Integrated Development Plan 2013-2017 Page 10 Foreword The Constitution of Kenya 2010 provides for two distinct and interdependent levels of government – the national and the county governments. The Constitution article 220(2) makes it mandatory for every County to prepare Development Plans. The County Governments Act, 2012 states that each county shall prepare a County Integrated Development Plan (CIDP) which shall be the basis for all budgeting and spending of public funds. In addition, every county government is expected to 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 integrated plan focuses on economic, physical, social, environmental and spatial planning. According to the Public Finance Management Act, 2012 the budget process for county governments in any financial year shall begin with an integrated development planning process which shall include both long term and medium term planning which will in turn inform the county budget estimates and establish financial and economic priorities for the county over the short, medium and long term. The purpose of the CIDPs is to provide comprehensive guidelines in budgeting, project funding, monitoring and evaluation of all the projects for the next five years. The first CIDP for Murang’a County is a historical milestone. Apart from providing comprehensive guidelines in project identification, implementation and evaluation, it also facilitates proper coordination with the national government and other stakeholders in order to improve the well-being of the county citizens. In addition, the integrated development planning framework formulated will enhance linkage between policy, planning and budgeting. The projects and programmes in this CIDP were identified through various consultative forums at the county level as provided for in the County Governments Act 2012. This was done through public participation forums which included electronic media sessions through local radio programmes, MTP II consultations as well as those on the county Medium Term Expenditure Framework. At the beginning of every financial year, annual work plans will be drawn to outline projects to be undertaken during that year. It is my expectation that increased participation by a wide cross section of the people during identification, planning, implementation and monitoring and evaluation of projects and programmes will empower the people of Murang’a to their realize social, political and economic development. H.E. Mwangi Wa Iria Governor, Murang’a County Murang’a County Integrated Development Plan 2013-2017 Page 11 Acknowledgement The realization of the first Murang’a County Integrated Development Plan was made possible by through the involvement and support of many individuals and organizations. We would like to appreciate the role played by these individuals and institutions. I would like to greatly appreciate our governor, H.E. Mwangi Wa Iria for his financial and moral support for the process. We are also grateful to the members of the County Executive Committee, Heads and staff of various county and national governments departments, community groups and the private sector for providing information and ideas on programmes and projects in various sectors. We also appreciate the Kenya School of Government consultants, Mr. Samuel Macharia and Mr. Alex Mirara for their technical advice and guidance on the process. Finally, we would also like to thank the Speaker of the County Assembly, the Clerk and entire Members of the County Assembly for actively participating in forums which enriched the document significantly. Without their support this document could not have been made a reality. God bless you all.

The process of identifying the projects and programmes to be undertaken over the next five years involved the entire county and its citizens in order to find the best solutions to achieve participative, equitable and sustainable long-term 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 the County. Through this process the efforts at national and devolved levels of government and other relevant public institutions are coordinated at local level with due consideration to the economic, social, environmental, legal and spatial aspects of development for the benefit of local communities. In addition, the plan aims to protect the right to self- fulfilment within the county communities and with responsibility to future generations. In developing the CIDP, references were made to the provisions of the County Government Act, 2012; Transition to Devolved Government Act (2012); Urban Areas and Cities Act, 2011; and the Public Finance Management Act (PFMA), 2012. The first chapter describes the general information about the county.

It is bordered to the North by Nyeri, to the South by Kiambu, to the West by Nyandarua and to the o East by Kirinyaga, Embu and Machakos counties. It lies between latitudes 0 34’ South and 0 o o 1 7’ South and Longitudes 36 East and 37 27’ East. The county occupies a total area of 2. 2,558.8Km Figure 1: Location of Murang'a County in Kenya Source: County Development Planning Office, Murang’a- 2013 Murang’a County Integrated Development Plan 2013-2017 Page 15 1.2. Physiographic and Natural Conditions 1.2.1 Physical and Topographic Features The county lies between 914m above sea level (ASL) in the East and 3,353m above sea level (ASL) along the slopes of the Aberdare Mountains in the West. The highest areas in the west have deeply dissected topography and are drained by several rivers. All the rivers flow from the Aberdare ranges to the West, South Eastward to join Tana River. The geology of the County consists of volcanic rocks of the Pleistocene age and basement system rock of Achaean type. Volcanic rocks occupy the western part of the county bordering the Aberdare’s while rocks of the basement system are in the eastern part. Porous beds and disconformities within the volcanic rock system form important aquifers, collecting and moving ground water, thus regulating water supply from wells and boreholes. The topography and geology of the county is both an asset and liability to the county’s development. The highest areas form the rain catchment areas from where most of rivers draining the county originate. The terrain is dissected creating the menace of landslides and gulley erosion. The numerous streams and valleys necessitate the construction of numerous bridges to connect one ridge to the other; construction and maintenance of roads are therefore made difficult and expensive. Soils emanating from the volcanic activity are generally fertile and important for agriculture. The slopes in the rich volcanic soils on the higher altitudes are particularly suitable for tea growing. 1.2.2. Ecological Conditions The county is divided into six agro ecological zones. The agro ecological zone one consists of the highest potential zones where forestry, tea and tourism industry form the most important economic activities. Agro-ecological zones two and three are the lowlands east of Aberdares and are generally suitable for both coffee and dairy farming. The flatter area of Makuyu division of Maragwa constituency is characterized by arid and semi-arid conditions. This forms the agro ecological zones 4, 5, and 6. In these zones coffee and pineapple plantations thrive by irrigation. 1.2.3. Climatic Conditions The County is divided into three climatic regions: The western region with an equatorial type of climate, the central region with a sub-tropical climate and the eastern part with semi-arid conditions. The long rains fall in the months of March, April and May. The highest amount of rainfall is recorded in the month of April, and reliability of rainfall during this month is very high. The short rains are received during the months of October and November. The western region, Kangema, Gatanga, and higher parts of Kigumo and Kandara, is generally wet and humid due to the influence of the Aberdares and Mt. Kenya. The eastern region, lower parts of Kigumo, Kandara, Kiharu and Maragwa constituencies receive less rain and crop production requires irrigation. 1.3 Administrative and Political Units 1.3.1 Administrative Subdivisions (Sub-county, Divisions and Locations) Murang’a County Integrated Development Plan 2013-2017 Page 16 Administratively, the county is divided into seven constituencies, namely, Kiharu with a total area of 409.8 square kilometres, Kangema with a total area of 173.6 square kilometres, Mathioya with a total area of 351.3 square kilometres, Gatanga with a total area of 599.0 square kilometres, Kigumo with a total area of 242.1 square kilometres, Kandara with a total area of 235.9 square kilometres and Maragwa with a total area of 466.7 square kilometre.

This population is projected to rise to 947,530 in 2012; 958,969 in 2015 and 966,672 persons in 2017. However it should be noted that this figures do not include the population by age cohorts for four locations (Kakuzi, Ithanga, Mitumbiri and Ngelelya) which are administratively in Kiambu County as per census report of 2009. The male: female sex ratio for the county is 48:52. The higher female population in relation to male is attributed to high male emigration to other counties and towns in search of employment and business opportunities. Table 4 below shows population projections by gender and age cohort for the county.

However in all other age cohorts, females are more than males. This trend can be attributed to emigration of male to neighbouring urban areas in search of economic opportunities.

