form of tourist attraction. There is a variety of wildlife such as white elephant, baboons, giraffe, gazelle, buffa-los, rhino, cheetah, zebras and different birds’ species. These wildlife species are mainly found in the gazetted game parks and forests such as the Meru National Park, Mt. Kenya National Park and Imenti forest.

The hotel industry has approximately 2,500 bed occupancy capacity comprising one to three star hotels. Most hotels are classified as bars and restaurants or unclassified. Tourist class hotels are mostly found within the tourist attraction sites, mainly the Meru National Park, most of which are privately owned.



A. SWOT Analysis

Strengths Weaknesses• Availability of hospitality facilities e.g. hotels,

motels, resorts, pubs and lodges

• Diverse sub-cultures and heritage

• Brand name (at the slopes of Mt. Kenya)

• Poorly managed hospitality facilities

• Lack of skilled people on tourism management

• No tourism policy document

• Lack of marketing programmesOpportunities Threats• Existence of wildlife

• Favourable climate

• Accessibility

• Isiolo Resort City Project

• LAPPSET

• Proximity to the Airport at Isiolo and Airstrips in Gaitu and in the Meru National Park

• Poaching

• Human-wildlife conflict

• Inter-communal conflicts

• Encroachment of tourist attractions

• Forest fires

6.15.5 Stakeholder Analysis

Stakeholders Roles/Responsibilities National government min-istries and agencies and departments – Ministry of Trade & Tourism and KWS

• Ensure sustainable use of resources within parks and game re-serves

• Formulation of regulatory policies necessary to guide invest-ment and development of the sector

• Provision of technical advice

CHAPTER EIGHT

IMPLEMENTATION, MONITORING AND EVALUATION FRAMEWORK

8.1 Introduction

This section presents the monitoring and evaluation framework that will be used to implement and track progress on implementation of projects and programmes at the county level. It will also highlight the roles and the responsibilities of various stakeholders in the implementation, monitoring and evaluation of County Integrated Development Plan. The County will put in place a County Monitoring and Evaluation system to serve the needs of the County Govern-ment, while complimenting the National M & E system. This will be conducted through County Integrated Monitoring and Evaluation System (CIMES) whose main aim will be to improve the effectiveness and quality of tracking of implementation of various development policies, strategies and programmes. To ensure that there is a clear way of measuring performance, the County will develop a Performance Management Plan that will see that all commitments made in the CIDP are translated into performance contracts with public officers in the county.

8.2 Institutional Framework for Monitoring and Evaluation

The Meru County Government, under the leadership of the Governor, will provide strategic leadership, through development and implementation of supportive environment, policies and programmes. During this process, stakeholders including the Governor, County Executive Committee, County Assembly, County Public Service Board , County Treasury, private sectors and the public will be involved and the roles of the major stakeholders are as outlined below. The roles are as provided in the constitution and the relevant laws.

Governor

• Provide leadership in the county’s governance, development and implementation; lead-ership to the county executive committee and administration based on the county poli-cies and plans

• Promote democracy, good governance, unity, cohesion and peace and order within the county;

• Be accountable for the management and use of the county resources;

• Promote and facilitate citizen participation in the development of policies and plans, and delivery of services in the county.



County Executive Committee (CEC)

• Prepare proposed legislation for consideration by the county assembly

• Implement, within the county, national legislation to the extent that the legislation re-quires

• Manage and coordinate the functions of the county administration and its departments; and

• Perform any other functions conferred on it by this Constitution or national legislation.

• Provide the county assembly with full and regular reports on matters relating to the county.

