FOREWORD
The Isiolo County Integrated Development Plan (CIDP) covers the period 2013 to 2017 and
outlines the policies, programmes and projects that the Isiolo County Government plans to
implement over the five year period. The CIDP further highlights the programmes and projects to
be implemented by the Isiolo County Government, the private sector, and those to planned for
implementation in partnership with the National Government, Development Partners, NGOs, and
the private sector (PPPs).
The Programmes and projects to be implemented under this CIDP have been informed by
priorities identified through consultations carried out at the grassroot and community level and
through stakeholder consultations at the county level involving government officials, private sector
representatives, representatives of NGOs, youth and women organizations and professionals
from various fields. The Programmes and Projects of this CIDP have also been aligned to the
policies and Plans of the National Second Medium Term Plan 2013-2017 and the various national
sector plans. Chapter Seven of this CIDP outlines the monitoring and evaluation framework which
will involve all stakeholders to ensure that the programmes and projects are implemented in a
timely and cost effective manner.
This CIDP will also be complemented by the Isiolo County Spatial Plan which will delineate the
land set aside for implementation of the projects outlined in this CIDP. I welcome our development
partners, NGOs, foreign and local investors to partner with the Isiolo County Government to
ensure successful implementation of this CIDP and state my assurance to our partners and
investors that the Isiolo County Government will provide the necessary support to ensure that we
succeed in implementing the projects outlined in this CIDP. I take this opportunity to thank the
Isiolo residents for finding time to participate in the grass root consultations and their commitment
and input to this Plan. I will also like to thank all those who contributed one way or the other to the
preparation of the Plan. Finally, I would like to thank members the Isiolo Government County
Executive Committee for their dedication and guidance throughout the preparation of this CIDP. I
therefore call upon all of us to rally behind this Plan so that we can all work together to ensure
success in its implementation so that at the end of the five years we can all look back and see
tangible results and significant improvement in the welfare of Isiolo County residents.
Dr Adhi Godana
Governor, Isiolo County.

INTRODUCTION
The promulgation of a new constitution in 2010 ushered in a new era in Kenya’s system of
governance and management of political, economic and social affairs. Chapter 11 of the Kenyan
constitution created a two-tier level of government leading to creation of 47 counties led by
elected county governments. It has also given priority to participatory integrated development
planning as the foundation upon which the county budgets will be based on.
The County Integrated development Plan (CIDP) is a five year plan prepared by the county
government through wide stakeholder participation to provide an overall framework for
development. The main purpose of the CIDP is to guide, harmonize and facilitate development
within the county by providing a framework upon which all stakeholders in the county will base
their programmes and activities.
Chapter 1: Chapter one of the CIDP provides a detailed background of the county; population;
resource endowments; main economic activities; major development challenges and constraints;
previous development initiatives and their achievements.
Chapter 2: Chapter two describes the County’s developmental strategies based on the
international development goals, the Vision 2030, the Second Medium Term Plan 2013-17, and
other national development policies and plans. In addition, it proposes specific policies and
strategies that the county government plans to use in addressing the challenges and shortcomings
of previous development initiatives.The Chapter also includes the strategies to mitigate the effects
of cross-cutting issues such as climate change, environmental degradation, HIV/AIDS, and
gender inequality among others.
Chapter 3: Chapter three describes the spatial framework within which development projects and
programmes will be implemented and the interconnection among the sectors and regions.
Chapter 4: Chapter four describes the linkages of the County Integrated Development Plan with
the county sector plans, county spatial plans, sub-county plans, national plans and international
commitments made by the government such the MDGS.
Chapter 5: Chapter five sets out the implementation matrix and identifies the institutional
framework and organizational flow required for implementing the County Integrated Development
Plan
Chapter 6: Chapter six outlines the resource mobilization framework, mechanisms and strategies
for revenue raising, asset management, financial management and capital financing.
Chapter 7: Chapter seven provides details of programmes and projects planned for
implementation in the county detailing the strategic priorities, performance indicators and budgets.
Chapter 8: Chapter eight outlines the implementation, monitoring and evaluation framework of
the Plan’s programmes and projects in compliance with Section 108(1) (c) of the County
Government Act.

constituencies. Isiolo River originates from Mount Kenya and drains into Ewaso Ngiro River. Kinna
and Bisanadi rivers are found in the Southern part of the county and drains into the Tana River.
Likiundu and Liliaba originate from Nyambene hills and drains into Ewaso Ngiro North River.
The county has a combination of metamorphic rocks and other superficial rock deposits. Tertiary
rocks (Olive Basalt) are found in the northern parts of the county, where oil exploration has been
going on. The areas covered with tertiary marine sediments that have a high potential for ground
water harvesting.
1.2.2 Ecological Conditions
The county is classified into three ecological zones namely Semi-Arid, Arid and the very Arid.
Semi Arid zone covers part of Wabera Ward, Bulla Pesa Ward and some parts of Burat Ward in
Isiolo North Constituency. It also covers some Southern part of Kinna Ward in Isiolo South
Constituency. This zone covers five percent of the total area of the county and receives rainfall
ranging between 400 – 650 mm annually. The relatively high rainfall is due to influence of Mount
Kenya and Nyambene Hills in the neighbouring Meru County. The vegetation in this zone is mainly
thorny bush with short grass. Arid zone covers Oldo/Nyiro, Ngare Mara and some parts of Burat
Wards in Isiolo North Constituency and whole of Garbatulla Ward and northern part of Kinna Ward
in Isiolo South Constituency. The zone covers 30 percent of the total area of the county. Rainfall
received here ranges between 300 mm and 350 mm annually and supports grassland and few
shrubs.
Severe arid zone covers Chari, Cherab, parts of Oldo/Nyiro Ward in Isiolo North Constituency and
Sericho Ward in Isiolo South Constituency. These areas account for 65 percent of total area of the
county. Rainfall received here ranges between 150 and 250 mm annually. The area is barren and
very hot and dry most of the year.
1.2.3 Climatic Conditions
The county is hot and dry in most months in the year with two rainy seasons. The short rains
season occurs in October and November while the long rain occurs between March and May. The
rainfall received in the County is usually scarce and unreliable posting an annual average of 580.2
mm. The wettest months are November with an average of 143 mm of rainfall and April with an
average of 149 mm of rainfall.
The erratic and unreliable rainfall cannot support crop farming which partly explains the high food
insecurity and food poverty levels recorded in the county. Rain fed crops are grown in Bulla Pesa,
Wabera and Kinna wards where the black cotton soil retains moisture long enough to make crops
mature.
High temperatures are recorded in the county throughout the year, with variations in some places
due to differences in altitude. The mean annual temperature in the county is 29 degrees
centigrade. The county records more than nine hours of sunshine per day and hence has a huge
potential for harvesting and utilization of solar energy. Strong winds blow across the county
3
throughout the year peaking in the months of July and August. The strong winds provide a huge
potential for wind generated energy.
1.3 Administrative and Political Units
1.3.1 Administrative subdivision (Sub-Counties, Wards, locations)

1.4 Demographic Features
1.4.1 Population Size and Composition
The county’s population stood at 143,294 as per the 2009 Population Census comprising of
73,694 males and 69,600 females. The population was projected to rise to 159,797 by the end of
2012 and 191,627 by 2017. The population consists largely of Cushites communities (Oromo-
speaking Boran and Sakuye) and Turkana, Samburu, Meru, Somali and other immigrant
communities from other parts of the country. The planned massive capital investments under
development of the LAPSSET Corridor including International Airport, Resort City, and oil
storage facilities are expected to boost rapid population growth in the county.

P1= P0*EXP (County Pop Growth Rate*Y) Where Y=No. of Years
Tables 4 and 5 shows the population projection by age cohort. The projections indicate that the
young population (0-14) account for 44.4 percent of the population in 2012 while the aged 65 and
above account for 3.6 percent. Both groups add up 48 percent of the population giving a
dependency ratio of 100:187. The large numbers of dependants to the working age population
leads to low savings and places a strain on the existing health and education facilities. Therefore
appropriate measures will be taken to mitigate this.

Under 1 year: Data from the 2009 population census shows that there were 4,539 children in this
age cohort. This population was projected to increase to 5,062 in 2012 and 6,070 in 2017. The
county recorded infant mortality rate of 42 per 1000 (MOH Annual Report, 2012) compared to the
national rate of 43.6. This has been made possible by immunization and children vaccination rate
of 90 percent and 83.4 percent respectively. The county will however strive to achieve 100 percent
rates of immunization and children vaccination to reduce infant mortality to the targeted 35 per
1000 by 2015. On account of this development, the population of the county is projected to
increase by 18 percent over the period of five years (2012-2017) due the declining infant mortality
rate. This calls for an increase in reproductive, maternal and child health care services.
Age Group Under 5 years: This age cohort comprised of 23,303 children in 2009 and is projected
to increase to 25,987 by the year 2012 and 31,163 by 2017.This points to the need to train more
manpower especially for ECD (early childhood development) and for the education sector as a
whole. Increased investment in Infrastructure development in the education sector is also needed
to cater for increase in the number of children. This population is also vulnerable to diseases and
therefore immunization programmes should be stepped up for this group.
Age group 15-49 years: The total population of this age group was projected to increase to
35, 842 in 2012 rising to 39,970 by 2015 and 42,982 by 2017.
Age group 15-64 years (labour force): This is the economically active group of the county.
According to the 2009 census the county had a total labour force of 74,425 comprising of 36,137
females and 38,288 males. This number is expected to rise to 82,996 people in 2012 and 99,529
in 2017 representing a 33.7 percent increase by the end of 2017. The bulk of this labour force is
either unskilled or semi -skilled and mainly engaged in livestock activities. This calls for increased
investments in vocational and technical training, middle colleges and universities to provide the
requisite training and enhance skills for job creation to absorb the ever increasing workforce.
Age Group 65+ years (Aged): This group represents the number of aged population in the
County. The aged population was 5,228 by 2009 and is projected to increase to 6,991
8
representing a 34 percent increase by 2017. This points to the need to expand health care
facilities for the aged and the Old Persons Cash Transfer Fund in order to benefit the elderly.
1.4.2 Population Projections by Urban Centres
Acording to the 2009 population census, The county’s urban centres had a total population of
59,327. Isiolo town had the largest population accounting for over 74 percent of the total urban
population. The least populated was Garbatulla urban centre which accounted for only six percent
of urban population. Table 6 below shows that urban population is project to increase by 22
percent by the year 2015 and 30 percent by 2017. Isiolo town is expected to experience a very
high urban population growth given its upgrade to a resort city, an international airport expected to
be fully operational by 2015, and implementation of other projects under the LAPSSET transport
corridor. This calls for comprehensive planning for existing urban centers and towns and
upcoming ones.

Table 8 below shows the projected populations for Isiolo North and South constituencies. The
projections indicate that Isiolo North constituency will remain the most populated constituency in
the county due to upgrade of Isiolo town to resort city status with a projected population of
133,966 by 2017, up from 117,712 in 2012. On the other hand the population of Isiolo South
constituency is projected to increase from 47,463 in 2012 to 57, 662 by 2017.

1.5 Human Development Indicators
The human development index (HDI) is normally reported in the UNDP Human Development
Reports (HDR) and in Country HDR Reports. It is a composite index measuring average
achievement in three basic dimensions of human development health and longevity (as measured
by life expectancy at birth), education (measured by adult literacy and combined primary,
secondary, and tertiary enrolments), and living standard (measured by GDP per capita in
purchasing power parity terms). Achievement in each area is measured by how far a country has
gone in attaining the following goal: life expectancy of 85 years, 100 percent adult literacy and
enrolments, and real GDP per capita of $40,000 in purchasing power parity terms.
This approach examines broader human development issues and is concerned with both building
up human capabilities and with using those human capabilities fully. It underlines the expansion of
opportunities so that the disadvantaged can do more for themselves through economic, social and
political empowerment. It recognizes that there is no automatic link between economic growth and
human development. Economic growth is necessary but not sufficient to enlarge human choices.
Economic growth provides resources to support health care, education, and advancement in other
Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). In turn, achievements in human development make
critical contribution in assuring quality human capital to spur economic growth via productivity
gains.
10
National human development reports provides a tool for analysis, reflecting people’s priorities,
strengthening national capacities, engaging national partners, identifying inequities and measuring
progress at country level. The basic objectives of human development reports are to raise public
awareness and trigger action on critical human development concerns, strengthen national
statistical and analytic capacity to assess and promote people-centred development; and shape
policies and programmes by providing options and broad recommendations based on concrete
analysis.
One of the main objectives under the Kenya’s economic blue print, Vision 2030, is to provide a
high quality of life for all Kenyans. Article 27 of the Constitution of Kenya (2010) recognizes that
measures should be put in place to encourage affirmative action programmes and policies to
address past inequalities. Economic and social rights to all are also recognized in Article 43.
These include the right to health care services, adequate housing, and sanitation, adequate food
of acceptable quality, clean and safe water and appropriate social security to vulnerable groups in
society.
The 6th Kenya Human Development Report of 2009 introduced a new measure for youth
development in Kenya, the Youth Development Index (YDI). The index was at 0.5817 nationally
but also depicted variations across the regions. The index is a composite of education, income and
survivorship (health) dimensions. The constitution requires measures to be undertaken to ensure
the youth access relevant education and training, have opportunities to participate in political,
social, economic activities, and access to employment as well as protection from harmful cultural
practices.
The major development challenges in the county include poor infrastructure, general insecurity,
unsecure land tenure, poor education, unemployment and drought. These basic enablers of
development is holding the back the county and deterring investment, undermining productive
potential and frustrating local development initiatives. Table 9 below compares national human
development indicators with those of the county.

