Acronyms and Abbreviations


Constituencies of Kenya:
Are used to select members of the Kenyan parliament.
In accordance with article 89 of the 2010 Constitution of
Kenya, there are 290 constituencies, based on a formula
where Constituencies are delineated based on population
numbers.

Cross-Sectoral Integrated Flagship:
For the purpose of this work, an integrated flagship
describes an implementation effort requiring joint
implementation of three or more government sectors
along with diverse stakeholders and partners and intended
to positively impact a large part of the population and
natural resources in a transformative, adaptive and
realistic way.

County:
Not to be confused with the defunct county councils
of Kenya, the counties of Kenya are geographical units
envisioned by the 2010 Constitution of Kenya as the units
of devolved government.[1] The powers are provided in
Articles 191 and 192, and in the Fourth Schedule of the
Constitution of Kenya and the County Governments Act of
2012. The counties are also single member constituencies
for the election of members of parliament to the Senate
of Kenya[2] and special women members of parliament
to the National Assembly of Kenya[3] As of the 2013
general elections, there are 47 counties whose size and
boundaries are based on the 47 legally recognized Districts
of Kenya. Following the re-organization of Kenya’s National
administration, Counties were integrated into a new
national administration with the National Government
posting County Commissioners to represent it at the
counties.

County Government:
Means the county government provided for under Article
176 of the Constitution.

Disaster Management/Disaster Risk Reduction:
Disaster risk reduction is the concept and practice of
reducing disaster risks through systematic efforts to
analyse and reduce the causal factors of disasters.
Reducing exposure to hazards, lessening vulnerability
of people and property, wise management of land and
the environment, and improving preparedness and early
warning for adverse events are all examples of disaster risk
reduction.

Evidence:
Defined in conjunction with the SHARED process includes
the integration of raw data constituting numbers, words,
images or insights emerging from diverse knowledge
systems. These can then be analysed into relevant
visualizations and synthesized information.

Governor:
The County Governor is elected in accordance with Article
180 of the Constitution. The County Governor is directly
elected by the voters registered in the county at a General
Election for a term of 5 years and, if re-elected, can serve
for another final term of 5 years.

Institutional Framework:
The systems of formal laws, regulations, and procedures,
and informal conventions, customs, and norms, that
shapes socioeconomic activity and behaviour.

Integrated development plan:
An Integrated Development Plan is a super plan for an
area that gives an overall framework for development. It
aims to co-ordinate the work of local and other spheres
of government in a coherent plan to improve the quality
of life for all the people living in an area. It should take
into account the existing conditions and problems and
resources available for development. The plan should
look at economic and social development for the area as
a whole. It must set a framework for how land should be
used, what infrastructure and services are needed and how
the environment should be protected.

Glossary of Commonly Used Terms

Poverty:
Is the state of one who lacks a certain amount of material
possessions or money. Absolute poverty or destitution
refers to the deprivation of basic human needs, which
commonly includes food, water, sanitation, clothing,
shelter, health care and education. Relative poverty is
defined contextually as economic inequality in the location
or society in which people live.

Programme development:
Is an ongoing systematic process that extension
professionals follow as they plan, implement and evaluate
their educational programmes. The process is not confined
to a four-year planning cycle. It can be applied on a
small scale to an individual workshop; on a larger scale
to a comprehensive community initiative or to a county
or state-wide programme of action. The scope may be
different but the principles of programme development
remain the same.

Project management:
Is the discipline of planning, organizing, motivating, and
controlling resources to achieve specific goals. A project
is a temporary endeavour with a defined beginning and
end (usually time-constrained, and often constrained by
funding or deliverables), undertaken to meet unique goals
and objectives, typically to bring about beneficial change
or added value. The temporary nature of projects stands
in contrast with business as usual (or operations), which
are repetitive, permanent, or semi-permanent functional
activities to produce products or services. In practice, the
management of these two systems is often quite different,
and as such requires the development of distinct technical
skills and management strategies.

Socio-Economic development:
The process of social and economic development in
a society measured with indicators, such as GDP, life
expectancy, literacy and levels of employment. Changes in
less-tangible factors are also considered, such as personal
dignity, freedom of association, personal safety and
freedom from fear of physical harm, and the extent of
participation in civil society.

Stakeholder Approach to Risk Informed and Evidence
Based Decision Making (SHARED):

A tailored methodology that builds interaction between
people and accessible evidence for decisions that yield
sustainable impact at scale. The methodology enhances
cross-sectoral and multi-stakeholder approaches to
decision making.

Stakeholders:
An organization, member or system that affects or can be
affected by an organization’s actions. Stakeholders those
who have a stake in the outcome of an action and can
include, for example, community members, women, youth,
CBOs, NGOs, government actors, donors, among others.

Youth:
The youth are defined as persons resident in Kenya in the
age bracket 15 to 35 years. This takes into account the
physical, psychological, cultural, social, biological and
political definitions of the term.


The Turkana County Integrated Development Plan (CIDP II) for 2018-2022 serves as a comprehensive
guide to support the operationalisation of the Turkana County Vision. Turkana County aspires to
ensure that our citizens are socially empowered with equality for all women and men and with
opportunities for food, nutritional and water security, good health and well-being, education,
economic prosperity, living in a peaceful, socially just and culturally-sensitive environment and
underpinned by a resilient natural resource base and leadership and an inclusive governance of
utmost integrity.

A cross-sectoral and multi-stakeholder structured facilitation process was used to capture
achievements during 2013-2017, recognize challenges and identify ongoing and new priorities
ensuring the participation and input from wards, sub-counties, the public, cross-sectoral dialogue
and non-state actors in accordance with the Constitutional requirement.

The CIDP II is based on a strategic restructure of departmental sectors that include: Agriculture,
Pastoral Economy and Fisheries; Education, Sports and Social Protection; Finance and Economic
Planning; Health and Sanitation; Infrastructure, Transport and Public Works; Lands, Energy, Housing
and Urban Areas Development; Office of the Governor; Tourism, Culture and Natural Resources;
Trade, Gender and Youth Affairs; Public Service and Disaster Management; and Water, Environment
and Mineral Resources.

The established priority development initiatives outlined in the CIDP II have emerged from broad
consultation and have been intentionally linked in order to contribute to national (Vision 2030,
MTP 3 and the Big Four Priorities and Actions, and the EDE CPF 2022), continental (African Agenda
2063) and international goals (SDGs). The proposed priorities are articulated through sectoral plans,
public participation outputs, sectoral flagships, and cross-sectoral transformational flagships further
underpinned by my 2nd Manifesto.