Under 1 Year (infants): This age group had 43,966 persons in 2012 constituting a 4.6 per cent of the total population. It is estimated to rise to 44,855 persons in 2017. There are more male infants than female indicating a different pattern in the male: female ratio compared to the total population. This may also affect the focus areas in planning for resources to support this age group. These include provision of post natal care services including immunisation programmes and pre-school facilities and services. The Under Five Years: This age group which includes the pre-school going children was estimated to be 140,601 persons in 2012 and are projected to rise to 143,441 persons in 2017. It is important to note that the male population is also more than the female in this age group. This population will require more investment in pre-school education such as expansion of pre- school facilities and employment of ECD teachers. Also the health demand is expected to increase since the children under five years require more of health care services than the other groups. Age group 6-13 years (Primary): The primary school going age was 193,455 persons in 2012, constituting a 20.3 per cent of the total population. The figure was expected to rise to 197,363 persons in 2017. There are more girls than boys in this age group and therefore the demand for girls’ schools is likely to increase. Age Group 14-17 years (Secondary): The secondary school going age was 85,929 persons in 2012, a 10.1 per cent of the total population. They are estimated to be 87,665 persons in 2017. This increase of the secondary school going age population will necessitate investment in the existing and new secondary educational facilities and increasing the teaching staff. Age group 15-29 years (Youthful): The youthful population in the county was 240,184 persons in 2012, constituting a 24.9 per cent of the total population. This age group is estimated to have 245,036 persons in 2017. This implies that there is need to establish youth polytechnics to cater for the proportion that will not qualify for secondary and tertiary education. There will be also need to create employment and other income generating opportunities for this age group. Age group 15-49 years (Female reproductive age): This age group represents the productive/child bearing age group and is instrumental in determining the total fertility rate and the population growth rate of the county. In 2012, there were 230,775 persons in this age group, constituting a 24.2 per cent of the total population. It is estimated to have 235,437 persons in 2017. Measures should therefore be taken to provide adequate reproductive health services to meet the rising needs of the female reproductive age group. Age group 15-64 years (labour force): This population accounted for 527,679 persons in 2012, comprising 55.3 per cent of the total population. It is estimated to be 538,339 persons in 2017. The biggest challenge for this age group is to create adequate gainful employment opportunities to enable them contribute meaningfully to economic and social development. Further, it calls for diversification of the economy from agriculture to other sectors by setting up of cottage industries and encouraging growth of the Jua Kali Sector. More government resources are being channelled to this age group including Youth Enterprises Funds and Murang’a County Integrated Development Plan 2013-2017 Page 22 women enterprises funds to enable them to create more employment opportunities for the youth and women.