The Gender Inequality Index (GII)
Gender Inequality Index reflects gender-based disadvantage in three dimensions: reproductive
health, empowerment and the labour market. The index shows the loss in potential human
development due to inequality between female and male achievements in these dimensions. It
varies between 0, when women and men fare equally and 1, where one gender fares as poorly as
possible in all measured dimensions.
11
Kenya has an overall GII of 0.651 (Draft 7th Human Development Report). This however, masks
regional disparities with counties located in Arid and Semi Arid Lands (ASALS) including Isiolo
County having high Gender Inequality Indices. In addition, there are certain groups which are more
likely to experience poverty. These vulnerable groups include children living in poor households,
the disabled and the youth. Improving equity in gender issues and reducing gender disparities will
benefit all sectors and thus contribute to sustainable economic growth, poverty reduction and
social injustices.
The policies, programmes and projects that will be implemented over the five year period of this
CIDP are geared to achieve improvements in all the three indiactors, namely HDI, YDI and GII
and in other indicators of development to ensure that all segments of society in the county are
enabled and enjoy improved living standards and quality of life.
1.6 Infrastructure
1.6.1 Road and Rail Network, Airports and Airstrips
The county has a road network of 975.5 km, out of which only 34 km are bituminised. Gravel and
earth surfaced roads account for 22 percent and 75 percent of the total road surface respectively.
All the earth surface roads are impassable during the wet season and there is an urgent need for
continuous upgrading of these roads to all weather roads standards.
Figure 4: section of paved (Bitumized) Road along Silo Moyale road
The County has 5 Airstrips. Isiolo Airstrips is in the process of being upgraded into an international
Airport as envisaged in the Kenya Vision 2030. The first phase of 1.4 km runway has been
completed. The second phase which includes construction of modern passenger terminus to
handle over 600,000 passengers annually and modern car parks are ongoing and set for
completion in the year 2015.
12
Figure 5: Completed 1.4km runway in the first Phase of Isiolo international
1.6.2 Posts and Telecommunications: Post Offices, Mobile Telephony,
Landline
The only post office in the County is situated in Isiolo town and a sub-post office in Garbatulla
urban centre. There are about 164 telephone connections (landlines) in the County. Around eight
percent (2,090 km2) of the county have mobile network coverage leaving about 92 percent of the
County without mobile phone network coverage. An important development goal is therefore to
lincrease mobile network coverage in the county so that communication could be improved to
better support social and economic activities.
1.6.3 Financial Institutions: Banks, SACCOs and Micro Finance Institutions
There are six Commercial Banks, two Micro-Finance Institutions, and one SACCO and all located
in Isiolo town. The Commercial Banks are: Kenya Commercial Bank, Equity, K-Rep, Cooperative
Bank, Barclays, and Consolidated Bank. The micro finance institutions are: Faulu Kenya and
Kenya Women Finance. Isiolo Mwalimu SACCO operates in the county. Over 70 percent of
households are excluded from financial services. Isiolo South Constituency residents rely on
financial services in Mau town in Meru County.
1.6.4 Education Institutions: Primary and Secondary Schools, Polytechnics, Colleges,
and Universities
The County has 142 public ECD centres and 29 private ones; 115 primary schools of which 93 are
public while 22 are private; and 13 public and 2 private secondary schools. There are no
established colleges or universities in the County but only satellite learning classes for university of
Nairobi and Mt Kenya University offering some few courses. In view of the projected increase in
the young population, there is therefore need to establish more primary and secondary schools,
13
modern polytechnics and a university campus to meet the county’s requirements for educated
and technical manpower.
1.6.5 Energy Access (Main Sources of Energy, Electricity Coverage)
The county’s main source of energy is wood fuel. Over 70 percent of the households rely on fire
wood as their main source of power. This has led to over-harvesting of trees primarily for charcoal
causing extensive land degradation in the county. Of the 31,326 households in the county, only
2,500 have access to electricity. 85 percent of the trading centres, most schools and health
facilities are not connected with electricity. Provision of clean sources of alternative energy will be
critical in slowing down the cutting of trees. It will further save the time spent especially by women
and girls in fetching wood fuel for domestic purposes.
1.6.6 Markets and Urban Centres
There are seven major livestock markets in the county situated in Isiolo, Garbatulla, Kinna,
Modogashe, Merti and Oldo/Nyiro. The main livestock traded include cattle, goats, sheep and
camels. Buyers come from Nairobi, Meru, and as far as the coastal region of Kenyan. There is
only one major town in the county; Isiolo which serves as the county’s administrative
headquarters. The other upcoming urban centres are: Garbatulla, Modogashe, Kinna, Merti and
Sericho.
1.6.7 Housing Types
Most of the houses are constructed of mud, grass and wood. These dwellings are called
“manyata” and are temporary in nature. A total of 9,850 of manyatas are made of mud and sticks
walls while 5,491 are made up of grass and sticks walls. Permanent housing structures are only
found in Isiolo town and other urban centers. In total, the permanent housing structures number
3,220 stone wall houses and 2090 brick wall houses.
1.7 Land and Land Use
Much of the land (80%) is communally owned and is under the trustship trusteeship of the county
government. Government land constitutes 10 % of total land and includes land for schools,
administration, army barracks, and health facilities. The remaining 10% of the land is under private
ownership and was alienated for private investment in housing, industrial and commercial
purposes. Over 80 percent of the land cannot support crop farming and is used as grazing land by
the pastoralists. In some wards areas such Kinna, agro-pastoralism is practised with the
inhabitants engaging in both livestock and crop farming.
14
Figure 6: Open Grazing Land in the County
1.7.1 Mean Holding Size
The livestock land carrying capacity is 25, which imply that only 25 tropical livestock units (TLU)
can sustainably be kept under one hectare of land.
1.7.2 Percentage of Land with Title Deeds
The percentage of land with title deeds is less than 1% . Title deed holders are unwilling to sell
their land to potential investors. Lack of title deeds to the locals poses great challenge as they
cannot use their land as collateral in acquiring loans for development and and are unable to earn
compensation when land is purchased for investment in national development programmes like
the LAPSSET project. Lack of title deeds further discourages willing and potential investors from
investing in the county. There is therefore an agent need to fast track county land titling to public,
private and communal ownership.
1.7.3 Incidence of Landlessness
The land is communally owned. The landless are mainly found in the towns where the poor from
outside the county have not been able to purchase or be allocated plots.
1.8 Community Organizations/Non-State Actors
1.8.1 Cooperative Societies
There are 28 Co-operative Societies in the county. Some of these include: Deedha Multipurpose
cooperative society, Elbote Sacco that deals with miraa trade, Kinna Livestock Marketing
Cooperative. Garfasa Farmers Cooperative engaging in crop farming and the Isiolo camel milk
cooperative society which trades camel milk.
15
1.8.2 Non-Governmental Organizations
Some of the NGOs operating in the County include: Action Aid, Mid-P, Action against Hunger
(ACF), KRCS, African Muslim Agency, Alfalah, Catholic Development Office, UNICEF, World
Vision, Food for the Hungry (FH) and CCK.
1.8.3 Self Help, Women and Youth Groups
There are 60 active women self help groups, 345 community based organizations and 280 youth
groups registered and operating in the county. Most women groups operate revolving funds. The
level of activity of women and youth groups in the county depends on funding from various donors
and government funded initiatives.
1.9 Crop, Livestock and Fish Production
1.9.1 Main crops produced
A large portion of the county is arid and cannot support meaningful crop farming. However, maize,
beans, cowpeas, onions are produced in the areas bordering Meru and Laikipia Counties.
Mangoes, paw paws and other horticultural crops are produced in the existing private small-scale
irrigated farm along rivers.
1.9.2 Hectares under food crops and cash crops
With no rain fed agriculture, the hectares under food crops is small. There are only 1,497 hectares
under food crops production. However, the area under food crops is expected to increase to 2,000
hectares with the completion of Rapsu and Makadaka irrigations schemes.
1.9.3 Average Farm Sizes
The average farm size is one hectare. The relatively small average farm sizes is explained by the
fact that most of the areas in the county are not suitable for rain-fed agriculture and reserved for
grazing.
1.9.4 Main Storage Facilities
Privately owned traditional stores are the main food storage facilities in the county.
1.9.5 Main Livestock Breeds
The backbone of the county’s economy is Livestock production with over 80 percent of the
inhabitants relying on livestock for their livelihoods.
Nomadic pastoralism: Nomadic pastoralism is the more prominent in the county and defines the
lifestyle of most of the county’s inhabitants. It has had a negative impact on the environment due
to the tendency of overgrazing caused by overstocking.
Intensive dairy production: This is less prominent economic activity in the county but lately
gaining importance as a business in the county. Instead of grazing, cows are locked up and fed in
stalls. The animal waste can be recycled into the farms as natural fertilizer and self-sustain the
environment.
16
The main livestock cattle breeds are Zebu and Boran which are drought resistance breeds mainly
for beef production. Goat breeds include the Galla (main), the Small East African and Saanen. A
few farmers also keep dairy breeds like the toggenburg and the Swiss Alpine and many crosses of
local and exotic breeds. The Black Head Persian breed is the dominant sheep breed in the
county. The major breeds of camels found in the county are the Somali, the Turkana and the
Rendille. The market for the county’s livestock are mainly in Nairobi and other neighboring
counties. In order to sustain the livestock industry in the county several measures and policy
interventions need to be put in place to improve the industry and to mitigate the negative effects
of overstocking.
Figure 7: Livestock Market in Belgesh in Isiolo County
1. 9.6 Number of ranches
The county has several ranches. A ranch neighbouring Lewa Wildlife Conservancy is used as a
breeding ground of Black Rhinos. Borana ranch is a group ranch and is a home to 50 indigenous
tree families and over 300 species of bird life. Its unique geographic situation makes the 35,000
hectare ranch a haven for a wide diversity of wildlife: buffalo, eland, Jackson's hartebeest and
herds of Grant's gazelle, the highly endangered species grevy gazelle, impala and Burchell zebra
roam its plains.
1.9.7 Main Fishing Activities and Types of Fish Produced
The main types of fish caught are caroes, tilapia, barbus and labeo. Fishing activities are carried
out in fish ponds which are being promoted by the Fisheries department.
1.10 Forestry and Agro Forestry
1.10.1 Main Forest Types and Gazetted Forests
Currently two forests are earmarked for gazettement in the county, namely Gotu and Kipsing
forests. The types of trees in found are those suitable for dry areas. These are mainly Acacia
Propopis and Cassiasis species.
1.10.2 Main Forest products
The main forest products are poles, wood fuel, honey, dyes and gum.
17
1.10.3 Promotion of Agro-Forestry and Green Economy
a) Income generating activities including farm forests
This is done through sale of tree seedlings, movement permits of forest products, sale of gums
and resins (small scale).
b) Protection of water catchment areas
KFS (Kenya Forest Services) in collaboration with WaRMA (Water Resources Management
Authority), Ministry of Environment and Mineral Resources are the major players towards
protection of Isiolo River and Bisinandi River catchment areas.
c) Prevention of soil erosion
Soil erosion in Isiolo County is more serious in areas of Oldonyiro. The Land Reclamation office in
Isiolo is coordinating all stakeholders in prevention of soil erosion in the county. This is done
through planting of fruit trees using modern methods of water harvesting in the rehabilitated areas.
d) Provision of wood fuel and Generation of energy for industries
Wood fuel is collected from shrubs and trees on trust land mainly for domestic use. Currently there
are no industries in the county but with the upgrading of Isiolo town to resort city status, many
industrial developments will take place creating huge demand for energy.
e) Improvement of soil fertility
This has been achieved through agro forestry. KFS has been promoting the planting of Greveria
robusta and the lucina species to improve soil fertility. The Lucina species can also be used as
animal feed.
f) Growing of fruit trees for improved nutrition and markets
The fruit trees grown include pawpaw, avocados and guavas.
g) Provision of carbon sinks and Carbon trading
To achieve this objective the KFS and stakeholders will promote tree planting in schools,
institutions and private farms. Efforts to protect acacia totelis species from being cut for production
of charcoal are on going and will be intensfied.
h) Beautification activities in towns, highways, schools, homes and other public places
Kenya Forest Service in collaboration with NEMA, and Financial Institutions such as the KCB has
in the past planted trees in Isiolo town (along the high way), at Isiolo Baraza park and in some
selected schools. The KKV initiative has also assisted in increasing tree cover in the county. Under
the ESP programme, trees were planted in 40 primary schools in the county. The tree planting
programmes and projects will be prioritized in implementing this CIDP.
i) Animal Feeds production ventures
This has been achieved through the production of lucina species. There are efforts to research on
Prosopis julifora species which has proven to be a form of animal feeds. Mordern animal feed
manufacturing plants and methods will also be implemented under this CIDP.
j) Growing and processing plants for medicinal purposes
KFS in collaboration with other stakeholders are looking for ways of coming up with medicinal
farms in the county before the end of 2015. Some of the trees with high medicinal value include:
Neem (Muharobaini), Muringa stenopetala, Terminalia brownii, and mkwaju.
18
1.11 Environment and Climate Change
1.11.1 Major Contributors to Environmental Degradation
The county is hot and dry in most months of the year hence the vegetation cover is very low and
scattered. Charcoal burning, sand harvesting, overgrazing and overstocking in most parts of the
county has been rapidly depleting the vegetation cover leaving land exposed to soil erosion. Much
of the soil erosion is also caused by strong winds which lead to massive environmental
destruction.
1.11.2 Effects of Environmental Degradation
Environmental degradation has led to decreased vegetation cover; increase of environment-
related diseases such as kalaazar, eyes and respiratory problems. During the windy season,
visibility becomes very poor due to huge amount of dust. This has induced increase in both air and
water borne diseases in the county.
1.11.3 Climate Change and Its Effects
Isiolo is one of the most vulnerable counties to climate change in Kenya. Some of the key
vulnerabilities emanating from climate change include drought and unpredictable rainfall, floods,
and spread of water and vector-borne diseases, loss of forests and wetland ecosystems, land
degradation and desertification and scarcity of portable water.
Drought and unpredictable rainfall will impact negatively on the economy of the county leading to
reduced crop yield, low livestock productivity, high livestock mortality, loss of income for farmers,
famine and malnutrition. These impacts will be exacerbated by unsustainable use of ground water.
Merti and Sericho the county’s most arid areas are also expected to be most affected by famine
and malnutrition in the absebce of mitigation measures against climate change.
Some areas of the country are will also experience increased precipitation in some seasons as a
result of climate change. The county is expected to be adversely affected by flash floods with
negative impacts such as sediment pollution, loss of fertility, landslides and erosion, and disruption
of hydropower systems and destruction of other physical infrastructure. The Anthropogenic
amplifiers of floods are: deforestation, unsustainable land use practices and ill-placed
infrastructure.
The spread of water-borne and vector -borne diseases will be exercebated by lack of sanitation
services. This will lead to disease proliferation and compromised public health. This requires
significant mitigation and health planning. Loss of forests and wetland ecosystems will also lead to
loss of biodiversity and ecosystem services. In the absence of mitigation, climate change will lead
to reduced crop yields, community migration and loss of livestock productivity.
In view of the above, this CIDP will put priority on programmes and projects that help to manage
and adapt to climate change.
1.11.4 Climate Change Mitigation Measures and Adaptation Strategies
Some of the adaptation strategies to mitigate against the impact of unpredicatable drought are:
introduction of drought resistant crop varieties, use of community irrigation, use of water saving
irrigation, and putting more land into production. The other risk due to drought and unpredictable
19
rainfall is loss of income to farmers. There is need for improved weather forecasting, introduction
of better adapted livestock, food processing and preservation techniques as well the establishment
of food banks so as to adapt and cope with the the effects of climate change. Diversification of
food production is also necessary.
In order to adapt to effects of floods as a result of climate change, there is need reconstitute basin
slopes, undertake restoration of silted ponds, and initiate afforestation and reforestation
programmes. There is further need for an early warning systems and raising awareness, planning
settlements in low risk areas, constructing hydro power micro-stations, diversification of energy
sources to wind, solar, and biogas, construction of shelters for displaced population, resettlement
of communities at risk, and construction of water gates and culverts. To be able to control
landslides and erosion, infrastructure planning is needed. It is also important to come up with
integrated land use plans.
Adaptation strategies against water-borne and vector-borne diseases include: production of bio
pesticides, malaria education campaigns, establishment of database of diseases and vectors,
emergency plans and health care professional training.
Further, adaptation strategies to loss of forests and wetland ecosystems include: forest fire
management and prevention as well as promoting energy efficiency. Forest conservation and
promotion of other construction materials will be prioritized so as to ease pressure on the county’s
forests.
1.12 Mining
1.12.1 Ongoing Activities
The Government is currently prospecting for petroleum oil in Chari and Cherab wards in Isiolo
North Constituency.
1.12.2 Mining Potential
The county has a lot of potentials for mining. Geological surveys have shown that the county has
untapped deposits of mineral such as blue sapphire Saaer in Duse location, Ruby in Raspu and
Korbesa locations, limestone and Biromix in Merti, and Gas in Merti and Ilango locations. The
county has plenty of sand but its exploitation is haphazard and environmentally unsustainable.
Under this CIDP the county government will put in place reforms to improve and regulate sand
harvesting will also put in place measures to attract investors in the county’s mining sector.
1.13 Tourism
1.13.1 Main Tourist Attractions, National Parks/Reserves
The county has three game reserves namely Shaba, Buffalo Springs, and Bisanadi game
reserves. Samburu and Meru national parks also border the county. The parks and game
reserves in Isiolo County are famously known for their natural beauty and abundance of wildlife.
Most conservancies in the county are also famous for providing sancuatrires to Black Rhinos.
Over fifty indigenous tree families and over 300 species of bird life are found in the county. The
county provides a unique home to wide diversity of wildlife including buffalo, eland, Jackson's
hartebeest and herds of Grant's gazelle, impala and Burchell zebras.
20
Figure 8: Section of Buffalo National Reserve in Isiolo County
1.13.2 Main Wildlife Species
The main wildlife species found in the county includes: Black rhino (Diceros bicornis), African Wild
dog (Lycaon pictus), Giraffe, Elephant, Ostrich, Monkeys, Antelopes, Impala, Giraffe, Leopard,
Waterbuck, Lesser kudu, Greater kudu, Hippo, Grevy zebra, Buffalo, Lion and over 300 species of
birds. There is an urgent need to protect the county’s wildlife from poachers and illegal traders ,
especially killing of elephants for ivory.
1.13.3 Tourist Class Hotels/Restaurants, Bed Occupancy
There are a wide range of hotels and campsites in the county which offer accommodation to
tourists. These include: one five star hotel with a bed capacity 34, two four stars hotels with total
bed capacity of 78, three 3 star hotels with total bed capacity of 250, one two star hotel with a bed
capacity of 311, three one star hotels with total bed capacity 348 and several unclassified hotels
and restaurants.
1.14 Industries
The county has no manufacturing establishments /industries despite a huge potential in livestock
product based industries. The main economic activity in the county is livestock production and this
provide a huge potential for hides and skins processing (Tannery), camel and goat milk processing
industries. The county has a great potential for wood based handicraft industries due to availability
of indigenous suitable trees species. Currently, there are only 10 Jua Kali associations and several
unorganized artisans whose number needs to be determined.
21
1.15 Employment and other Sources of Income
1.15.1 Wage Earners
This accounts for 14.5 percent of the county’s population. Majority of the wage earners are
employed in the hotel industry and public sector. Over 85.5 percent of the populace is not engaged
in formal employment due to high illiteracy levels among the locals.
1.15.2 Self-Employed
60 percent of the county’s population is in rural self employment. 15 percent is in the urban self
employment doing retail trade in various commodity sales such as Miraa trade. Most of the rural
dwellers are engaged in livestock trade.
1.15.3 Labour Force
This constitutes of 80,809 persons in 2012 translating to 51.94 percent of the county’s population.
The labour force is projected at 96,139 by end of 2017. In order to take advantage of the of
employment opportunities that will come with massive investments of the new status of a resort
city, international airport and LAPSSET project, the county needs to invest more on developing the
capacity of the people to be skilled and more specialized.
1.15.4 Unemployment Levels
The county experiences high level of unemployment with over 70 percent of the labour force not
formally employed. This is due to high illiteracy levels coupled by lack of skills. Training and
empowerment are key strategies that the county will focus in this five Plan year period.
1.16 Water and Sanitation
1.16.1 Water Resources and Quality
Three big perennial rivers namely Ewaso Ngiro, Isiolo, and Bisanadi flow through the county.
Rivers Ewaso Ngiro has its catchment area from the Aberdare and drains into the Lorian Swamp.
The Isiolo River originates from Mt. Kenya and drains into Ewaso Ngiro River. Bisanadi river
drains into River Tana. Most irrigation schemes are found along these rivers. Where the site
conditions are suitable, floodwater harvesting facilities for communities in the county can be be
constructed and by excavating shallow pans or ponds.
22
Figure 9: Section of Ewaso Ngiro River at Gotu during Wet Season
Most of the springs are situated within game reserves, and as such, are not accessible to local
people. Data shows a total of 24 springs scattered along major rivers in Isiolo. However, due to
degradation, 12 of these springs with negligible flows seem to have disappeared in recent years.
Over 58 percent of the domestic water is sourced from boreholes and 17 percent from shallow
wells. Fifty nine percent of the total number of water sources are operational during the wet
season, with only 36 percent operational in the dry season. Merti, Garbatulla and Sericho areas
are poorly served with water sources, particularly during the dry season.
In general, water supply in the county can be divided into four majors sources: direct use of natural
water sources such as rivers, streams and springs; developed surface water, such as earth dams,
sand/subsurface dams, tanks and pans; developed groundwater such as wells, shallow wells and
boreholes; and emergency water supply by the government using tankers. Up to 58 percent of the
water sources have saline water hence limiting the availability of potable water, especially for
human consumption.
1.16.2 Water Supply Schemes
The Isiolo Water and Sewerage Company supplies water in Isiolo town. The other supply
schemes are: Merti Water Supply and Garbatulla Water Supply. The following projects
are ongoing Korbesa Community Project, Dadachabasa 15 km Pipeline Project, and
Dadachalaffe Borehole Water Supply Project.
23
Figure 10: Protected Natural Spring in Gotu
1.16.3 Water Sources (Distance to Nearest Water Points)
In terms of spatial coverage, about 93 percent of the county area lacks access to safe and clean
water within five kilometers reach. Over 175 (73 percent) villages rely on water sources that are
unsafe and beyond five kilometers reach. Some villages in Modogashe area are about 25 km from
the nearest safe water source. The maximum distance cattle can walk without stressing them is 10
km yet 74 percent of the pastoralists walk over 15 km to the nearest water source for livestock.
1.16.4 Sanitation
As much as 81 percent of the households in the county have pit latrines, 56 percent of which are
uncovered. Open defecation by adults and disposal of children feaces in the open is still rampant
in most rural areas of the county. The use of buckets is disappearing and only 15 households still
use them. Currently only 6 percent of the households are connected to the sewerage line in Isiolo
town. The government is expanding the sewerage ponds in Isiolo town (see figure 11) to be able
to connect more households to the sewer line.
24
Figure 11: Expansion Project of Sewerage Ponds in Isiolo Town
1.17 Health Access and Nutrition
1.17.1 Health Access (Health Facilities, Personnel)
Over 70 percent of the county’s inhabitants live in the rural areas where health facilities are
inadequate, inaccessible, and unaffordable. The county has two level four health facilities (Isiolo
and Garbatulla level four hospitals), five level (what ?) health facilities and 34 level one health
facilities. Most county’s public health facilities lack adequate personnel. For example, Garbatulla
level two health facility has only one doctor. The doctor: population ratio for the county is 1:20,000.
1.17.2 Morbidity: Five Most Common Diseases in Order of Prevalence
The five most prevalent diseases in the county are: malaria, diarrhoea, stomach ache, respiratory
diseases and flu respectively. Majority of the cases of diarrhoea and stomach ache are associated
with the use of contaminated water especially during the wet seasons.
1.17.3 Nutritional Status Prevalence of Stunting and Wasting In Children Under Five
Years: Height-For-Age, Weight-For-Height, and Weight-For-Age
The prevalence of wasting in children is 3 percent whereas the prevalence of stunting is 18.6
percent. Height for Age prevalence of stunting is 13 percent, weight for height prevalence of
stunting is 8 percent. The weight for age prevalence of stunting is 13 percent. The frequent
famines and poor nutrition contributes to the high levels of wasting and stunting among the
county’s residents
1.17.4 Immunization Coverage
Currently 90 percent of the children in the county have been immunised against various diseases.
Lack of enough health facilities, personnel, inaccessibility of some health facilities due to the poor
terrain and distances explains why it has not been possible to achieve universal coverage of 100
percent immunization.
25
1.17.5 Access to Family Planning Services/Contraceptive Prevalence
The average distance to a health facility is 25 km. Due to this factor coupled by the fact that there
are inadequate health facilities in the county, access to family planning is a big challenge. Up to
73 percent of the women in the county deliver at home with the assistance of traditional mid wives.
More than 60 percent of those in the reproductive age group do not have access to family
planning. The contraceptive prevalence rate is 28 percent.
1.18 Education and Literacy
1.18.1 Early ChildHood Education
There are 142 public ECD centres of which 29 are private. Total enrolment is 8,991 with 5,034
being boys and 3,957 girls. The teacher pupil ratio in the ECD centres is 1:87. This ratio is far
above the optimal of 1:40 implying that the county is running short of ECD teachers. Dropout rate
is nil which means that all the pupils transit to primary schools. Currently the less than five years
age group population is estimated at 25,651 and 90 percent of them are supposed to be attending
ECD centres. This calls for rapid infrastructure development and an increase in manpower in ECD
centres to accommodate this high number.
1.18.2 Primary Education
The county has 23,008 pupils enrolled in primary schools. The number of primary school teachers
is 624. This implies that the teacher/pupil ratio is 1:37. The dropout rate is one percent implying
that most pupils are transiting to secondary schools. However 74 percent of pupils walks/travel for
over five km to reach the nearest public primary school. The current projection of primary school
going children population is 35,989. This implies that over 37 percent of the children who are
supposed to be in primary school are out of school. There is therefore urgent need to come up
with strategies that will keep children in school.
1.18.3 Literacy
Literacy levels in the county are very low as 85 percent of the community members can neither
read nor write. Of the male adult members, only 48 percent are literate. There are 63 adult literacy
classes in the entire county with an enrolment of only 1,835 students out of which 649 are males
and 1,186 are females. There is therefore a dire need to increase the number of adult literacy
classes in the entire county and undertake campaigns to influence enrolment.
1.18.4 Secondary Education
The County has only 15 secondary schools, with an enrolment of 1,822 students (1,278 males and
546 females.) Teacher population in secondary schools stands at 61 with a teacher/student ratio of
1:30 The dropout rate is nil. However 83 percent of the students have to walk/travel for 5 km and
above to reach the nearest secondary school.
1.18.5 Tertiary Education
There are three tertiary institutions in the county. These are St. Josephs Youth polytechnic, St.
Marys Secretarial College, and Isiolo ECD Training centre. More tertiary institutions need to be
constructed in each of the county’s 10 Wards.
26
CHAPTER TWO: COUNTY DEVELOPMENT ANALYSIS,
CHALLENGES AND OPPORTUNITIES
2.0 Introduction
This chapter highlights the county’s socio-economic challenges, opportunities and strategies. It
also provides a SWOT analysis of cross cutting issues and key development issues that affect the
development of the county. The chapter concludes with a summay of main development issues
and problems affecting the county, their causes, development objectives and potential strategic
interventions analyzed under MTEF sectors and county functions as given in the Fourth Schedule
of the Constitution and gazetted in Legal Notice No 16 of 2013.
2.1 Key Development Challenges
Over time the Government has put in place various strategies to ensure effective implementation
of programmes and projects all geared towards development and poverty reduction in the
County. There has been a considerable achievement for some of these strategies despite various
challenges that affected performance including floods, droughts and disease outbreaks affecting
both humans and livestock.
Figure 12: Human and Livestock Scramble for Water during Drought
2.1.1 Inadequate and Poor Communication Network
The county has a road network of 975.5 km of which only three percent are bituminised. Seventy
seven percent of the roads are earth surfaced and impassable during rainy season. Many
sections of the gravel roads are very rocky and can only be used by heavy vehicles. The bad
roads condition have made the cost of transportation to be quite high and a major hindrance to
free movements of goods and services. There is therefore an urgent need to come up with a
master plan to improve the county’s roads net work in order to facilitate faster and higher
economic growth of the county.
27
The county’s telecommunications network is also very poor. Only 7 percent of the county has
mobile phone network coverage while landline telephone connections are only 164. Internet
access and usage is low as there only 12 cyber cafes in the whole county.
2.1.2 Inadequate Water and Sanitation
The county is prone to drought resulting to poor accessibility to clean water. Water shortage is the
main cause of severe food insecurity. The water shortage mostly affects women and children as
they have to walk long distances to collect water. The average distance to the nearest water
source for most households in the county is 3km. Out of 31,326 households in the county, only 6
and 35 percent have access to piped water and potable water respectively. Scarcity of water has
affected women participation in development as they spend time searching for water at the
expense of other economic activities.
The sanitation situation is acute as open defecation by adults and children is rampant in most rural
areas. On the whole 81 percent of households have pit latrines, 56 percent of which are
uncovered. The use of buckets still exists in some Manyattas. Most urban centres lack sewerage
systems and garbage disposal sites.
2.1.3 Population Growth
The inter-censual census growth rate is high at 3.7 percent. The county’s population growth is
further expected to increase rapidly as Lamu Port-Southern Sudan and Ethiopia Transport corridor
(LAPSSET) projects including the Resort City and International Airport; flagship projects of the
Vision 2030, attract increased migration into the county.
The population of those aged below 15 years is 30% of the total, which is very high compared to
other age cohorts. This is due to poor family planning and results in high dependency rate. The
age group 0-24 years comprises 60 percent of the population and majority of them are
unemployed youth. This implies high dependency ratio, which encourages high consumption
rather than savings and investment. There is therefore need to promote family planning initiatives
to address this situation.
2.1.4 Low Productivity of Land
Due to prolonged drought and poor land management practices such as overgrazing and charcoal
burnin, over the past few years, land has been degrading at a high rate. Much pressure has been
exerted on semi arid zones due to rising influx of pastoralists from the neighbouring counties like
Wajir, Samburu, Garissa and Marsabit. The county will institute measures to protect land from
further degradation and promote diversification of compatible livelihoods by investing in pro-poor
climate resilient livelihood options.
2.1.5 Poor Livestock Marketing Infrastructure
Livestock production supports most livelihoods in the county Despite this the county lacks a vibrant
market for livestock and livestock products. There are very few livestock cooperatives to cushion
pastoralists from exploitation by traders and middlemen in the livestock sub sector. There is
therefore an urgent need to establish modern livestock marketing infrastructure and promote
formation of livestock owners companies and cooperatives for the purpose of marketing both
livestock and livestock products in order to benefit from the economies of scale. There is further
28
need to construct modern livestock product processing facilities including abattoirs for value
addition to livestock products.
2.1.6 Weakness in the Land Tenure System
Land onwership and registration is very low in the county with less than one percent of the land
registered. The low registration of titles has been a constant source of resource based conflicts
and t low revenue collection of land rates which represents a significant loss of over ksh 250
million annually. Faster land adjudication and registration is therefore crucial to faster growth and
development of the county. Without title deeds local inhabitants are constrained with regards to
securing investment loans from banks and Micro Finance Institutions (MFIs) and also wininng
investors confidance.
2.1.7 Low level of Industrial Development:
The County lacks industries especially the agro based industries, which add value to farm and
livestock products and enable farmers and pastoralists to fetch good market prices. There are no
value addition plants such as milk processing plants for agriculture produce such as milk. It is
expected that the already huge investments that the government has made in the livestock sub
sector in construction of an abattoir in Burat ward will assist in adding value to livestock products.
Planned investments in juakali and cottage industries under this CIDP are expected to create
employment opportunities for the growing number of unemployed youth.
To address the issue of lack of manufacturing establishments in the county, the county
government will encourage establishment of agro-based firms for processing products such as:
milk, tomatoes, horticultural products, onions and cereals that can utilize the locally available raw
materials.
2.1.8 Food Insecurity
Available data shows that the County has a food poverty rate of 77 per cent. Majority of its
inhabitants depends primarily on relief food. Furthermore, the quantity of food crops harvested is
low hence exposing families to hunger and malnutrition.
This CIDP will address food insecurity in the county by encouraging farmers to diversify food crops
planted so as to include traditional varieties. Farmers will be given training on on-farm value
addition to their produce. Sustainable land use management practices will be disseminated to
farmer groups for replication. Farmers will further be sensitized on the need to farm two seasons
as opposed to the current single season in a year and the importance of growing early maturing
and disease resistant food varieties. The county government will also support investment in
irrigation as a means of increasing food production and addressing food insecurity in the county.
2.2 Cross-cutting Issues
The following are the cross cutting issues identified in the county; high poverty rates; high
prevalence of HIV/AIDs, rate; gender inequality, Disaster Management, environmental
degradation; Climate Change; and Disaster Risk Reduction. Below is a SWOT analysis of these
cross cutting issues.
2.2.1 High Poverty Levels
With 71 percent of the county population living below the poverty line, there is need to develop
programmes directed at addressing acute poverty especially among pastoralists. This is partly
29
because of insecure land tenure system compounded by breakdow of traditional land
management systems as well climate change effects and incidences of insecurity.
Development of secure land titling to confer ownership, arresting insecurity, supporting traditional
land management practices and further development of programmes and projects on sustainable
land use, provision of water, and disease control all need to be put in place given that the county
economy is greatly dependent on livestock. Pastoralists have been under constant threat of
poverty especially during drought episodes, making them lose large portion of their livestock due
to starvation and lack of water.

2.2.2 High Prevalence of HIV/AIDS
HIV/AIDS is a major problem in pastoralists’ communities due to movements of men from one
area to another in search of pastures while leaving their families behind. Further, areas adjacent to
Isiolo town has a heavy concentration of military training camps, and being a transit town, Isiolo
town and the adjoining areas have seen a rise in commercial sex workers.
30
Medical reports from Isiolo level three hospitals indicate that HIV prevalence fell from 6.1 percent
in 2008 to 4.9 percent in 2012. The major affected areas are Isiolo town, Garbatulla, Ngaremara
and Merti. The threat posed by HIV/AIDS is that of an increase of OVCs and in deaths among the
productive population. The pandemic has also increased demand for health services and health
care provision.
Interventions should be multidimesional and county and constituency AIDS technical committees
will mobilize all stakeholders to fight new infections and promote community based care for those
infected and affected by AIDS. Under this CIDP, HIV/AIDs related issues will further be
mainstreamed in all development activities in the county. Increased focus will also be on education
to prevent mother to child transmission.

2.2.3 Gender Inequality
Women in the County are more vulnerable to poverty than men. They spend most of their time
searching for water and firewood. In addition, they do not own or control assets like livestock and
rarely take part in decision making as it is a preserve of men. It is also notable that men benefit
more from formal education, as young girls remain at home to help in household chores and
herding. Because of this, women are not able to develop skills that enable them to find gainful
employment or engage in business. They are therefore not able to compete with men in many
spheres of life. There is minimal recognition of the role of women in development across a number
of communities in the county. Primary school droput rates are higher among girls than boys. Most
girls never complete primary education or secondary education. Most of the girls are married at
early ages and perfrom domestic chores as the boy child is more valued among the pastoralist.
In order to address the prevailing gender disparities, the county government will prioritize capacity
building initiatives and take deliberate efforts at empowering women to enhance their status. In
addition, girl child education will be mainstreamed in development, with great emphasis on the
improvement of girl child enrolment and increased focus given to retention of girls in schools.
Efforts will be directed towards strengthening and supporting existing women groups to initiate
income generating projects.
Investment will be made in the provision of potable water for the purpose of reducing the distances
and time taken by women and girls in fetching water and involvement of women in peace and
conflict resolutions in the County will be intensified. Sensitization will be done of community
members to discard negative cultural attitudes and practices towards women and to encourage
gender balanced development.

2.2.4 Disaster Management
Isiolo County is a disaster prone region as it is vulnerable to hazards such a drought, floods and
livestock and human disease epidemics. The most prevalent disaster is drought which results in
loss of human life and livestock deaths and causes frequent migration of affected communities.
Such migrations often result in conflicts over grazing rights.
32
Various interventions will be put in place to reduce vulnerability to disasters. Part of these
include; strengthening of EWS (Early Warning Systems), establishment of multi-agency disaster
rapid response teams and strengthening linkages between County level actors and national
operation centre.
SWOT Analysis
Strengths Weaknesses
Well endowed with natural capital
including livestock, minerals, game,
tourists attraction sites, rangeland,
and wide open spaces;
A resilient local community with
developed mechanisms for coping
and adapting to harsh environment.
Presence of NGOs and development
partners assisting in quick response to
emergencies.
Rampant conflict over dwindling scarce
resources ;
Weak human capital base due to low
investment in education;
Poor or non-existent of physical
infrastructure such as roads, hospitals and
telecommunication services in most parts of
the county,
Collapse of traditional pasture management
practices ;
Poor land tenure systems;
Cultural practices which inhibit uptake of
new ideas;
Bad/impassable roads during rainy season;
Low mobile phone and tele- communication
network coverage;
Overstocking of livestock;
Rapid herd growth;
Lack of systems to protect indigenous
intellectual property rights.
Opportunities Threat
Increased government and
development partner interest in ASAL
development ;
Establishment of the National Drought
Management Authority;
Implementation of the Ending Drought
Emergencies (EDE) Programme;
Drive for peaceful co-existence with
other communities in the region;
Value addition for livestock products.
Rampant insecurity in the region;
Endemic poverty and rising population ;
HIV/AIDS;
Low private sector interest in investment in
disaster management;
Growing frequency of climatic shocks;
Overdependence on relief assistance.
2.2.5 Environmental Degradation
The main challenge in the county remains poor management of natural resources and consequent
land degradation. There are no controls over grazing lands, spread of settlements and water
points. Further, no mechanisms exist to ensure equitable sharing of benefits from the natural
resource base. This has led to localized degradation of the environment and intensified community
conflicts over natural resources.
Land pressures in the rangelands are increasingly becoming acute due to influx of pastoralist from
the neighbouring counties leading to an increase in degradation of much of the dry-season grazing
33
areas on which the locals depend. A County Land Policy and Spatial Plan will therefore be
formulated to provide a framework to address many of the land challenges facing the County
including land and boundary disputes, land degradation and sharing of benefits from natural
resources.
Uncontrolled charcoal burning and trade has further led to massive environmental degradation,
leading to decreased vegetation cover and increase in environment-related disasters. The
vegetation cover has been rapidly depleted exposing the area to the threats of floods and strong
winds.
SWOT Analysis
Strengths Weaknesses
Conservation of the environment;
Poor waste disposal culture.
Weak enforcement of waste management and
pollution;
Low afforestation in the county;
Opportunities Threats
Available Availability of casual labor;
Political good will;
Private partnerships;
Many CSOs;
Presence of devolved funds;
Income from Carbon Credits
Fires;
Droughts;
Improper waste disposal and lack of a landfill;
Overstocking.
2.2.6 Climate change
The county is classified as arid with scant vegetation cover. This makes it vulnerable to wind and
water erosion. Some of dangers of climate change experienced in the county include drought and
unpredictable rainfall, floods, and spread of water and vector borne diseases, loss of wetlands
ecosystems, land degradation and desertification and scarcity of potable water. Another
vulnerability is depletion of underground water. Climate change will be worsened by deforestation,
unsustainable land use practices and intensified grazing. It will lead to reduced crop yields,
community migration and loss of livestock productivity. As a mitigation measure, rehabilitation of
degraded lands will be prioritized. Programmes such as afforestation, supporting natural
production of fodder for livestock and enabling traditional grazing patterns that have low impact on
the environment and are adaptable to climate change will further be supported under this CIDP.
In 2006, a severe flood led to loss of human lives and livestock and massive destruction of
property contrasted the following year by a drought in 2007. To manage and lessen the impacts of
climate change and its extreme weather events, the County government will implement mitigation
measures and adaptation strategies that are resilient to extreme climatic events. Traditional and
modern early warning systems and raising of awareness on climate change adaptation strategies
will be accorded priority. The adoption of renewable and alternative sources of energy and proper
environmental management that will not only help in dealing with climate change but also earn the
county the much needed revenue from carbon trading in international market will also be
supported

Lack of appropriate data;
2.2.7 Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR)
Disaster risk reduction is the concept and practice of reducing disaster risks through systematic
efforts to reduce exposure to hazards, lessening vulnerability of people and property through
improved preparedness. Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) aims to reduce the damage, severity and
impact on society and the environment. The DRR efforts have been previously coordinated by the
provincial administration but this has changed with the establishment of the county governments
and it is one of the main devolved functions. Therefore, Isiolo County needs to develop DRR plans
and strategies as well as capacity to deal with disaster. Currently the county lacks fire station and
should fire tragedy happens the consequences are unmanageable
The common disasters in the county therefore include severe drought, floods, famine, tribal
clashes, cattle rustling, and banditry which have all along led to displacement, loss of lives of both
animals and human, loss of shelter and severe degradation of the environment. Uncontrolled
35
charcoal burning and sand harvesting are prevalent thus damaging natural environment in the
County. Inter tribal conflicts arising from cattle rustling and banditry among the neighbouring tribes
(Boran, Turkana and Samburu) has always led to severe fights in the County.
SWOT Analysis for DRR.

2.2.8 The Youths
The youth by definition are the population between the ages of 18 to 35 years. This age group
forms part of the productive age group and in the county it constitutes about 35.2 per cent of the
total population. The youth form a crucial part and play a vital role in the development process of
the county. However in recent times the youthful population has lacked resilience by being more
vulnerable to drugs, HIV and AIDS and other social evils weakening their ability to participate in
the county’s development processes. Past efforts to empower the youth include registration of
youth groups, funding of registered groups, training of youth in health issues, involvement of
youths in meaningful economic activities, involvement in development committees, revival and
equipping of youth polytechnics, creating employment opportunities and putting in place an
enabling environment for entrepreneurial skills development. However, lack of business
entrepreneurial skills, negative attitudes by some leaders on provision of credit to youths, inability
of the staff to reach the youths in remote areas, inadequate staff of the ministry responsible for
youth affairs and drug abuse have affected the youth negatively.

2.8.9 Physically Challenged Persons
This category of the population constitutes about 1.3 per cent of the county’s total population. For
a long time physically challenged persons have been marginalized in all sectors of development
due to a perception that they may not be able to perform duties and other roles in society. They
have also been treated with disrespect and seen as dependants who cannot add value to
economic and developmental processes. Under this CIDP policies and guidelines to mainstream
the physically challenged into development will be developed and implemented .