Turkana County recognizes that in order to facilitate social, environmental, economic and equitable
transformation of the women and men of Turkana, we must employ a systems perspective
recognizing the interconnected nature of these different dimensions, ensuring that each are
progressing in support of the other. As part of this, the county will be enhancing the capacity to
understand systems, bolster cross-sectoral coordination and stakeholder collaboration, and interpret
and use evidence to support planning, budgeting, monitoring and evaluation and decision making to
increase our sustainable development returns on investments.

During 2018-2022, Turkana County will increase our focus on research and information for
development, encouraging all of our technical departments and partners to provide all data into a
centrally managed data platform that allows visually accessible information for robust planning.

These approaches will also serve our Resource Mobilization Framework, ensuring that the
government and development partners are communicating and working in a coordinated and
coherent way, taking into account evidence and managing adaptively to collectively take impact to
scale for the women, men and youth of Turkana.

The next five years will see a transformation in how Turkana does business. We are dedicated to
strengthening our capacities both substantively and in our governance, enhancing the resilience of
our natural resource base and socio-economic and cultural dimensions. We are increasing synergies
and reach by working together across sectors, with communities, with research and academia, with
the national government and with development partners and private investors. Join us in continuing
to build Turkana County together – Pamoja Tujijenge.

His Excellency, Hon. Josphat Koli Nanok
Governor, Turkana County

foreword

As we embark on the second regime of
devolution, the Turkana County Integrated
Development Plan (2018 – 2022) offers the
county an inspiring strategy for growth and
social-economic transformation over the next
five years. It is a typical blueprint deriving
from the self-determination of the people
as envisaged in the constitution of Kenya;
the hallmark of which is devolution. Indeed,
the CIDP is a product of and for the effective
exercise of devolution.

A proper exercise of mandate in governance is
centred on being responsive to people’s needs.
To this end and for the most progressive part,
the plan builds on the experiences of the
first five years of devolution and anchors the
county to the future.

As the county transforms, the County
Assembly looks forward to playing a critical
role in facilitating and monitoring the
development process. The CIDP acts as a policy
guide in legislative matters and it practically
informs the Assembly vision of becoming a
leading legislature of excellence in upholding

democratic principles, separation of powers
and social justice.

As a county legislature, we will continue
to enact quality legislation and policies to
facilitate the realization of the strategies and
programmes contained in the plan. We also
seek to effectively carry out our other roles of
representation, oversight, as well as approval
of county budgets, plans and programmes.

For these roles coupled with the
responsibilities of governance exercised by the
County Government as a whole, it is important
that we collectively look to the future and offer
the best practical strategies for development
programmes that will benefit both the present
and subsequent generations.

I would like to extend my sincere thanks to all
those involved in this planning process. Let
us work together to realize the aspirations
and desires of our people that are so
well envisaged in this County Integrated
Development Plan.

The Turkana County Government wishes to
acknowledge all of the partners (UN, Civil
Society, and Private Sector), donors, and
citizens who have worked with us to achieve
the many accomplishments during the first
CIDP (2013-2017). We are grateful to those
who specifically assisted in the development
of the second CIDP (2018-2022), ensuring that
it was evidence based and that the process
was inclusive. For this we thank USAID AHADI
who, with the County Government and the
World Agroforestry Centre (ICRAF), resourced
the participatory review of the first CIDP
using ICRAF’s SHARED process. We thank the
Government of Norway, UNDP and UNHCR

who assisted in the processes associated with
the finalization of the CIDP II. The Turkana
County Government wishes specifically to
thank ICRAF and the Department for their
intellectual and material support in the
finalization of the CIDP. We are grateful to
the National Government, the Council of
Governors, UNHCR, UNOPS, UNWOMEN,
UNICEF, WFP, FAO, the World Bank, JICA, GIZ,
USAID, NDMA, ACDI-VOCA Livestock Marketing
System, Trocaire, Save the Children, Diocese of
Lodwar, and other NGOs and CBOs, the general
public and the Turkana County Government
Departments and the County Assembly for
their substantive inputs to the 5-year plan.

Gender mainstreaming

The County Government has a number of opportunities to
promote gender equality and main-streaming through the
following mechanisms:

Develop capabilities and systems for mandatory
gender-disaggregated reporting, monitoring and
evaluation.

Implement gender-responsive budgeting and
establish focal persons in each department.

Audit all new legislation for gender sensitivity
before presentation to the executive.

Enhance strong oversight capacity and support
to ensure gender equity across government.

Enable public participation to be inclusive
of women and youth as well as people with
disabilities.

Monitor allocation of funds to beneficiaries to
avoid duplicative efforts. The Biashara Fund and
Women Enterprise Fund run separately but with
a deliberate percentage targeted to women and
youth-owned groups and businesses.

Agriculture, environment, energy & natural resources

| Ecosystem function and services |

| Climate & climate change |

1. Increased temperatures impact water
availability and plant growth.

2. Turkana County is subject to the impacts
of climate change, contributed to by land
degradation, livestock keeping, deforestation,
and burning of fossil fuels

3. Drought now occurs every 1 to 3 years.
Climate change has also been associated with
disasters such as floods capable of causing
loss of life and property, drought and famine,
loss of livestock, and increased vector borne
diseases.

Environmental degradation stems from a loss of soil and biodiversity, and a lack of water capture of unsustainable
land management practices.

Overgrazing leaving vegetation without enough time to regenerate; poor farming practices; infestation of
invasive species; deforestation; unsustainable irrigation resulting in soil salinization; and abandonment or lack of
reclamation associated with mining.

Land degradation in Turkana County, estimated at 50% of the County, threatens food and grazing land production,
water, energy security, climate change mitigation and adaptation, and livelihood resilience.

Large areas of bare soil and vegetative cover.

| Environmental degradation |

A functioning ecosystem supports key goods and
services which underpin healthy lives, livelihoods and
landscapes. Ecosystem function is based upon land
health, effective water cycles, the flow of nutrients and
minerals, and biological diversity.

Areas that are likely to be impacted negatively by intensive human activities are
classified as environmental hotspots. These areas include the natural resources around
refugee camps and settlements in Turkana West, which are characterized by large-scale
consumption of biomass for fire wood leading to loss of vegetation, increased soil
erosion, sand storms and general degradation of the environmentalquality due to waste
accumulation. Another hotspot is the oil fields in Turkana South and East due to
chemical pollution of soil, water and air, hazardous to both humans and livestock.

settlements and conversion to agricultural production.