Kangema has the least population with 77,917 people. This could be attributed to the vastness of the constituencies, agricultural potentiality, nearness to basic social and administrative services and employment opportunities in various sectors. The small population size in Kangema constituency could be attributed to the small size of the constituency and emigration of people to other counties in search of employment opportunities. Murang’a County Integrated Development Plan 2013-2017 Page 25 1.5. Human Development Indicators Gender Development Index: The County gender development index stands at 0.5357 compared to the national indicator which is 0.4924. This is attributed to empowerment of the girl child and promotion of women rights in the county. Youth Development Index: The county youth development index is 0.6517 compared to the national indicator of 0.5817. This shows that the county is performing better in terms of youth development. This could be attributed to high literacy levels and proximity to urban and major towns where there are ample opportunities for the youth. Human Development Index: The county human development index is 0.624 and the national one is 0.561. This implies that the county is performing better in terms of human development. This is attributed to people’s positive attitude towards hard work and wealth creation. Life Expectancy: The life expectancy in Murang’a county stands at 63.4 years, where 67.2 years is for females and 59.65 years is for male. This implies that females live longer than males in the county. At the national level, the live expectancy stands at 56.6 years. This shows that the live expectancy in Murang’a County is higher than the national level. Literacy Rate: The national literacy rate stands at 71.4 per cent where as that of Murang’a County is 70.1per cent. This implies that the literacy rate at the county is lower than the national one. In the county, the literacy level for male is 73.9per cent while for the female is 66.7per cent. This shows that literacy rate for male is higher than female. School Enrolment Rate: At the national level, the net Primary school enrolment rate stands at 92.9 per cent whereas the county net Primary school enrolment rate stands at 93.85 per cent. This shows that the net Primary school enrolment at the county level is higher than at the national level. Again, at the county, net set secondary school enrolment rate is 67.2 per cent for both boys and girls. The county gross enrolment rate in primary schools stands at 97.75 per cent while the gross enrolment rate in secondary schools is 71.04 per cent. At the same time, the county transition rate from primary to secondary school is 70.6 per cent. Additionally the primary school completion rate in the county is 97.13 per cent. This implies that 26.53 points of the primary school pupils who complete primary education do not proceed to second school education. This could be attributed to inadequate day secondary schools to cater for those who qualify to join secondary schools but they cannot afford. Purchasing Power Parity (PPP): The national PPP stands at 1,436 USD compared to the 1,455.5USD at the county level. This implies that the county is better off compared to the national PPP. This means that an average household size of four is able to spend at least 121USD per month. This shows that on average an individual in the county spends 1 USD per day. While this means that people in the county are living along the poverty line, but in reality 36.3 per cent of the county population lives in absolute poverty. 1.6 Infrastructure and Access 1.6.1 Road, Rail Network, Airports and Airstrips Murang’a County Integrated Development Plan 2013-2017 Page 26 Physical infrastructure is a basic foundation for national transformation as articulated in the national economic blueprint – Kenya Vision 2030. In 2013, Murang’a County had 2,934.95 Km of road. Of these, 387.5 Km are bituminized, 1313.1 Km are gravelled and 1234.3 Km is earth surface. The county has 65Km of railway line which is underutilised. There is no established air strip in the county; however plans are underway to construct an airstrip at Kambirwa in Kiharu constituency. Figure 3: Rehabilitation of Mukuyu-Githambo-Kiruri Road Source: County Development Planning Office, Murang’a- 2013. 1.6.2 Posts and Telecommunications The county has 800 landline telephone connections provided by Telkom Kenya. It has high mobile network coverage of 97 per cent of the area with the service providers being Safaricom, Airtel Kenya, Orange, and Essar Yu. There are six post offices, three sub-post offices and four courier services operating in the county. 1.6.3 Financial Institutions There are seven commercial banks in the county (Barclays, Kenya Commercial Bank, Cooperative Bank, Equity Bank, Post Bank, Consolidated Bank and Family Bank), four Micro- finance institutions (SMEP DTM, Faulu Kenya, Kenya Women Finance Trust and ECLOF) and four insurance companies (Britam, Invesco, APA, Kenya Orient and other small agencies). These institutions play a key role in the economic development through provision of financial services to the farmers, business people and the public in general. Apart from providing credit facilities, the financial institutions also advise the local people on the best businesses to venture into in order to get maximum returns. The government uses the financial institutions to channel funds to the vulnerable members of the population such as the social protection fund. The Youth Enterprise Development Fund and Women Development Fund are also channelled to them through financial institutions. Murang’a County Integrated Development Plan 2013-2017 Page 27 Figure 4: Financial Institutions in the County Source: County Development Planning Office, Murang’a- 2013 1.6.4 Education Institutions The education sector promotes literacy and provides quality education for the residents of the county. On the other hand, adult education helps in the promotion of adult learning county- wide. The county has 989 pre-schools, 616 primary schools, 263 secondary schools, 48 youth polytechnics, one technical institute (Michuki Technical Institute), two colleges (Murang’a Teachers Training college and Kenya Medical Training College) and one University (Murang’a University College). The quality of education and the facilities provided will be improved to ensure that they produce the kind of human resource that will enable the county accomplish its development aspirations. Efforts will be made to create child friendly schools for quality education since this will guarantee access and improve on retention and completion. In total, 98.3per cent of the secondary schools are connected with electricity but connectivity for the primary schools is lower while 70per cent of the community lives between 1.1Km and 4.9 Km to the nearest primary school. There is need to standardize the sanitation facilities of the schools by providing flush toilets. There is also need to provide water to all schools which are not yet supplied with water since this county is well endowed with water resources. 1.6.5 Energy Access The energy subsector promotes environmental friendly, sustainable and renewable sources of energy. There are 33,861households out of 255,696 households with electricity connections. A negligible number, less than 1per cent of households use solar energy. Much needs to be done to expand rural electrification programme to increase the proportion of households with access to electricity. Other main sources of energy commonly used in the county are fire wood, paraffin, charcoal, LPG gas and solar. Emphasis needs to be put on reforestation to replace the trees that are felled in search of wood fuel which is the main cooking fuel in the county in addition to exploring other alternatives of fuel such as biogas. Murang’a County Integrated Development Plan 2013-2017 Page 28 Figure 5: Githambo Power Sub- Station Source: County Development Planning Office, Murang’a- 2013 1. 6.6 Markets and Urban Centres There are a total of 513 market centres in the county out of which three are classified as towns (Murang’a, Maragwa and Makuyu towns). The number of urban centres in the county are three (Kabati, Kangari and Kiriaini). There are 18,963 registered traders, both retail and wholesale. The wholesalers mostly deal with consumer and hardware products while retail traders, who are in both rural and urban areas, deal mainly with food products. The trade sub-sector assists in the strengthening of the county joint loans board, promotes training of traders as well as consumer protection through frequent impromptu inspection of traders. The industry subsector is involved with promotion of local investments, identification and development of new enterprises, as well as collection, analysis and dissemination of industrial information. Coffee and tea processing are the main industrial activities in the county while milk cooling plants are also coming. 1.6.7 Housing In Murang’a County, about 40 per cent of the households live in stone/brick walled houses, 24.3 per cent in mud/wood walled houses while 2.19per cent live in grass straw/tin walled houses. Most housing units in the county are roofed with corrugated iron sheets (94.38 per cent), while makuti and grass roof constitute 0.18per cent of the households. Most of these housing units have earth floor (60.04 per cent), followed by cement floor at 38.85per cent. The county has 1,924 Low Grade, 232 Middle Grade, and 184 High Grade government housing units which are not adequate for the government officers deployed in the county. 1.7 Land and Land Use 1.7.1 Mean Holding Size 2, 2 The county has a total area of 2,558.9Km of which 11.2Km is water mass. The arable land 2 2. is, 2,135 Km while non-arable land is 163.3 Km The gazetted forest covers an area of 254.4 2 2 Km is Gazetted forest land while approximately 20 Km is urban area. The average farm size under large scale holdings is 16 acres. Total acreage under food crop farming is 329,234 acres while that under cash crop farming is 177,636 acres. The land under soil conservation is Murang’a County Integrated Development Plan 2013-2017 Page 29 33,254 acres; under farm forestry is 270,879 while area under organic farming is 385,364.5 acres. The main land use activities in the county are: cash crop farming, subsistence farming, livestock keeping, fish farming, housing and forestry. 1.7.2 Per centage of Land with Title Deeds Murang’a County is predominantly agricultural and, therefore, land holding is considered important. It is estimated that 64.9per cent of farmers have title deeds while 35.1 per cent do not have title deeds. 1.7.3 Incidence of Landlessness Majority of the county population own land. Incidence of landlessness is approximately 0.2per cent. This is as a result of concerted efforts by the government to resettle the landless at Maranjau area in Kambiti Location of Maragwa constituency. 1.8 Community Organizations/Non-State Actors Majority of the county’s population is organized into community self-help groups, and both producer and marketing cooperative societies. There are a number of other non-state actors operating in the county including local and international Non-Governmental Organizations whose objective is to improve the socio-economic well-being of the local people. 1.8.1 Cooperative Societies The County has 155 registered co-operatives societies of which 120 are active and 35 are dormant. These have a total membership of 332,420 and annual turnover of over Kshs.599 million. 1.8.2. Non-Governmental Organizations There are 10 active NGOs’ operating in the county. Their activities are pegged on the improvement of social and economic wellbeing of the entire population of the county. The key NGOs operating in the county include: Vihda association, G.I.Z, Africa now and YARD, among others. 1.8.3. Self Help, Women & Youth Groups The county has 1,832 registered self-help groups of which 676 are youth groups and 1,156 are women groups. These groups operate with a view to pooling their resources to uplift the economic and social welfare of the members. 1.9 Crop, Livestock and Fish Production 1.9.1 Main Crops Produced The major cash crops in the County include tea, coffee, avocado, mangoes, macadamia and horticulture crops, among others. Horticultural crops include tomatoes, cabbages, kales, spinach and French beans while food crops include maize, beans, bananas, sweet potatoes and cassava. Murang’a County Integrated Development Plan 2013-2017 Page 30 1.9.2. Acreage under Food Crops and Cash Crops The acreage under food crops and cash crops are 329,234 and 177,636 respectively. The acreage under food crop is almost twice that of cash crop. Food crop farming is practiced in all parts of the county but cash crop farming is practiced in upper zones and in some lower zones of the county. Figure 6: Banana Growing in Maragwa Source: County Development Planning Office, Murang’a- 2013 1.9.3. Average Farm Sizes The average farm size for most of the county’s households is 1.4 acres. As a result of this, farmers are not able to produce large quantities of crops to warrant large storage facilities at household level. Nevertheless, the average large scale farm size is 16 acres which are commonly found in the lower parts of the county and in tea, coffee, pineapples, mango and flower estates. Figure 7: Fruits Growing in the County Source: County Development Planning Office, Murang’a- 2013 Mu rang’a County Integrated Development Plan 2013-2017 Page 31 1.9.4. Main Storage Facilities The storage facilities range from granaries to grain stores and milk coolers. Grain stores are found in NCPB outlets in Maragwa town. Milk coolers are found in milk collection centres in Kigumo, Kangema and Maragwa. Granaries are found at household level due to small quantities of produce. Tea leaves and coffee berries are stored in their respective factories. 1.9.5. Main Livestock Bred The main livestock bred in the county are cattle, pigs, goat, sheep, rabbits and chicken. Exotic cattle breeds are found in the upper parts of the county while indigenous cattle breeds are found in the lower parts of the county. Dairy and indigenous goats are spread all over the county but they thrive well in the lower parts. Pigs are of different varieties and reared all over the county due to readily available market offered by Farmers’ Choice. Rabbits and chicken are reared in response to demand for white meat. 1.9.6. Number of Ranches The County has one company ranch owned by Kakuzi Limited of approximately 213 Acres. This is a private company listed in the Nairobi Stock Exchange. 1.9.7. Main Fishing Activities There are no large water masses in the county and therefore fishing is practised in the farms. By 2013, there were 2,380 households practising fish farming with 2,520 fish ponds covering 2 an area of 714,000 m . The main fish species reared are Tilapia and Cat fish. 1.10 Forestry and Agro Forestry 1.10.1 Main Forest Types and Sizes 2 The county has five indigenous gazetted forests covering a total area of 254.4 Km . They are: Gatare, Karua, Kimakia, Kiambicho and Wanjerere forests. These forests are divided into two zones; the tropical montane forest zone located along the Aberdare ranges and the semi-arid forest zone located in the lower parts of the county. However, there are 204,557 farm forests which are privately owned plantations. 1.10.2 Main Forest Products The main forest product in the county include: timber (approximated at over 64 million running feet), firewood (over 500,000 stacks) and seedling production of over 63 million. Other minor forest products include grass, bamboo sticks, medicinal herbs, honey and charcoal. The forests are also the major sources of various rivers namely Maragwa, Mathioya North, Mathioya South, Kiama and Thika rivers. 