CHAPTER THREE: COUNTY SPATIAL PLANNING FRAMEWORK
3.1 Introduction
This chapter presents the spatial planning framework which highlights the necessary coordination
between the various sectors such as transport networks and their relationship to agricultural production
and markets; industrial areas and energy projects that supply them; zoning of urban-versus-rural areas;
areas for public facilities and private home developments.
3.2 Spatial Planning
Spatial planning involves apportioning space to various land use to ensure harmony and order in
adjacent land user. It endeavors to ensure that various land uses are located on suitable sites for
enhanced production while not having negative impacts on the adjacent land uses. It also ensures
aesthetics in the urban space and that land as a factor of production is put to the highest and best use.
Spatial planning has become urgent in Kenya especially within the context of paradigm shift in
governance and planning following the creation of 47 counties under the constitution of Kenya (2010).
County spatial planning can assist in cascading global and national development policies to the local
level. It can also help to improve the link between economic planning and budgets and improve the
productivity of investments.
Every county is required to prepare its county integrated development and spatial plan as well as
integrated development and spatial plans for a city, municipality and town in their county to qualify for
classification in line with section 54 of the Urban Areas and Cities Act, 2011. Spatial plans have a
regulatory and developmental function in a county.
Isiolo County spatial Plan will provide the needed overall integrated spatial framework for coordinating
the various development efforts by different agencies so as to have sustainable development within the
county.
3.2.1 Significance of the spatial plan to county Development
The spatial plan will allow the county to coordinate growth and achieve county wide objectives. It will
facilitate funding for investment, infrastructure and social services. Further, it will provide a link
between various growth areas. It will specify areas for new housing, business and industrial areas,
and for infrastructure across the county.
The county spatial plan is a statutory document that will set out the strategic policies that guide where
development is located in the context of the next 20 years. The Plan will enhance the sustainability of
both rural and urban settlements in Isiolo county . It is envisaged to protect and enhance the natural ,
environment as well as deliver an accessible, integrated and sustainable transport system. It will enable
measures to increase tourism revenue by zoning wildlife areas and parks, protect water points for the
wildlife and hence reduce the human wildlife conflict.
The objectives of county spatial planning include:
Identification of the spatial distribution of the resources within the county, their level of
utilization and potential;
Assessing the conditions of existing infrastructure, capacity and projected demand;
51
Identifying fragile ecosystems and recommend intervention measures for their protection and
conservation;
Investigation of human settlement trends and propose an appropriate strategy to spur
development of urban and rural centers l to facilitate development;
To asses capacity of the existing institutions and organizations and recommend strategies to
enhance their performance;
To t recommend an integrated spatial framework that will guide the sustainable utilization of
the regional resources, bring services closer to the people;
Spur rural-urban inter-linkages and hasten economic growth and development; and.
Recommending priority areas for intervention.
3.2.2 Previous Planning Interventions
Isiolo was designated as a district in 1909 where it was classified as zones for UASO Borana and the
Sekuye grazing areas by the colonial government. The township was demarcated to provide the
headquarters for the Northern frontier province. The first spatial plan for Isiolo was for Isiolo Township.
It was prepared by the colonial government. A spatial plan for Modogashi bordering Garissa was
prepared in 1974 ; however, it was marred by boundary disputes thus not implemented. In the year
2006, a physical planning team prepared a local physical development plan for Modagashi which was
approved in 2007. Ngaremara physical plan was prepared in 2010. However, the residents have
previously petitioned for its revision to reflect current development trends on the ground.
3.2.3 The Legal and Institutional framework
The spatial planning framework is anchored on the County Government Act (2012), the physical
planning Act, the Constitution (2010) and the Cities and Urban areas Act (2011). The county spatial
plan contains the urban plans, zoning plans, the subject plans and development plans. The Isiolo
County Spatial plan will address the following: Alienation of Urban areas, alienation of forests and game
reserves, the establishment of the county boundary, the establishment of county grazing areas,
alienation of government vital installations e.g KWS, Army barracks, the Airport, and the Resort city. It
will outline the detailed planning needs for urban areas, the transportation networks and
interconnectivity, identify the natural resources, their spatial distribution and how well they can be
utilized. It will further investigate the human settlement trends, their access to infrastructure and
services and propose measures to ensure they thrive sustainably.
3.2.4 Urbanization in the County
Isiolo Town is the major urban center in the county and serves as the county headquarters. It covers
approximately 65 km2. The main factor behind the growth of Isiolo Town is its strategic location on
the transit corridor A2 road linking Nairobi to Addis Ababa in Ethiopia. Isiolo town started as a base for
King’s African Riffle. The colonial government declared the Northern Frontier district in 1909 covering
the whole county and other northern parts of Kenya with its headquarters in Meru. However, in 1928,
the colonial government recognized the strategic position of Isiolo as a gateway to the North, Somali
and Abyssinia and decided to move the district headquarters to Isiolo
3.2.5 Human Settlements
A settlement refers to a permanent or temporary community in which people live. It can range from a
small number of dwellings grouped together to the largest of cities with the surrounding urbanized
areas. An analysis of human settlement patterns in a region is critical in planning terms. The pattern of
human settlement in a region is influenced by the population dynamics of that area and the two have an
embryonic relationship. Other factors influencing human settlement include availability of water, soil
52
fertility, availability of productive resources, other natural resources and general production capacity,
level of economic development, location of industry and urbanization among others. Settlements
change in size and form and respond to the changing economic and social development of the
surrounding areas.
3.2.6 Human Settlement Policy
In Kenya, the Human Settlement Policy is espoused in the detailed Human Settlement Strategy of
1978. This strategy is an overall framework for the management of urban growth and location of
Physical Development in the urban and rural areas of Kenya so as to develop “a coherent system of
human settlement”. Five strategies were outlined to achieve the above:
The development of service centres;
The development of growth centres;
The development of an integrated transportation and communication system;
Rural Development; and
The development of appropriate standards for urban infrastructure
3.2.7 Land Use pattern
The current urban population in the county is about 42%. This is based on the fact that there are
scattered urban and rural centers centered around water points which become administrative centers.
Insecurity in the region is also a push factor thus security institutions attract settlement. The urban
areas (growth and service centers) including Isiolo, Merti, Garba Tulla, Kinna and Modogashi portray a
pattern where about 70% of the land is residential with various residential neighborhoods distinctively
named with the local dialects.
The remaining 30% of land use within the county urban areas forms the commercial, industrial sites
and administrative centers. Outside the growth centers, the county hosts two Army barracks and
grazing areas, forests and national reserves. A small area of the county’s land area i.e 600 hectares is
currently under irrigation. Due to their contribution to the economy of the county, the spatial plan will
provide measures to protect and preserve the livestock grazing areas and the two existing national
reserves.
3.2.8 Spatial plan and CIDP Planning Process.
The essence of the spatial plan will be to anchor all the development projects proposed in the CIDP and
budgeted for in the five year plan. This will include transportation networks, housing development,
employment areas i.e. industrial and commercial areas and government installations. Priority will be
given to the projects proposed by the community. The plan will provide strategies for land banking to
ensure that land is kept for strategic Public Private Partnerships (PPP) or government investment. The
objective is to integrate economic, social, ecological policies and proposals with the spatial plan by
providing space to put up the proposed projects. The process will include;
a) Problem Identification
The main problems associated with spatial planning in Isiolo have been implementation. The previous
local authorities lacked adequate capacity to implement the prepared plan. Thus CIDP and the MIP will
put into consideration enough capacity for plan implementation and enforcement.
b) Community consultation: Various attempts to implement the development plans have proved
problematic due to inadequate consultation during the preparation stage. The CSPE will ensure
publicity of the plan preparation which will culminate into various consultations at the ward levels. It will
53
also entail selection of seven member planning committee at the ward level to represent the community
in spatial plan preparation stage.
b) Sensitization: After the adoption of the plan there will be widespread sensitization to the public on
planning issues and zoning in different areas. This will ensure that all development being carried out in
the county is approved by the county land management board.
d) Environmental Sustainability
As a policy direction and pursuant to the EMEA act, the spatial plan will undergo a strategic
environmental impact assessment to examine the environmental impact it would have. This will ensure
also that the plan is given a clean bill of health and that all major projects anchored spatially on the plan
undergo an EIA.
e) Community participation
The preparation of the county spatial plan will be a consultative process. The preparation team will
encompass a communication expert to devise a strategy to reach the community at the lowest workable
unit of administration.
At every ward, consultative forums will be held to identify the main problems and devise mitigation
strategies. The community will be able to identify their problems as presented during the CIDP
consultation meetings.
This will be followed by formation of planning committees at the ward level. These committees will be
involved during the plan preparation, presentation, adoption and approval. They will ensure that the
community wishes are taken into consideration.
After the plan preparation it will be presented to the community at the ward levels for feedback sessions
and a wider stakeholder’s session including the CSOs and other government agencies. During these
feedback sessions, the members will be able to propose changes to the county spatial plan and come
up with alternative strategies. The completed plan will be published pursuant to the physical planning
Act Cap 286 to ensure that comments are given on displayed plans within 60 days.
e) Methodology
Notice of intention (Leading Daily Newspapers )
Preparation of a base map
Community consultative meetings (ward level, county headquarters)
Preparation of plan proposals. (draft plan)
Presentation to the community at ward level and the headquarter
Incorporation of comments (Radio and TV talks, intensive consultations)

3.2.9 Spatial reconstruction
The county spatial reconstruction will be manifested by implementing the county spatial plan at the
following levels:
Level 1: County wide spatial strategy
Level 2: Urban plans preparation
Level 3: Detailed spatial plans
54
Level 1: County Spatial Plan
The spatial plan will be prepared to identify the existing resources and to place the proposed projects
spatially. This plan is envisaged to anchor all the development projects in the CIDP spatially with
special consideration on environment impacts, congmenty of land uses and centrality of growth centers.
The plan will provide a basis for demarcation of fragile ecosystems for protection, urban areas (centers)
demarcation, interconnectivity, proposed land for irrigation, grazing areas, human settlement areas and
various government installations such as the Army Barracks. This plan will provide a framework for both
urban and subsequent rural planning.
Level 2: Urban Plans
This will entail preparation of urban plans for the growth centers i.e. Isiolo Town, Merti, Garba Tulla,
Kinna and Modogashi. These growth centers will be given priority as action areas of the county spatial
plans. These plans will provide a framework for controlling development in these centers and will entail:
Zoning for various land uses
Planning and development standards.
Delineation of the urban areas boundary based on their projected growth.
Setting apart of all government land (both National and County)
Mechanisms for protection of fragile ecosystems
Programmes of actions
The Urban Plans will ensure consultation among all the urban actors to ensure inclusivity and collective
responsibility during the implementation stage.
Level 3: Detailed Area Plans
These will emanate as an action area from the urban plans. These plans will be prepared for urban
design purposes and specifically for various themes or subject within the stated centers. The main
issues to be addressed in these plans will include:
Street Lighting
Roads Opening/Widening
Urban renewal/Conservation
Urban Beautification
Public Utilities Layouts etc
Storm Water Drainage
These plans will be geared to reconstruction of urban areas to improve their functions. These plans will
be precise to both in terms of measurements and the costs of the projects. They will be mainly geared
for immediate or short term implementation.
55
CHAPTER FOUR: LINKAGE WITH OTHER PLANS
4.1 Introduction
This chapter discusses the County Integrated Development Plan linkages with the Kenya Vision 2030
County Sector Plans, County Spatial Plans and Township Plans It also provides a brief status of
Millennium Development Goals at the County level.
4.1.1 Integrated Development Planning
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 level, 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”
4.2 Legislation on Integrated Planning in Kenya
4.2.1 The County Government Act 2012
In fulfilment of constitutional requirement to legislate preparation of county plans, the County
Government Act 2012 details the goals and procedures of “County Planning” (Part XI of the Act).
County planners are required to prepare 5-year integrated county development plans and annual
county budgets to implement them.
Under Article 100(h) of the Act, county planning is expected “to provide a platform for unifying planning,
budgeting, financing programmes, implementation, and performance review”. A county planning unit
shall be responsible for “coordinated integrated development planning”. County plans will have the goal
of promoting harmony with national and other county plans, land-use plans, urban planning and
environmental conservation.
Section 104 (1) of the County Government Act, 2012 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 executive committee and approved by the county assembly”. It also states that the county
planning framework (as in the definition above) shall integrate economic, physical, social,
environmental and spatial planning. In addition to an integrated county development plan, each county
is expected to have the following:
i. A County Sectoral Plan;
ii. A County Spatial Plan; and
iii. A City and Urban Areas Plan.
These county plans (section 107(2)) “shall be the basis for all the budgeting and planning in a county”.
4.2.2 Transition to Devolved Government Act, 2012
Under the Transition to Devolved Government Act (2012), the Transition Authority is expected “to
provide mechanisms for capacity building requirements” of the new county authorities to prepare the
appropriate plans and budgets.
56
4.2.3 Public Finance Management Act (PFMA), 2012
The Public Finance Management Act (PFMA), 2012, emphasizes what the County Government Act
states but puts a slightly different emphasis on planning. Whereas the County Government Act
requires a “five-year County Integrated Development Plan”, the PFMA (Part IV (126) (1)) requires both
a long-term and medium term plan. According to the PFMA, a budget process for the county
government in any financial year shall consist of the following stages:
i. Start with an integrated development planning process, which shall contain both short term and
medium term plans.
ii. Every county shall prepare a development plan as per Article 220 (2) of the constitution.
iii. Budgets are to be based on projects and other expenditure contained in the plan.
4.2.4 Urban Areas and Cities Act, 2011
Urban Areas and Cities Act (2011) also emphasizes the need for 5 year integrated development
planning and aligning annual budgeting to the plan. Section 36(2) of the Act states that “an integrated
urban or city development plan shall bind, guide, and inform all planning for development and decision-
making and ensure comprehensive inclusion of functions.”
4.2.5 CIDP Linkages with Kenya Vision 2030 and Second Medium Term Plan
2013-17
Sessional Paper Number 10 of 2012 on Kenya Vision 2030 is the National Policy Economic Blueprint
that entrenches Kenya Vision 2030 as the long term development strategy for Kenya. The Kenya Vision
2030 aims to transform Kenya into a modern, globally competitive, middle income country providing a
high quality of life to all its citizens. Kenya Vision 2030 is a product of a highly participatory, consultative
and inclusive stakeholder’s process conducted throughout the country and in all sectors of the
economy.
The Vision is anchored on three key pillars: economic; social; and political. The Economic Pillar aims to
achieve an average Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth rate of 10 percent per annum and sustain
the same till 2030 in order to generate more resources to meet its envisaged goals and aspirations.
The key sectors of the Vision’s economic pillar include: tourism, agriculture and livestock,
manufacturing, wholesale and retail trade, Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) and financial services.
A seventh sector, oil and other mineral resources has been included under the economic pillar in view
of the recent discovery of fossils fuels and other mineral deposits in the country.
The Vision’s Social Pillar seeks to build a just and cohesive society with social equity in a clean and
secure environment. The main sectors under this pillar include education and training, health, water and
irrigation, environment, housing and urbanization, gender, sports, youth and culture. The Political Pillar
aims at realizing a democratic political system founded on issue based politics that respect the rule of
law, and protects the fundamental rights and freedoms of every individual in the Kenyan society.
The three pillars are anchored on a number of foundations, which serve as enablers that create an
environment that is geared towards the realization of Vision 2030. These include: macroeconomic
stability; continuity in governance reforms; enhanced equity and wealth creation opportunities for the
poor; infrastructure; energy; Science, Technology and Innovation; Land Reforms; Human Resource
Development; Security and Public Sector Reforms. An additional enabler, national values and ethics,
has been included following the passing of the Constitution of Kenya 2010.

The Kenya Vision 2030 is being implemented through successive five year Medium Term Plans. The
first plan covered the period 2008-2012. The Medium Term Plan (MTP 2013-17) is the second in a
series of successive 5-year plans under which the Kenya Vision 2030 is to be implemented. The
second MTP 2013-2017 draws on lessons learnt in implementing the first MTP. It seeks to implement
the flagship projects identified under Vision 2030 over the five year period together with incomplete
flagship and other projects and programmes in the previous Medium Term plan. It will also take due
cognizance of the devolved structure of government following promulgation of the Constitution of Kenya
2010 and recent discovery of oil and mineral resources.
The broad key priority areas of the Second MTP include: employment creation; development of human
resource through expansion and improvement in quality education, health and other social services;
reducing the dependence of the economy on rain fed agriculture through expansion of irrigation; higher
investment in alternative and green sources of energy; improving the economy’s competitiveness
through increased investment and modernization of infrastructure; increasing the ratio of saving,
investment and exports to GDP; implementation of key Kenya Vision 2030 Flagship projects including
development of the LAPSSET Corridor; improving national security; promoting national values and
ethics; and continued implementation of the Constitution including devolution.
County Government Act, 2012, stipulates that county government shall plan for the county and no
public funds shall be appropriated outside a planning framework developed by the County Executive
Committee and approved by the County Assembly. This Act along with the Public Financial
Management Act, 2012, therefore calls for preparation of a County Integrated Development Plans
(CIDPs) which must be aligned to the National Development Plan. In view of this, County Integrated
Development Plans and other plans provided in the County Government Act will be aligned to Kenya
Vision 2030 and the Medium Term Plan 2013-2017. As such CIDPs will provide the essential linkages
of the National and County Governments by facilitating the implementation of Vision 2030 flagship
projects as well as other projects and programmes that will ensure implementation of Kenya Vision
2030 at both levels of Government.
In order to synchronise development at the national and county level, county governments must
therefore embrace the Kenya Vision 2030 and its Medium Term Plans during preparation of county
development plans. In particular, they are envisaged to support implementation of Vision 2030 flagship
projects that may be domiciled in or cut across the counties. In addition, counties will need to identify
specific projects and programmes for implementation over the medium term period towards
achievement of the Kenya Vision 2030 and MDG goals.
The County Development Profiles form the basis for county planning and development process by
providing the requisite benchmarks and information required for preparation of the CIDPs.
4.3 Implementation of Millennium Development Goals at the County
4.3.1 Overview
Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) are internationally accepted standards for measuring progress
towards poverty alleviation. They were agreed upon at the UN Millennium Summit in 2000 where world
leaders made and adopted a declaration to ‘free all men, women and children from the abject and
dehumanizing conditions of extreme poverty’. The eight MDGs to be met by 2015 are drawn from this
declaration. The eight MDGs have time-bound targets and indicators for measuring progress in the
58
areas of: poverty alleviation, education, gender equality and empowerment of women, child and
maternal health, reducing HIV/AIDS and communicable diseases, environmental sustainability, and
building a Global Partnership for Development. Kenya is one of the signatories to the Declaration and is
committed to achieve the MDGs. This commitment has resulted in commendable progress in achieving
a number of these goals though some are still facing challenges. As we pursue development agenda at
the county level, we need to fast track the achievement of these goals.
With only two years to the end of the MDGs period, a group of world leaders appointed by the UN
Secretary General are working together to find the best way to tackle global agenda on development
after 2015. The post 2015 agenda will have shared responsibilities for all countries and with the fight
against poverty and sustainable development at its core. This agenda will be cascaded in the Medium
Term Plans and County Integrated Development Plans in order to build upon commitments already
made and contribute to the acceleration of achievement of the targets both at the national and county
levels.
4.3.2 Mainstreaming of the MDGs at the County level
MDGs in the County are being addressed within their respective sectors through different interventions
such as implementation of policies and strategies to address the goals. Different goals are at different
levels of achievement. All the goals are still far from being achieved largely due to the socio-economic
condition prevailing in the county. As part of its contribution to the overall aim of improving the quality
life for all Kenyans, the county will continue to mainstream MDGs into its planning, budgeting and
implementation activities in line with Vision 2030 and the Second Medium Term Plan 2013-2017,
thereby contributing to eradication of extreme poverty and hunger, achievement of Universal Primary
Education (UPE), promotion of gender equality and women empowerment, reduced child mortality,
improved maternal health, reduction of national and County HIV and AIDS prevalence rates, malaria
and other major diseases; environmental sustainability and development of global partnership.
Goal 1: Eradicate extreme poverty and hunger - Poverty rate in the county is still very high and
stands at 71 percent. The goal is not likely to be met by 2015 although the government and non
government organizations in the county are implementing programmes namely: KAPAP, NMK, OVC,
CDF, PEC, WEDF, YEDF, and PWDs fund and Water Harvesting for Food Security among others.
These programmes address strategies to achieve food security for all, increase employment, generate
income and reduce poverty.
Goal 2: Achieve Universal Primary Education - The government has provided free primary school
education and the county have continued to benefit from the programme. There has been increased
resource allocation to enhance its delivery through KESSP, CDF and LATF and donors notably ADB.
This has increased enrolment rates in primary schools, translating into improved transition rates to
secondary schools. Currently the gross enrolment rate is 85 percent for primary schools. This is one of
the MDGs that can be met before 2015. The County has also continued to enforce the Children’s Act
through the Children Officers and the Judiciary which demand that all children of school going age must
attend school. The Provincial Administration officers have also played a crucial role of ensuring all
school age going children are in school but has resulted strained both physical and personnel
resources. There is need to increase the physical infrastructure and provide more teachers in order to
address the dwindling quality of education.
Goal 3: Promote gender equality and empower women- The Constitution of Kenya (2010)
promotes gender equality through affirmative action that guarantees women a minimum of 30 percent
59
representation in public appointments and development committees. This may not immediately be
achieved in the county due to high female illiteracy levels which stand at a staggering 85%. The
county has however embarked on civic education programmes to promote girl child education and
encourage women to take up political positions. In addition, there are various government programmes
targeting improving women’s participation in the economy by providing cheap and affordable loans
through PEC, WEDF. Further, there are various privately supported initiatives including microfinance
institutions like KWFT and cooperative societies. Under this CIDP women will be encouraged to fully
utilise these facilities to improve their welfare and contribute to the local economy.
Goal 4: Reduce child mortality- To ensure that children do not die due to preventable diseases; the
government has established an immunisation programme which is free for all children under five years.
In this county the government and its partners have achieved a commendable success rate with
immunisation coverage standing at 90 percent as at 2012.When combined with high vaccination rate of
83.4 percent and further measures that have also been taken to control malaria which is one of the
main causes of child mortality. Child health is expected to improve further.
Goal 5: Improve Maternal Health - The County has continued to ensure that all expectant mothers
continue to benefit from quality and safe health services. The government has abolished user fees in all
health centres. The Ministry of Public Health and Sanitation is also encouraging mothers to deliver in
the nearest maternity facility under the supervision of skilled health workers. The health facility delivery
was 42.5% as at the end of 2012. In order to address this dire situation, the county government in
collaboration with the national government and development partners will commit more resources in
improving maternal health in the county.
Goal 6: Combat HIV and AIDS, malaria and other diseases - HIV/AIDs prevalence rate is currently
down to 4.9/100 from 6.1/100 in 2008. The government is providing free antiretroviral drugs to patients
in designated health facilities through NACC and NASCOP supported programmes. HIV-positive
patients are also given necessary advice and enrolled in antiretroviral therapy (ART), CCC and PMCT
programmes. The government is also supporting OVCs through cash transfers and other mitigation
programmes such as the income-generating activities funded under TOWA. This support will be further
scaled up during the Plan period.
Goal 7: Ensure environmental sustainability - Through NEMA regional offices, the County has
continued to implement the Environment Management Coordination Act (EMCA) of 1999 that provides
the legal and institutional framework for the management of all environmental matters. Through NEMA,
farmers, pastoralists and school children will be encouraged to plant trees especially in water
catchment areas so as to benefit from the carbon credit trading. The county government will prioritise
afforestation programmes during this CIDP period towards reaching the target of 10 % forest cover.
Local environment committees in the county are also implementing regulations to control environmental
degradation, enhance water quality and manage waste disposal. Such strategies include requirements
for carrying out EIA and EA. Expansion of the sewerage systems in Isiolo town is underway and will be
completed by 2015. Construction of sewerage systems for other urban centers in the county will also
be initiated under this CIDP.
GOAL 8: Develop a Global Partnership for Development: The County has mobile network coverage
of 12.3 per cent. There are 10 cyber cafes operating in the county. Due to globalization and need for
information sharing, it is important that the ICT sector be improved. Mobile operators’ network needs to
be improved to cover the entire region. This CIDP will prioritise the development of the ICT sector in the
60
county through collaboration between the county government, neighbouring counties, national
government and the leading private mobile phone providers expand the mobile phone and network in
the county.
4.3.3 Linkage with sectoral plans and township plans
One of the roles of the county government is to facilitate the development of sectoral and township
plans. A county government shall plan for the county and no public funds shall be appropriated outside
a planning framework developed by the county executive committee and approved by the county
assembly. The County plans shall be the basis for all budgeting and spending in a county and it
provides a framework for integrating economic, physical, social, environmental and spatial planning.
The county government designates county departments, cities and urban areas, sub-counties and
Wards as planning authorities of the county. To promote public participation, non-state actors shall be
incorporated in the planning processes by all authorities. County plans shall be binding on all sub-
county units for development within a county. The CIDP will require the other sectors to adopt its use
and also provide the necessary environment including its adoption in the implementation processes.
Through the CIDP, the county development agenda for each sector will be disseminated to the
stakeholders. This calls for the county government to make the CIDP fully operational in the
implementation of all county development activities. The Sector plans will promote the sector priorities
by introducing sector programmes and projects that will transform the county through new innovations.
Urban area integrated plans will be aligned with county integrated development plans and strategies.
They will outline how urban areas will be developed in alignment with the county government plans. For
Isiolo county there will be two town plans namely for Isiolo and Merti. Others small settlements will be
classified as urban centres according to the laid criteria. The county government will further ensure that
all urban areas have development plans.
The county is expected to prepare ten year sectoral plans which will guide the sector development.
These plans will be linked with the county spatial plan, township plans and county development plans.
4.3.4 Linkage with County Spatial Plan
The spatial plans will define the space in which economic and development activities will take place in
the county. More precisely they will specify the areas in which the the various physical projects slated
for implementation under the CIDP will be situated. In this regard the spatial plans will delineate the
areas reserved for industrial zones and manufacturing parks, areas reserved for agriculture and
irrigation, grazing areas, and areas for housing and recreation among others.