Environmental hotspots

Two main perennial rivers are the Kerio and Turkwel.

Main water sources in the County are boreholes,
piped water and river water. Other sources include
springs, rock catchments and wells. Lotikipi aquifer is
too salty for human consumption.

Planning to invest in large pans of between 50,000
m3 to 100,000 m3 capacity, and large dams targeting
the pastoral community.

Turkana’s water and sanitation facilities require
refurbishment.

Diminishing water resources require that women and
girls walk further to access water resources, negatively
affecting the time spent by girls.

Over-exploitation of forest resources for charcoal
production and construction material are major
contributors to environmental degradation.

and sorghum subsistence farms measuring on average 0.2ha.

In 2017, the County Agriculture Directorate reported a total of almost 7,245ha under food crops, with 5,788
ha during the long rains and 1,457ha under crops during the short rain. This produces almost 4,000 metric
tons of food, with an estimated value of just under KSH400 million.

Additional 870ha are under irrigated crop production, thereby supporting the livelihoods of
approximately 4,000 households. With improved flood control in the plains, there is potential
to increase the area under irrigation to 10,000ha, and 6,600ha along the Turkwel and Kerio
rivers respectively.

Schemes are not operating at optimum levels because of security, technical, infrastructural,
and financial resource challenges.

Given that the dominant livelihood option in the Turkana is livestock
production, the efforts to lift people out of poverty should focus on
investing in the protection and management of the most valued asset of
the people, the livestock.

HOW?

Since land is communally held,
there are no livestock ranches

There are pasture enclosures and designated wet and dry season grazing areas. The pasture enclosures
are situated in Natira, Lomunyenakirionok, Kalobeyei, Nawontos, Nakabosan, Kaemuse, Kalemng’orok,
Kotela, Ng’imuria and Lokipoto. The County has one holding ground at Lomidat Abattoir in Turkana
West Sub-county. Napeililim holding ground in Loima Sub-county is under construction.

Need for rangeland mapping to enable the county to establish the potential of these resources
in meeting pastoralists’ grazing needs and to develop strategies to fill any identified gaps.

Livestock

Drought incidences
occur in Turkana County
on a regular basis

This is due to the increasingly erratic climate conditions and
ineffective water cycling. These drought episodes cause
significant stress on the county, with loss of human life and
increased rates of malnutrition due to inadequate food
supplies and access to clean water, as well as loss of livestock.
The National Drought Management Agency (NDMA) collects
monthly early warning bulletins , which the county uses for
planning and monitoring droughts.

Challenges
that face the
livestock

low investment in livestock development

shortage of skilled personnel to
provide quality extension services

cultural perspectives that limit the number
of livestock that are released to the market

inadequate enabling infrastructure

violent inter-ethnic conflict

frequent droughts caused by climate chang,
eleading to massive losses of livestock herds

County Livestock Policy

Develop livestock marketing infrastructure to
support economic growth and enhance livestock
value chains

Provide better livestock extensions services.
Introduction of mobile extension services.

Protect pastoralist lands by working with commu-
nities to identify key pastoral areas and corridors
then legally protect them.

Develop enabling infrastructure to support
livestock development.

Empower women and youth economically by
enabling them actively to participate in
livestock-related businesses.Work with the private sector to strengthen

provision of veterinary services through regular

Lake Turkana - Key facts

• Fishing is the main economic
activity of the zone, despite the
populations’ pastoral background

• There are 60 described fish species
with commercial potential.
However, five contribute over 80%
of the county’s annual catch:
- Tilapia
- Nile Perch (Iji)
- Carp
- Cowfish (golo)
- Silverside (juse)

• The number of fisher people in
Turkana is currently estimated at
7,000 and fish traders 6,500. The
potential catch is up to 30,000
tonnes per year

• In recent years’ the annual fish
production is 5,000-6,000 metric
tonnes. Low catch rates have been
attributed to both natural and non-
natural phenomena such as strong
winds, poor fishing methods, lack
of suitable fishing vessels and
gear, unreliable data collection
and poorly developed beach
infrastructure.

• Turkana’s predominantly artisanal
fishery deploys about 3,000 fishing
craft ranging from traditional doum

palm logs and dugout canoes to
modern fiberglass vessels. Gill
netting is the most used fishing
methods.

• Beach and purse seining are
prohibited, but still used. The
industry supports many more
individuals ranging from boat
builders, net makers, processors,
transporters, graders and
packagers

• Access to a raft increases a
household’s income from the
sale of fish two-fold, and access
to a boat (by ownership or
membership) can double such
profits once more

• Women are less engaged in fishing
activities than men; they collect
and sell firewood and charcoal and
make baskets and mats from doum
palm leaves, which they sell inside
and outside the zone

• There are eight gazetted fish
landing beaches on the Western
side of Lake Turkana. More than 35
other landing sites are not officially
gazetted.

• Lake Turkana National Park is a
UNESCO World Heritage Site.

• Lake Turkana is the county’s main
tourist attraction, famous for its
flamingos and migratory birds.

• Two large islands serve as national
reserves

• Koobi Fora deposits, located on
the north-eastern shores of the
lake and popularly known as
the Cradle of Mankind, are rich
in fossils and various remains
that contribute to a deeper

understanding of the local
environment

• In 1984, Kamoya Kimeu
discovered the 51 million-year-old
skeleton of a boy, now popularly
known as Turkana Boy (Turkana
County Investment Plan,
2016-2020).

• A number of beaches are found
along Lake Turkana and there are
several hot springs, including Eliye
Springs.

• On the Kenyan side, a wind power
project that will provide 300
megawatts of power to Kenya’s
national electricity grid is in the
planning stage

• Wind resources in Turkana County
could be harnessed with good
returns on investment from
renewable generation

• Threatened by the construction of
the Gilgel Gibe III dam in Ethiopia
due to damming of the Omo river

• Omo River supplies most of the
lake’s water.

• Conflicts emerge over the impact
of the dam.

• Lake Turkana has suffered adverse
effects in decreasing water levels
and decreased number of fish in
the lake

• Other aquatic animals in the
ecoregion include hippopotamus,
crocodiles, and an endemic
freshwater turtle, the recently
discovered and imperiled Turkana
mud turtle. The Lake is home
to the largest Nile crocodile
population.