1.10.3 Promotion of Agro forestry and Green Economy Agro forestry involves tree farming with crops and/or pasture. This entails the planting of trees that do not compete with crops. Green economy involves the production of energy from renewable sources such as bio fuel, solar, wind and biogas. The county has 270,879 acres under farm forestry in 204,557 farms. There are 282,774 people involved in farm forestry with an average of 40 trees per farm. Murang’a County Integrated Development Plan 2013-2017 Page 32 a) Income generating activities: Forestry related income generating activities in the county range from tree nursery management activities to sale of forest products. The main types of forest products in the county are timber estimated at 63,994,066 running feet, firewood estimated at 531,025 stacks and production of seedlings estimated at 63,500,000 annually. b) Protection of water catchment: Water catchment areas protection activities have been on-going especially in the Aberdares forest. The activities included rehabilitation of degraded sites and catchment areas, river banks stabilization and planting of water friendly trees. c) Prevention of soil erosion: Tree planting in farms has helped in preventing soil erosion. Trees hold the soils firmly on the ground and act as wind breakers and increase soil fertility through litter fall from leaves which later form humus. The soil conservation structures namely; Retention ditches, grass strips, trash lines and fanya juu are also practiced across the county. d) Provision of wood fuel and generation of energy for industries: Tree planting by farmers has been enhanced with the involvement of tea processing industries in establishing tree nurseries and supplying tree seedlings to farmers for planting. These industries buy mature trees from farmers who earn incomes while the industries get a source of wood fuel for their production. e) Improved soil fertility by growing fertiliser trees: The departments of Agriculture and forestry have enhanced soil fertility improvement in the county by encouraging farmers to plant nitrogen fixing species of trees such as Acacias, Albizzia spp, Lencena spp, Sesbania spp and Calliandra spp in order to improve soil fertility through fixing nitrogen in the soil. f) Growing of fruit trees for improved nutrition: Farmers have also been planting fruit trees like Avocadoes, Mangoes, Pawpaws, Macadamia and Oranges for commercial and for nutrition purposes. There are Mango and Avocado processing factories in the county. Tea, coffee and Macadamia nuts are also grown on commercial purpose. g) Provision of carbon sinks: The carbon trade is an agreement made between a buyer and a seller of carbon credits. Those who reduce emissions or sequester carbon receive payments and those who have to decrease emissions can buy carbon credits to offset their emissions. Carbon offsetting means to compensate emissions which cannot be avoided by paying someone else to save – sequester - GHGs. The prices which are received for one ton of CO2 vary a lot and depend on the type of market and the type of carbon offset project. The County has not benefitted from the carbon sink programmes or projects for carbon trading. Trees grown on gazetted and un-gazetted land take-up carbon dioxide and produce oxygen in the process of making wood, it is therefore expected that carbon trading projects will be initiated in the county so as to tap this untapped potential. h) Beautification activities: Beautification activities in towns, highways, schools and public places have been on-going across the county. Tree planting along highways/streets and in school compounds has been taken up as a programme by the Kenya Forest Service and various groups and individuals. Growing of trees around homesteads is an adopted practice in the county for beauty, shelter and fuel. Each calendar year, over 200,000 seedlings are planted along roads, urban centres and schools and public places i) Animal feeds production ventures: Planting of fodder crops across the slopes have also been encouraged as soil conservation method and helps retain soil fertility in Murang’a County Integrated Development Plan 2013-2017 Page 33 sloppy areas. Planting of fodder crops such as Napier grass, Leucaena spp and Cordia abyssinica spp have also boosted animal feed production by the department of livestock production. j) Growing and processing of tree and crops for medicinal purposes: Medicinal crops like Amaranth and trees like Prunus spp, Moringa oleifera spp and Warbugia spp have also been grown especially in areas of Kangema, Kiharu and Maragwa. Local herbalists purchase the raw plant parts for processing and sale within and outside the county. 1.11 Environment and Climate Change Climate change refers to the significant variation of expected average weather conditions of a given location as observed over a period of at least 30 years. The climate of an area is defined by the interactions of various factors including uneven distribution of solar heating, specific responses of the atmosphere, oceans and land surface. Therefore, climate is paramount in contributing to socio-economic development and determining the availability and distribution of resources like water, wildlife and forests. 1.11.1 Major Contributors to Environmental Degradation in the County The main environmental pollutants in the county are identified as agrochemicals from agricultural activities and factories, vehicle exhausts, quarrying activities and emissions of Green House Gases (GHGs) into the atmosphere through natural causes and human induced activities and solid wastes from markets and towns. The GHGs disrupt atmospheric balance and global warming therefore heating the earth surface. Solid wastes include: plastic, polythene papers, glass, human waste, animal waste, organic plant matter, synthetic material, rubber and medical waste. Dumping and management of solid waste to the environment remains a major challenge for the County. Human waste disposal is a challenge in the county as it is only Murang’a Town which is served by a sewerage treatment plant. Makuyu, Maragwa, Kangari and Kangema Towns as well as Kiria-ini, Kahatia, Kandara, Kenol and Kigumo Markets are in dire need of solid waste management facilities. 1.11.2 Effects of Environmental Degradation Environmental degradation is the reduction or loss of the biological, ecological and economic productivity of the environment or ecosystem. The effects of environmental degradation are being experienced at county level as a result of over exploitation of forests and unsustainable extraction of non-renewable resources. Indiscriminate felling of trees in gazetted and non- gazetted forests has led to destruction of water catchment areas and consequently reducing river recharge base. Murang’a County Integrated Development Plan 2013-2017 Page 34 Figure 8: Land Degradation in the County as a Result of Quarrying Source: County Development Planning Office, Murang’a- 2013 1.11.3 Climate Change and its Effects in the County Climate Change has caused negative socio-economic consequences across most sectors with the most vulnerable being environment, agriculture, livestock, forestry, water, health, energy, fisheries as well as physical and social infrastructure. Climate change is a reality in Murang’a County and has led to prolonged dry spells and drying of river beds in the lower parts of Kiharu and Maragwa constituencies. Some of the adverse effects of climate change experienced at Murang’a County include: Variation in weather patterns with reduced rainfall and failed crop seasons; Frequent and prolonged droughts and diminishing water resources: Floods/flash floods and landslides: Environmental degradation and habitat destruction; Water bodies have been rescinding due to reduced inflow following the massive destruction of catchment areas: Resurgence of weeds, diseases and pests that are destructive to both human and livestock wellbeing: Loss of biodiversity especially where the ecosystems is fragile. Climate Change has also affected species distribution as an adaptive response. The African elephant (Loxodonta africana) found at Aberdares is threatened due to destruction of its habitat and breeding grounds in the forest: Severe famine and hunger causing food insecurity especially in the ASALs regions like Kambiti, Maragwa Ridge. This is exacerbated by over dependence on rain-fed agriculture and rural poverty; Resource use conflicts. Wildlife has been forced to stray from protected areas to farms in search of water and forage thus enhancing human/wildlife conflicts. E.g. at Kaseve hills in Murang’a South there is conflict between the locals and monkeys. 1.11.4 Climate Change Mitigation Measures and Adaptation Strategies Murang’a County needs to make the necessary and deliberate adjustments to prepare mitigation measures to cope with effects of climate change. Most of the disasters in the county are experienced as a result of extreme weather events due to climate change. Adaptation comprises all actions aimed at enhancing the coping mechanisms to climate change which cannot be abated or mitigated thus reducing the magnitude of negative effects. These include prevention, tolerance, resilient, change of land use practices, relocation or initiating restoration of degraded environments. There are also damages to infrastructure such as roads, water supply pipes and housings roofing. Murang’a County Integrated Development Plan 2013-2017 Page 35 Mitigation measures aim at reducing negative impacts occasioned by loss of human life, death of animals, and destruction of infrastructure among others. This is attained through the application of modern and appropriate farming technologies, alternative approaches to mitigate effects, available opportunities and strategies to mitigate climate change. Coping mechanisms to climate change are sector specific allowing relevant and applicable interventions to be formulated and implemented. Forest cover ensures that carbon sink and sequestration while at same time firming up soil thus preventing soil erosion. Tree planting will be encouraged as a way of enhancing forest cover and reducing environmental degradation. The water ‘Supply-side’ adaptive techniques involve changing structures, operating rules and institutional arrangements. The water ‘Demand-side’ adaptive techniques involve water demand management e.g. efficient irrigation, water pricing, and emphasis on conservation, awareness raising campaigns, policies and regulations to encourage efficient use of water. The mitigation and adaptation measures for agriculture include: Diversification of crops to help cope with shifting rainfall patterns, using drought resistance/tolerant crops and promotion of good agricultural practices. Mitigation and adaptation measures in health sector include: Strengthening the public health institutions to cope with increased occurrence of climate change related diseases e.g. malaria, cholera among others; and Intensifying public health campaigns and public participation on climate change related diseases. The transport mitigation and adaptation measures include: Good maintenance of road network to ensure high efficiency of vehicles and less emissions of GHGs and Enforcement of air quality regulations and standards The county heavily relies on hydro generated energy which results in frequent power outages and blackouts during the dry spells. Mitigation and adaptation measures may include: diversification of to use of solar energy, wind energy, bio gas and promotion of wood energy efficiency and conservation through using improved stoves at household levels. 1.12 Mining 1.12.1 On-going Activities The county does not have mining activities except quarrying which is practised in some parts. Quarrying activities include: sand harvesting, excavation of building blocks and ballast and extraction of clay soil for brick making and pottery. It is estimated that 42,900 tonnes of sand are harvested annually. The harvested ballast is estimated at 22,016 tonnes and hard core at 189,770 tonnes annually with 6,971 people involved. 1.12.2 Mining Potential There are no known potential mineral deposits in Murang’a County. Researchers are however encouraged to continue exploration works in various parts of the county to ascertain if the county has any mineral potential. Murang’a County Integrated Development Plan 2013-2017 Page 36 1.13 Tourism 1.13.1 Main Tourist Attractions, National Parks/Reserves The main tourist attraction sites in the county are the Aberdares National Park and cultural heritage sites that have a rich history on the origins of the Agikuyu people. Such sites are at Mukurwe wa Nyagathanga and Karia Ka Mbari ya Ngware. Moreover, there are also ideal natural sites for hiking and camping at Rapid Camp, Aberdare cottages and sport and leisure fishing sites at Kimakia fishing grounds and Ndakaini Dam. Figure 9: A Tourist Attraction Site in the County Source: County Development Planning Office, Murang’a- 2013 1.13.2 Main Wildlife The main wildlife in the county are elephants which are the major source of human-wildlife conflicts especially in Mathioya and Kigumo constituencies. This is due to the constituencies’ proximity to the Aberdare forest which forms the wildlife habitat. Other wildlife in the county is Columbus monkeys and their related species. 1.13.3 Tourist Class Hotels/Restaurants, Bed Occupancy Due to the untapped tourism potential in the county, there are no tourist class hotels or restaurants. This is because the available tourism packages are often irregular and the tourists usually visit the county during the day and then go to reside in hotels outside the county. However, there are a number of other unclassified hotels and restaurants in the county (e.g. Hotel Nokras, Fortune Green and Golden Palm hotel). Murang’a County Integrated Development Plan 2013-2017 Page 37 Figure 10: Tourist Hotels in the County Source: County Development Planning Office, Murang’a- 2013 1.14 Industries Murang’a County does not have big manufacturing industries. However there are several agro- processing factories as shown in the table 9 below: Table 8: Industries/ Factories in Murang’a County by type and Sub County Sub- Counties Industry/ factory by Type Tea Coffee Milk Fruits Nuts Animal Cottages Feeds Kangema 1 15 2 0 0 0 Mathioya 2 16 Murang’a East 3 6 1 Murang’a 0 8 1 1 3 5 South Gatanga 2 21 0 2 1 0 1 Kandara 1 34 1 Kigumo 3 38 Kahuro 1 23 Total 13 161 3 3 3 3 6 Source: County Development Planning Office, Murang’a- 2013 Murang’a County Integrated Development Plan 2013-2017 Page 38 As per the table 9, most of the industries are agro based industries with coffee being the leading followed by tea factories. Most of the factories produce semi- finished products which are exported to other counties and internationally as raw materials and therefore do not fetch optimum prices. Therefore there is need for the factories to refine and package the end products so that there is optimum returns and creation of more employment opportunities in the county. Only a few factories like Del Monte and Farm Nut produce finished products and hence are the largest employers compared to the others. The county has potential for more industries like those mentioned above, especially mangoes, bananas and milk processing factories. The other potential areas are in pottery, where clay soil is exported to other counties instead of making finished product of clay for export. 1.15 Employment and Other Sources of Income The agricultural sector accounts for 57 per cent of the labour force in the county. The sector however faces numerous challenges from increasing population and sub-division of land to uneconomical sizes. The potential of this sector to absorb more labour force is expected to decline and it is therefore important that diversification of sources of income and value addition of agricultural produce through processing is promoted and encouraged. 1.15.1 Wage Earners Wage earners in the county are mainly employed on casual basis either temporarily or seasonally with no job guarantee or security. This group accounts for 18per cent (78,193 persons) of the total employment in the county. 1.15.2 Self Employed The self-employed are categorized as rural self-employed who account for 34,752 people and urban self-employed who account for 73,849 persons in the county. The self-employment opportunities are expanding with the expansion of towns and market centres in the county due to rural urban migration. 