CHAPTER FIVE: RESOURCE MOBILIZATION FRAMEWORK
5.1 Introduction
This chapter presents the resource mobilization framework and strategies for managing the resources
within the county. It also indicates the resources that the county can expolit and those available for
development of capital projects. It outlines strategies for raising revenue, asset management, financial
management, and capital financing. Also included in this chapter are strategies to expand the revenue
base , resource sharing with the central government and means of attracting external funding.
5. 1.1 County Resource Analysis
Isiolo County is endowed with natural resources which if well utilized and managed can enable the
county to generate revenue for development. Table 13 below summarizes an analysis of existing
resources in Isiolo County and the current trends and opportunities for their exploitation. The Table
further highlights the key resources held by the County and how the county can take advantage of
them.
Table 11: An analysis of Isiolo County resources

5.1.2 Capital Projects Funding
Capital projects as contained in this plan will be funded through budgetary allocation from the central
and county government, through grants and loans from development partners. The County will explore
different modes of financing including private investments and public private partnerships
arrangements.
5.1.3 Strategies for Raising Revenue and Financial Resources
The Kenya Government is increasingly constrained in mobilizing the required financial and technical
resources to cope with the rising demand for development projects and provision of services. Rapid
economic growth, growing urbanization, increasing rural–urban migration have all compounded the
pressure on the existing resources and infrastructure. Further, donor commitments and resourceshave
been unable to bridge the financing gap.
Governments in developing as well as developed countries have been using PPPs arrangements to
finance infrastructure development and improved delivery of services. Governments have built or are
building transport (roads, railways, toll bridges), education (schools and universities), healthcare
(hospitals and clinics), waste management (collection, waste-to-energy plants), and water (collection,
treatment, and distribution) infrastructure through PPPs. PPPs are therefore becoming the preferred
method for public procurement of infrastructural services throughout the world.
The county will generate revenue from service provision, partnership with non- state actors,
development grants and loans, expanding trade and tourism, encouraging private investments, and
establishing light industries. Isiolo County will strive to host business forums and investor conferences
to attract investment and financing into the county. The county will further explore new and innovative
financing methods to attract private sector investment through a mutually agreed arrangements. Since
neither the public sector nor the private sector can meet the financial requirements in isolation, the PPP
model will be adopted to implement key infrastructure and investment projects in the couty. It is
expected that PPPs will deliver efficiency gains and enhance the impact of investments. The efficient
use of resources, availability of modern technology, better project design and implementation, and
improved operations resulting from PPPs combine to deliver efficiency gains.
The county also expects to gain from resources mobilized by the National Treasury. According to Article
226 of the Constitution, it is the duty of the National Treasury to mobilize domestic and external
resources for financing national and county government. Loans will be another source of funding. The
County Treasury is in charge of mobilizing resources for funding the budgetary requirements of the county
government and putting in place mechanisms to raise revenue and resources.
The county also expects to receive grants from development partners for various projects. It should be
noted that under the PFM Act 2012, regulations approved by parliament shall provide for the
63
administration, control and management of grants, including procedures to ensure that grants are spent
on the basis of the Integrated County Development Plan. Funds channelled through NGOs are further
expected to fund development programmes and projects outiled in this CIDP.
5.1.4 Assets and Financial Management and Accountability
The National Treasury is expected to design and prescribe an efficient financial management system
for the national and county governments to ensure transparent financial management and standard
financial reporting as contemplated by Article 226 of the Constitution. The County Treasury, subject to
the Constitution, will monitor, evaluate and oversee the management of public finances and economic
affairs of the county government including developing and implementing financial and economic policies in
the county; preparing the annual budget for the county and coordinating the preparation of estimates of
revenue and expenditure of the county government; coordinating the implementation of the budget of the
county government; mobilizing resources for funding the budgetary requirements of the county government
and putting in place mechanisms to raise revenue and resources.
The County Treasury will ensure compliance with accounting standards prescribed and published by the
Accounting Standards Board from time to time. It will also ensure proper management and control of,
and accounting for the finances of the county government and its entities in order to promote efficient
and effective use of the county's budgetary resources.
In conformity with the constitutional requirements, the county will undertake to develop functional
county planning units and improve on plan reporting and implementation, develop fund raising policy,
adopt modern asset management models including tracking, utilization and maintenance and develop
human resource capacity to maximize efficiency and lastly maximization of resources potential through
adoption of technology.
The county will put in place the following strategies for managing the assests and finances of the
county: improve revenue management system (using online based systems) reduce leakage, increase
revenue base and efficiency, improve budget design and implement expenditure control systems linked
to budget and desired outcomes and adopt technology based accounting and reporting systems.
5.1.5 Resources from the Central Government
To support the devolution framework, several acts of parliament have been enacted: The Urban and
Cities Act 2011; The County Government Act, 2012; The transition to Devolved Government Act 2012;
The Inter-government Relations Act, 2012; The Public Finance Management Act, 2012; The County
Government Public Finance Transition Act, 2013. The constitution and many of these laws require
“Integrated Development Planning” as the process of enhancing efficiency and effectiveness of
budgeted funds and addressing the county mandate under the constitution of Kenya 2010.
Release of funds from the national government will depend on whether a county has developed an
integrated development plan. 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 level, 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.
64
Part XI of the County Government Act 2012 obligates the county government to ensure harmony of the
integrated development plan with the national plans, and other sub-county plans such as sectoral plan,
spatial plans and urban and city plans which are located in the county. In accordance with article 106,
the plan will thereby provide mechanism for linking the county and national planning processes with the
MTEF budgetary system.
The budget process for county governments consists of an integrated development planning process,
which include both long term and medium term planning. The integrated plan establishes a financial
and economic priorities for the county over the medium term and makes an overall estimation of the
county government's revenues and expenditures.
Based on the Commission on Revenue Allocation, Isiolo County was allocated Kshs. 2.4- 2.8 billion for
the FY 2013/14. This allocation has been determined based on the county population (45%), poverty
index (20%), land area (8%) basic equal share (25%) and fiscal responsibility (2%). Although prorated,
prudent public resource management as stipulated in the PFM Act 2012 will determine the amount the
county receives in future on fiscal responsibility. These resources from the central government and from
revenue collected locally and development partners resources, will be spent on completion of on-going
projects and programmes and projects that:
a) Contribute to growth of the county economy and raising the levels of income per capita;
b) Focus on poverty alleviation and increasing job opportunities;
c) Communities/stakeholders have identified and recognized as important
through public participation fora; and proposals
d) Are sustainable within the projected fiscal framework for the MTEF period.
65
CHAPTER SIX: DEVELOPMENT PRIORITY PROGRAMMES AND PROJECTS
(Ongoing, Stalled, Outstanding/Unfunded and New)
6. 0 Introduction
This chapter presents a highlight of programmes identified in Kenya Vision 2030; MTEF consultative
forums; the Second Medium Term Plan 2013-17; MTP Consultations and other development
consultations at devolved levels. The chapter presents the projects and programmes as follows;
Ongoing projects, (flagship and others), stalled projects, outstanding proposed projects and new
proposals.
The programmes and projects are presented along Medium Term Expenditure Framework (MTEF)
sectors namely Agriculture and Rural Development; General Economic, Commercial and Labour
Affairs; Energy, Infrastructure and ICT; Environmental Protection, Water and Housing; Health;
Education; Governance, Justice, Law and Order; Public Administration and International Relations; and
Social Protection Culture and Recreation. For each of the MTEF sectors, the national sector vision and
mission are stated. In addition, the county’s response to the sector vision and mission and the role of
the stakeholders are explained. Finally, the prioriy programmes and projects identified during in the
Medium Term Plan (2013-2017) are presented as new proposals. Also included in the Chapter are
Cross Cutting issues in each sector.
6.1 Agriculture and Rural Development
This sector includes the following sub-sectors: Agriculture, Livestock Development and Marketing,
Cooperative Development, Lands, Fisheries Development, Forestry and Wildlife, National Land
Commission, Research and Development.
This is a major sector in the County since the majority of the people depend on livestock for their
livelihood. Agricultural production however has varied over the years due to erratic rainfall pattern in the
County
6.1.1 Sector Vision and Mission
Vision
An innovative and commercially-oriented Agriculture and Rural Development Sector
Mission
To improve livelihoods of Kenyans through promotion of competitive agriculture, sustainable livestock
and fisheries sub-sectors, growth of a viable Cooperatives sub sector, equitable distribution and
sustainable management of land resources and sustainable management of forestry and wildlife
resources.
6.1.2 County Response to Sector Vision and Mission
The Agriculture sector is key in realizing the Kenya Vision 2030. It is the avenue through which the
County can realize its vision of food security. Food security is a prerequisite for success of other
development interventions. Almost 80 percent of the community’s income is derived from livestock
related activities and therefore efforts to increase the per capita earnings must target increasing
production and productivity and value-addition in the livestock sector.
66
The livestock sub-sector is supported by the expansiveness of the county and availability of natural
vegetation even with low rainfall levels. To promote productivity of livestock in the county, efforts must
be made to curb livestock diseases by making the county a livestock disease free zone, provide water,
market informantion systems, marketing infrustructure and extension services to the herders’
continuously. Measures will be taken to rehabiliate holding grounds, establish quarantine stations,
stock routes, establish disease testing systems for livestock, and watering points for livestock. These
will further facilitate the development of the disease free zone. Strategies to improve livetcok breeds
through artificial insemination will also be pursued during the implementation phase of this CIDP. The
County government will also liase with the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock, and Fishries and other
stakeholders to establish viable extension services in the county and increase the staffing levels of
agriculture and livestock extension officers. The County will also focus on expansion of the irrigated
hecterage from curren 600 hectares to 2,000 hectares, enterprise development, cooperative
development improving access to credit and value addition by creating light industries.
To facilitate development of the agriculture and addresss land issues, the County government will
collaborate with the the Ministry of Lands and Housing and the National Land Commission in
establishing field offices in the county and establishment of County Land Management Boards.

6.1.5 Strategies to Mainstream Cross-cutting Issues
Women Empowerment
Women are disadvantaged as they have no collateral required to obtain credit. This issue will be
addressed by ensuring access to credit by the women and youth through the Women Enterprise Fund,
Youth Fund and the UWEZO Fund. Capacity building of women and youth groups will also be
undertaken with an aim of strengthening them and equipping them with skills that they can use in
coming up with viable income generating activities.
Environmental Conservation
Farmers will be trained by the Department of Agriculture on environmental conservation and
appropriate farming methods so as to reduce environmental degradation. They will also be supported to
develop resilience and adaptation skills. Similar training will be offered to pastoralits to address issues
related to environmental conservation.
HIV/AIDS
HIV/AIDS sensitization programmes will be undertaken for farmers. Extension officers will sensitize
farmers and pastoralists on issues of HIV/AIDS including protection and treatment. This is expected to
reduce infections by a reasonable percentage. The county government will also endevour to partners
with organizations supporting programmes on HIV/AIDS to create awareness in irrigation fields, grazing
fields and market places.
Poverty reduction
The County Government will invest substantially in agricultural and rural development through sinking
of boreholes, development of infrastructure for irrigation, game farming, livestock production, and
marketing. The industrial sub-sector will play a paramount role in initiating hides and skins processing
in the County hence adding value to these products and therefore enabling pastoralists to fetch higher
82
incomes. The youth and women will be encouraged to form cooperatives to undertake small scale
irrigation initiatives. The agriculture and rural development sector is expected to be a source of
employment with opportunities created in the light industries and value addition.
Climate Change
Isiolo County being an arid area, the farmers and pastoralists are exposed to various vulnerabilities
occasioned by climate change These include: drought and un-predictable rainfall, floods, spread of
water-borne and vector-borne diseases, loss of forests and wetland ecosystems, land degradation and
desertification and scarcity of potable water. In order to mitigate the effects of climate change,
agricultural extension officers and veterinary officers will train farmers on issues of climate change,
adapatation strategies and building resilience. The County government will also collaborate closely with
the National Drought Management Authority (NDMA) in putting in place appropriate mitigation and
adaptation measures. Further, Green employmentopportunities in organic product industries, organic
farming, clean production systems and renewable energy will be prioritized.
Drought and unpredictable rainfall impacts negatively on the County’s economy. It leads to reduced
crop yield, loss of income for farmers, famine and malnutrition. Some of the adaptation strategies to
mitigate against the impact of reduced crop yield are: the introduction of drought resistant crop
varieties, use of community irrigation, use of water saving irrigation, and putting more land into
production.
6.2 General Economic Commercial and Labour Affairs
This sector comprises of the following sub-sectors: Trade, East African Community,Tourism,
Industrialization, Labour, and Regional Development Authorities Research & Development
6.2.1 Sector Vision and Mission
Vision
A globally competitive economy with sustainable and equitable socio-economic Development, where
citizens operate freely across borders.
Mission
To promote, coordinate and implement integrated socio-economic policies and programmes for a
rapidly industrialising economy.
6.2.2 County Response to Sector Vision and Mission
The County has enormous potential in tourism, trade and hospitality industries by virtue of the centrality
of the county, the rich natural resource endowment and the International airport under construction.
With Isiolo Town destined to become a Resort City, the tourism sector offers a high potential for
investment and growth of the County.
In addition, development of the hotel industry for tourists visiting the area can contribute immensely
towards employment creation within the County. If the tourism sub-sector can be properly managed, it
can contribute immensely towards the economy of the County. This is because of the presence of a
variety of wildlife in game reserves and conservancies such as Buffalo springs, Bisanadi, and the Lewa
Downs conservancy.
83
The main raw materials available in the County are agricultural products. However, there is lack of
value addition for these products which is a major challenge. This implies that development of
industries to process agricultural products into final products will increase farmers and pastoralists
income and at the same time provide employment to the local population.
6.2.3 Role of Stakeholders
Stakeholders Role
Finance institutions Provide both credit and technical support to entrepreneurs.
Private Sector Generation of investment opportunities, markets and employment to entrepreneurs.

services such as water, infrastructure and other necessary services to the business

IV) Strategies to Mainstream Cross-cutting Issues
Poverty Reduction
The sector will mainstream cross cutting issues in all the sector activities. The trade sub-sector provides
the bulk of employment opportunities either directly or indirectly. Additionally, revenue generated by the
county government will help promote development projects to improve the living standards of the
people hence ease poverty related problems. The creation of EPZ, development of light industries and
enterprise development training are all geared toward poverty reduction.
HIV/AIDS
The county will put in place strategies to ensure continuous sensitization on HIV/AIDS to industrial
workers and those in tourism sub-sector. Individuals in the industrialization sub-sectors will be
sensitized on the dangers of engaging in dangerous sexual practices as these leads to spread of HIV
and ultimate loss of productivity among the infected and affected workers.
89
Climate Change
Climate change will result in scarcity of potable water. This will be worsened by ground water overdraft
and inefficient irrigation systems. The coping mechanism will entail rain water harvesting to ensure that
there is sufficient water in the industries, construction or rehabilitation of reservoirs/dams, integrated
water resource management, ground water recharging and waste water treatment systems. Local level
preventive and coping will directly address vulnerability management and infrastructure.
V) Energy, Infrastructure and ICT (EII)
Provision of adequate and well-maintained infrastructure network is crucial for the overall development
of the county, however, most of it is in deplorable state. This has affected the marketing of livestock and
farm produce and reduced possibilities of growth of urban and rural employment opportunities. The
Kenya Vision 2030 recognizes the importance of infrastructure for sustained economic development. It
also states that the high costs of doing business arising from inadequate and inefficient infrastructure
can prevent the economy from realizing its full potential regardless of the progress on other fronts (ICT,
Agriculture, financial management reforms among others.).
The importance of infrastructure for economic development could hardly be gainsaid, as the
superstructure of a nation’s overall wealth hinges on it. Infrastructure development represents a broad
spectrum of activities and services without which no activity can be undertaken in the economy. It plays
a key role in our society and constitutes the wheels, if not the engine of development. Reliable,
adequate and quality infrastructure increases economic productivity, lowers production costs, improves
quality of life, raises the county’s, regional and global competitiveness, attracts Foreign Direct
Investment (FDI) and helps in modernizing the economy. The visible signs of infrastructure in-adequacy
and inefficiencies include congested roads; costly, insufficient and erratic power supply; long waiting
lists for installation of telephones/power, shortages of clean and safe drinking water, overloaded waste
disposal system and pollution. The sector comprises of the following sub-sectors at the county level:
roads, transport, energy, information and communication, public works, airstrips, infrastructure within
Kenya wildlife services and Research & Development
VI) Sector Vision and Mission
Vision
A World class provider of cost-effective physical and ICT infrastructure facilities and services.
Mission
To provide efficient, affordable and reliable infrastructure for sustainable economic growth and
development through construction, modernisation, rehabilitation and effective management of all
infrastructure facilities.
VII) County Response to Sector Vision and Mission
Economic growth and poverty reduction within the County will highly depend upon the state of physical
infrastructure. The sector has the following subsectors: Roads, Transport, Energy, Housing, Public
works and Kenya Wildlife Services (Roads, Airstrips and other infrastructure)
The roads link various sectors and allow access to inputs for production and outputs for consumption.
They also provide s direct employment opportunities for the people during construction and
90
maintenance. The roads connect and assist in accessing social facilities like schools, hospitals and
hence contribute to the increase in literacy levels and improvement in health standards.
The provision of electricity in the urban, rural as well as other market centres in the County will help to
stimulate economic activities especially in the Jua-Kali sub-sector. By 2017 it is expected that all the
schools, health care facilities and markets will be linked by an efficient road system, electricity and
communication facilities. In this regard, the county government will also undertake PPP arrangements
such as Build Operate and Transfer to expand and modernize the County’s infrastructure including
energy, water and road projects.

XI) Strategies to Mainstream Cross-cutting Issues
Poverty Reduction
Most of the projects are tailored towards alleviating extreme poverty. The Ministry of Transport and
Infrastructure will continue using labour intensive methods in order to provide employment to the local
population during the routine road maintenance. Priority will be given to women and youth when
awarding the contracts and when hiring labourers.
HIV/AIDS
Roads contractors will be required to have an HIV/AIDS charge clause in their contract. These funds
will go into programmes aimed at fighting HIV/AIDS among the communities.
Environmental Degradation
Contractors will be required to have environment conservation clause when contracting for works. They
will be required to address environmental concerns such as filling of gullies which are near roads when
constructing the roads.
Climate change
Climate change is expected to result in be an increase in precipitation in some seasons. Due to this the
County is expected to be adversely affected by flash floods. Some of the negative impacts include:
outburst floods, landslides and erosion, energy insecurity (disruption of hydropower systems) and
98
destruction of infrastructure. To be able to adapt to these effects there is need to do reconstitution of
basin slopes, restoration of silted ponds, afforestation and reforestation, early warning systems and
raising awareness, construction of shelters for displaced population, planning settlements in low risk
areas, diversification of energy (wind, solar, biogas), resettlement of communities at risk, and
construction of water gates and culverts. To be able to control landslides and erosion, infrastructure
planning will be undertaken together with integrated land use plans.
XII) Environmental Protection, Water and Housing
The sector comprises of Environment and Mineral Resources, Water, Irrigation
& Housing
XIII) Sector Vision and Mission
Vision
Sustainable access to adequate water and housing in a clean and secure environment.
Mission
To promote, conserve and protect the environment and improve access to water and housing for
sustainable national development.
XIV) County Response to Sector Mission and Vision
Provision of adequate water for domestic and agricultural purposes will contribute to increased food
production within the County. This will ensure there is food security, increased income to farmers and
help in achieving food self sufficiency within the Sub-County. Water is an environmental resource
necessary not only to support life but also sustain economic activities across different sectors.
Sanitation and waste management are closely related to human health. The provision of proper waste
disposal and sewerage systems avails a clean environment for the residents and reduces the
occurrence of water borne diseases. A clean and secure environment will ensure that the entire
population is healthy. The availability of water stimulates the growth of the other sub-sectors including
agriculture, livestock and industries. The establishment of the resort city in Isiolo will result in huge
water demands for the project. The County Government will work closely with the Ministy of Water
Environment and Natural Resources (MWENR) and all other relevant stakeholders to expand water
supply and sanitation systems for the resort city and the county residents.
The National Water Master Plan has outlined projects to be implemented under the Ewaso Ngiro North
Catchment Area (ENNCA) for the development of water supply, sewerage and sanitation facilities and
irrigation. In this regard, the Isiolo County Government will work with MWENR to facilitate
implementation the projects in Isiolo County.

6.4.5 Strategies to Mainstream Cross-cutting Issues
Gender Inequality
The drilling of boreholes, construction of water storage tanks and construction of pans shorten the time
taken to fetch water. As a result, children and women who spend most of their time fetching water will
have adequate time to engage in other economic activities. Women will also be incorporated as
members of water management committees.
HIV/AIDS
116
The HIV/AIDS message will be passed on to the communities at watering points and water
management committees and user associations will be trained on HIV/ AIDS.These campaigns will be
directed towards secondary school students and men and women who are employed to do labour
intensive activities such as tree planting and dam de-silting.
Climate Change
Drying up of wells, rivers and boreholes is a major risk arising from climate change. As a matter of fact
some places which used to have water no longer have water. This is evidenced by drying up of rivers
such as river Bisanadi. Coping mechanism to be put in place will include the keeping of manageable
figure of livestock due to water scarcity. Farmers and pastoralists will also be advised to harvest rain
water for both human and livestock consumption. Large numbers of is livestock are also feared to be
depleting the fragile ecosystem in the region. Ways will be devised to ensure pastoralists maintain
optimal numbers of livestock.
High Poverty Levels
Meaures will be put in place for the department of water to employ the less fortunate members of the
society when undertaking labour– intensive activities such as desilting of dams. The Department of
Environment will also employ women and youths when undertaking its tree planting programmes.
6.5 Health Sector
This sector comprises of: Medical Services, Public Health and Sanitation, Research and Development.
6.5.1 Sector Vision and Mission
Vision
An efficient and high quality health care system that is accessible, equitable and affordable for every
Kenyan.
Mission
To promote and participate in the provision of integrated and high quality promotive, preventive,
curative and rehabilitative health care services to all Kenyans
6.5.2 County Response to Sector Vision and Mission
To fulfil the vision and mission, the sector at the county level has adhered to the government health
policy by providing subsidized services, which are affordable to the community. The county government
will work with the Ministry of Health and other stakeholders to roll out the Community Health Strategy in
the county and also ensure that community health workers are adequately remunerated. Community
Health High Impact interventions will be scaled up to enhance access to helath services by
communities. Additionally, the county government will support the youth and girls from the county to
enrol in public health training institutions.
117
There exists a waiver/exemption system for those who cannot afford minimum user fees and therefore
ensuring access to health services by all. The sector will continue to educate the public on disease
prevention measures and health promotion. It will also continue to provide curative services and
conduct immunization for preventable diseases.
The capacity of referral sytems in the county will be enhanced and the county government will
undertake construction, rehabilitation and upgrading of health infrastructure and equipment including
level 4 facilities. The County will also establish fully fledged low cost diagnostic centers to provide
screening and treatment facilities for persons with chronic or terminal conditions, including cancer,
diabetes and kidney failure.
In line with the Draft Kenya Health Policy (2012-2030) the County Government will set up a professional
and technical county health management team to coordinate the delivery of county level health
services. The team will also liase closely and work under the direction of the County Executive
Committee to facilitate provision of health care services at the county level.

6.5.5 Strategies to Mainstream Cross-cutting Issues
HIV/AIDS
The County will target the youth in its HIV/AIDS prevention programmes as they are most vulnerable.
Health practitioners will also be target pregnant mothers when attending antenatal clinics.
Gender inequality
The County will develop strategies that will promote involvement of vulnerable groups such as the
disabled, youth and women in socio-economic development. The enrolment of girl child in schools will
be encouraged through sensitization on the importance of educating girls.
Climate Change
Community health workers will be encouraged to sensitize communities of climate change during their
normal operations. Health hazards such as kalaazar occur from flash floods that hit the region. Others
include cholera from polluted water due to floods. In the event of a flood, communities will be
encouraged to protect themselves by using boiled water. Communities residing at lower grounds will
be encouraged to shift to higher grounds.
Climate change is expected to lead to a scarcity of potable water. The coping mechanism will entail
rain water harvesting, construction or rehabilitation of reservoirs/dams, integrated water resource
management, ground water recharging and waste water treatment systems. Local level preventive and
coping mechanisms will directly address vulnerability management and infrastructure. As a result of
lack of potable water, communities might end up consuming unclean water leading to proliferation of
disease. As such the Ministry of Health will be tasked with capacity building activities to educate the
public on how to cope and adapt to emerging hazards.
Floods will lead to spread of water -borne and vector-borne diseases. This will be worsened by lack of
sanitation services. Adaptation strategies will include: production of bio pesticides, Malaria education
campaigns, creation of database of diseases and vectors, emergency plans and health care
professional training.
6.6 Education Sector

This sector comprises of Education, Higher Education, Science and Technology. There literacy rates in
the county are very low with less 15 percent of the population able to read and write.
6.6.1 Sector Vision and Mission

Mission
“To provide, promote and coordinate quality education and training, integration of science, technology
and innovation in sustainable socio-economic development process”.
6.6.2 County Response to Sector Vision and Mission
The Education Sector will play a crucial role in education and moral upbringing of the youths. The
education sector ensures well educated workforce to work in the other sectors. This in turn translates
to good performance of the sectors managed by learned individuals. The education sector will focus on
access, quality, retention and monitoring of county education services. In collaboration with the national
government a County Technology and Innovations Advisory and Prospecting Center will also be
established to coordinate innovations and technology transfer and adoption at the County level. The
Center will also spearhead and transfer county specific technologies. Additionally it will document,
profile, and secure indigenous knowledge, technologies, and associated biological resources; scienticfic

6.6.5 Strategies to Mainstream Cross-cutting Issues
HIV/AIDS
The County will target the education sector with HIV/AIDS programmes for prevention, management
and managing the impact of HIV/AIDS on the education sector. HIV/AIDS awareness and prevention
will be taught in schools to ensure that the prevalence of HIV rate decreases.
Poverty Reduction
The County will provide education bursaries to students from poor families. Applicants for bursaries will
be strictly vetted to ensure that poor pupils/students benefit. Through establishment of boarding
schools, scholarships and school award schemes more poor children will access education.
133
Gender equality
The enrolment of girl child in schools will be encouraged through sensitization on the importance of
educating girls. Model girl’s schools and boarding schools will be established.
Climate change
Since climate change is becoming a major challenge not only to the County but globally, the subject will
be taught in schools with a major emphasis on how to cope and instigate mitigation measures. Climate
change effects such as drought has had serious effects on school enrolment whereby pupils drop out of
school during periods of calamities.

Strategies to mainstream cross cutting issues will include involvement of communities through the
community policing and peace committees. This will ensure that peace, law and order prevail at all
times. Youth and gender issues will be considered during recruitment of the police and other arms of
the GJLOS. Training on disaster management for all the players in the County will be emphasized.
HIV/AIDS will be mainstreamed in the entire sector.
ICT will also be emphasized and all the functions of the GJLOS will be computerized so that less time is
taken in serving the people. This will increase the service delivery rates thus allowing people time for
other productive activities. Members of the provincial administration will be involved in sensitizing the
community on climate change issues in their barazas. Extra emphasis will be placed on sensitizing the
community on how to cope with the effects of Climate change.

Women groups and Youth groups will be required to initiate income Generating Activities (IGAs). When
funding these groups, priority will be given to income generating activities because this will help in
poverty reduction.
CHAPTER SEVEN: IMPLEMENTATION, MONITORING AND EVALUATION
7.0 Introduction
This chapter presents the monitoring and evaluation framework that will be used at the National and
County level to track progress on implementation of projects and programmes. An indicative matrix
detailing programmes and projects, costing, the implementing agencies, and monitoring indicators is
given as Appendix II.
At the national level, Monitoring and Evaluation is conducted through National Integrated Monitoring
and Evaluation System (NIMES), whose main aim is to improve the effectiveness and quality of tracking
of implementation of various development policies, strategies and programmes. The county and lower
level monitoring and evaluation of projects and programmes are part of this system. It is expected that
Counties will put in place a County Monitoring and Evaluation system to serve the needs of the County
Government, while complimenting the National M & E system. The system will take cognizance of the
projects and programmes included in the CIDP.

7.3 Technical Coordination of programmes and Projects
145
The overall technical coordination of development projects and programmes implemented in the County
will be the responsibility of the County Development Unit (CDPU). To achieve proper project
implementation, the CDPU will prepare quarterly implementation reports on programmes and
projects. The formulation of the work plan will not only take into consideration problems encountered in
the course of project implementation in the preceeding quarter but also will emphasise on the linkages
with appropriate bodies at the Counties and wards, i.e County Executive Committees and County
Development Committees and Ward levels in addressing project implementation problems.
Projects and programmes will be funded by County governments, Ministries’ allocation to government
departments, NGOs and Faith Based Organizations (FBOs), and Grants and Loans from development
partners. PPP arrangements will also be an important source of funding programmes and projects.
Accessing funds for projects and programmes financing is not confined to a particular type of fund
source but may require a combination of different sources.
The County will adopt various strategies towards mobilization of financial and other resources. These
strategies will include the following:
Conduct of Conferences - The County will arrange for a conference inviting International Investors,
NGOs, International Organizations operating in the County, the business community, relevant
government agencies among other stakeholders to provide an excellent opportunity for the various
stakeholders to identify various projects for implementation and soliciting additional financing.
Submissions of Project Proposals to possible financiers - Projects/Programmes that cannot be
funded through normal government budgetary allocations will be submitted to potential donors for
consideration of funding or where possible funded through PPPs. This will be done by the County
Exececutive Committee or by the County Development Committees(CDCs) on behalf of the
communities.
7.4 Monitoring and Evaluation System
Monitoring and Evaluation is important in tracking implementation of programmes and projects in the
County Integrated Development Plan. Monitoring and evaluation will involve all partners and
stakeholders to make sure there is transparency and accountability in implementation of
projects/programmes in the County. Structures for effective M&E will be established or strengthened to
carry out monitoring at different levels of implementation. An IT-based M&E system at the county will
be put in place and linked to NIMES.
Community level Monitoring and Evaluation: The community will be involved in day to day
monitoring of the projects in their village. The County will use organised structures like village
development committees, project management committees, welfare groups, organised groups and
community based organizations. Members of these structures will be trained to effectively monitor and
evaluation of projects and programmes in their areas.
Constituency level Monitoring and Evaluation: Implementation of projects at all levels will be a
combined effort of all development partners and stakeholders at the Constituency level. The Plan will
benefit from the devolved funds and other funds mobilised to implement the projects and programmes.
The implementation of projects and programmes at the constituency level will be monitored and
evaluated by integrated team of stakeholders to ensure that corrective measures and lessons learnt are
incorporated for successful implementation and value addition by the citizens of the Constituency and
146
the County at large. The stakeholder committees will be trained periodically to ensure that they have
capacity to undertake this task.
County level Monitoring and Evaluation: The County Executive Committee will spearhead the
monitoring and evaluation of the projects proposed in the County Integrated Development Plan through
field visits and collection of information from lower level structures and different implementers. The
County through the County Monitoring and Evaluation Committee (CMEC) will prepare quarterly and
annual reports that will be used to gauge the plan implementation. The reports will form the basis of
implementation status and highlight areas of strengthening and capacity building to achieve the
County vision.
Regional Level monitoring: The Regional level Monitoring and Evaluation Committee provide advice
to a conglomeration of Counties on the implementation of projects in the Counties. The committee will
be expected to visit a designated number of Counties periodically to assess and confirm the reports
emanating from the CMEC.
National level monitoring: The Ministry of Devolution and Planning provides guidelines on monitoring
and evaluation in the country outlined in the M&E Policy and the proposed M&E Act. It also provide
guidelines on the indicators to be used in the monitoring of various projects. The County M&E reports
together with other reports will serve as inputs in the preparartion of Annual Progress Reports (APRs)
which highlight progress in implementation of the Second Medium Term Plan
(2013-17) including programmes and projects across the country.