• The grassland is home to a
number of mammals including

annual wind speeds, at 100 m height, of
7.11 meters per second (m/s) and a
maximum potential area of 61,353 km2.

Wind resource in Turkana County could be
harnessed with good returns on investment.

The County is endowed with
untapped mineral resources. There is
small-scale extraction of minerals
like gold, clay, limestone, gypsum
and garnets.

Quarry and sand harvesting are done
in various parts of the county.

Oil was discovered in the Lokichar basin of
Turkana in 2012.

Since 2015, Tullow has drilled more than
40 wells in Turkana County and made oil
discoveries.

Tullow expects to begin production by
2021 via a 750 km pipeline from Turkana
to Lamu County.

Oil production companies, however, need
labour skilled in drilling and seismic work,
which is difficult to source locally.

To promote equitable distribution of resource
revenues, a re-invigoration of the rangeland
management system will be critical.

wood fuels

mineral resources

Of the wood harvested in Turkana, 30% is
converted into charcoal and 70% is used directly
as firewood.

Charcoal is mainly used in urban areas and
refugee camps and firewood in rural households.

There has been a shift in the main source of
income in Turkana County, from the sale of
livestock and associated by-products (22%) to
the sale of charcoal (38%) and wood products
(18%). The poorer community members of
Turkana derive as much as 72% of their income
from the sale of firewood and charcoal.

The main markets for firewood in Turkana
County are the refugee camps, with demand
estimated at 240 metric tonnes per year.

Human Development indicators for Turkana compared to the national score in 2012

There is a need for a coherent and comprehensive overall framework for
guiding gender mainstreaming within different sectors and departments.

Poverty and changing livelihoods
Crop production (particularly using irrigation), charcoal production and
sale, manufacture and sale of handicrafts (especially baskets), petty trade
(especially of household goods and small livestock), honey production,
the sale of other nature-based products, and casual labour are the
primary alternative livelihoods to pastoralism.

Poorer households now tend very small herds, mainly with goats and sheep.

Many of these households are either ‘dropping out’ of pastoralism or
choosing alternative livelihoods options, which is driving a rapid
diversification in the economy of Turkana.

needs to travel to the nearest health facility dropped from
50 km in 2013 to 35 km in 2017.

County’s medical staffing levels remain well below WHO
guidelines.

Turkana County aims to increase the number of medical
staff by at least 21% by the year 2021, by identifying and
filling gaps in prioritized health facilities and by absorbing
health workers engaged through partnership projects.

Investments should be made to make community
health services financially sustainable.

Community health services

The county has a total of 2270 Community Health Volunteers (CHVs), who are registered in 158
community units. The CHVs provide linkages between health facilities and households and make up:
86% of the community health service; 42% of the integrated case management on malaria; 52% of
child, maternal and new-born health; and 14% of community-led total sanitation.

CHVs play a major role in antenatal care in villages.

Number of active volunteers is low (55%) due to poor motivation, which should be addressed through
progressive stipend.

Immunization coverage is now at 92.8%

The contraceptives acceptance has risen to 19.4% from 11% in 2013

Maternal mortality rate in Turkana still remains high and is reported at over 1,000 per
100,000 live births.

Resources are needed in the County under the campaign.

With increasing cases of reproductive health cancers, there is a need to intensify screening
for women of reproductive age. Every sub-county now has a cryotherapy machine and
health workers trained on cervical cancer screening.

Child poverty

Solid and liquid waste management
County Government only collects 0.2% of the community waste. In addition, 86.1% of
households use open defecation outside. This contributes to water, soil and air pollution
and poses a health threat to communities.

Water, sanitation and hygiene
Open defecation stands at 86.1% (SMART 2017), a drop from 96% (KNBS 2009)

Community Led Total Sanitation (CLTS) strategy focuses on the behavioural change needed to
ensure real and sustainable improvements through investing in community mobilization
instead of hardware, and shifting the focus from toilet construction for individual households
to the creation of villages free of open defecation.

Functional Children Charitable institutions (currently 10 in Turkana)
are operational and play a critical role providing child care facilities

85% or 452,099 children under the age of 18 years in Turkana are considered to be multi-dimensionally
poor - meaning that they are deprived of at least three out of six of basic needs and services.

This rate of deprivation is almost double the multidimensional child poverty rate in Kenya (45%). More
than 70% of children in the county do not have access to safe drinking water or adequate sanitation and
live in inadequate housing conditions. More than half (52%) of children under five are nutritionally
deprived, 65% are deprived in health, and 23% in physical development (e.g. stunted).

Child poverty in Turkana County is multidimensional, any policies or programmes designed to tackle it
must use an integrative approach and simultaneously involve multiple sectors. Water and sanitation are
the highest contributors to child poverty in Turkana for children of all ages, and these two sectors
should be prioritized. Health facilities and schools in Turkana County face major issues with access to
water and adequate sanitation; therefore, their planning and budgeting should be accorded higher
policy priority.

Skilled birth attendance necessary for children’s survival and development is a major contributor to
deprivation among children under five years.

High deprivation rate in education (55%) and its long-term importance, efforts should be made to
improve accessibility, increase enrolment, and ensure attendance.

Community health volunteers, outreach facilities and health facilities have already proven very effective.

Inadequate housing conditions are the third biggest contributors to child poverty in Turkana. Since their
improvement depends on households’ ability to generate income, efforts need to be made to generate
employment opportunities, taking into consideration both the education and skills profile of adults in
the County, as well as skills-enhancement programmes that increase their chances of paid employment.


The number of ECDCs has gone up from 662 centres in 2013 to 738 in 2017, 15 of which are in the

Establishing a network of polytechnics with courses for both men and women that
provide a range of vocational opportunities will absorb the youth who drop out of
school and prepare them for productive employment.

Education, skills, literacy and infrastructure

Proposed Lamu Port-South Sudan-Ethiopia Transport (LAPSSET) is expected to pass
through the County. The project envisages a 1,720 km standard gauge rail
connection between the Kenyan coast and Juba in South Sudan, passing through
Lodwar in Turkana County.

Turkana County has a total road network of approximately 9,000 km. Of these,
504.5 km are bitumen and the rest are dirt or gravel roads.

Only one commercial airport in Lokichoggio and 22 airstrips across Turkana
County. The Lodwar airstrip is tarmacked but the rest are levelled ground. Five
commercial airlines operate daily flights to Lodwar.