1.15.3 Labour Force The labour force accounts for 527,679 persons or 55.3 per cent of the total population of the county and is expected to increase to 538,339 persons by 2017. Those in employment account for 434,405 persons. The biggest challenge for this group is to create adequate and gainful employment opportunities. Processing of agricultural produce which accounts for a mere 3.6per cent of those in employment has great potential to form the core labour niche in the county. 1.15.4 Unemployment Levels The rate of unemployment in the county is approximately 17.67 per cent or 93,241 persons. The county should therefore strive to reduce the unemployment rate by adopting policies and programmes that are labour intensive. 1.16. Water and Sanitation 1.16.1 Water Resources and Quality Murang’a County Integrated Development Plan 2013-2017 Page 39 Murang’a County’s water resources are rivers, shallow wells, springs, dams, boreholes and roof catchment. There are 10 permanent rivers, 400 shallow wells, 75 springs, 30 dams and 100 bore holes that supply water for domestic and agricultural use in the county. All these sources supply 60 per cent of the county population with clean and safe drinking water. 1.16.2 Water Supply Schemes The county has 27 water supply schemes and about 16 irrigation schemes. Water supply schemes are managed by three different entities. There are some which are managed by the water companies, the department of water and some others are managed by the community members through water project committee. The irrigation schemes, which are managed by the community members, got funding from community own initiatives as well as government and development partners’ support. 1.16.3 Water Sources In the county, the mean distance to the nearest water point is three Km with about 29.4per cent of the households taking five to 14 minutes. Water supply schemes such as the Gatanga community water schemes supply water directly to households at reasonable cost. The county will expand the capacity of water schemes to ensure a minimum of 40per cent of the households are directly supplied with water. Figure 11: Maragwa River, a Major Source of Water in the County Source: County Development Planning Office, Murang’a- 2013 1.16.4 Sanitation In Murang’a County, about 99.78 per cent of the households use toilet facilities. Out of these, 4.97 per cent use flush toilets, 3.97 per cent use VIP latrines and the others use ordinary pit latrines. The majority of people living in the market and trading centres use ordinary pit latrines. 1.17. Health Access and Nutrition 1.17.1 Health Access The County has 272 health facilities serving a population of 959,701. It has three level five hospitals, three mission/private hospitals and three nursing homes. There are 21 health Murang’a County Integrated Development Plan 2013-2017 Page 40 centres (public and private), 114 dispensaries (89 public and 25 mission/NGO) and 137 private clinics. The County has 464 medical personnel working in government health facilities with 312 nurses, 23 doctors, 41 clinical officers, 50 public health officers and 38 laboratory technicians and technologists among others medical personnel and health facilities in the county are inadequate and there is need to improve the situation. Figure 12: Kambirwa Health Centre (ESP Project) Source: County Development Planning Office, Murang’a- 2013 1.17.2 Morbidity In the county, the most prevalent diseases are: malaria/fever (50.5 per cent), flu (20.64 per cent) diarrhoea (11.45 per cent), respiratory tract infections (10.86 per cent) and stomach-ache (6.54 per cent). Morbidity situation in the county may change soon due to increasing number of motor cycle accidents. The health personnel have been spearheading campaigns to reduce the prevalence of the diseases especially for children less than five years. 1.17.3 Nutritional Status In Murang’a County, five per cent of children under five years are stunted and wasted. But the medical personnel have been intensifying their effort to ensure that the figure comes down. 1.17.4 Immunization Coverage The immunization coverage in the county stands at 92 per cent. Efforts are being made to ensure that all children are immunized against preventive diseases. The medical personnel have now changed the strategy of waiting for children to be brought to health, by moving from house to house to ensure that no child is left out. 1.17.5 Access to Family Planning Services Murang’a County has high usage of family planning services especially in urban areas. It is approximated that 86 per cent of urban population has access to family planning services as compared to 33per cent of the rural population. The county should balance between population growth and economic activities since both have a bearing on the welfare of the residents. Murang’a County Integrated Development Plan 2013-2017 Page 41 1.18 Education and Literacy Education is the key to human growth and development through the core functions of teaching and learning done in the county institutions. This makes the society more enlightened and therefore contributes to the overall development of human resources in the county. This is one of the major sectors in the county since the growth and development experienced in other sectors relies on well educated people. Figure 13: An Adult Class in Progress in Murang’a Source: County Development Planning Office, Murang’a- 2013 1.18.1 Pre-school Education The county has 1080 ECD centres with total enrolment of 31,944 pupils and 1,127 teachers. The teacher/pupil ratio is 1:28. 1.18.2 Primary Education The county has 634 primary schools, 6,324 teachers, total enrolment of 214,986 and a transition rate of 70 per cent. The teacher/pupil ratio is 1:34. In this category there is a shortage of teachers which the county government will have to deal with in order to ensure that we attain the required ratio of 1:20. There is need to improve the transition rates in the county. 1.18.3 Literacy (Population Aged 15 Years and Above) The county’s literacy level stands at 70.1 per cent, where literacy level for male is 73.9 per cent and female is 66.7 per cent. This implies most of the county population can make informed decisions on matters affecting their socio-economic livelihoods. 1.18.4 Secondary Education The county has 292 secondary schools, 3,206 teachers and a total enrolment of 84,874 students. This represents a gross enrolment of 71.04 per cent. In this category, the government has tried to attain a teacher /student ratio of 1:26. There is need to put more effort in ensuring that gross enrolment is raised to 90 per cent. 1.18.5 Tertiary Education Murang’a County Integrated Development Plan 2013-2017 Page 42 The county has one science and technology institute (Michuki Technical Traning Institute), forty eight youth polytechnics, three accredited colleges and four non accredited colleges. All these are middle level institutions where the youth who don’t get opportunities to join the universities go and get skills suitable for the labour market. Murang’a County Integrated Development Plan 2013-2017 Page 43 CHAPTER TWO: Murang’a County Integrated Development Plan 2013-2017 Page 44 2 County Development Analysis 2.0 Introduction This chapter discusses at length the major development challenges facing the County. It further highlights cross cutting issues such as population growth, poverty, environment, HIV and AIDS, gender etc. A SWOT analysis of each cross cutting issues is also provided. Finally a detailed matrix giving an analysis of major development issues, their causes, objectives and the proposed strategies and targets are discussed. 2.2 Major Development Challenges This section addresses the major medium term and short-term development challenges that the county has to address in order to achieve sustainable economic growth and poverty reduction through more effective management of the development resources. The development challenges that were identified during the Medium Term Plan II consultative meetings include: Poor physical infrastructure, low productivity in agricultural and livestock, inadequate marketing and storage facilities among others. 2.2.1 Poor Physical Infrastructure Physical infrastructure is an enabler that facilitates the growth of other sectors. Provision and maintenance of existing physical infrastructure and providing a utility sector (water, sewerage and electricity) contribute to economic and social development of the county. This will assist in addressing the poor state of the county’s infrastructure that has been caused by mismanagement, heavy rains and poorly developed terrain and valleys. The current state of infrastructure in the county is a major constraint to improved agriculture production and marketing and has contributed greatly to rising levels of poverty. The county has poor and inadequate road network which is sometimes impassable. Delivery of horticultural crops, milk and tea leaves to markets and factories are affected during the rainy season by poor road network. The energy supply is also inadequate. There is therefore need for enhancing infrastructural development and accelerating the speed of completion of infrastructure programmes and projects so as to ensure that they play a catalytic role in county’s development. Once this is done, the county residents will greatly benefit in marketing of their produce and in starting agro-processing industries and other economic activities. The Constituency Roads committees, Kenya Power and Lighting Company and the local authorities will be expected to give priority to increasing the efficiency and quality of the existing infrastructural facilities through routine maintenance and expansion of the existing physical infrastructure. In the energy sub-sector, wood fuel accounts for approximately 80 per cent of the County energy source while rural electricity accounts for only 13 per cent. Priority in the sub sector will therefore be on shifting the pattern of consumption towards the renewable Murang’a County Integrated Development Plan 2013-2017 Page 45 sources of energy such as hydro, solar and wind in order to enhance environmental protection. Rural electrification requires to be intensified to increase access of electricity as an alternative source of energy in the county. 2.2.2. Poor Marketing Systems Poor agricultural marketing systems greatly contribute to the low incomes farmers receive for their produce in the county. Middlemen take advantage of the poor marketing channels to exploit farmers. Liberalization of the dairy sector in the 1990s resulted in many cooperative societies collapsing because the restructuring was done without due regard to capacity of the cooperative societies to compete in the open market. A number of cooperative societies have also undergone long periods of mismanagement. A number of farmers produce poultry and horticultural produce but lack proper and organized marketing. Deliberate efforts will be undertaken to organize farmers into effective marketing groups in order to minimize exploitation by middlemen and maximize on the gains from these ventures. 2.2.3. Low Productivity in Agriculture and Livestock Over 80 per cent of the households in the county depend on agriculture and related activities. The main challenges are that agricultural land is limited and the supply of farm inputs is irregular particularly for non-cash crop growers who are not members of cooperative societies. Prices of the inputs are high and the distribution not well coordinated. Shortages of inputs lead to low productivity in maize, beans, Irish potatoes and cabbages. These being the main staple food crops in the county the socio-economic welfare of the populace are affected since there is always a shortage of these commodities. Cattle fodder is in short supply due to inadequate rainfall and also because land is scarce. Manufactured feeds for cattle and poultry are too expensive for farmers and this affects the county economy. 2.2.4 Food Insecurity Murang’a County is food insecure in terms of staple food and sometimes relies on relief food supplies especially in areas at the lower side of the county like Makuyu, Kambiti, Maragwa ridge, Muthithi, Gaichanjiru, Kakuzi, Ithanga and Githuuri Locations. Food insecurity is attributed to several factors that include: inadequate and unreliable rainfall, poor terrain, small parcels of land, poor soil fertility, poor coverage by extension services, and concentration in growing of cash crops such as coffee, tea, high prices of farm inputs and poor storage facilities. To address the problem of food insecurity, efforts will be made to enhance extension support services, subsidize farm inputs and discourage further sub-division of land. Small horticulture irrigation projects will be initiated while extension services on food preservation, storage and marketing as well as animal production and health will be intensified. Community members will also be enlightened on the available wealth creation opportunities in the county. 2.2.5 Agriculture and Livestock Diseases and Pests Murang’a County has been regularly affected by livestock and crop disease outbreaks. Livestock diseases are aggravated by movement of livestock from Isiolo and Marsabit counties to Machakos County. Diseases such as foot and mouth and anthrax have affected and led to Murang’a County Integrated Development Plan 2013-2017 Page 46 deaths of livestock and people in the county. The veterinary sub sector has been carrying out vaccination campaigns and community sensitization to address the problem. The common crop diseases and pests include coffee berry diseases, bollworm, army worms and cassava mosaic. The agriculture and livestock development subsectors have been carrying out extension services to advice farmers on preventive mechanisms and best crop practices. There are also private agro vets that have been sensitizing farmers as well as dispensing agrochemicals to them. Since Murang’a is predominantly an agricultural county, more efforts need to be directed towards addressing these challenges. 2.2.6 Ineffective Coordination of Projects/ Programmes There is lack of integration in the implementation of most programmes and projects in the county. Currently most sector programmes are planned and implemented independently leading to uncoordinated project implementation and wastage of scarce resources. In addition, the devolved funds programmes fall under different acts of parliament - e.g. the CDF Act, the Local Government Act among others - making project implementation and coordination less efficient in achieving the stated objectives. There is need to ensure harmony in implementation of various projects and programmes. In the new constitutional dispensation, it is hoped that implementation of development programmes and projects at the county level will be streamlined. 2.3 Cross-cutting Issues The cross-cutting issues in the county include: disaster management, environment conservation and management, gender, the youth, persons with disabilities and Climate change. 2.3.1 Gender Gender disparities are minimal in primary and secondary education where enrolments are 50per cent for both boys and girls. Women have been discriminated against when it comes to access to ownership of property and finances. Gender concerns have implications on economic growth and poverty reduction. During the formulation of both sector and sub-sector goals, gender concerns are integrated as there is proof to show that for 80 per cent of women constitute the agricultural workforce but only a small per centage of them hold title deeds to land. This imposes a great constraint on their ability to make major land-related investment decisions including obtaining credit using title deeds as collateral. Gender inequality in ownership and access to productive assets are addressed through the youth and women developments funds and new policy and affirmative action that requires 30per cent of employment positions in the county be reserved for women. Strategies adopted in this county profile will ensure that both women and men are effectively integrated in the development process at all levels and adopt a gender responsive approach to planning and implementation of development activities. The process should engage more women as they constitute 51per cent of the county’s population and they constitute the majority of labour force in the productive as well as the subsistence sectors of the economy.