FOREWORD
The Isiolo County Integrated Development Plan (CIDP) covers the period 2013 to 2017 and
outlines the policies, programmes and projects that the Isiolo County Government plans to
implement over the five year period. The CIDP further highlights the programmes and projects to
be implemented by the Isiolo County Government, the private sector, and those to planned for
implementation in partnership with the National Government, Development Partners, NGOs, and
the private sector (PPPs).
The Programmes and projects to be implemented under this CIDP have been informed by
priorities identified through consultations carried out at the grassroot and community level and
through stakeholder consultations at the county level involving government officials, private sector
representatives, representatives of NGOs, youth and women organizations and professionals
from various fields. The Programmes and Projects of this CIDP have also been aligned to the
policies and Plans of the National Second Medium Term Plan 2013-2017 and the various national
sector plans. Chapter Seven of this CIDP outlines the monitoring and evaluation framework which
will involve all stakeholders to ensure that the programmes and projects are implemented in a
timely and cost effective manner.
This CIDP will also be complemented by the Isiolo County Spatial Plan which will delineate the
land set aside for implementation of the projects outlined in this CIDP. I welcome our development
partners, NGOs, foreign and local investors to partner with the Isiolo County Government to
ensure successful implementation of this CIDP and state my assurance to our partners and
investors that the Isiolo County Government will provide the necessary support to ensure that we
succeed in implementing the projects outlined in this CIDP. I take this opportunity to thank the
Isiolo residents for finding time to participate in the grass root consultations and their commitment
and input to this Plan. I will also like to thank all those who contributed one way or the other to the
preparation of the Plan. Finally, I would like to thank members the Isiolo Government County
Executive Committee for their dedication and guidance throughout the preparation of this CIDP. I
therefore call upon all of us to rally behind this Plan so that we can all work together to ensure
success in its implementation so that at the end of the five years we can all look back and see
tangible results and significant improvement in the welfare of Isiolo County residents.
Dr Adhi Godana
Governor, Isiolo County.

INTRODUCTION
The promulgation of a new constitution in 2010 ushered in a new era in Kenya’s system of
governance and management of political, economic and social affairs. Chapter 11 of the Kenyan
constitution created a two-tier level of government leading to creation of 47 counties led by
elected county governments. It has also given priority to participatory integrated development
planning as the foundation upon which the county budgets will be based on.
The County Integrated development Plan (CIDP) is a five year plan prepared by the county
government through wide stakeholder participation to provide an overall framework for
development. The main purpose of the CIDP is to guide, harmonize and facilitate development
within the county by providing a framework upon which all stakeholders in the county will base
their programmes and activities.
Chapter 1: Chapter one of the CIDP provides a detailed background of the county; population;
resource endowments; main economic activities; major development challenges and constraints;
previous development initiatives and their achievements.
Chapter 2: Chapter two describes the County’s developmental strategies based on the
international development goals, the Vision 2030, the Second Medium Term Plan 2013-17, and
other national development policies and plans. In addition, it proposes specific policies and
strategies that the county government plans to use in addressing the challenges and shortcomings
of previous development initiatives.The Chapter also includes the strategies to mitigate the effects
of cross-cutting issues such as climate change, environmental degradation, HIV/AIDS, and
gender inequality among others.
Chapter 3: Chapter three describes the spatial framework within which development projects and
programmes will be implemented and the interconnection among the sectors and regions.
Chapter 4: Chapter four describes the linkages of the County Integrated Development Plan with
the county sector plans, county spatial plans, sub-county plans, national plans and international
commitments made by the government such the MDGS.
Chapter 5: Chapter five sets out the implementation matrix and identifies the institutional
framework and organizational flow required for implementing the County Integrated Development
Plan
Chapter 6: Chapter six outlines the resource mobilization framework, mechanisms and strategies
for revenue raising, asset management, financial management and capital financing.
Chapter 7: Chapter seven provides details of programmes and projects planned for
implementation in the county detailing the strategic priorities, performance indicators and budgets.
Chapter 8: Chapter eight outlines the implementation, monitoring and evaluation framework of
the Plan’s programmes and projects in compliance with Section 108(1) (c) of the County
Government Act.

CHAPTER ONE: COUNTY PROFILE
1.1 Introduction
This chapter gives the background information on the county socio-economic status and physical
infrastructure that has a bearing on the development of the county. The chapter 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 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 and livelihhods; water and sanitation; health access and nutrition, education
and literacy, trade, energy, housing, transport and communication, community development and
social welfare.
1.1.1 Position and Size
Isiolo County is one of the counties in the lower eastern region of Kenya. It borders Marsabit
County to the North, Samburu and Laikipia Counties to the West, Garissa County to the South
East, Wajir County to the North East, Tana River and Kitui Counties to the south and Meru and
Tharaka Nithi Counties to the south West. The county covers an area of approximately 25,700
km2. Figure 2 below indicates the position of the county on the map of Kenya.
Figure 2: Position of Isiolo County on the Kenyan Map
1.2 Physical and Natural Conditions
1.2.1 Physical &Topographic Features
Most of the land in the county is flat low lying plain resulting from weathering and sedimentation.
The plains rise gradually from an altitude of about 200 M above sea level at Lorian swamp
(Habaswein) in the northern part of the county to about 300M above sea level at Merti Plateau.
2
There are six perennial rivers in the county namely; Ewaso Ngiro North, Isiolo, Kinna, Bisanadi,
Likiundu and Liliaba rivers. Ewaso Ngiro North River has its catchments area in the Aberdare
ranges and Mount Kenya. It also serves as a boundary mark between Isiolo North and Isiolo South
constituencies. Isiolo River originates from Mount Kenya and drains into Ewaso Ngiro River. Kinna
and Bisanadi rivers are found in the Southern part of the county and drains into the Tana River.
Likiundu and Liliaba originate from Nyambene hills and drains into Ewaso Ngiro North River.
The county has a combination of metamorphic rocks and other superficial rock deposits. Tertiary
rocks (Olive Basalt) are found in the northern parts of the county, where oil exploration has been
going on. The areas covered with tertiary marine sediments that have a high potential for ground
water harvesting.
1.2.2 Ecological Conditions
The county is classified into three ecological zones namely Semi-Arid, Arid and the very Arid.
Semi Arid zone covers part of Wabera Ward, Bulla Pesa Ward and some parts of Burat Ward in
Isiolo North Constituency. It also covers some Southern part of Kinna Ward in Isiolo South
Constituency. This zone covers five percent of the total area of the county and receives rainfall
ranging between 400 – 650 mm annually. The relatively high rainfall is due to influence of Mount
Kenya and Nyambene Hills in the neighbouring Meru County. The vegetation in this zone is mainly
thorny bush with short grass. Arid zone covers Oldo/Nyiro, Ngare Mara and some parts of Burat
Wards in Isiolo North Constituency and whole of Garbatulla Ward and northern part of Kinna Ward
in Isiolo South Constituency. The zone covers 30 percent of the total area of the county. Rainfall
received here ranges between 300 mm and 350 mm annually and supports grassland and few
shrubs.
Severe arid zone covers Chari, Cherab, parts of Oldo/Nyiro Ward in Isiolo North Constituency and
Sericho Ward in Isiolo South Constituency. These areas account for 65 percent of total area of the
county. Rainfall received here ranges between 150 and 250 mm annually. The area is barren and
very hot and dry most of the year.
1.2.3 Climatic Conditions
The county is hot and dry in most months in the year with two rainy seasons. The short rains
season occurs in October and November while the long rain occurs between March and May. The
rainfall received in the County is usually scarce and unreliable posting an annual average of 580.2
mm. The wettest months are November with an average of 143 mm of rainfall and April with an
average of 149 mm of rainfall.
The erratic and unreliable rainfall cannot support crop farming which partly explains the high food
insecurity and food poverty levels recorded in the county. Rain fed crops are grown in Bulla Pesa,
Wabera and Kinna wards where the black cotton soil retains moisture long enough to make crops
mature.
High temperatures are recorded in the county throughout the year, with variations in some places
due to differences in altitude. The mean annual temperature in the county is 29 degrees
centigrade. The county records more than nine hours of sunshine per day and hence has a huge
potential for harvesting and utilization of solar energy. Strong winds blow across the county
3
throughout the year peaking in the months of July and August. The strong winds provide a huge
potential for wind generated energy.
1.3 Administrative and Political Units
1.3.1 Administrative subdivision (Sub-Counties, Wards, locations)

1.4 Demographic Features
1.4.1 Population Size and Composition
The county’s population stood at 143,294 as per the 2009 Population Census comprising of
73,694 males and 69,600 females. The population was projected to rise to 159,797 by the end of
2012 and 191,627 by 2017. The population consists largely of Cushites communities (Oromo-
speaking Boran and Sakuye) and Turkana, Samburu, Meru, Somali and other immigrant
communities from other parts of the country. The planned massive capital investments under
development of the LAPSSET Corridor including International Airport, Resort City, and oil
storage facilities are expected to boost rapid population growth in the county.

P1= P0*EXP (County Pop Growth Rate*Y) Where Y=No. of Years
Tables 4 and 5 shows the population projection by age cohort. The projections indicate that the
young population (0-14) account for 44.4 percent of the population in 2012 while the aged 65 and
above account for 3.6 percent. Both groups add up 48 percent of the population giving a
dependency ratio of 100:187. The large numbers of dependants to the working age population
leads to low savings and places a strain on the existing health and education facilities. Therefore
appropriate measures will be taken to mitigate this.

Under 1 year: Data from the 2009 population census shows that there were 4,539 children in this
age cohort. This population was projected to increase to 5,062 in 2012 and 6,070 in 2017. The
county recorded infant mortality rate of 42 per 1000 (MOH Annual Report, 2012) compared to the
national rate of 43.6. This has been made possible by immunization and children vaccination rate
of 90 percent and 83.4 percent respectively. The county will however strive to achieve 100 percent
rates of immunization and children vaccination to reduce infant mortality to the targeted 35 per
1000 by 2015. On account of this development, the population of the county is projected to
increase by 18 percent over the period of five years (2012-2017) due the declining infant mortality
rate. This calls for an increase in reproductive, maternal and child health care services.
Age Group Under 5 years: This age cohort comprised of 23,303 children in 2009 and is projected
to increase to 25,987 by the year 2012 and 31,163 by 2017.This points to the need to train more
manpower especially for ECD (early childhood development) and for the education sector as a
whole. Increased investment in Infrastructure development in the education sector is also needed
to cater for increase in the number of children. This population is also vulnerable to diseases and
therefore immunization programmes should be stepped up for this group.
Age group 15-49 years: The total population of this age group was projected to increase to
35, 842 in 2012 rising to 39,970 by 2015 and 42,982 by 2017.
Age group 15-64 years (labour force): This is the economically active group of the county.
According to the 2009 census the county had a total labour force of 74,425 comprising of 36,137
females and 38,288 males. This number is expected to rise to 82,996 people in 2012 and 99,529
in 2017 representing a 33.7 percent increase by the end of 2017. The bulk of this labour force is
either unskilled or semi -skilled and mainly engaged in livestock activities. This calls for increased
investments in vocational and technical training, middle colleges and universities to provide the
requisite training and enhance skills for job creation to absorb the ever increasing workforce.
Age Group 65+ years (Aged): This group represents the number of aged population in the
County. The aged population was 5,228 by 2009 and is projected to increase to 6,991
8
representing a 34 percent increase by 2017. This points to the need to expand health care
facilities for the aged and the Old Persons Cash Transfer Fund in order to benefit the elderly.
1.4.2 Population Projections by Urban Centres
Acording to the 2009 population census, The county’s urban centres had a total population of
59,327. Isiolo town had the largest population accounting for over 74 percent of the total urban
population. The least populated was Garbatulla urban centre which accounted for only six percent
of urban population. Table 6 below shows that urban population is project to increase by 22
percent by the year 2015 and 30 percent by 2017. Isiolo town is expected to experience a very
high urban population growth given its upgrade to a resort city, an international airport expected to
be fully operational by 2015, and implementation of other projects under the LAPSSET transport
corridor. This calls for comprehensive planning for existing urban centers and towns and
upcoming ones.

Chari ward 4,781; Cherab ward 15,560; Ngare Mara ward 5,520; and Oldo/Nyiro ward 15,388. The
2009 census results also showed that Isiolo North Constituency had a population density of 6
persons per square Kilometre.
Isiolo South Constituency had a total population of 43,118 distributed as follows: Garbatulla ward
with a population of 16,401; Kinna ward 14,618; and Sericho ward 12,099. The Constituency had
a population density of four persons per Km2. There is dire need to have strategic plans and
spatial plans for the two constituencies. Table 7 below present the population distribution and
density by constituency. As indicated in the Table, most of the county’s population is concentrated
in Isiolo North Constituency.

Table 8 below shows the projected populations for Isiolo North and South constituencies. The
projections indicate that Isiolo North constituency will remain the most populated constituency in
the county due to upgrade of Isiolo town to resort city status with a projected population of
133,966 by 2017, up from 117,712 in 2012. On the other hand the population of Isiolo South
constituency is projected to increase from 47,463 in 2012 to 57, 662 by 2017.

1.5 Human Development Indicators
The human development index (HDI) is normally reported in the UNDP Human Development
Reports (HDR) and in Country HDR Reports. It is a composite index measuring average
achievement in three basic dimensions of human development health and longevity (as measured
by life expectancy at birth), education (measured by adult literacy and combined primary,
secondary, and tertiary enrolments), and living standard (measured by GDP per capita in
purchasing power parity terms). Achievement in each area is measured by how far a country has
gone in attaining the following goal: life expectancy of 85 years, 100 percent adult literacy and
enrolments, and real GDP per capita of $40,000 in purchasing power parity terms.
This approach examines broader human development issues and is concerned with both building
up human capabilities and with using those human capabilities fully. It underlines the expansion of
opportunities so that the disadvantaged can do more for themselves through economic, social and
political empowerment. It recognizes that there is no automatic link between economic growth and
human development. Economic growth is necessary but not sufficient to enlarge human choices.
Economic growth provides resources to support health care, education, and advancement in other
Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). In turn, achievements in human development make
critical contribution in assuring quality human capital to spur economic growth via productivity
gains.
10
National human development reports provides a tool for analysis, reflecting people’s priorities,
strengthening national capacities, engaging national partners, identifying inequities and measuring
progress at country level. The basic objectives of human development reports are to raise public
awareness and trigger action on critical human development concerns, strengthen national
statistical and analytic capacity to assess and promote people-centred development; and shape
policies and programmes by providing options and broad recommendations based on concrete
analysis.
One of the main objectives under the Kenya’s economic blue print, Vision 2030, is to provide a
high quality of life for all Kenyans. Article 27 of the Constitution of Kenya (2010) recognizes that
measures should be put in place to encourage affirmative action programmes and policies to
address past inequalities. Economic and social rights to all are also recognized in Article 43.
These include the right to health care services, adequate housing, and sanitation, adequate food
of acceptable quality, clean and safe water and appropriate social security to vulnerable groups in
society.
The 6th Kenya Human Development Report of 2009 introduced a new measure for youth
development in Kenya, the Youth Development Index (YDI). The index was at 0.5817 nationally
but also depicted variations across the regions. The index is a composite of education, income and
survivorship (health) dimensions. The constitution requires measures to be undertaken to ensure
the youth access relevant education and training, have opportunities to participate in political,
social, economic activities, and access to employment as well as protection from harmful cultural
practices.
The major development challenges in the county include poor infrastructure, general insecurity,
unsecure land tenure, poor education, unemployment and drought. These basic enablers of
development is holding the back the county and deterring investment, undermining productive
potential and frustrating local development initiatives. Table 9 below compares national human
development indicators with those of the county.

The Gender Inequality Index (GII)
Gender Inequality Index reflects gender-based disadvantage in three dimensions: reproductive
health, empowerment and the labour market. The index shows the loss in potential human
development due to inequality between female and male achievements in these dimensions. It
varies between 0, when women and men fare equally and 1, where one gender fares as poorly as
possible in all measured dimensions.
11
Kenya has an overall GII of 0.651 (Draft 7th Human Development Report). This however, masks
regional disparities with counties located in Arid and Semi Arid Lands (ASALS) including Isiolo
County having high Gender Inequality Indices. In addition, there are certain groups which are more
likely to experience poverty. These vulnerable groups include children living in poor households,
the disabled and the youth. Improving equity in gender issues and reducing gender disparities will
benefit all sectors and thus contribute to sustainable economic growth, poverty reduction and
social injustices.
The policies, programmes and projects that will be implemented over the five year period of this
CIDP are geared to achieve improvements in all the three indiactors, namely HDI, YDI and GII
and in other indicators of development to ensure that all segments of society in the county are
enabled and enjoy improved living standards and quality of life.
1.6 Infrastructure
1.6.1 Road and Rail Network, Airports and Airstrips
The county has a road network of 975.5 km, out of which only 34 km are bituminised. Gravel and
earth surfaced roads account for 22 percent and 75 percent of the total road surface respectively.
All the earth surface roads are impassable during the wet season and there is an urgent need for
continuous upgrading of these roads to all weather roads standards.
Figure 4: section of paved (Bitumized) Road along Silo Moyale road
The County has 5 Airstrips. Isiolo Airstrips is in the process of being upgraded into an international
Airport as envisaged in the Kenya Vision 2030. The first phase of 1.4 km runway has been
completed. The second phase which includes construction of modern passenger terminus to
handle over 600,000 passengers annually and modern car parks are ongoing and set for
completion in the year 2015.
12
Figure 5: Completed 1.4km runway in the first Phase of Isiolo international
1.6.2 Posts and Telecommunications: Post Offices, Mobile Telephony,
Landline
The only post office in the County is situated in Isiolo town and a sub-post office in Garbatulla
urban centre. There are about 164 telephone connections (landlines) in the County. Around eight
percent (2,090 km2) of the county have mobile network coverage leaving about 92 percent of the
County without mobile phone network coverage. An important development goal is therefore to
lincrease mobile network coverage in the county so that communication could be improved to
better support social and economic activities.
1.6.3 Financial Institutions: Banks, SACCOs and Micro Finance Institutions
There are six Commercial Banks, two Micro-Finance Institutions, and one SACCO and all located
in Isiolo town. The Commercial Banks are: Kenya Commercial Bank, Equity, K-Rep, Cooperative
Bank, Barclays, and Consolidated Bank. The micro finance institutions are: Faulu Kenya and
Kenya Women Finance. Isiolo Mwalimu SACCO operates in the county. Over 70 percent of
households are excluded from financial services. Isiolo South Constituency residents rely on
financial services in Mau town in Meru County.
1.6.4 Education Institutions: Primary and Secondary Schools, Polytechnics, Colleges,
and Universities
The County has 142 public ECD centres and 29 private ones; 115 primary schools of which 93 are
public while 22 are private; and 13 public and 2 private secondary schools. There are no
established colleges or universities in the County but only satellite learning classes for university of
Nairobi and Mt Kenya University offering some few courses. In view of the projected increase in
the young population, there is therefore need to establish more primary and secondary schools,
13
modern polytechnics and a university campus to meet the county’s requirements for educated
and technical manpower.
1.6.5 Energy Access (Main Sources of Energy, Electricity Coverage)
The county’s main source of energy is wood fuel. Over 70 percent of the households rely on fire
wood as their main source of power. This has led to over-harvesting of trees primarily for charcoal
causing extensive land degradation in the county. Of the 31,326 households in the county, only
2,500 have access to electricity. 85 percent of the trading centres, most schools and health
facilities are not connected with electricity. Provision of clean sources of alternative energy will be
critical in slowing down the cutting of trees. It will further save the time spent especially by women
and girls in fetching wood fuel for domestic purposes.
1.6.6 Markets and Urban Centres
There are seven major livestock markets in the county situated in Isiolo, Garbatulla, Kinna,
Modogashe, Merti and Oldo/Nyiro. The main livestock traded include cattle, goats, sheep and
camels. Buyers come from Nairobi, Meru, and as far as the coastal region of Kenyan. There is
only one major town in the county; Isiolo which serves as the county’s administrative
headquarters. The other upcoming urban centres are: Garbatulla, Modogashe, Kinna, Merti and
Sericho.
1.6.7 Housing Types
Most of the houses are constructed of mud, grass and wood. These dwellings are called
“manyata” and are temporary in nature. A total of 9,850 of manyatas are made of mud and sticks
walls while 5,491 are made up of grass and sticks walls. Permanent housing structures are only
found in Isiolo town and other urban centers. In total, the permanent housing structures number
3,220 stone wall houses and 2090 brick wall houses.
1.7 Land and Land Use
Much of the land (80%) is communally owned and is under the trustship trusteeship of the county
government. Government land constitutes 10 % of total land and includes land for schools,
administration, army barracks, and health facilities. The remaining 10% of the land is under private
ownership and was alienated for private investment in housing, industrial and commercial
purposes. Over 80 percent of the land cannot support crop farming and is used as grazing land by
the pastoralists. In some wards areas such Kinna, agro-pastoralism is practised with the
inhabitants engaging in both livestock and crop farming.
14
Figure 6: Open Grazing Land in the County
1.7.1 Mean Holding Size
The livestock land carrying capacity is 25, which imply that only 25 tropical livestock units (TLU)
can sustainably be kept under one hectare of land.
1.7.2 Percentage of Land with Title Deeds
The percentage of land with title deeds is less than 1% . Title deed holders are unwilling to sell
their land to potential investors. Lack of title deeds to the locals poses great challenge as they
cannot use their land as collateral in acquiring loans for development and and are unable to earn
compensation when land is purchased for investment in national development programmes like
the LAPSSET project. Lack of title deeds further discourages willing and potential investors from
investing in the county. There is therefore an agent need to fast track county land titling to public,
private and communal ownership.
1.7.3 Incidence of Landlessness
The land is communally owned. The landless are mainly found in the towns where the poor from
outside the county have not been able to purchase or be allocated plots.
1.8 Community Organizations/Non-State Actors
1.8.1 Cooperative Societies
There are 28 Co-operative Societies in the county. Some of these include: Deedha Multipurpose
cooperative society, Elbote Sacco that deals with miraa trade, Kinna Livestock Marketing
Cooperative. Garfasa Farmers Cooperative engaging in crop farming and the Isiolo camel milk
cooperative society which trades camel milk.
15
1.8.2 Non-Governmental Organizations
Some of the NGOs operating in the County include: Action Aid, Mid-P, Action against Hunger
(ACF), KRCS, African Muslim Agency, Alfalah, Catholic Development Office, UNICEF, World
Vision, Food for the Hungry (FH) and CCK.
1.8.3 Self Help, Women and Youth Groups
There are 60 active women self help groups, 345 community based organizations and 280 youth
groups registered and operating in the county. Most women groups operate revolving funds. The
level of activity of women and youth groups in the county depends on funding from various donors
and government funded initiatives.
1.9 Crop, Livestock and Fish Production
1.9.1 Main crops produced
A large portion of the county is arid and cannot support meaningful crop farming. However, maize,
beans, cowpeas, onions are produced in the areas bordering Meru and Laikipia Counties.
Mangoes, paw paws and other horticultural crops are produced in the existing private small-scale
irrigated farm along rivers.
1.9.2 Hectares under food crops and cash crops
With no rain fed agriculture, the hectares under food crops is small. There are only 1,497 hectares
under food crops production. However, the area under food crops is expected to increase to 2,000
hectares with the completion of Rapsu and Makadaka irrigations schemes.
1.9.3 Average Farm Sizes
The average farm size is one hectare. The relatively small average farm sizes is explained by the
fact that most of the areas in the county are not suitable for rain-fed agriculture and reserved for
grazing.
1.9.4 Main Storage Facilities
Privately owned traditional stores are the main food storage facilities in the county.
1.9.5 Main Livestock Breeds
The backbone of the county’s economy is Livestock production with over 80 percent of the
inhabitants relying on livestock for their livelihoods.
Nomadic pastoralism: Nomadic pastoralism is the more prominent in the county and defines the
lifestyle of most of the county’s inhabitants. It has had a negative impact on the environment due
to the tendency of overgrazing caused by overstocking.
Intensive dairy production: This is less prominent economic activity in the county but lately
gaining importance as a business in the county. Instead of grazing, cows are locked up and fed in
stalls. The animal waste can be recycled into the farms as natural fertilizer and self-sustain the
environment.
16
The main livestock cattle breeds are Zebu and Boran which are drought resistance breeds mainly
for beef production. Goat breeds include the Galla (main), the Small East African and Saanen. A
few farmers also keep dairy breeds like the toggenburg and the Swiss Alpine and many crosses of
local and exotic breeds. The Black Head Persian breed is the dominant sheep breed in the
county. The major breeds of camels found in the county are the Somali, the Turkana and the
Rendille. The market for the county’s livestock are mainly in Nairobi and other neighboring
counties. In order to sustain the livestock industry in the county several measures and policy
interventions need to be put in place to improve the industry and to mitigate the negative effects
of overstocking.
Figure 7: Livestock Market in Belgesh in Isiolo County
1. 9.6 Number of ranches
The county has several ranches. A ranch neighbouring Lewa Wildlife Conservancy is used as a
breeding ground of Black Rhinos. Borana ranch is a group ranch and is a home to 50 indigenous
tree families and over 300 species of bird life. Its unique geographic situation makes the 35,000
hectare ranch a haven for a wide diversity of wildlife: buffalo, eland, Jackson's hartebeest and
herds of Grant's gazelle, the highly endangered species grevy gazelle, impala and Burchell zebra
roam its plains.
1.9.7 Main Fishing Activities and Types of Fish Produced
The main types of fish caught are caroes, tilapia, barbus and labeo. Fishing activities are carried
out in fish ponds which are being promoted by the Fisheries department.
1.10 Forestry and Agro Forestry
1.10.1 Main Forest Types and Gazetted Forests
Currently two forests are earmarked for gazettement in the county, namely Gotu and Kipsing
forests. The types of trees in found are those suitable for dry areas. These are mainly Acacia
Propopis and Cassiasis species.
1.10.2 Main Forest products
The main forest products are poles, wood fuel, honey, dyes and gum.
17
1.10.3 Promotion of Agro-Forestry and Green Economy
a) Income generating activities including farm forests
This is done through sale of tree seedlings, movement permits of forest products, sale of gums
and resins (small scale).
b) Protection of water catchment areas
KFS (Kenya Forest Services) in collaboration with WaRMA (Water Resources Management
Authority), Ministry of Environment and Mineral Resources are the major players towards
protection of Isiolo River and Bisinandi River catchment areas.
c) Prevention of soil erosion
Soil erosion in Isiolo County is more serious in areas of Oldonyiro. The Land Reclamation office in
Isiolo is coordinating all stakeholders in prevention of soil erosion in the county. This is done
through planting of fruit trees using modern methods of water harvesting in the rehabilitated areas.
d) Provision of wood fuel and Generation of energy for industries
Wood fuel is collected from shrubs and trees on trust land mainly for domestic use. Currently there
are no industries in the county but with the upgrading of Isiolo town to resort city status, many
industrial developments will take place creating huge demand for energy.
e) Improvement of soil fertility
This has been achieved through agro forestry. KFS has been promoting the planting of Greveria
robusta and the lucina species to improve soil fertility. The Lucina species can also be used as
animal feed.
f) Growing of fruit trees for improved nutrition and markets
The fruit trees grown include pawpaw, avocados and guavas.
g) Provision of carbon sinks and Carbon trading
To achieve this objective the KFS and stakeholders will promote tree planting in schools,
institutions and private farms. Efforts to protect acacia totelis species from being cut for production
of charcoal are on going and will be intensfied.
h) Beautification activities in towns, highways, schools, homes and other public places
Kenya Forest Service in collaboration with NEMA, and Financial Institutions such as the KCB has
in the past planted trees in Isiolo town (along the high way), at Isiolo Baraza park and in some
selected schools. The KKV initiative has also assisted in increasing tree cover in the county. Under
the ESP programme, trees were planted in 40 primary schools in the county. The tree planting
programmes and projects will be prioritized in implementing this CIDP.
i) Animal Feeds production ventures
This has been achieved through the production of lucina species. There are efforts to research on
Prosopis julifora species which has proven to be a form of animal feeds. Mordern animal feed
manufacturing plants and methods will also be implemented under this CIDP.
j) Growing and processing plants for medicinal purposes
KFS in collaboration with other stakeholders are looking for ways of coming up with medicinal
farms in the county before the end of 2015. Some of the trees with high medicinal value include:
Neem (Muharobaini), Muringa stenopetala, Terminalia brownii, and mkwaju.
18
1.11 Environment and Climate Change
1.11.1 Major Contributors to Environmental Degradation
The county is hot and dry in most months of the year hence the vegetation cover is very low and
scattered. Charcoal burning, sand harvesting, overgrazing and overstocking in most parts of the
county has been rapidly depleting the vegetation cover leaving land exposed to soil erosion. Much
of the soil erosion is also caused by strong winds which lead to massive environmental
destruction.
1.11.2 Effects of Environmental Degradation
Environmental degradation has led to decreased vegetation cover; increase of environment-
related diseases such as kalaazar, eyes and respiratory problems. During the windy season,
visibility becomes very poor due to huge amount of dust. This has induced increase in both air and
water borne diseases in the county.
1.11.3 Climate Change and Its Effects
Isiolo is one of the most vulnerable counties to climate change in Kenya. Some of the key
vulnerabilities emanating from climate change include drought and unpredictable rainfall, floods,
and spread of water and vector-borne diseases, loss of forests and wetland ecosystems, land
degradation and desertification and scarcity of portable water.
Drought and unpredictable rainfall will impact negatively on the economy of the county leading to
reduced crop yield, low livestock productivity, high livestock mortality, loss of income for farmers,
famine and malnutrition. These impacts will be exacerbated by unsustainable use of ground water.
Merti and Sericho the county’s most arid areas are also expected to be most affected by famine
and malnutrition in the absebce of mitigation measures against climate change.
Some areas of the country are will also experience increased precipitation in some seasons as a
result of climate change. The county is expected to be adversely affected by flash floods with
negative impacts such as sediment pollution, loss of fertility, landslides and erosion, and disruption
of hydropower systems and destruction of other physical infrastructure. The Anthropogenic
amplifiers of floods are: deforestation, unsustainable land use practices and ill-placed
infrastructure.
The spread of water-borne and vector -borne diseases will be exercebated by lack of sanitation
services. This will lead to disease proliferation and compromised public health. This requires
significant mitigation and health planning. Loss of forests and wetland ecosystems will also lead to
loss of biodiversity and ecosystem services. In the absence of mitigation, climate change will lead
to reduced crop yields, community migration and loss of livestock productivity.
In view of the above, this CIDP will put priority on programmes and projects that help to manage
and adapt to climate change.
1.11.4 Climate Change Mitigation Measures and Adaptation Strategies
Some of the adaptation strategies to mitigate against the impact of unpredicatable drought are:
introduction of drought resistant crop varieties, use of community irrigation, use of water saving
irrigation, and putting more land into production. The other risk due to drought and unpredictable
19
rainfall is loss of income to farmers. There is need for improved weather forecasting, introduction
of better adapted livestock, food processing and preservation techniques as well the establishment
of food banks so as to adapt and cope with the the effects of climate change. Diversification of
food production is also necessary.
In order to adapt to effects of floods as a result of climate change, there is need reconstitute basin
slopes, undertake restoration of silted ponds, and initiate afforestation and reforestation
programmes. There is further need for an early warning systems and raising awareness, planning
settlements in low risk areas, constructing hydro power micro-stations, diversification of energy
sources to wind, solar, and biogas, construction of shelters for displaced population, resettlement
of communities at risk, and construction of water gates and culverts. To be able to control
landslides and erosion, infrastructure planning is needed. It is also important to come up with
integrated land use plans.
Adaptation strategies against water-borne and vector-borne diseases include: production of bio
pesticides, malaria education campaigns, establishment of database of diseases and vectors,
emergency plans and health care professional training.
Further, adaptation strategies to loss of forests and wetland ecosystems include: forest fire
management and prevention as well as promoting energy efficiency. Forest conservation and
promotion of other construction materials will be prioritized so as to ease pressure on the county’s
forests.
1.12 Mining
1.12.1 Ongoing Activities
The Government is currently prospecting for petroleum oil in Chari and Cherab wards in Isiolo
North Constituency.
1.12.2 Mining Potential
The county has a lot of potentials for mining. Geological surveys have shown that the county has
untapped deposits of mineral such as blue sapphire Saaer in Duse location, Ruby in Raspu and
Korbesa locations, limestone and Biromix in Merti, and Gas in Merti and Ilango locations. The
county has plenty of sand but its exploitation is haphazard and environmentally unsustainable.
Under this CIDP the county government will put in place reforms to improve and regulate sand
harvesting will also put in place measures to attract investors in the county’s mining sector.
1.13 Tourism
1.13.1 Main Tourist Attractions, National Parks/Reserves
The county has three game reserves namely Shaba, Buffalo Springs, and Bisanadi game
reserves. Samburu and Meru national parks also border the county. The parks and game
reserves in Isiolo County are famously known for their natural beauty and abundance of wildlife.
Most conservancies in the county are also famous for providing sancuatrires to Black Rhinos.
Over fifty indigenous tree families and over 300 species of bird life are found in the county. The
county provides a unique home to wide diversity of wildlife including buffalo, eland, Jackson's
hartebeest and herds of Grant's gazelle, impala and Burchell zebras.
20
Figure 8: Section of Buffalo National Reserve in Isiolo County
1.13.2 Main Wildlife Species
The main wildlife species found in the county includes: Black rhino (Diceros bicornis), African Wild
dog (Lycaon pictus), Giraffe, Elephant, Ostrich, Monkeys, Antelopes, Impala, Giraffe, Leopard,
Waterbuck, Lesser kudu, Greater kudu, Hippo, Grevy zebra, Buffalo, Lion and over 300 species of
birds. There is an urgent need to protect the county’s wildlife from poachers and illegal traders ,
especially killing of elephants for ivory.
1.13.3 Tourist Class Hotels/Restaurants, Bed Occupancy
There are a wide range of hotels and campsites in the county which offer accommodation to
tourists. These include: one five star hotel with a bed capacity 34, two four stars hotels with total
bed capacity of 78, three 3 star hotels with total bed capacity of 250, one two star hotel with a bed
capacity of 311, three one star hotels with total bed capacity 348 and several unclassified hotels
and restaurants.
1.14 Industries
The county has no manufacturing establishments /industries despite a huge potential in livestock
product based industries. The main economic activity in the county is livestock production and this
provide a huge potential for hides and skins processing (Tannery), camel and goat milk processing
industries. The county has a great potential for wood based handicraft industries due to availability
of indigenous suitable trees species. Currently, there are only 10 Jua Kali associations and several
unorganized artisans whose number needs to be determined.
21
1.15 Employment and other Sources of Income
1.15.1 Wage Earners
This accounts for 14.5 percent of the county’s population. Majority of the wage earners are
employed in the hotel industry and public sector. Over 85.5 percent of the populace is not engaged
in formal employment due to high illiteracy levels among the locals.
1.15.2 Self-Employed
60 percent of the county’s population is in rural self employment. 15 percent is in the urban self
employment doing retail trade in various commodity sales such as Miraa trade. Most of the rural
dwellers are engaged in livestock trade.
1.15.3 Labour Force
This constitutes of 80,809 persons in 2012 translating to 51.94 percent of the county’s population.
The labour force is projected at 96,139 by end of 2017. In order to take advantage of the of
employment opportunities that will come with massive investments of the new status of a resort
city, international airport and LAPSSET project, the county needs to invest more on developing the
capacity of the people to be skilled and more specialized.
1.15.4 Unemployment Levels
The county experiences high level of unemployment with over 70 percent of the labour force not
formally employed. This is due to high illiteracy levels coupled by lack of skills. Training and
empowerment are key strategies that the county will focus in this five Plan year period.
1.16 Water and Sanitation
1.16.1 Water Resources and Quality
Three big perennial rivers namely Ewaso Ngiro, Isiolo, and Bisanadi flow through the county.
Rivers Ewaso Ngiro has its catchment area from the Aberdare and drains into the Lorian Swamp.
The Isiolo River originates from Mt. Kenya and drains into Ewaso Ngiro River. Bisanadi river
drains into River Tana. Most irrigation schemes are found along these rivers. Where the site
conditions are suitable, floodwater harvesting facilities for communities in the county can be be
constructed and by excavating shallow pans or ponds.
22
Figure 9: Section of Ewaso Ngiro River at Gotu during Wet Season
Most of the springs are situated within game reserves, and as such, are not accessible to local
people. Data shows a total of 24 springs scattered along major rivers in Isiolo. However, due to
degradation, 12 of these springs with negligible flows seem to have disappeared in recent years.
Over 58 percent of the domestic water is sourced from boreholes and 17 percent from shallow
wells. Fifty nine percent of the total number of water sources are operational during the wet
season, with only 36 percent operational in the dry season. Merti, Garbatulla and Sericho areas
are poorly served with water sources, particularly during the dry season.
In general, water supply in the county can be divided into four majors sources: direct use of natural
water sources such as rivers, streams and springs; developed surface water, such as earth dams,
sand/subsurface dams, tanks and pans; developed groundwater such as wells, shallow wells and
boreholes; and emergency water supply by the government using tankers. Up to 58 percent of the
water sources have saline water hence limiting the availability of potable water, especially for
human consumption.
1.16.2 Water Supply Schemes
The Isiolo Water and Sewerage Company supplies water in Isiolo town. The other supply
schemes are: Merti Water Supply and Garbatulla Water Supply. The following projects
are ongoing Korbesa Community Project, Dadachabasa 15 km Pipeline Project, and
Dadachalaffe Borehole Water Supply Project.