Conflict management

Research

Turkana County has a total of 391 police officers and 23 police stations/posts spread across
all sub-counties, giving a ratio of 1:2,871 using 2017 population data. The entire county has
9 police cells.

Turkana County has one magistrate court and one high court located in Kakuma and Lodwar.

There are four public prosecution offices, in Lodwar, Lokitaung, Kakuma and Lokichar.

Conflict is largely driven by the impacts of land management, drought incidence, increasing competition
for limited grazing lands and diminishing water resources.

Conflict resolution has been on-going in the county with the governor actively engaged in promoting
peace through community dialogues, cross border consultations and monitoring areas of conflict in
pastoral areas.

An integrated approach to conflict is taken by the County, in terms of addressing natural resource
degradation, soil and water management, grazing lands management and food security planning.

Competition for the depleting resources in northern Turkana has heightened the likelihood of conflict and
insecurity.

The conflict over water points in Kainuk, Kapelibok, Lorogon and Kaptir in Turkana East and Turkana North
(Lakeside) could be linked to the spread of the aridity and movement of the nomadic populations into
farmlands and fishing.

Working in partnership with the World Agroforestry Centre (ICRAF), the County Government
is moving to a more robust evidence-based decision-making approach using the Stakeholder
Approach to Risk Informed and Evidence Based Decision Making (SHARED) methodology.

The County will be investing in greater data collection, data management and data
interpretation and will require all actors who are collecting information in Turkana County to
provide the data in a usable soft copy format to be stored in a central location, that is easily
accessible for use in practice, budgetary and policy decision making

Vision 2030 Projects

Turkana specific projects as outlined in the Governor’s Tool Kit for Vision 2030 (2013)


In 2015, during the timeframe of the first Turkana CIDP, the member states of the
United Nations adopted a set of 17 goals to end poverty, protect the planet and
ensure prosperity for all as part of the new sustainable development agenda. For
each of the goals there are specific targets that are to be achieved by 2030.

Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) Indicative Affected Population and Causes

Poverty in Turkana County affects some 79.4% of the population,
the causes of which are economic, environmental, social and
political. Turkana has also the highest Adjusted Multidimensional
Poverty Index M0[1] in Kenya, estimated at 0.63 (UNICEF 2018).

Examples of issues: Sanitation, housing, and water are the largest
contributors to child poverty for all children younger than 18 years
(UNICEF 2018). Others include livelihood dependence on livestock
often characterized by poor grazing and land management
practices, which in turn exacerbates the effect of drought,
threatening livestock health and economic benefit. Cattle rustling
rapidly reduces livelihoods and responses to loss of animals from
this, and drought tends to drive increases in child marriages
to recover animals through bride price, further exacerbating
dropout rates for girls in school. Other issues include low literacy
and numeracy, poor access to education, poor infrastructure,
low purchasing power and, in some cases, poor leadership and
governance. An example of this is the Discriminative National
Government Policy e.g. sessional paper of 1965.

At the time of writing, on-going drought resulted in 244,500 people
being in need of immediate food assistance. In Turkana County, food
insecurity is most prevalent in pastoral areas. For example, in February
2018, 37% of the population had poor food consumption scores and
51% had borderline food consumption scores. In agropastoral areas,
both poor and borderline food security were found to be less than 10%
(NDMA 2018). More than half of children under five are deprived of
necessary nutrition, 65% are deprived in terms of health, and 23% are
stunted. One in 10 women in Turkana County are acutely malnourished
(9.4%) and these women have poorer birth outcomes and are more
likely to deliver undernourished babies. Some 16.2%, or 1 in every seven
children in Turkana are wasted (UNICEF 2018).

Hunger and malnutrition result from a mix of economic, social,
ecological and political reasons and are directly related to other SDGs
including No Poverty, Quality Education, Gender Equality, Decent Work
and Economic Growth, Life on Land, among others.

Issues that exacerbate hunger, nutrition and food security in Turkana
County include: cultural practices and beliefs, lack of diversified
livelihoods, poor accessibility to productive inputs, degraded lands, lack
of water capture and increasingly variable rainfall resulting in persistent
droughts, poor marketing options for livestock and products, limited
road networks and transportation options, high illiteracy rates, livestock
diseases and lack of livestock insurance.

Nested priorities, goals and aspirations showing the link between
county priorities and national, continental and global levels


In Turkana, illiteracy affects 80% of the population. Key issues include
inadequate education facilities, low teacher to pupil ratios, low
enrolments, as well as low retention and transition rates. Education is
viewed as a critical factor in ensuring the capacity to address multiple
sustainable development goals, however, there are numerous
issues that hinder education including cultural practices (that limit
girls’ education or encourage early child marriages), poverty levels,
conflict and insecurity, and malnutrition leading to poor cognitive
performance, among others. Evidence shows that the education of girl
children is in the top ten practices to address climate change.

Turkana County has a high gender inequality index of 0.65, higher
than the national government average. Women carry out the majority
of the labour in Turkana County with work including farming, family
care, cooking, firewood collection, water collection, etc. As is the case,
across Kenya, many women and girls in Turkana face discrimination as
a result of cultural practices and unequal rights to economic resources.
There is low access to education, especially for teenage girls. Issues
of violence are prevalent and forced marriages affect school age girls.
Girls are often held back from their education. While women are taking
on roles in county level decision making, there is a need to ensure
women and girls are empowered to have effective representation and
participation in social, political and economic spheres, adding their
voice to governance issues.

Harmful cultural practices are an obstacle to their maximum
participation in this; forced child marriages and gender based violence
are key examples.

Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) Indicative Affected Population and Causes

In Turkana County, Maternal mortality is over 1,000 per 100,000 and 23%
of children suffer from stunted growth. Immunization level below the
national level of 80% (WHO levels) and the distribution of health facilities
does not meet WHO standards (required at 5 km apart). One in 10 women
in Turkana County are acutely malnourished (9.4%), and these women
have poorer birth outcomes and are more likely to deliver undernourished
babies (UNICEF 2018)

There are numerous causes for difficulties in achieving good health
and well-being. These include issues related to low health professional
staffing, distance to hospitals and inadequate access to health facilities,
low immunization rates, high rates of home deliveries, inadequate
referral systems, high rates of tropical water and insect borne diseases,
communicable diseases, and lack of clean water and adequate sanitation.
Loss of productivity of pastoral landscapes due to land degradation among
other causes leads to inadequate incomes and loss of productive assets
and low dietary diversity in vulnerable households. High illiteracy rates are
also a contributing factor.