The poor are not able to access the basic necessities of life such as food, shelter and education. The food poor constitute 36 per cent of the population with the vulnerable groups that is hardest hit by poverty being women, the unemployed youth, widows and orphans, neglected retired old people, the street children and those living in the marginal areas of the county. Poverty in the county manifests itself in many ways including inaccessibility to health services, food insecurity, inadequate potable water, lack of good and proper clothing, inaccessibility to proper education and landlessness. The main causes of poverty in the county include the poor physical infrastructure that increases the cost of accessing and marketing of agricultural produce; and low returns from coffee, tea and milk which make it difficult for most of the agricultural community to meet their basic needs. Other causes include: lack of industries; stringent collateral requirements and high interest rates by banks; high prices of farm inputs resulting in low application by farmers; collapse of the major cooperative societies and exploitation of farmers by middlemen. The county contribution to national poverty is 0.8 per cent. Efforts will therefore be made to reduce poverty through the various sectoral policies, strategies and programmes including interventions to address environmental protection.

It’s therefore important to mainstream disaster risk reduction DRR in the county development planning to help reduce risks, mitigate prepare for and respond to both natural and man-made disasters. To mitigate on losses due to landslides the government of Kenya through the meteorological department has established a radio station (Kangema FM) which broadcasts in the local dialect to warn communities living in the area whenever there is an imminent landslide. Poor households were also issued with small radios. To mitigate on the deforestation the government through Kenya Forest Service has introduced licences for cutting and transportation of trees. Non –governmental organisations, donors, community bases organisations etc with interest in environmental conservation have come out to educate communities on the importance of conserving the environment. For example, the government through the Millennium Development Goals is implementing schools greening programme. CDF has also been financing tree nursery programmes to boost forest cover in each Murang’a County Integrated Development Plan 2013-2017 Page 49 constituency. The ministry of agriculture is encouraging farmers in the county to grow high value traditional drought resistance crops e.g. cassava, sweet potatoes, sorghum to ensure food security during dry seasons. The government through National Environment Management Authority (NEMA) has put up measures to reduce disasters in the quarrying sites through introduction of permits, regular site visits and public education. Some rivers in the county especially those near urban centres and markets are polluted due to poorly managed sewerage and drainage systems. This usually leads to diseases and environmental degradation. NEMA and the ministry of public health and sanitation has been sensitising the public on proper waste treatment and discharge To curb human-wildlife conflict, the government through the Kenya Wildlife Service has erected a life fence along the Aberdare ranges to control wild animals from moving out of the forests.