1.16.3 Water Sources (Distance to Nearest Water Points)
In terms of spatial coverage, about 93 percent of the county area lacks access to safe and clean
water within five kilometers reach. Over 175 (73 percent) villages rely on water sources that are
unsafe and beyond five kilometers reach. Some villages in Modogashe area are about 25 km from
the nearest safe water source. The maximum distance cattle can walk without stressing them is 10
km yet 74 percent of the pastoralists walk over 15 km to the nearest water source for livestock.
1.16.4 Sanitation
As much as 81 percent of the households in the county have pit latrines, 56 percent of which are
uncovered. Open defecation by adults and disposal of children feaces in the open is still rampant
in most rural areas of the county. The use of buckets is disappearing and only 15 households still
use them. Currently only 6 percent of the households are connected to the sewerage line in Isiolo
town. The government is expanding the sewerage ponds in Isiolo town (see figure 11) to be able
to connect more households to the sewer line.
24

1.17 Health Access and Nutrition
1.17.1 Health Access (Health Facilities, Personnel)
Over 70 percent of the county’s inhabitants live in the rural areas where health facilities are
inadequate, inaccessible, and unaffordable. The county has two level four health facilities (Isiolo
and Garbatulla level four hospitals), five level (what ?) health facilities and 34 level one health
facilities. Most county’s public health facilities lack adequate personnel. For example, Garbatulla
level two health facility has only one doctor. The doctor: population ratio for the county is 1:20,000.
1.17.2 Morbidity: Five Most Common Diseases in Order of Prevalence
The five most prevalent diseases in the county are: malaria, diarrhoea, stomach ache, respiratory
diseases and flu respectively. Majority of the cases of diarrhoea and stomach ache are associated
with the use of contaminated water especially during the wet seasons.
1.17.3 Nutritional Status Prevalence of Stunting and Wasting In Children Under Five
Years: Height-For-Age, Weight-For-Height, and Weight-For-Age
The prevalence of wasting in children is 3 percent whereas the prevalence of stunting is 18.6
percent. Height for Age prevalence of stunting is 13 percent, weight for height prevalence of
stunting is 8 percent. The weight for age prevalence of stunting is 13 percent. The frequent
famines and poor nutrition contributes to the high levels of wasting and stunting among the
county’s residents
1.17.4 Immunization Coverage
Currently 90 percent of the children in the county have been immunised against various diseases.
Lack of enough health facilities, personnel, inaccessibility of some health facilities due to the poor
terrain and distances explains why it has not been possible to achieve universal coverage of 100
percent immunization.
25
1.17.5 Access to Family Planning Services/Contraceptive Prevalence
The average distance to a health facility is 25 km. Due to this factor coupled by the fact that there
are inadequate health facilities in the county, access to family planning is a big challenge. Up to
73 percent of the women in the county deliver at home with the assistance of traditional mid wives.
More than 60 percent of those in the reproductive age group do not have access to family
planning. The contraceptive prevalence rate is 28 percent.
1.18 Education and Literacy
1.18.1 Early ChildHood Education
There are 142 public ECD centres of which 29 are private. Total enrolment is 8,991 with 5,034
being boys and 3,957 girls. The teacher pupil ratio in the ECD centres is 1:87. This ratio is far
above the optimal of 1:40 implying that the county is running short of ECD teachers. Dropout rate
is nil which means that all the pupils transit to primary schools. Currently the less than five years
age group population is estimated at 25,651 and 90 percent of them are supposed to be attending
ECD centres. This calls for rapid infrastructure development and an increase in manpower in ECD
centres to accommodate this high number.
1.18.2 Primary Education
The county has 23,008 pupils enrolled in primary schools. The number of primary school teachers
is 624. This implies that the teacher/pupil ratio is 1:37. The dropout rate is one percent implying
that most pupils are transiting to secondary schools. However 74 percent of pupils walks/travel for
over five km to reach the nearest public primary school. The current projection of primary school
going children population is 35,989. This implies that over 37 percent of the children who are
supposed to be in primary school are out of school. There is therefore urgent need to come up
with strategies that will keep children in school.
1.18.3 Literacy
Literacy levels in the county are very low as 85 percent of the community members can neither
read nor write. Of the male adult members, only 48 percent are literate. There are 63 adult literacy
classes in the entire county with an enrolment of only 1,835 students out of which 649 are males
and 1,186 are females. There is therefore a dire need to increase the number of adult literacy
classes in the entire county and undertake campaigns to influence enrolment.
1.18.4 Secondary Education
The County has only 15 secondary schools, with an enrolment of 1,822 students (1,278 males and
546 females.) Teacher population in secondary schools stands at 61 with a teacher/student ratio of
1:30 The dropout rate is nil. However 83 percent of the students have to walk/travel for 5 km and
above to reach the nearest secondary school.
1.18.5 Tertiary Education
There are three tertiary institutions in the county. These are St. Josephs Youth polytechnic, St.
Marys Secretarial College, and Isiolo ECD Training centre. More tertiary institutions need to be
constructed in each of the county’s 10 Wards.

CHAPTER TWO: COUNTY DEVELOPMENT ANALYSIS,
CHALLENGES AND OPPORTUNITIES
2.0 Introduction
This chapter highlights the county’s socio-economic challenges, opportunities and strategies. It
also provides a SWOT analysis of cross cutting issues and key development issues that affect the
development of the county. The chapter concludes with a summay of main development issues
and problems affecting the county, their causes, development objectives and potential strategic
interventions analyzed under MTEF sectors and county functions as given in the Fourth Schedule
of the Constitution and gazetted in Legal Notice No 16 of 2013.
2.1 Key Development Challenges
Over time the Government has put in place various strategies to ensure effective implementation
of programmes and projects all geared towards development and poverty reduction in the
County. There has been a considerable achievement for some of these strategies despite various
challenges that affected performance including floods, droughts and disease outbreaks affecting
both humans and livestock.
Figure 12: Human and Livestock Scramble for Water during Drought
2.1.1 Inadequate and Poor Communication Network
The county has a road network of 975.5 km of which only three percent are bituminised. Seventy
seven percent of the roads are earth surfaced and impassable during rainy season. Many
sections of the gravel roads are very rocky and can only be used by heavy vehicles. The bad
roads condition have made the cost of transportation to be quite high and a major hindrance to
free movements of goods and services. There is therefore an urgent need to come up with a
master plan to improve the county’s roads net work in order to facilitate faster and higher
economic growth of the county.
27
The county’s telecommunications network is also very poor. Only 7 percent of the county has
mobile phone network coverage while landline telephone connections are only 164. Internet
access and usage is low as there only 12 cyber cafes in the whole county.
2.1.2 Inadequate Water and Sanitation
The county is prone to drought resulting to poor accessibility to clean water. Water shortage is the
main cause of severe food insecurity. The water shortage mostly affects women and children as
they have to walk long distances to collect water. The average distance to the nearest water
source for most households in the county is 3km. Out of 31,326 households in the county, only 6
and 35 percent have access to piped water and potable water respectively. Scarcity of water has
affected women participation in development as they spend time searching for water at the
expense of other economic activities.
The sanitation situation is acute as open defecation by adults and children is rampant in most rural
areas. On the whole 81 percent of households have pit latrines, 56 percent of which are
uncovered. The use of buckets still exists in some Manyattas. Most urban centres lack sewerage
systems and garbage disposal sites.
2.1.3 Population Growth
The inter-censual census growth rate is high at 3.7 percent. The county’s population growth is
further expected to increase rapidly as Lamu Port-Southern Sudan and Ethiopia Transport corridor
(LAPSSET) projects including the Resort City and International Airport; flagship projects of the
Vision 2030, attract increased migration into the county.
The population of those aged below 15 years is 30% of the total, which is very high compared to
other age cohorts. This is due to poor family planning and results in high dependency rate. The
age group 0-24 years comprises 60 percent of the population and majority of them are
unemployed youth. This implies high dependency ratio, which encourages high consumption
rather than savings and investment. There is therefore need to promote family planning initiatives
to address this situation.
2.1.4 Low Productivity of Land
Due to prolonged drought and poor land management practices such as overgrazing and charcoal
burnin, over the past few years, land has been degrading at a high rate. Much pressure has been
exerted on semi arid zones due to rising influx of pastoralists from the neighbouring counties like
Wajir, Samburu, Garissa and Marsabit. The county will institute measures to protect land from
further degradation and promote diversification of compatible livelihoods by investing in pro-poor
climate resilient livelihood options.
2.1.5 Poor Livestock Marketing Infrastructure
Livestock production supports most livelihoods in the county Despite this the county lacks a vibrant
market for livestock and livestock products. There are very few livestock cooperatives to cushion
pastoralists from exploitation by traders and middlemen in the livestock sub sector. There is
therefore an urgent need to establish modern livestock marketing infrastructure and promote
formation of livestock owners companies and cooperatives for the purpose of marketing both
livestock and livestock products in order to benefit from the economies of scale. There is further
28
need to construct modern livestock product processing facilities including abattoirs for value
addition to livestock products.
2.1.6 Weakness in the Land Tenure System
Land onwership and registration is very low in the county with less than one percent of the land
registered. The low registration of titles has been a constant source of resource based conflicts
and t low revenue collection of land rates which represents a significant loss of over ksh 250
million annually. Faster land adjudication and registration is therefore crucial to faster growth and
development of the county. Without title deeds local inhabitants are constrained with regards to
securing investment loans from banks and Micro Finance Institutions (MFIs) and also wininng
investors confidance.
2.1.7 Low level of Industrial Development:
The County lacks industries especially the agro based industries, which add value to farm and
livestock products and enable farmers and pastoralists to fetch good market prices. There are no
value addition plants such as milk processing plants for agriculture produce such as milk. It is
expected that the already huge investments that the government has made in the livestock sub
sector in construction of an abattoir in Burat ward will assist in adding value to livestock products.
Planned investments in juakali and cottage industries under this CIDP are expected to create
employment opportunities for the growing number of unemployed youth.
To address the issue of lack of manufacturing establishments in the county, the county
government will encourage establishment of agro-based firms for processing products such as:
milk, tomatoes, horticultural products, onions and cereals that can utilize the locally available raw
materials.
2.1.8 Food Insecurity
Available data shows that the County has a food poverty rate of 77 per cent. Majority of its
inhabitants depends primarily on relief food. Furthermore, the quantity of food crops harvested is
low hence exposing families to hunger and malnutrition.
This CIDP will address food insecurity in the county by encouraging farmers to diversify food crops
planted so as to include traditional varieties. Farmers will be given training on on-farm value
addition to their produce. Sustainable land use management practices will be disseminated to
farmer groups for replication. Farmers will further be sensitized on the need to farm two seasons
as opposed to the current single season in a year and the importance of growing early maturing
and disease resistant food varieties. The county government will also support investment in
irrigation as a means of increasing food production and addressing food insecurity in the county.
2.2 Cross-cutting Issues
The following are the cross cutting issues identified in the county; high poverty rates; high
prevalence of HIV/AIDs, rate; gender inequality, Disaster Management, environmental
degradation; Climate Change; and Disaster Risk Reduction. Below is a SWOT analysis of these
cross cutting issues.
2.2.1 High Poverty Levels
With 71 percent of the county population living below the poverty line, there is need to develop
programmes directed at addressing acute poverty especially among pastoralists. This is partly
29
because of insecure land tenure system compounded by breakdow of traditional land
management systems as well climate change effects and incidences of insecurity.
Development of secure land titling to confer ownership, arresting insecurity, supporting traditional
land management practices and further development of programmes and projects on sustainable
land use, provision of water, and disease control all need to be put in place given that the county
economy is greatly dependent on livestock. Pastoralists have been under constant threat of
poverty especially during drought episodes, making them lose large portion of their livestock due
to starvation and lack of water.

Environmental degradation e.g. illegal sand
harvesting, deforestation, quarrying;
Drought.
2.2.2 High Prevalence of HIV/AIDS
HIV/AIDS is a major problem in pastoralists’ communities due to movements of men from one
area to another in search of pastures while leaving their families behind. Further, areas adjacent to
Isiolo town has a heavy concentration of military training camps, and being a transit town, Isiolo
town and the adjoining areas have seen a rise in commercial sex workers.
30
Medical reports from Isiolo level three hospitals indicate that HIV prevalence fell from 6.1 percent
in 2008 to 4.9 percent in 2012. The major affected areas are Isiolo town, Garbatulla, Ngaremara
and Merti. The threat posed by HIV/AIDS is that of an increase of OVCs and in deaths among the
productive population. The pandemic has also increased demand for health services and health
care provision.
Interventions should be multidimesional and county and constituency AIDS technical committees
will mobilize all stakeholders to fight new infections and promote community based care for those
infected and affected by AIDS. Under this CIDP, HIV/AIDs related issues will further be
mainstreamed in all development activities in the county. Increased focus will also be on education
to prevent mother to child transmission.

health facilities;
Inbuilt stigma against HIV/AIDs patients;
Poor road network and means of
communication;
Cultural beliefs.
31
2.2.3 Gender Inequality
Women in the County are more vulnerable to poverty than men. They spend most of their time
searching for water and firewood. In addition, they do not own or control assets like livestock and
rarely take part in decision making as it is a preserve of men. It is also notable that men benefit
more from formal education, as young girls remain at home to help in household chores and
herding. Because of this, women are not able to develop skills that enable them to find gainful
employment or engage in business. They are therefore not able to compete with men in many
spheres of life. There is minimal recognition of the role of women in development across a number
of communities in the county. Primary school droput rates are higher among girls than boys. Most
girls never complete primary education or secondary education. Most of the girls are married at
early ages and perfrom domestic chores as the boy child is more valued among the pastoralist.
In order to address the prevailing gender disparities, the county government will prioritize capacity
building initiatives and take deliberate efforts at empowering women to enhance their status. In
addition, girl child education will be mainstreamed in development, with great emphasis on the
improvement of girl child enrolment and increased focus given to retention of girls in schools.
Efforts will be directed towards strengthening and supporting existing women groups to initiate
income generating projects.
Investment will be made in the provision of potable water for the purpose of reducing the distances
and time taken by women and girls in fetching water and involvement of women in peace and
conflict resolutions in the County will be intensified. Sensitization will be done of community
members to discard negative cultural attitudes and practices towards women and to encourage
gender balanced development.
SWOT Analysis

High level of awareness on development of
the social sector;
Presence of donor programmes addressing
women issues;
Presence of CBOs and civil societies
fighting for gender based rights.
High dependence on donor assistance;
High illiteracy;

Women Enterprise Fund;
Youth Enterprise Fund;
Self help groups (ROSCAS);
Micro finance institutions.
Uwezo Fund
HIV/AIDs;
Political instability;
Disasters;
Insecurity;
Retrogressive cultural practices.
2.2.4 Disaster Management
Isiolo County is a disaster prone region as it is vulnerable to hazards such a drought, floods and
livestock and human disease epidemics. The most prevalent disaster is drought which results in
loss of human life and livestock deaths and causes frequent migration of affected communities.
Such migrations often result in conflicts over grazing rights.
32
Various interventions will be put in place to reduce vulnerability to disasters. Part of these
include; strengthening of EWS (Early Warning Systems), establishment of multi-agency disaster
rapid response teams and strengthening linkages between County level actors and national
operation centre.
SWOT Analysis
Strengths Weaknesses
Well endowed with natural capital
including livestock, minerals, game,
tourists attraction sites, rangeland,
and wide open spaces;
A resilient local community with
developed mechanisms for coping
and adapting to harsh environment.
Presence of NGOs and development
partners assisting in quick response to
emergencies.
Rampant conflict over dwindling scarce
resources ;
Weak human capital base due to low
investment in education;
Poor or non-existent of physical
infrastructure such as roads, hospitals and
telecommunication services in most parts of
the county,
Collapse of traditional pasture management
practices ;
Poor land tenure systems;
Cultural practices which inhibit uptake of
new ideas;
Bad/impassable roads during rainy season;
Low mobile phone and tele- communication
network coverage;
Overstocking of livestock;
Rapid herd growth;
Lack of systems to protect indigenous
intellectual property rights.
Opportunities Threat
Increased government and
development partner interest in ASAL
development ;
Establishment of the National Drought
Management Authority;
Implementation of the Ending Drought
Emergencies (EDE) Programme;
Drive for peaceful co-existence with
other communities in the region;
Value addition for livestock products.
Rampant insecurity in the region;
Endemic poverty and rising population ;
HIV/AIDS;
Low private sector interest in investment in
disaster management;
Growing frequency of climatic shocks;
Overdependence on relief assistance.
2.2.5 Environmental Degradation
The main challenge in the county remains poor management of natural resources and consequent
land degradation. There are no controls over grazing lands, spread of settlements and water
points. Further, no mechanisms exist to ensure equitable sharing of benefits from the natural
resource base. This has led to localized degradation of the environment and intensified community
conflicts over natural resources.
Land pressures in the rangelands are increasingly becoming acute due to influx of pastoralist from
the neighbouring counties leading to an increase in degradation of much of the dry-season grazing
33
areas on which the locals depend. A County Land Policy and Spatial Plan will therefore be
formulated to provide a framework to address many of the land challenges facing the County
including land and boundary disputes, land degradation and sharing of benefits from natural
resources.
Uncontrolled charcoal burning and trade has further led to massive environmental degradation,
leading to decreased vegetation cover and increase in environment-related disasters. The
vegetation cover has been rapidly depleted exposing the area to the threats of floods and strong
winds.
SWOT Analysis
Strengths Weaknesses
Conservation of the environment;
Poor waste disposal culture.
Weak enforcement of waste management and
pollution;
Low afforestation in the county;
Opportunities Threats
Available Availability of casual labor;
Political good will;
Private partnerships;
Many CSOs;
Presence of devolved funds;
Income from Carbon Credits
Fires;
Droughts;
Improper waste disposal and lack of a landfill;
Overstocking.
2.2.6 Climate change
The county is classified as arid with scant vegetation cover. This makes it vulnerable to wind and
water erosion. Some of dangers of climate change experienced in the county include drought and
unpredictable rainfall, floods, and spread of water and vector borne diseases, loss of wetlands
ecosystems, land degradation and desertification and scarcity of potable water. Another
vulnerability is depletion of underground water. Climate change will be worsened by deforestation,
unsustainable land use practices and intensified grazing. It will lead to reduced crop yields,
community migration and loss of livestock productivity. As a mitigation measure, rehabilitation of
degraded lands will be prioritized. Programmes such as afforestation, supporting natural
production of fodder for livestock and enabling traditional grazing patterns that have low impact on
the environment and are adaptable to climate change will further be supported under this CIDP.
In 2006, a severe flood led to loss of human lives and livestock and massive destruction of
property contrasted the following year by a drought in 2007. To manage and lessen the impacts of
climate change and its extreme weather events, the County government will implement mitigation
measures and adaptation strategies that are resilient to extreme climatic events. Traditional and
modern early warning systems and raising of awareness on climate change adaptation strategies
will be accorded priority. The adoption of renewable and alternative sources of energy and proper
environmental management that will not only help in dealing with climate change but also earn the
county the much needed revenue from carbon trading in international market will also be
supported

Lack of appropriate data;
2.2.7 Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR)
Disaster risk reduction is the concept and practice of reducing disaster risks through systematic
efforts to reduce exposure to hazards, lessening vulnerability of people and property through
improved preparedness. Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) aims to reduce the damage, severity and
impact on society and the environment. The DRR efforts have been previously coordinated by the
provincial administration but this has changed with the establishment of the county governments
and it is one of the main devolved functions. Therefore, Isiolo County needs to develop DRR plans
and strategies as well as capacity to deal with disaster. Currently the county lacks fire station and
should fire tragedy happens the consequences are unmanageable
The common disasters in the county therefore include severe drought, floods, famine, tribal
clashes, cattle rustling, and banditry which have all along led to displacement, loss of lives of both
animals and human, loss of shelter and severe degradation of the environment. Uncontrolled
35
charcoal burning and sand harvesting are prevalent thus damaging natural environment in the
County. Inter tribal conflicts arising from cattle rustling and banditry among the neighbouring tribes
(Boran, Turkana and Samburu) has always led to severe fights in the County.
SWOT Analysis for DRR.