County Public Service Board (CPSB)

• Appoint persons to hold or act in offices of the county public service and facilitate the development of coherent, integrated human resource

• Exercise disciplinary control over, and remove, persons holding or acting in those offic-es as provided for under this Part

• Prepare regular reports for submission to the county assembly on the execution of the functions of the Board

• Advise county government on implementation and monitoring of the national perfor-mance management system in counties

County Treasury

• Develop and implement financial and economic policies in the county

• Preparing the annual budget for the county and coordinating the preparation of esti-mates of revenue and expenditure of the county government and co-ordinating the im-plementation of the budget of the county government

• Mobilize resources for funding the budgetary requirements of the county government and putting in place mechanisms to raise revenue and resources

• Manage the county government’s public debt and other obligations and developing a framework of debt control for the county

• Maintain proper accounts and other records in respect of the County Revenue Fund, the County Emergencies Fund and other public funds administered by the county govern-ment



• Monitor the county government’s entities to ensure compliance with this Act and effec-tive management of their funds, efficiency and transparency and, in particular, proper accountability for the expenditure of those funds

Public- Private Partnership Forum

• Formulate policy guidelines on public private partnerships

• Ensure that all projects are consistent with the national priorities specified in the relevant policy on public private partnerships

• Approve project proposals submitted to it by a contracting authority

• Formulate or approve standards, guidelines and procedures for awarding contracts and standardized bid documents

• Review the legal, institutional and regulatory framework of public private partnerships

The Public

They include the citizens, civil society organizations, and all persons residing in the county (see County Government Act Section 2 on Interpretation). The role of the public will be:-

• To participate in service delivery through organized forums

• Provide feedback on the quality of services provided

• To initiative individually or in organized groups monitoring of programme implementa-tion

• To provide alternative ideas of how better to provide services

8.3 Monitoring and Evaluation Framework

Implementation, Monitoring and Evaluation will be managed at the departmental level and coordinated by the county planning unit. The public will be engaged through these structures in monitoring and evaluating the performance of the county. The overall purpose for Monitoring and Evaluation in Meru County will be:

8.3.1 To facilitate informed Decision-making for Improvement

Evaluation will be conducted with project improvement and policy enlightenment hence acting as “decision-oriented” evaluation. This will provide valuable insights into how the project is operating, the extent to which it is serving the intended beneficiaries, its strengths and weak-nesses, its cost – effectiveness and potentially productive directions for the future. This evalu-ation will also provide the information for decision – thus helping to set priorities, guides the allocation – of resources, facilities the modification and refinement of project structures and activities; and signal the need for additional personnel & resources. Finally, it is also intended to determine a change of course for a project.



8.3.2 Evaluation for Effect – Impact Assessment

This will be done to take stock of what has been done. It will attempt to show the cause – effect relationships between the project activities and the change that may have occurred. It will also show how well the project objectives are being achieved or have been achieved with the inten-tion to feedback its findings into future planning. This will entail measuring and judging the actual results of development projects in relation to the planned outcomes.

8.3.3 Evaluation for Accountability

All projects will be proactive by planning for evaluation right from the initial stages. Project planning accountability will entail an effort to meet the diverse information interests and expec-tations of all those who have a stake in a project – e.g. beneficiaries, managers, staff, donors, public at large.

8.3.4 Evaluation as an Educational (learning) Process

This will seek to maximize on people’s participation. This evaluation will be a human centered assessment of the extent of people’s participation, how well participation is doing and what affect the project is having intended beneficiaries. This is guided by the notion that to live is to learn, and to neglect lessons from life experience is to waste the life itself. The county will undertake two types of evaluations for various projects namely mid-term and end of project evaluations: Mid-term will be undertaken to review progress and propose alterations to project design during the remaining period of implementation while end of project evaluation will be conducted at the completion of the project period. The specific types and timing of evaluations for various projects will be determined at the design and planning stage of each project. The matrix for implementation, monitoring and evaluation is detailed in each of the sector plans in chapter 6. The matrix details the names of priority projects, costs, timeframes, monitoring indi-cators, monitoring tools, implementing agencies, source of funds and implementation status for the various sectors. For effectiveness, participatory methods and tools will be used throughout the project stages from design to evaluation. These include evaluation; transect walks, Focused Group Discussions, and Observation.