This is the productive age group and represents 46per cent of the total population in the county. There are deliberate efforts to include the youth in decision making processes and now the youth are represented in all devolved funds committees. Under the Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports, the government had embarked on revival of youth polytechnics and initiated the Youth Enterprise Fund where the youth can access loans at interest rates lower than the prevailing market rates. However most of youth are yet to benefit from this fund because of their inability to meet the requirements set to access loans from the Constituency Youth Enterprise Scheme Fund. The youth are also faced with lack of entrepreneurial skills that can help them access money from financial institutions because of lack of proper training and business skills exposure. A lot of the youth have concentrated on acquiring basic ICT skills at the expense of other skills thus crowding this market. Other challenges faced by the youth include drug abuse and consumption of illicit brews. This has affected performance of the youth both in schools and outside schools. It has also made them fail to engage in economic activities such as agriculture. Social disorder and moral decay are the end products of this and it further exposes the youth to HIV/AIDS. Murang’a County Integrated Development Plan 2013-2017 Page 51 The youth are also involved in illegal groupings that have been causing mayhem in the county and in other neighbouring counties. The youth do not like participating in agricultural activities and prefer instead to engage in other activities that promise quick returns.

The scourge is on the increase virtually in all the constituencies of the county. AIDS related deaths are common and those mainly affected are those within the productive age group of 15-49 years of age. Also, the number of HIV/AIDS orphans is on the increase. Poverty is viewed as a major cause and consequence of HIV/AIDS. Poverty increases vulnerability of people with HIV, hence there is need to redirect resources towards support services to poor households. The situation is further aggravated by the fact that HIV/AIDS mostly affects people in the productive age leaving minors and the elderly people to take care of households. Progressive gains on poverty reduction may be reversed if concerted efforts are not urgently put in place to bring the HIV/AIDS pandemic under control. The majority of new HIV infections are transmitted through unprotected sex and drug abuse particularly consumption of illicit brews which is rampant in the county. The most affected are those with untreated sexually transmitted diseases. Programs designed to slow the spread of HIV therefore need to focus on reducing transmission through sexual contact. HIV/AIDS in the county is also linked to peer pressure and ignorance of the youth based on age and sex distribution and commercial sex due to economic hardships. For HIV/AIDS prevention programmes to succeed, special attention will be directed to these factors. HIV/AIDS has led to declining productivity of the labour force due to increase in morbidity and mortality and rise in medical expenses, loss of man hours and employment. It has also led to psychological and physical stress due to uncertainty of the future, stigmatization, emotional Murang’a County Integrated Development Plan 2013-2017 Page 52 stress and depression of families left behind. Programmes geared towards encouraging people to attend voluntary counselling and testing will be undertaken as well as encouraging sector collaboration in programmes and activities directed towards reducing the spread of the virus the activities include PMCT and ART services.