2.2.8 The Youths
The youth by definition are the population between the ages of 18 to 35 years. This age group
forms part of the productive age group and in the county it constitutes about 35.2 per cent of the
total population. The youth form a crucial part and play a vital role in the development process of
the county. However in recent times the youthful population has lacked resilience by being more
vulnerable to drugs, HIV and AIDS and other social evils weakening their ability to participate in
the county’s development processes. Past efforts to empower the youth include registration of
youth groups, funding of registered groups, training of youth in health issues, involvement of
youths in meaningful economic activities, involvement in development committees, revival and
equipping of youth polytechnics, creating employment opportunities and putting in place an
enabling environment for entrepreneurial skills development. However, lack of business
entrepreneurial skills, negative attitudes by some leaders on provision of credit to youths, inability
of the staff to reach the youths in remote areas, inadequate staff of the ministry responsible for
youth affairs and drug abuse have affected the youth negatively.

2.8.9 Physically Challenged Persons
This category of the population constitutes about 1.3 per cent of the county’s total population. For
a long time physically challenged persons have been marginalized in all sectors of development
due to a perception that they may not be able to perform duties and other roles in society. They
have also been treated with disrespect and seen as dependants who cannot add value to
economic and developmental processes. Under this CIDP policies and guidelines to mainstream
the physically challenged into development will be developed and implemented .

Strengths Weaknesses
Formation of groups for people with
disabilities;
Involvement of people with disabilities

CHAPTER THREE: COUNTY SPATIAL PLANNING FRAMEWORK
3.1 Introduction
This chapter presents the spatial planning framework which highlights the necessary coordination
between the various sectors such as transport networks and their relationship to agricultural production
and markets; industrial areas and energy projects that supply them; zoning of urban-versus-rural areas;
areas for public facilities and private home developments.
3.2 Spatial Planning
Spatial planning involves apportioning space to various land use to ensure harmony and order in
adjacent land user. It endeavors to ensure that various land uses are located on suitable sites for
enhanced production while not having negative impacts on the adjacent land uses. It also ensures
aesthetics in the urban space and that land as a factor of production is put to the highest and best use.
Spatial planning has become urgent in Kenya especially within the context of paradigm shift in
governance and planning following the creation of 47 counties under the constitution of Kenya (2010).
County spatial planning can assist in cascading global and national development policies to the local
level. It can also help to improve the link between economic planning and budgets and improve the
productivity of investments.
Every county is required to prepare its county integrated development and spatial plan as well as
integrated development and spatial plans for a city, municipality and town in their county to qualify for
classification in line with section 54 of the Urban Areas and Cities Act, 2011. Spatial plans have a
regulatory and developmental function in a county.
Isiolo County spatial Plan will provide the needed overall integrated spatial framework for coordinating
the various development efforts by different agencies so as to have sustainable development within the
county.
3.2.1 Significance of the spatial plan to county Development
The spatial plan will allow the county to coordinate growth and achieve county wide objectives. It will
facilitate funding for investment, infrastructure and social services. Further, it will provide a link
between various growth areas. It will specify areas for new housing, business and industrial areas,
and for infrastructure across the county.
The county spatial plan is a statutory document that will set out the strategic policies that guide where
development is located in the context of the next 20 years. The Plan will enhance the sustainability of
both rural and urban settlements in Isiolo county . It is envisaged to protect and enhance the natural ,
environment as well as deliver an accessible, integrated and sustainable transport system. It will enable
measures to increase tourism revenue by zoning wildlife areas and parks, protect water points for the
wildlife and hence reduce the human wildlife conflict.
The objectives of county spatial planning include:
Identification of the spatial distribution of the resources within the county, their level of
utilization and potential;
Assessing the conditions of existing infrastructure, capacity and projected demand;
51
Identifying fragile ecosystems and recommend intervention measures for their protection and
conservation;
Investigation of human settlement trends and propose an appropriate strategy to spur
development of urban and rural centers l to facilitate development;
To asses capacity of the existing institutions and organizations and recommend strategies to
enhance their performance;
To t recommend an integrated spatial framework that will guide the sustainable utilization of
the regional resources, bring services closer to the people;
Spur rural-urban inter-linkages and hasten economic growth and development; and.
Recommending priority areas for intervention.
3.2.2 Previous Planning Interventions
Isiolo was designated as a district in 1909 where it was classified as zones for UASO Borana and the
Sekuye grazing areas by the colonial government. The township was demarcated to provide the
headquarters for the Northern frontier province. The first spatial plan for Isiolo was for Isiolo Township.
It was prepared by the colonial government. A spatial plan for Modogashi bordering Garissa was
prepared in 1974 ; however, it was marred by boundary disputes thus not implemented. In the year
2006, a physical planning team prepared a local physical development plan for Modagashi which was
approved in 2007. Ngaremara physical plan was prepared in 2010. However, the residents have
previously petitioned for its revision to reflect current development trends on the ground.
3.2.3 The Legal and Institutional framework
The spatial planning framework is anchored on the County Government Act (2012), the physical
planning Act, the Constitution (2010) and the Cities and Urban areas Act (2011). The county spatial
plan contains the urban plans, zoning plans, the subject plans and development plans. The Isiolo
County Spatial plan will address the following: Alienation of Urban areas, alienation of forests and game
reserves, the establishment of the county boundary, the establishment of county grazing areas,
alienation of government vital installations e.g KWS, Army barracks, the Airport, and the Resort city. It
will outline the detailed planning needs for urban areas, the transportation networks and
interconnectivity, identify the natural resources, their spatial distribution and how well they can be
utilized. It will further investigate the human settlement trends, their access to infrastructure and
services and propose measures to ensure they thrive sustainably.
3.2.4 Urbanization in the County
Isiolo Town is the major urban center in the county and serves as the county headquarters. It covers
approximately 65 km2. The main factor behind the growth of Isiolo Town is its strategic location on
the transit corridor A2 road linking Nairobi to Addis Ababa in Ethiopia. Isiolo town started as a base for
King’s African Riffle. The colonial government declared the Northern Frontier district in 1909 covering
the whole county and other northern parts of Kenya with its headquarters in Meru. However, in 1928,
the colonial government recognized the strategic position of Isiolo as a gateway to the North, Somali
and Abyssinia and decided to move the district headquarters to Isiolo
3.2.5 Human Settlements
A settlement refers to a permanent or temporary community in which people live. It can range from a
small number of dwellings grouped together to the largest of cities with the surrounding urbanized
areas. An analysis of human settlement patterns in a region is critical in planning terms. The pattern of
human settlement in a region is influenced by the population dynamics of that area and the two have an
embryonic relationship. Other factors influencing human settlement include availability of water, soil
52
fertility, availability of productive resources, other natural resources and general production capacity,
level of economic development, location of industry and urbanization among others. Settlements
change in size and form and respond to the changing economic and social development of the
surrounding areas.
3.2.6 Human Settlement Policy
In Kenya, the Human Settlement Policy is espoused in the detailed Human Settlement Strategy of
1978. This strategy is an overall framework for the management of urban growth and location of
Physical Development in the urban and rural areas of Kenya so as to develop “a coherent system of
human settlement”. Five strategies were outlined to achieve the above:
The development of service centres;
The development of growth centres;
The development of an integrated transportation and communication system;
Rural Development; and
The development of appropriate standards for urban infrastructure
3.2.7 Land Use pattern
The current urban population in the county is about 42%. This is based on the fact that there are
scattered urban and rural centers centered around water points which become administrative centers.
Insecurity in the region is also a push factor thus security institutions attract settlement. The urban
areas (growth and service centers) including Isiolo, Merti, Garba Tulla, Kinna and Modogashi portray a
pattern where about 70% of the land is residential with various residential neighborhoods distinctively
named with the local dialects.
The remaining 30% of land use within the county urban areas forms the commercial, industrial sites
and administrative centers. Outside the growth centers, the county hosts two Army barracks and
grazing areas, forests and national reserves. A small area of the county’s land area i.e 600 hectares is
currently under irrigation. Due to their contribution to the economy of the county, the spatial plan will
provide measures to protect and preserve the livestock grazing areas and the two existing national
reserves.
3.2.8 Spatial plan and CIDP Planning Process.
The essence of the spatial plan will be to anchor all the development projects proposed in the CIDP and
budgeted for in the five year plan. This will include transportation networks, housing development,
employment areas i.e. industrial and commercial areas and government installations. Priority will be
given to the projects proposed by the community. The plan will provide strategies for land banking to
ensure that land is kept for strategic Public Private Partnerships (PPP) or government investment. The
objective is to integrate economic, social, ecological policies and proposals with the spatial plan by
providing space to put up the proposed projects. The process will include;
a) Problem Identification
The main problems associated with spatial planning in Isiolo have been implementation. The previous
local authorities lacked adequate capacity to implement the prepared plan. Thus CIDP and the MIP will
put into consideration enough capacity for plan implementation and enforcement.
b) Community consultation: Various attempts to implement the development plans have proved
problematic due to inadequate consultation during the preparation stage. The CSPE will ensure
publicity of the plan preparation which will culminate into various consultations at the ward levels. It will
53
also entail selection of seven member planning committee at the ward level to represent the community
in spatial plan preparation stage.
b) Sensitization: After the adoption of the plan there will be widespread sensitization to the public on
planning issues and zoning in different areas. This will ensure that all development being carried out in
the county is approved by the county land management board.
d) Environmental Sustainability
As a policy direction and pursuant to the EMEA act, the spatial plan will undergo a strategic
environmental impact assessment to examine the environmental impact it would have. This will ensure
also that the plan is given a clean bill of health and that all major projects anchored spatially on the plan
undergo an EIA.
e) Community participation
The preparation of the county spatial plan will be a consultative process. The preparation team will
encompass a communication expert to devise a strategy to reach the community at the lowest workable
unit of administration.
At every ward, consultative forums will be held to identify the main problems and devise mitigation
strategies. The community will be able to identify their problems as presented during the CIDP
consultation meetings.
This will be followed by formation of planning committees at the ward level. These committees will be
involved during the plan preparation, presentation, adoption and approval. They will ensure that the
community wishes are taken into consideration.
After the plan preparation it will be presented to the community at the ward levels for feedback sessions
and a wider stakeholder’s session including the CSOs and other government agencies. During these
feedback sessions, the members will be able to propose changes to the county spatial plan and come
up with alternative strategies. The completed plan will be published pursuant to the physical planning
Act Cap 286 to ensure that comments are given on displayed plans within 60 days.
e) Methodology
Notice of intention (Leading Daily Newspapers )
Preparation of a base map
Community consultative meetings (ward level, county headquarters)
Preparation of plan proposals. (draft plan)
Presentation to the community at ward level and the headquarter
Incorporation of comments (Radio and TV talks, intensive consultations)
Publication of completed plan and adoption
3.2.9 Spatial reconstruction
The county spatial reconstruction will be manifested by implementing the county spatial plan at the
following levels:
Level 1: County wide spatial strategy
Level 2: Urban plans preparation
Level 3: Detailed spatial plans
54
Level 1: County Spatial Plan
The spatial plan will be prepared to identify the existing resources and to place the proposed projects
spatially. This plan is envisaged to anchor all the development projects in the CIDP spatially with
special consideration on environment impacts, congmenty of land uses and centrality of growth centers.
The plan will provide a basis for demarcation of fragile ecosystems for protection, urban areas (centers)
demarcation, interconnectivity, proposed land for irrigation, grazing areas, human settlement areas and
various government installations such as the Army Barracks. This plan will provide a framework for both
urban and subsequent rural planning.
Level 2: Urban Plans
This will entail preparation of urban plans for the growth centers i.e. Isiolo Town, Merti, Garba Tulla,
Kinna and Modogashi. These growth centers will be given priority as action areas of the county spatial
plans. These plans will provide a framework for controlling development in these centers and will entail:
Zoning for various land uses
Planning and development standards.
Delineation of the urban areas boundary based on their projected growth.
Setting apart of all government land (both National and County)
Mechanisms for protection of fragile ecosystems
Programmes of actions
The Urban Plans will ensure consultation among all the urban actors to ensure inclusivity and collective
responsibility during the implementation stage.
Level 3: Detailed Area Plans
These will emanate as an action area from the urban plans. These plans will be prepared for urban
design purposes and specifically for various themes or subject within the stated centers. The main
issues to be addressed in these plans will include:
Street Lighting
Roads Opening/Widening
Urban renewal/Conservation
Urban Beautification
Public Utilities Layouts etc
Storm Water Drainage
These plans will be geared to reconstruction of urban areas to improve their functions. These plans will
be precise to both in terms of measurements and the costs of the projects. They will be mainly geared
for immediate or short term implementation.

CHAPTER FOUR: LINKAGE WITH OTHER PLANS
4.1 Introduction
This chapter discusses the County Integrated Development Plan linkages with the Kenya Vision 2030
County Sector Plans, County Spatial Plans and Township Plans It also provides a brief status of
Millennium Development Goals at the County level.
4.1.1 Integrated Development Planning
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 level, 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”
4.2 Legislation on Integrated Planning in Kenya
4.2.1 The County Government Act 2012
In fulfilment of constitutional requirement to legislate preparation of county plans, the County
Government Act 2012 details the goals and procedures of “County Planning” (Part XI of the Act).
County planners are required to prepare 5-year integrated county development plans and annual
county budgets to implement them.
Under Article 100(h) of the Act, county planning is expected “to provide a platform for unifying planning,
budgeting, financing programmes, implementation, and performance review”. A county planning unit
shall be responsible for “coordinated integrated development planning”. County plans will have the goal
of promoting harmony with national and other county plans, land-use plans, urban planning and
environmental conservation.
Section 104 (1) of the County Government Act, 2012 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 executive committee and approved by the county assembly”. It also states that the county
planning framework (as in the definition above) shall integrate economic, physical, social,
environmental and spatial planning. In addition to an integrated county development plan, each county
is expected to have the following:
i. A County Sectoral Plan;
ii. A County Spatial Plan; and
iii. A City and Urban Areas Plan.
These county plans (section 107(2)) “shall be the basis for all the budgeting and planning in a county”.
4.2.2 Transition to Devolved Government Act, 2012
Under the Transition to Devolved Government Act (2012), the Transition Authority is expected “to
provide mechanisms for capacity building requirements” of the new county authorities to prepare the
appropriate plans and budgets.
56
4.2.3 Public Finance Management Act (PFMA), 2012
The Public Finance Management Act (PFMA), 2012, emphasizes what the County Government Act
states but puts a slightly different emphasis on planning. Whereas the County Government Act
requires a “five-year County Integrated Development Plan”, the PFMA (Part IV (126) (1)) requires both
a long-term and medium term plan. According to the PFMA, a budget process for the county
government in any financial year shall consist of the following stages:
i. Start with an integrated development planning process, which shall contain both short term and
medium term plans.
ii. Every county shall prepare a development plan as per Article 220 (2) of the constitution.
iii. Budgets are to be based on projects and other expenditure contained in the plan.
4.2.4 Urban Areas and Cities Act, 2011
Urban Areas and Cities Act (2011) also emphasizes the need for 5 year integrated development
planning and aligning annual budgeting to the plan. Section 36(2) of the Act states that “an integrated
urban or city development plan shall bind, guide, and inform all planning for development and decision-
making and ensure comprehensive inclusion of functions.”
4.2.5 CIDP Linkages with Kenya Vision 2030 and Second Medium Term Plan
2013-17
Sessional Paper Number 10 of 2012 on Kenya Vision 2030 is the National Policy Economic Blueprint
that entrenches Kenya Vision 2030 as the long term development strategy for Kenya. The Kenya Vision
2030 aims to transform Kenya into a modern, globally competitive, middle income country providing a
high quality of life to all its citizens. Kenya Vision 2030 is a product of a highly participatory, consultative
and inclusive stakeholder’s process conducted throughout the country and in all sectors of the
economy.
The Vision is anchored on three key pillars: economic; social; and political. The Economic Pillar aims to
achieve an average Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth rate of 10 percent per annum and sustain
the same till 2030 in order to generate more resources to meet its envisaged goals and aspirations.
The key sectors of the Vision’s economic pillar include: tourism, agriculture and livestock,
manufacturing, wholesale and retail trade, Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) and financial services.
A seventh sector, oil and other mineral resources has been included under the economic pillar in view
of the recent discovery of fossils fuels and other mineral deposits in the country.
The Vision’s Social Pillar seeks to build a just and cohesive society with social equity in a clean and
secure environment. The main sectors under this pillar include education and training, health, water and
irrigation, environment, housing and urbanization, gender, sports, youth and culture. The Political Pillar
aims at realizing a democratic political system founded on issue based politics that respect the rule of
law, and protects the fundamental rights and freedoms of every individual in the Kenyan society.
The three pillars are anchored on a number of foundations, which serve as enablers that create an
environment that is geared towards the realization of Vision 2030. These include: macroeconomic
stability; continuity in governance reforms; enhanced equity and wealth creation opportunities for the
poor; infrastructure; energy; Science, Technology and Innovation; Land Reforms; Human Resource
Development; Security and Public Sector Reforms. An additional enabler, national values and ethics,
has been included following the passing of the Constitution of Kenya 2010.
57
The Kenya Vision 2030 is being implemented through successive five year Medium Term Plans. The
first plan covered the period 2008-2012. The Medium Term Plan (MTP 2013-17) is the second in a
series of successive 5-year plans under which the Kenya Vision 2030 is to be implemented. The
second MTP 2013-2017 draws on lessons learnt in implementing the first MTP. It seeks to implement
the flagship projects identified under Vision 2030 over the five year period together with incomplete
flagship and other projects and programmes in the previous Medium Term plan. It will also take due
cognizance of the devolved structure of government following promulgation of the Constitution of Kenya
2010 and recent discovery of oil and mineral resources.
The broad key priority areas of the Second MTP include: employment creation; development of human
resource through expansion and improvement in quality education, health and other social services;
reducing the dependence of the economy on rain fed agriculture through expansion of irrigation; higher
investment in alternative and green sources of energy; improving the economy’s competitiveness
through increased investment and modernization of infrastructure; increasing the ratio of saving,
investment and exports to GDP; implementation of key Kenya Vision 2030 Flagship projects including
development of the LAPSSET Corridor; improving national security; promoting national values and
ethics; and continued implementation of the Constitution including devolution.
County Government Act, 2012, stipulates that county government shall plan for the county and no
public funds shall be appropriated outside a planning framework developed by the County Executive
Committee and approved by the County Assembly. This Act along with the Public Financial
Management Act, 2012, therefore calls for preparation of a County Integrated Development Plans
(CIDPs) which must be aligned to the National Development Plan. In view of this, County Integrated
Development Plans and other plans provided in the County Government Act will be aligned to Kenya
Vision 2030 and the Medium Term Plan 2013-2017. As such CIDPs will provide the essential linkages
of the National and County Governments by facilitating the implementation of Vision 2030 flagship
projects as well as other projects and programmes that will ensure implementation of Kenya Vision
2030 at both levels of Government.
In order to synchronise development at the national and county level, county governments must
therefore embrace the Kenya Vision 2030 and its Medium Term Plans during preparation of county
development plans. In particular, they are envisaged to support implementation of Vision 2030 flagship
projects that may be domiciled in or cut across the counties. In addition, counties will need to identify
specific projects and programmes for implementation over the medium term period towards
achievement of the Kenya Vision 2030 and MDG goals.
The County Development Profiles form the basis for county planning and development process by
providing the requisite benchmarks and information required for preparation of the CIDPs.
4.3 Implementation of Millennium Development Goals at the County
4.3.1 Overview
Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) are internationally accepted standards for measuring progress
towards poverty alleviation. They were agreed upon at the UN Millennium Summit in 2000 where world
leaders made and adopted a declaration to ‘free all men, women and children from the abject and
dehumanizing conditions of extreme poverty’. The eight MDGs to be met by 2015 are drawn from this
declaration. The eight MDGs have time-bound targets and indicators for measuring progress in the
58
areas of: poverty alleviation, education, gender equality and empowerment of women, child and
maternal health, reducing HIV/AIDS and communicable diseases, environmental sustainability, and
building a Global Partnership for Development. Kenya is one of the signatories to the Declaration and is
committed to achieve the MDGs. This commitment has resulted in commendable progress in achieving
a number of these goals though some are still facing challenges. As we pursue development agenda at
the county level, we need to fast track the achievement of these goals.
With only two years to the end of the MDGs period, a group of world leaders appointed by the UN
Secretary General are working together to find the best way to tackle global agenda on development
after 2015. The post 2015 agenda will have shared responsibilities for all countries and with the fight
against poverty and sustainable development at its core. This agenda will be cascaded in the Medium
Term Plans and County Integrated Development Plans in order to build upon commitments already
made and contribute to the acceleration of achievement of the targets both at the national and county
levels.
4.3.2 Mainstreaming of the MDGs at the County level
MDGs in the County are being addressed within their respective sectors through different interventions
such as implementation of policies and strategies to address the goals. Different goals are at different
levels of achievement. All the goals are still far from being achieved largely due to the socio-economic
condition prevailing in the county. As part of its contribution to the overall aim of improving the quality
life for all Kenyans, the county will continue to mainstream MDGs into its planning, budgeting and
implementation activities in line with Vision 2030 and the Second Medium Term Plan 2013-2017,
thereby contributing to eradication of extreme poverty and hunger, achievement of Universal Primary
Education (UPE), promotion of gender equality and women empowerment, reduced child mortality,
improved maternal health, reduction of national and County HIV and AIDS prevalence rates, malaria
and other major diseases; environmental sustainability and development of global partnership.
Goal 1: Eradicate extreme poverty and hunger - Poverty rate in the county is still very high and
stands at 71 percent. The goal is not likely to be met by 2015 although the government and non
government organizations in the county are implementing programmes namely: KAPAP, NMK, OVC,
CDF, PEC, WEDF, YEDF, and PWDs fund and Water Harvesting for Food Security among others.
These programmes address strategies to achieve food security for all, increase employment, generate
income and reduce poverty.
Goal 2: Achieve Universal Primary Education - The government has provided free primary school
education and the county have continued to benefit from the programme. There has been increased
resource allocation to enhance its delivery through KESSP, CDF and LATF and donors notably ADB.
This has increased enrolment rates in primary schools, translating into improved transition rates to
secondary schools. Currently the gross enrolment rate is 85 percent for primary schools. This is one of
the MDGs that can be met before 2015. The County has also continued to enforce the Children’s Act
through the Children Officers and the Judiciary which demand that all children of school going age must
attend school. The Provincial Administration officers have also played a crucial role of ensuring all
school age going children are in school but has resulted strained both physical and personnel
resources. There is need to increase the physical infrastructure and provide more teachers in order to
address the dwindling quality of education.
Goal 3: Promote gender equality and empower women- The Constitution of Kenya (2010)
promotes gender equality through affirmative action that guarantees women a minimum of 30 percent
59
representation in public appointments and development committees. This may not immediately be
achieved in the county due to high female illiteracy levels which stand at a staggering 85%. The
county has however embarked on civic education programmes to promote girl child education and
encourage women to take up political positions. In addition, there are various government programmes
targeting improving women’s participation in the economy by providing cheap and affordable loans
through PEC, WEDF. Further, there are various privately supported initiatives including microfinance
institutions like KWFT and cooperative societies. Under this CIDP women will be encouraged to fully
utilise these facilities to improve their welfare and contribute to the local economy.
Goal 4: Reduce child mortality- To ensure that children do not die due to preventable diseases; the
government has established an immunisation programme which is free for all children under five years.
In this county the government and its partners have achieved a commendable success rate with
immunisation coverage standing at 90 percent as at 2012.When combined with high vaccination rate of
83.4 percent and further measures that have also been taken to control malaria which is one of the
main causes of child mortality. Child health is expected to improve further.
Goal 5: Improve Maternal Health - The County has continued to ensure that all expectant mothers
continue to benefit from quality and safe health services. The government has abolished user fees in all
health centres. The Ministry of Public Health and Sanitation is also encouraging mothers to deliver in
the nearest maternity facility under the supervision of skilled health workers. The health facility delivery
was 42.5% as at the end of 2012. In order to address this dire situation, the county government in
collaboration with the national government and development partners will commit more resources in
improving maternal health in the county.
Goal 6: Combat HIV and AIDS, malaria and other diseases - HIV/AIDs prevalence rate is currently
down to 4.9/100 from 6.1/100 in 2008. The government is providing free antiretroviral drugs to patients
in designated health facilities through NACC and NASCOP supported programmes. HIV-positive
patients are also given necessary advice and enrolled in antiretroviral therapy (ART), CCC and PMCT
programmes. The government is also supporting OVCs through cash transfers and other mitigation
programmes such as the income-generating activities funded under TOWA. This support will be further
scaled up during the Plan period.
Goal 7: Ensure environmental sustainability - Through NEMA regional offices, the County has
continued to implement the Environment Management Coordination Act (EMCA) of 1999 that provides
the legal and institutional framework for the management of all environmental matters. Through NEMA,
farmers, pastoralists and school children will be encouraged to plant trees especially in water
catchment areas so as to benefit from the carbon credit trading. The county government will prioritise
afforestation programmes during this CIDP period towards reaching the target of 10 % forest cover.
Local environment committees in the county are also implementing regulations to control environmental
degradation, enhance water quality and manage waste disposal. Such strategies include requirements
for carrying out EIA and EA. Expansion of the sewerage systems in Isiolo town is underway and will be
completed by 2015. Construction of sewerage systems for other urban centers in the county will also
be initiated under this CIDP.
GOAL 8: Develop a Global Partnership for Development: The County has mobile network coverage
of 12.3 per cent. There are 10 cyber cafes operating in the county. Due to globalization and need for
information sharing, it is important that the ICT sector be improved. Mobile operators’ network needs to
be improved to cover the entire region. This CIDP will prioritise the development of the ICT sector in the
60
county through collaboration between the county government, neighbouring counties, national
government and the leading private mobile phone providers expand the mobile phone and network in
the county.
4.3.3 Linkage with sectoral plans and township plans
One of the roles of the county government is to facilitate the development of sectoral and township
plans. A county government shall plan for the county and no public funds shall be appropriated outside
a planning framework developed by the county executive committee and approved by the county
assembly. The County plans shall be the basis for all budgeting and spending in a county and it
provides a framework for integrating economic, physical, social, environmental and spatial planning.
The county government designates county departments, cities and urban areas, sub-counties and
Wards as planning authorities of the county. To promote public participation, non-state actors shall be
incorporated in the planning processes by all authorities. County plans shall be binding on all sub-
county units for development within a county. The CIDP will require the other sectors to adopt its use
and also provide the necessary environment including its adoption in the implementation processes.
Through the CIDP, the county development agenda for each sector will be disseminated to the
stakeholders. This calls for the county government to make the CIDP fully operational in the
implementation of all county development activities. The Sector plans will promote the sector priorities
by introducing sector programmes and projects that will transform the county through new innovations.
Urban area integrated plans will be aligned with county integrated development plans and strategies.
They will outline how urban areas will be developed in alignment with the county government plans. For
Isiolo county there will be two town plans namely for Isiolo and Merti. Others small settlements will be
classified as urban centres according to the laid criteria. The county government will further ensure that
all urban areas have development plans.
The county is expected to prepare ten year sectoral plans which will guide the sector development.
These plans will be linked with the county spatial plan, township plans and county development plans.
4.3.4 Linkage with County Spatial Plan
The spatial plans will define the space in which economic and development activities will take place in
the county. More precisely they will specify the areas in which the the various physical projects slated
for implementation under the CIDP will be situated. In this regard the spatial plans will delineate the
areas reserved for industrial zones and manufacturing parks, areas reserved for agriculture and
irrigation, grazing areas, and areas for housing and recreation among others.

CHAPTER FIVE: RESOURCE MOBILIZATION FRAMEWORK
5.1 Introduction
This chapter presents the resource mobilization framework and strategies for managing the resources
within the county. It also indicates the resources that the county can expolit and those available for
development of capital projects. It outlines strategies for raising revenue, asset management, financial
management, and capital financing. Also included in this chapter are strategies to expand the revenue
base , resource sharing with the central government and means of attracting external funding.
5. 1.1 County Resource Analysis
Isiolo County is endowed with natural resources which if well utilized and managed can enable the
county to generate revenue for development. Table 13 below summarizes an analysis of existing
resources in Isiolo County and the current trends and opportunities for their exploitation. The Table
further highlights the key resources held by the County and how the county can take advantage of
them.

