Marsabit County Integrated Development Plan 2013-2017

Abstract

The County Integrated Development Plan (CIDP) outlines the process through which efforts at national and devolved levels of government and other relevant public institutions are coordinated at the local level to bring economic, social, environmental, legal and spatial aspects of development together, to meet the needs and targets set for the benefit of local communities. The CIDP has eight chapters, as outlined below. Chapter one gives the background information on the physical, socio-economic and infrastructure information that has a bearing on the development of the county government of Marsabit. The chapter describes the county in terms of the location, size, physiographic and natural conditions, demographic profiles as well as the administrative and political units. In addition, it provides information on infrastructure and access; land and land use; community organizations/non-state actors; crop, livestock and fish production; forestry, environment and climate change; mining; tourism; employment and other sources of income; water and sanitation; health access and nutrition; education and literacy; trade; energy; housing; transport and communication; community development and social welfare….