74% of children under 18 in Turkana do not have access to safe drinking water.
This deprivation rate is 11 times higher than the least deprived Nairobi County
(7%). Open defecation is at 84%. More than 70% of children in the county do not
have access to safe drinking water, adequate sanitation, and live in inadequate
housing conditions.

Lack of access to water and sanitation is directly related to other SDGs including
No Poverty, Zero Hunger, Quality Education, Gender Equality, Life on Land, Life
Below Water, among others. In Turkana, there is a lack of sufficient sources of
water to sustain the population and it is estimated that the entire county has
inadequate supply of clean water. This stems from multiple issues. For example,
water sources include those from rivers, boreholes and other water points and
piped sources, which can readily be contaminated by waste (e.g. contamination
by humans and livestock, open defecation leading to water borne diseases).
There are few community public health officers to educate people in the
villages regularly about the importance of proper sanitation. Water points such
as boreholes are dependent upon water recharge and captured water, which
requires integrated water resources management that is built upon sustainable
land management to capitalize on infiltration. While technologies can be put
in place to better harness water sources, it is important that sustainable land
management is viewed as a key investment.

There are vast sources of saline water in Lake Turkana and in the aquifers,
however the research and technologies for advancing these to be useful sources
of fresh water has not been completed.

Turkana has an important non-renewable energy source in its oil wells and has
areas suitable for renewable sources of energy such as wind power and solar
energy. However, these sources are not ubiquitous in the county and readily
accessible for industrialization. A large portion of the county is dependent on
charcoal and firewood, which often are not produced sustainably causing loss
of trees, increasing bare ground and susceptibility to invasive species. Firewood
and charcoal burning is ineffective because of open burning rather than using
sustainable kilns. Charcoal is used as an important source of income as well
as heating and cooking and thus, ensuring its sustainability will advance the
reduction of hunger, malnutrition and poverty.

Factors that affect decent work in Turkana County include high levels of
illiteracy and a lack of institutions to offer skills that are required, both of
which require school fees and consistent attendance that in many cases
is unaffordable. Work is found in informal work settings where abuses of
pay, inequality for men and women, and exploitation of youth workers are
rife. There is a challenge for affordable and sustainable access to capital
and credit. Turkana people are known for their entrepreneurial skills.

Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) Indicative Affected Population and Causes


Key issues around sustainable cities and communities relate to other
SDGs including No Poverty, Zero Hunger, Gender Equality, Clean Water
and Sanitation, Affordable and Clean Energy, Industry, Innovation and
Infrastructure, Climate Action, and Life on Land. Turkana is home to
two important refugee settlements: Kakuma with a population of
147,240 and Kalobeyei with a population of 38,278 as of December
2017. These settlements represent people from approximately 22
countries in Africa. There is a strong push to promote integration into
host communities to benefit both.

Turkana suffers from droughts and floods, which result in economic
losses, loss of life and social disruption. While climate change has
exacerbated the effects of droughts and floods, key causes arise from
a lack of resilience of the landscape. This stems from unsustainable
land and water management practices that leave the land and water
resources unable to recover. Degraded and reduced natural resources
often exacerbate conflict. Disaster risk affects the majority of the
population of Turkana County.

Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) Indicative Affected Population and Causes

In Turkana industrialization is limited by poor road networks and
dilapidation of roads, lack of reliable energy, limited knowledge and
skills for industrialized jobs (most are imported), and lack of an overall
industrialization plan. Further, 60% of the county is under weak or
limited telecommunications, leaving much of the population without
mobile networks.

A key aspect of sustainable management and effective use of natural
resources is to reduce waste generation, manage waste to avoid
contamination, and enhance recycling and reuse of waste. Household
waste, single use plastics in the environment and the potential for oil
waste contamination are of critical concern in achieving SDG 12.

Climate Action is directly related to other SDGs including Life on Land, Decent
Work and Economic Growth, Zero Hunger, No Poverty, Good Health and Well
Being, Gender Equality, Reduced Inequities, Clean Water and Sanitation,
among others.

Turkana suffers from droughts and floods that result in economic losses, loss of
life and social disruption. While climate change has exacerbated the effects of
droughts and floods, key causes arise from a lack of resilience of the landscape.
This stems from unsustainable land and water management practices that
leave the land and water resources unable to recover. Degraded and reduced
natural resources often exacerbate conflict. Women in Turkana County suffer
disproportionately from the impacts of climate change.

Turkana hosts the largest permanent desert lake and the largest alkaline
lake in the world. It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The lake supports
small artisanal fisheries, wildlife and tourism. Due to strong desert winds,
wind energy holds enormous potential. The Gibe III dam under construction
by Ethiopia, however, will affect a minimum of 200,000 pastoralists, flood
dependent agriculturalists and fishers - leading to cross border conflict with
all of its ramifications for lives, livelihoods and land and water management.

Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) Indicative Affected Population and Causes

Land, water and biodiversity and the ecosystem services that they provide
affect all of Turkana. The SDG on Life on Land is deeply connected, if not
underpinning, the SDGs on No Poverty, Zero Hunger, Good Health and Well
Being, Quality Education, Gender Equality, Sustainable Consumption and
Production, Climate Action, Decent Work and Economic Growth, Sustainable
Cities and Communities, Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions, among others.
Land degradation (loss of biodiversity and unsustainable land management)
affects 50% of the county. The resulting limitations of water for humans
and livestock are critical factors in Turkana County. Unsustainable land
management practices include severe grazing that causes bare ground, making
the land ineffective in capturing water from rainfall, reducing vegetative cover,
reducing the land health and productivity, and reducing its resilience capacity
for regeneration and restoration. Turkana County has an opportunity to
further contribute to the Kenya national goal within the Bonn Challenge to
ensure land degradation neutrality by 5 million ha by 2030.


Turkana County Investment Plan

Lays out the 10 reasons that Turkana is prime
for investment opportunities including:

location

leadership

livestock & fisheries

labour
green energy
land
mining

infrastructure

tourism & peace

Security

recommended areas for investment
which focus on livestock, agriculture, renewable energy, tourism and mining
and identifies the wards for investment to ensure equitable distribution of
investment opportunities

A key factor in addressing peace, justice and strong institutions is
reducing conflict as a result of degraded natural resources (overgrazed
pastures, invasive species, limited water recharge and availability)
and cultural practices (livestock rustling).