Learther Processing and manufacturing plants
Export of processed livestock products through the
Isiolo International Airport
Honey processing in Leparwa and Oldonyiro
Rehabilitation of rangelands
5.1.2 Capital Projects Funding
Capital projects as contained in this plan will be funded through budgetary allocation from the central
and county government, through grants and loans from development partners. The County will explore
different modes of financing including private investments and public private partnerships
arrangements.
5.1.3 Strategies for Raising Revenue and Financial Resources
The Kenya Government is increasingly constrained in mobilizing the required financial and technical
resources to cope with the rising demand for development projects and provision of services. Rapid
economic growth, growing urbanization, increasing rural–urban migration have all compounded the
pressure on the existing resources and infrastructure. Further, donor commitments and resourceshave
been unable to bridge the financing gap.
Governments in developing as well as developed countries have been using PPPs arrangements to
finance infrastructure development and improved delivery of services. Governments have built or are
building transport (roads, railways, toll bridges), education (schools and universities), healthcare
(hospitals and clinics), waste management (collection, waste-to-energy plants), and water (collection,
treatment, and distribution) infrastructure through PPPs. PPPs are therefore becoming the preferred
method for public procurement of infrastructural services throughout the world.
The county will generate revenue from service provision, partnership with non- state actors,
development grants and loans, expanding trade and tourism, encouraging private investments, and
establishing light industries. Isiolo County will strive to host business forums and investor conferences
to attract investment and financing into the county. The county will further explore new and innovative
financing methods to attract private sector investment through a mutually agreed arrangements. Since
neither the public sector nor the private sector can meet the financial requirements in isolation, the PPP
model will be adopted to implement key infrastructure and investment projects in the couty. It is
expected that PPPs will deliver efficiency gains and enhance the impact of investments. The efficient
use of resources, availability of modern technology, better project design and implementation, and
improved operations resulting from PPPs combine to deliver efficiency gains.
The county also expects to gain from resources mobilized by the National Treasury. According to Article
226 of the Constitution, it is the duty of the National Treasury to mobilize domestic and external
resources for financing national and county government. Loans will be another source of funding. The
County Treasury is in charge of mobilizing resources for funding the budgetary requirements of the county
government and putting in place mechanisms to raise revenue and resources.
The county also expects to receive grants from development partners for various projects. It should be
noted that under the PFM Act 2012, regulations approved by parliament shall provide for the
63
administration, control and management of grants, including procedures to ensure that grants are spent
on the basis of the Integrated County Development Plan. Funds channelled through NGOs are further
expected to fund development programmes and projects outiled in this CIDP.
5.1.4 Assets and Financial Management and Accountability
The National Treasury is expected to design and prescribe an efficient financial management system
for the national and county governments to ensure transparent financial management and standard
financial reporting as contemplated by Article 226 of the Constitution. The County Treasury, subject to
the Constitution, will monitor, evaluate and oversee the management of public finances and economic
affairs of the county government including developing and implementing financial and economic policies in
the county; preparing the annual budget for the county and coordinating the preparation of estimates of
revenue and expenditure of the county government; coordinating the implementation of the budget of the
county government; mobilizing resources for funding the budgetary requirements of the county government
and putting in place mechanisms to raise revenue and resources.
The County Treasury will ensure compliance with accounting standards prescribed and published by the
Accounting Standards Board from time to time. It will also ensure proper management and control of,
and accounting for the finances of the county government and its entities in order to promote efficient
and effective use of the county's budgetary resources.
In conformity with the constitutional requirements, the county will undertake to develop functional
county planning units and improve on plan reporting and implementation, develop fund raising policy,
adopt modern asset management models including tracking, utilization and maintenance and develop
human resource capacity to maximize efficiency and lastly maximization of resources potential through
adoption of technology.
The county will put in place the following strategies for managing the assests and finances of the
county: improve revenue management system (using online based systems) reduce leakage, increase
revenue base and efficiency, improve budget design and implement expenditure control systems linked
to budget and desired outcomes and adopt technology based accounting and reporting systems.
5.1.5 Resources from the Central Government
To support the devolution framework, several acts of parliament have been enacted: The Urban and
Cities Act 2011; The County Government Act, 2012; The transition to Devolved Government Act 2012;
The Inter-government Relations Act, 2012; The Public Finance Management Act, 2012; The County
Government Public Finance Transition Act, 2013. The constitution and many of these laws require
“Integrated Development Planning” as the process of enhancing efficiency and effectiveness of
budgeted funds and addressing the county mandate under the constitution of Kenya 2010.
Release of funds from the national government will depend on whether a county has developed an
integrated development plan. 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 level, 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.
64
Part XI of the County Government Act 2012 obligates the county government to ensure harmony of the
integrated development plan with the national plans, and other sub-county plans such as sectoral plan,
spatial plans and urban and city plans which are located in the county. In accordance with article 106,
the plan will thereby provide mechanism for linking the county and national planning processes with the
MTEF budgetary system.
The budget process for county governments consists of an integrated development planning process,
which include both long term and medium term planning. The integrated plan establishes a financial
and economic priorities for the county over the medium term and makes an overall estimation of the
county government's revenues and expenditures.
Based on the Commission on Revenue Allocation, Isiolo County was allocated Kshs. 2.4- 2.8 billion for
the FY 2013/14. This allocation has been determined based on the county population (45%), poverty
index (20%), land area (8%) basic equal share (25%) and fiscal responsibility (2%). Although prorated,
prudent public resource management as stipulated in the PFM Act 2012 will determine the amount the
county receives in future on fiscal responsibility. These resources from the central government and from
revenue collected locally and development partners resources, will be spent on completion of on-going
projects and programmes and projects that:
a) Contribute to growth of the county economy and raising the levels of income per capita;
b) Focus on poverty alleviation and increasing job opportunities;
c) Communities/stakeholders have identified and recognized as important
through public participation fora; and proposals
d) Are sustainable within the projected fiscal framework for the MTEF period.
65
CHAPTER SIX: DEVELOPMENT PRIORITY PROGRAMMES AND PROJECTS
(Ongoing, Stalled, Outstanding/Unfunded and New)
6. 0 Introduction
This chapter presents a highlight of programmes identified in Kenya Vision 2030; MTEF consultative
forums; the Second Medium Term Plan 2013-17; MTP Consultations and other development
consultations at devolved levels. The chapter presents the projects and programmes as follows;
Ongoing projects, (flagship and others), stalled projects, outstanding proposed projects and new
proposals.
The programmes and projects are presented along Medium Term Expenditure Framework (MTEF)
sectors namely Agriculture and Rural Development; General Economic, Commercial and Labour
Affairs; Energy, Infrastructure and ICT; Environmental Protection, Water and Housing; Health;
Education; Governance, Justice, Law and Order; Public Administration and International Relations; and
Social Protection Culture and Recreation. For each of the MTEF sectors, the national sector vision and
mission are stated. In addition, the county’s response to the sector vision and mission and the role of
the stakeholders are explained. Finally, the prioriy programmes and projects identified during in the
Medium Term Plan (2013-2017) are presented as new proposals. Also included in the Chapter are
Cross Cutting issues in each sector.
6.1 Agriculture and Rural Development
This sector includes the following sub-sectors: Agriculture, Livestock Development and Marketing,
Cooperative Development, Lands, Fisheries Development, Forestry and Wildlife, National Land
Commission, Research and Development.
This is a major sector in the County since the majority of the people depend on livestock for their
livelihood. Agricultural production however has varied over the years due to erratic rainfall pattern in the
County
6.1.1 Sector Vision and Mission
Vision
An innovative and commercially-oriented Agriculture and Rural Development Sector
Mission
To improve livelihoods of Kenyans through promotion of competitive agriculture, sustainable livestock
and fisheries sub-sectors, growth of a viable Cooperatives sub sector, equitable distribution and
sustainable management of land resources and sustainable management of forestry and wildlife
resources.
6.1.2 County Response to Sector Vision and Mission
The Agriculture sector is key in realizing the Kenya Vision 2030. It is the avenue through which the
County can realize its vision of food security. Food security is a prerequisite for success of other
development interventions. Almost 80 percent of the community’s income is derived from livestock
related activities and therefore efforts to increase the per capita earnings must target increasing
production and productivity and value-addition in the livestock sector.
66
The livestock sub-sector is supported by the expansiveness of the county and availability of natural
vegetation even with low rainfall levels. To promote productivity of livestock in the county, efforts must
be made to curb livestock diseases by making the county a livestock disease free zone, provide water,
market informantion systems, marketing infrustructure and extension services to the herders’
continuously. Measures will be taken to rehabiliate holding grounds, establish quarantine stations,
stock routes, establish disease testing systems for livestock, and watering points for livestock. These
will further facilitate the development of the disease free zone. Strategies to improve livetcok breeds
through artificial insemination will also be pursued during the implementation phase of this CIDP. The
County government will also liase with the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock, and Fishries and other
stakeholders to establish viable extension services in the county and increase the staffing levels of
agriculture and livestock extension officers. The County will also focus on expansion of the irrigated
hecterage from curren 600 hectares to 2,000 hectares, enterprise development, cooperative
development improving access to credit and value addition by creating light industries.
To facilitate development of the agriculture and addresss land issues, the County government will
collaborate with the the Ministry of Lands and Housing and the National Land Commission in
establishing field offices in the county and establishment of County Land Management Boards.

6.1.5 Strategies to Mainstream Cross-cutting Issues
Women Empowerment
Women are disadvantaged as they have no collateral required to obtain credit. This issue will be
addressed by ensuring access to credit by the women and youth through the Women Enterprise Fund,
Youth Fund and the UWEZO Fund. Capacity building of women and youth groups will also be
undertaken with an aim of strengthening them and equipping them with skills that they can use in
coming up with viable income generating activities.
Environmental Conservation
Farmers will be trained by the Department of Agriculture on environmental conservation and
appropriate farming methods so as to reduce environmental degradation. They will also be supported to
develop resilience and adaptation skills. Similar training will be offered to pastoralits to address issues
related to environmental conservation.
HIV/AIDS
HIV/AIDS sensitization programmes will be undertaken for farmers. Extension officers will sensitize
farmers and pastoralists on issues of HIV/AIDS including protection and treatment. This is expected to
reduce infections by a reasonable percentage. The county government will also endevour to partners
with organizations supporting programmes on HIV/AIDS to create awareness in irrigation fields, grazing
fields and market places.
Poverty reduction
The County Government will invest substantially in agricultural and rural development through sinking
of boreholes, development of infrastructure for irrigation, game farming, livestock production, and
marketing. The industrial sub-sector will play a paramount role in initiating hides and skins processing
in the County hence adding value to these products and therefore enabling pastoralists to fetch higher
82
incomes. The youth and women will be encouraged to form cooperatives to undertake small scale
irrigation initiatives. The agriculture and rural development sector is expected to be a source of
employment with opportunities created in the light industries and value addition.
Climate Change
Isiolo County being an arid area, the farmers and pastoralists are exposed to various vulnerabilities
occasioned by climate change These include: drought and un-predictable rainfall, floods, spread of
water-borne and vector-borne diseases, loss of forests and wetland ecosystems, land degradation and
desertification and scarcity of potable water. In order to mitigate the effects of climate change,
agricultural extension officers and veterinary officers will train farmers on issues of climate change,
adapatation strategies and building resilience. The County government will also collaborate closely with
the National Drought Management Authority (NDMA) in putting in place appropriate mitigation and
adaptation measures. Further, Green employmentopportunities in organic product industries, organic
farming, clean production systems and renewable energy will be prioritized.
Drought and unpredictable rainfall impacts negatively on the County’s economy. It leads to reduced
crop yield, loss of income for farmers, famine and malnutrition. Some of the adaptation strategies to
mitigate against the impact of reduced crop yield are: the introduction of drought resistant crop
varieties, use of community irrigation, use of water saving irrigation, and putting more land into
production.
6.2 General Economic Commercial and Labour Affairs
This sector comprises of the following sub-sectors: Trade, East African Community,Tourism,
Industrialization, Labour, and Regional Development Authorities Research & Development
6.2.1 Sector Vision and Mission
Vision
A globally competitive economy with sustainable and equitable socio-economic Development, where
citizens operate freely across borders.
Mission
To promote, coordinate and implement integrated socio-economic policies and programmes for a
rapidly industrialising economy.
6.2.2 County Response to Sector Vision and Mission
The County has enormous potential in tourism, trade and hospitality industries by virtue of the centrality
of the county, the rich natural resource endowment and the International airport under construction.
With Isiolo Town destined to become a Resort City, the tourism sector offers a high potential for
investment and growth of the County.
In addition, development of the hotel industry for tourists visiting the area can contribute immensely
towards employment creation within the County. If the tourism sub-sector can be properly managed, it
can contribute immensely towards the economy of the County. This is because of the presence of a
variety of wildlife in game reserves and conservancies such as Buffalo springs, Bisanadi, and the Lewa
Downs conservancy.
83
The main raw materials available in the County are agricultural products. However, there is lack of
value addition for these products which is a major challenge. This implies that development of
industries to process agricultural products into final products will increase farmers and pastoralists
income and at the same time provide employment to the local population.
6.2.3 Role of Stakeholders

IV) Strategies to Mainstream Cross-cutting Issues
Poverty Reduction
The sector will mainstream cross cutting issues in all the sector activities. The trade sub-sector provides
the bulk of employment opportunities either directly or indirectly. Additionally, revenue generated by the
county government will help promote development projects to improve the living standards of the
people hence ease poverty related problems. The creation of EPZ, development of light industries and
enterprise development training are all geared toward poverty reduction.
HIV/AIDS
The county will put in place strategies to ensure continuous sensitization on HIV/AIDS to industrial
workers and those in tourism sub-sector. Individuals in the industrialization sub-sectors will be
sensitized on the dangers of engaging in dangerous sexual practices as these leads to spread of HIV
and ultimate loss of productivity among the infected and affected workers.
89
Climate Change
Climate change will result in scarcity of potable water. This will be worsened by ground water overdraft
and inefficient irrigation systems. The coping mechanism will entail rain water harvesting to ensure that
there is sufficient water in the industries, construction or rehabilitation of reservoirs/dams, integrated
water resource management, ground water recharging and waste water treatment systems. Local level
preventive and coping will directly address vulnerability management and infrastructure.
V) Energy, Infrastructure and ICT (EII)
Provision of adequate and well-maintained infrastructure network is crucial for the overall development
of the county, however, most of it is in deplorable state. This has affected the marketing of livestock and
farm produce and reduced possibilities of growth of urban and rural employment opportunities. The
Kenya Vision 2030 recognizes the importance of infrastructure for sustained economic development. It
also states that the high costs of doing business arising from inadequate and inefficient infrastructure
can prevent the economy from realizing its full potential regardless of the progress on other fronts (ICT,
Agriculture, financial management reforms among others.).
The importance of infrastructure for economic development could hardly be gainsaid, as the
superstructure of a nation’s overall wealth hinges on it. Infrastructure development represents a broad
spectrum of activities and services without which no activity can be undertaken in the economy. It plays
a key role in our society and constitutes the wheels, if not the engine of development. Reliable,
adequate and quality infrastructure increases economic productivity, lowers production costs, improves
quality of life, raises the county’s, regional and global competitiveness, attracts Foreign Direct
Investment (FDI) and helps in modernizing the economy. The visible signs of infrastructure in-adequacy
and inefficiencies include congested roads; costly, insufficient and erratic power supply; long waiting
lists for installation of telephones/power, shortages of clean and safe drinking water, overloaded waste
disposal system and pollution. The sector comprises of the following sub-sectors at the county level:
roads, transport, energy, information and communication, public works, airstrips, infrastructure within
Kenya wildlife services and Research & Development
VI) Sector Vision and Mission
Vision
A World class provider of cost-effective physical and ICT infrastructure facilities and services.
Mission
To provide efficient, affordable and reliable infrastructure for sustainable economic growth and
development through construction, modernisation, rehabilitation and effective management of all
infrastructure facilities.
VII) County Response to Sector Vision and Mission
Economic growth and poverty reduction within the County will highly depend upon the state of physical
infrastructure. The sector has the following subsectors: Roads, Transport, Energy, Housing, Public
works and Kenya Wildlife Services (Roads, Airstrips and other infrastructure)
The roads link various sectors and allow access to inputs for production and outputs for consumption.
They also provide s direct employment opportunities for the people during construction and
90
maintenance. The roads connect and assist in accessing social facilities like schools, hospitals and
hence contribute to the increase in literacy levels and improvement in health standards.
The provision of electricity in the urban, rural as well as other market centres in the County will help to
stimulate economic activities especially in the Jua-Kali sub-sector. By 2017 it is expected that all the
schools, health care facilities and markets will be linked by an efficient road system, electricity and
communication facilities. In this regard, the county government will also undertake PPP arrangements
such as Build Operate and Transfer to expand and modernize the County’s infrastructure including
energy, water and road projects.

XI) Strategies to Mainstream Cross-cutting Issues
Poverty Reduction
Most of the projects are tailored towards alleviating extreme poverty. The Ministry of Transport and
Infrastructure will continue using labour intensive methods in order to provide employment to the local
population during the routine road maintenance. Priority will be given to women and youth when
awarding the contracts and when hiring labourers.
HIV/AIDS
Roads contractors will be required to have an HIV/AIDS charge clause in their contract. These funds
will go into programmes aimed at fighting HIV/AIDS among the communities.
Environmental Degradation
Contractors will be required to have environment conservation clause when contracting for works. They
will be required to address environmental concerns such as filling of gullies which are near roads when
constructing the roads.
Climate change
Climate change is expected to result in be an increase in precipitation in some seasons. Due to this the
County is expected to be adversely affected by flash floods. Some of the negative impacts include:
outburst floods, landslides and erosion, energy insecurity (disruption of hydropower systems) and
98
destruction of infrastructure. To be able to adapt to these effects there is need to do reconstitution of
basin slopes, restoration of silted ponds, afforestation and reforestation, early warning systems and
raising awareness, construction of shelters for displaced population, planning settlements in low risk
areas, diversification of energy (wind, solar, biogas), resettlement of communities at risk, and
construction of water gates and culverts. To be able to control landslides and erosion, infrastructure
planning will be undertaken together with integrated land use plans.
XII) Environmental Protection, Water and Housing
The sector comprises of Environment and Mineral Resources, Water, Irrigation
& Housing
XIII) Sector Vision and Mission
Vision
Sustainable access to adequate water and housing in a clean and secure environment.
Mission
To promote, conserve and protect the environment and improve access to water and housing for
sustainable national development.
XIV) County Response to Sector Mission and Vision
Provision of adequate water for domestic and agricultural purposes will contribute to increased food
production within the County. This will ensure there is food security, increased income to farmers and
help in achieving food self sufficiency within the Sub-County. Water is an environmental resource
necessary not only to support life but also sustain economic activities across different sectors.
Sanitation and waste management are closely related to human health. The provision of proper waste
disposal and sewerage systems avails a clean environment for the residents and reduces the
occurrence of water borne diseases. A clean and secure environment will ensure that the entire
population is healthy. The availability of water stimulates the growth of the other sub-sectors including
agriculture, livestock and industries. The establishment of the resort city in Isiolo will result in huge
water demands for the project. The County Government will work closely with the Ministy of Water
Environment and Natural Resources (MWENR) and all other relevant stakeholders to expand water
supply and sanitation systems for the resort city and the county residents.
The National Water Master Plan has outlined projects to be implemented under the Ewaso Ngiro North
Catchment Area (ENNCA) for the development of water supply, sewerage and sanitation facilities and
irrigation. In this regard, the Isiolo County Government will work with MWENR to facilitate
implementation the projects in Isiolo County.

Gender Inequality
The drilling of boreholes, construction of water storage tanks and construction of pans shorten the time
taken to fetch water. As a result, children and women who spend most of their time fetching water will
have adequate time to engage in other economic activities. Women will also be incorporated as
members of water management committees.
HIV/AIDS
116
The HIV/AIDS message will be passed on to the communities at watering points and water
management committees and user associations will be trained on HIV/ AIDS.These campaigns will be
directed towards secondary school students and men and women who are employed to do labour
intensive activities such as tree planting and dam de-silting.
Climate Change
Drying up of wells, rivers and boreholes is a major risk arising from climate change. As a matter of fact
some places which used to have water no longer have water. This is evidenced by drying up of rivers
such as river Bisanadi. Coping mechanism to be put in place will include the keeping of manageable
figure of livestock due to water scarcity. Farmers and pastoralists will also be advised to harvest rain
water for both human and livestock consumption. Large numbers of is livestock are also feared to be
depleting the fragile ecosystem in the region. Ways will be devised to ensure pastoralists maintain
optimal numbers of livestock.
High Poverty Levels
Meaures will be put in place for the department of water to employ the less fortunate members of the
society when undertaking labour– intensive activities such as desilting of dams. The Department of
Environment will also employ women and youths when undertaking its tree planting programmes.
6.5 Health Sector
This sector comprises of: Medical Services, Public Health and Sanitation, Research and Development.
6.5.1 Sector Vision and Mission
Vision
An efficient and high quality health care system that is accessible, equitable and affordable for every
Kenyan.
Mission
To promote and participate in the provision of integrated and high quality promotive, preventive,
curative and rehabilitative health care services to all Kenyans
6.5.2 County Response to Sector Vision and Mission
To fulfil the vision and mission, the sector at the county level has adhered to the government health
policy by providing subsidized services, which are affordable to the community. The county government
will work with the Ministry of Health and other stakeholders to roll out the Community Health Strategy in
the county and also ensure that community health workers are adequately remunerated. Community
Health High Impact interventions will be scaled up to enhance access to helath services by
communities. Additionally, the county government will support the youth and girls from the county to
enrol in public health training institutions.
117
There exists a waiver/exemption system for those who cannot afford minimum user fees and therefore
ensuring access to health services by all. The sector will continue to educate the public on disease
prevention measures and health promotion. It will also continue to provide curative services and
conduct immunization for preventable diseases.
The capacity of referral sytems in the county will be enhanced and the county government will
undertake construction, rehabilitation and upgrading of health infrastructure and equipment including
level 4 facilities. The County will also establish fully fledged low cost diagnostic centers to provide
screening and treatment facilities for persons with chronic or terminal conditions, including cancer,
diabetes and kidney failure.
In line with the Draft Kenya Health Policy (2012-2030) the County Government will set up a professional
and technical county health management team to coordinate the delivery of county level health
services. The team will also liase closely and work under the direction of the County Executive
Committee to facilitate provision of health care services at the county level.

6.5.5 Strategies to Mainstream Cross-cutting Issues
HIV/AIDS
The County will target the youth in its HIV/AIDS prevention programmes as they are most vulnerable.
Health practitioners will also be target pregnant mothers when attending antenatal clinics.
Gender inequality
The County will develop strategies that will promote involvement of vulnerable groups such as the
disabled, youth and women in socio-economic development. The enrolment of girl child in schools will
be encouraged through sensitization on the importance of educating girls.
Climate Change
Community health workers will be encouraged to sensitize communities of climate change during their
normal operations. Health hazards such as kalaazar occur from flash floods that hit the region. Others
include cholera from polluted water due to floods. In the event of a flood, communities will be
encouraged to protect themselves by using boiled water. Communities residing at lower grounds will
be encouraged to shift to higher grounds.
Climate change is expected to lead to a scarcity of potable water. The coping mechanism will entail
rain water harvesting, construction or rehabilitation of reservoirs/dams, integrated water resource
management, ground water recharging and waste water treatment systems. Local level preventive and
coping mechanisms will directly address vulnerability management and infrastructure. As a result of
lack of potable water, communities might end up consuming unclean water leading to proliferation of
disease. As such the Ministry of Health will be tasked with capacity building activities to educate the
public on how to cope and adapt to emerging hazards.
Floods will lead to spread of water -borne and vector-borne diseases. This will be worsened by lack of
sanitation services. Adaptation strategies will include: production of bio pesticides, Malaria education
campaigns, creation of database of diseases and vectors, emergency plans and health care
professional training.
6.6 Education Sector
125
This sector comprises of Education, Higher Education, Science and Technology. There literacy rates in
the county are very low with less 15 percent of the population able to read and write.
6.6.1 Sector Vision and Mission
Vision
A globally competitive education, training, research and innovation for sustainable development.
Mission
“To provide, promote and coordinate quality education and training, integration of science, technology
and innovation in sustainable socio-economic development process”.
6.6.2 County Response to Sector Vision and Mission
The Education Sector will play a crucial role in education and moral upbringing of the youths. The
education sector ensures well educated workforce to work in the other sectors. This in turn translates
to good performance of the sectors managed by learned individuals. The education sector will focus on
access, quality, retention and monitoring of county education services. In collaboration with the national
government a County Technology and Innovations Advisory and Prospecting Center will also be
established to coordinate innovations and technology transfer and adoption at the County level. The
Center will also spearhead and transfer county specific technologies. Additionally it will document,
profile, and secure indigenous knowledge, technologies, and associated biological resources; scienticfic
testing and validation.

7.3 Technical Coordination of programmes and Projects
145
The overall technical coordination of development projects and programmes implemented in the County
will be the responsibility of the County Development Unit (CDPU). To achieve proper project
implementation, the CDPU will prepare quarterly implementation reports on programmes and
projects. The formulation of the work plan will not only take into consideration problems encountered in
the course of project implementation in the preceeding quarter but also will emphasise on the linkages
with appropriate bodies at the Counties and wards, i.e County Executive Committees and County
Development Committees and Ward levels in addressing project implementation problems.
Projects and programmes will be funded by County governments, Ministries’ allocation to government
departments, NGOs and Faith Based Organizations (FBOs), and Grants and Loans from development
partners. PPP arrangements will also be an important source of funding programmes and projects.
Accessing funds for projects and programmes financing is not confined to a particular type of fund
source but may require a combination of different sources.
The County will adopt various strategies towards mobilization of financial and other resources. These
strategies will include the following:
Conduct of Conferences - The County will arrange for a conference inviting International Investors,
NGOs, International Organizations operating in the County, the business community, relevant
government agencies among other stakeholders to provide an excellent opportunity for the various
stakeholders to identify various projects for implementation and soliciting additional financing.
Submissions of Project Proposals to possible financiers - Projects/Programmes that cannot be
funded through normal government budgetary allocations will be submitted to potential donors for
consideration of funding or where possible funded through PPPs. This will be done by the County
Exececutive Committee or by the County Development Committees(CDCs) on behalf of the
communities.
7.4 Monitoring and Evaluation System
Monitoring and Evaluation is important in tracking implementation of programmes and projects in the
County Integrated Development Plan. Monitoring and evaluation will involve all partners and
stakeholders to make sure there is transparency and accountability in implementation of
projects/programmes in the County. Structures for effective M&E will be established or strengthened to
carry out monitoring at different levels of implementation. An IT-based M&E system at the county will
be put in place and linked to NIMES.
Community level Monitoring and Evaluation: The community will be involved in day to day
monitoring of the projects in their village. The County will use organised structures like village
development committees, project management committees, welfare groups, organised groups and
community based organizations. Members of these structures will be trained to effectively monitor and
evaluation of projects and programmes in their areas.
Constituency level Monitoring and Evaluation: Implementation of projects at all levels will be a
combined effort of all development partners and stakeholders at the Constituency level. The Plan will
benefit from the devolved funds and other funds mobilised to implement the projects and programmes.
The implementation of projects and programmes at the constituency level will be monitored and
evaluated by integrated team of stakeholders to ensure that corrective measures and lessons learnt are
incorporated for successful implementation and value addition by the citizens of the Constituency and
146
the County at large. The stakeholder committees will be trained periodically to ensure that they have
capacity to undertake this task.
County level Monitoring and Evaluation: The County Executive Committee will spearhead the
monitoring and evaluation of the projects proposed in the County Integrated Development Plan through
field visits and collection of information from lower level structures and different implementers. The
County through the County Monitoring and Evaluation Committee (CMEC) will prepare quarterly and
annual reports that will be used to gauge the plan implementation. The reports will form the basis of
implementation status and highlight areas of strengthening and capacity building to achieve the
County vision.
Regional Level monitoring: The Regional level Monitoring and Evaluation Committee provide advice
to a conglomeration of Counties on the implementation of projects in the Counties. The committee will
be expected to visit a designated number of Counties periodically to assess and confirm the reports
emanating from the CMEC.
National level monitoring: The Ministry of Devolution and Planning provides guidelines on monitoring
and evaluation in the country outlined in the M&E Policy and the proposed M&E Act. It also provide
guidelines on the indicators to be used in the monitoring of various projects. The County M&E reports
together with other reports will serve as inputs in the preparartion of Annual Progress Reports (APRs)
which highlight progress in implementation of the Second Medium Term Plan
(2013-17) including programmes and projects across the country.