While the Turkana County Government is advancing its engagement
with civil society, the private sector, UN agencies and other stakeholders,
as well as bolstering cross-sectoral government approaches, it has an
enormous opportunity to work closely with donors and project partners
to coherently fund efforts that have a promise of return on investment
in terms of sustainability. Another area that can support strong and
accountable institutions is the use of evidence-based decision making
based on all actors working in the county to provide their data into a
central location in the Planning ministry.

Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) Indicative Affected Population and Causes

The County Government of Turkana is committed to
continued work toward the national and regional goal of
Ending Drought Emergencies by 2022, through robust
programmes and projects that help build social and
ecological resilience, increase social stability, and build a
foundation for economic growth by expanding economic
opportunities in the county; also through conflict reduction,
natural resource management and strengthening of livestock
management and the integration of these and other sectors.

The National Water Master Plan 2030 was launched in 2014 and is the result of an intensive study of
Kenya’s water resources and meteorological conditions to facilitate planning for development and
management of the same. The objectives of the study were to: a) assess and evaluate availability,
reliability, quality, and vulnerability of country’s water resources up to around 2050 taking into
consideration climate change; b) renew the National Water Master Plan towards the year 2030 taking
into consideration climate change; c) formulate an action plan for activities of WRMA up to 2022 to
strengthen their capability; and d) strengthen the capacity of water resources management through
transfer of technology (National Water Master Plan, accessed March 2018). In line with the National
Water Master Plan of 2030, Turkana County has developed the County Water Sector Strategy 2018-2028.

Cross Cutting Efforts Involving Neighbouring
Counties and Countries

In the IGAD region, cyclical drought has increased the movement of pastoralists and livestock from South
Sudan and Turkana County to the Karamoja region of Uganda in search of pasture and water. Conflicts have
resulted along with increased livestock theft, murders and rape. Information and institutional capacity for
grazing land management structures or organizations are an important element for enhancing the natural
resource management base, healthy grasslands, effective watering points and managing grazing reserves
Establishment of conflict prevention and management resolution platforms will facilitate further
communication to resolve any ongoing or arising issue

In 2018, Turkana became part of the Frontier Counties Development Council (FCDC), which is an agency that
aims to coordinate and integrate development efforts to bring about accelerated socio-economic
development of the Frontier Counties including Garissa, Isiolo, Lamu, Mandera, Marsabit, Tana River and
Wajir.

Northern Rift Economic Block (NOREB)

Frontier Counties Development Council (FCDC)

IGAD Centre for Pastoral Areas and Livestock Development (IGAD CPALD)

LAPSSET provides large scale infrastructure development that is funded either publically or jointly between
public and private sector and enhances trade across Kenya and with neighbouring countries. Key growth areas
for Turkana County include tourism centres, fishing industry, livestock industry, boat making industry, free
trade zone (Lokichokio) and the Inland Container Depot (Lokchokio). Investments that are either ongoing or
planned include: a) Lokichar to Nkodok Roads (connecting oil fields in Turkana with South Sudan); b) crude oil
pipeline from Lokichar to Lamu, with head pump station and tank farm at Lokichar; c) a resort city at Lake
Turkana; and d) the Turkana International Airport.

The Kenya Livestock Insurance Program (KLIP), supported by the Kenyan Government, the World Bank, the
International Livestock Research Institute (ILRI) and Swiss Re has been successfully piloted in Turkana and
Wajir counties. The scheme, launched in 2015, applies satellite-based index insurance to protect pastoralists
in remote areas. Five thousand households across the two counties are currently protected.

Kenya Livestock Insurance Program

This is comprised of eight counties in the Northern Part of the Rift Valley. NOREB creates opportunities for the
counties to partner up, contributes to trade and investment integration and provides the foundation for mega
projects in the region. The Governor of Turkana County with other governors from West Pokot, Elgeyo
Marakwet and Baringo are committed to addressing insecurity and managing the natural resource base in
parts of the counties as a means to progress the people living in the region as well as attracting more
investors.


Turkana County has been engaged in a process of adapting their planning, budgeting and decision-
making processes to be more inclusive, cross-sectoral and evidence-based. Multi-stakeholder
collaboration consists of a mix of representatives or stakeholders from public, civil and private domains
of society. Evidence-based decision-making employs the best available scientific and experiential
evidence in making decisions about a programme, practice or policy. Cross-sectoral coordination refers
to the involvement, promotion and management including planning and implementation of activities to
deliver development outcomes (e.g. food security, nutrition, sustainable agriculture) conducted across
two or more different thematic sectors (e.g. forestry, agriculture, and health). Multi-stakeholder and
cross-sectoral approaches are important for building synergies in problem solving and increasing the
potential for greater return on investments in sustainable development. To enhance multi-stakeholder,
cross- sectoral and enhance evidence-based decision making, the county has chosen to have the World
Agroforestry Centre (ICRAF) facilitate using their Stakeholder Approach to Risk Informed and Evidence
Based Decision Making (SHARED) methodology.

Multi-Stakeholder, Cross-Sectoral
and Evidence-Based Decision Making

COUNTY DEVELOPMENT PRIORITIES AND STRATEGIES

method entails
people-centred processes for co-learning and co-negotiation amongst key
stakeholders to achieve mutually agreed upon development outcomes within the
given context;

gathering and analysis of evidence in an accessible form to support decision makers;

sequenced interactions with key actors to use evidence in prioritizing interventions
and investments and

the creation of monitoring and adaptive learning plan to adopt priorities and
respond to new evidence

The SHARED methodology is a tailored process that builds interaction
between people and accessible evidence for decisions that yield
sustainable impact at scale.

As part of the SHARED facilitation process, sectors underwent a causal
mapping exercise. The Root Cause Analysis focused at sector level and looked
to address the root cause of the issues sectors were addressing through
CIDP activities. Root cause analysis is an important mechanism for ensuring
that implementation strategies, practices and policies address the root
cause of the problems and issues versus the symptoms of problems.

A number of root causes emerged for the county to prioritize for both
sectoral and cross-sectoral priorities.

Use of Root Cause Analysis

these include:
low capacities or weak institutions, cultural norms, inequality in terms
of gender and vulnerable groups.

low education of youth, land degradation and lack of implementation of
sustainable land management practices related to forestry, agriculture,
pastoral economies, and uncontrolled development.

In line with the Public Participation Guidelines, the Constitution assigns the responsibility to ensure,
facilitate and build capacity of public participation in the governance of the county, through Function 14
(Schedule 4 Part 2). In addition, Section 46(2) (g) of the County Government Act states that the County
Executive Committee should bear in mind the need for an all participatory decision-making. County
governments are therefore required to create mechanisms of engagement to enable and coordinate the
participation of communities and locations in governance.

In addition, Section 46(2) (g) of the County Government Act provides that the County Executive committee
should bear in mind the need for an all participatory decision-making. Under this direction, the
Department of Planning co-ordinated an inclusive public participation plan that brought together the
expertise of key NGOs, FBOs, and the Diocese in Turkana to assist in planning and ensure robust public
input into the CIDP process.

/ devolution
and public
engagement

The Office of the Governor provides overall leadership in the county. The Office coordinates the functions of the County
Departments and leadership in county development. Each of the Departments and Directorates are responsible for
implementing the programmes and projects within their sector in the CIDP, contributing to cross-sectoral integrated
flagships as well as monitoring implementation and outcomes. The Economic Planning Department under the
Department of Finance and Economic Planning is responsible for developing the CIDP and should monitor outcome
level indicators to ensure CIDP implementation and support the Office of the Governor in coordination of activities,
particularly for cross-sectoral collaboration.

The county’s organogram is outlined below and demonstrates the organization structure of the County Government as
outlined in Executive Order 01/2017. The County Assembly will ensure sound legislation to support CIDP implementation
and have a role in oversight. Development partners, the private sector and civil society will implement the CIDP in
collaboration with the County Government. The county links to the National Government through the Council of
Governors and the Partnerships and Intergovernmental Relations Directorate under the Office of the Governor and
through individual Departments. Civil society, Research and Development partners also link to the county through the
Office of the Governor and through individual Departments. Public engagement, through devolved structures will be
managed by the Department of Public Service, Administration and Disaster Management.

22 Cross-Sectoral Research
and Development, Data
Management, and Evidence
for Decision Making

Objective: To establish inclusive
and evidence based decision
making in Turkana County,
based upon collecting, storing,
analysing, managing and
interpreting data The county
has prepared the CIDP from an
Evidence-Based Approach. To
sustain the required decision
making all sectors will have
to conduct thorough research
in order to come up with the
right interventions to inform
cabinet policies. This has been
made mandatory in all sectors
e.g., salinity distribution, water
depths, cost of production of
food in schemes, History and
Culture, ARIC, trade volumes,
oil, economy, market research,
palaeontology etc. This will also
strengthen resource mobiliza-
tion

Current decisions are not based
on any research. Research is
key in determining programmes
that have direct positive impact
on the lives of people and that
whether such programmes are
sustainable in the long run.
Turkana County bas initiated
the use of the Stakeholder
Approach to Risk Informed and
Evidence Based Decision Mak-
ing (SHARED) and the Resilience
Diagnostic and Decision Sup-
port Tool. To ensure evidence
based decision making, Turkana
County Planning Department
must ensure that all data that
is available or being collected
for Turkana County in a central
place, organized, and accessible
for decision making within and
across sectors.

Proposed budget for each sector as derived from the sector programmes are shown the Table below. Sectoral integrated flagships
have been combined and the budget highlighted in the table. The cross-sectoral integrated flagships are not included in the table
and would add an additional KSh2,300 M over five years. In the case of the cross-sectoral integrated flagships, it is intended to
have a coordination unit to ensure shared responsibilities and resources to maximize the impacts.

MONITORING & EVALUATION

FRAMEWORKsect
io

n
4

Tracking progress towards the achievement of the county’s policies, projects and programmes outlined in
each County Integrated Development Plan (CIDP) will be undertaken through the County Integrated
Monitoring and Evaluation System (CIMES). Analysis of CIMES results will demonstrate whether the
resources spent on implementing CIDP investment programmes are leading to the intended outcomes,
impacts and benefits for the county population (GoK 2016).

The County M&E system will have the following three main functions;

To support policy-making, especially budget
decision- making (performance-based budgeting)
and county planning.

To enhance county departments and partners’
capacities to manage activities at departmental,
programme, and project levels. This includes
government service delivery and the management
of staff.

The county is in the process of finalising its M&E
policy and developing its M&E framework to
detail the institutional arrangements and respon-
sibilities in co-ordinating M&E functions. The
county intends to establish an M&E unit under the
Department of Finance and Economic Planning.
Section 105(1)

of the County Government Act, 2012 states that: “A
county planning unit shall be responsible for ensuring
the collection, collation, storage and updating of data
and information suitable for the planning process”.
In this regard, the designated co-coordinating unit
should be under the Department of Economic
Planning, in collaboration with line departments and
other key stakeholders in the county.

To enhance transparency and support accountability
relationships by revealing the extent to which the
county has attained its desired objectives and
provides the evidence necessary to underpin strong
accountability relationships between county actors.

A County M&E committee will also be established and be will be responsible for oversight of the
policy implementation. The committee will oversee M&E of the county government departments,
national government ministries and development partners operating within the county.

Resource Requirements by Sector


Turkana County is one of the flagship county
governments to take leadership in establishing protocols
and systems for data management. Since 2015, the
Department of Finance and Economic Planning has been
spearheading a drive to establish an inventory of data
sources and develop a robust proposal for partner
engagement. This was done in order to determine the
requisite human resources for assembling and analysing
data and information and capacities for the purpose of
planning processes in the county.

Developing a data management system

Key steps in a county base data inventory

Dissemination and citizen engagement -
Development of Turkana County Dashboard

Since 2015, through a partnership with the ICRAF GeoScience Laboratory and using the ICRAF
SHARED facilitation framework, scientific evidence and the capacity and information needs of
Turkana County decision makers have been fundamental to the design of the diagnostic
decision support tool. The Turkana Dashboard is custom built by integrating multiple data
sources on Turkana and a number of analytical processes to make data that is at varied scales
meaningful through different visual forms. Thematic modules such as land health, security
and education have been built to allow for easy visualization of the data to assist with
decision making and resilience planning. The diagnostic dashboard allows for robust
management of data for Turkana County with all the data stored in a safe central server. The
powerful analytical ‘engine’ behind the dashboard allows the for the decision maker to select
the desired visualizations of the data and carry out various queries and subsequent capacity
to download the required information.