Murang’a County Integrated Development Plan 2013-2017 Page 53 2.3.6 Information Communication Technology ICT is a powerful enabler of development goals due to its unique characteristics to dramatically improve communication and exchange of information and also to strengthen and create new economic and social networks. It is thus very evident that ICT, when well harnessed and focused, has the potential to bring in multiple benefits in the areas of governance, integration of all areas of the economy, development of rural areas and productive improvement thus promoting the livelihoods of the entire population and alleviating poverty. Business Process Outsourcing has been identified as a key sector under the Economic Pillar of the Kenya Vision 2030. The Vision for the BPO sector is for the country to be “the top off shoring destination in Africa.” It is also expected to become the sector of choice for employment for youth and young professionals. This calls for the county to move quickly to establish the necessary capacity in this sector. The county recognizes information communication technology as a growth sector that has immense potential for unlocking many opportunities in business, education, agriculture, industry and security. The county has been linked with fibre optic cable where by some of the government offices have been connected through internet. This has led to the operationalization of e-conferencing at the county headquarters and more offices are expected to be connected. The development of this sector will play a crucial role in opening opportunities in business and commerce in the county through easy access to the market information. The County will endeavour to ensure enhancement and expansion of ICT.

It determines how much investment the county will attract and hence the level of economic development. The county is faced with an enormous task due to insecurity especially with the outlawed groups. Despite this challenge, the county has an effective security system, well-endowed resources such as the police stations, police posts, police patrol bases, and Administration Police camps, which are well distributed across the county. With the introduction of community policing, the county has a vibrant community policing unit in all the constituencies.

Climate change is caused by emissions of Green House Gases (GHGs) into the atmosphere through natural causes and human induced activities. Climate change is a reality in Murang’a County and a common phenomenon leading to massive losses across sectors. Some of the adverse effects of climate change experienced in the county include: variation in weather patterns with low rainfall and failed seasons; severe famine and hunger causing food insecurity especially in the ASALs regions like Kambiti, Maragwa Ridge; loss of biodiversity especially at the ecosystems which are fragile like the African elephant (Loxodonta Africana) found at Aberdares that is threatened due to destruction of its habitat and breeding grounds in the forest; and resource use conflicts where Wildlife stray from protected areas to farms in search of water and forage e.g. at Kaseve hills in Murang’a South where there is conflict between the local peoples and monkeys. There is need for Murang’a County to make the necessary adjustments and prepare to cope with effects of climate change and mitigation effects. Most of the disasters in the county are experienced as a result of extreme weather conditions.

The county will strive to ensure that the populace live in a clean, secure and sustainable environment, increased forest cover; reduction of environment-related diseases; promoting environmental conservation; improving pollution and waste management; promoting public-Private partnership improve water and sanitation delivery. Specific strategies include promoting environmental conservation, improvement of pollution and waste management, public-private Murang’a County Integrated Development Plan 2013-2017 Page 56 sector partnerships in environmental issues, improving efficiency in water and sanitation, delivery and promotion of disaster preparedness in the county. Environmental conservation and management is a county priority as we focus on the concept of sustainable development. It is important to note that saving the environment, environmental protection and long term economic growth are both complementary and mutually dependent.

Murang’a County Integrated Development Plan 2013-2017 Page 57 2.3.10 Persons with Disabilities In the past, persons with disabilities have been marginalized in all sectors of development in the county. For a long time, these people have been treated as out-casts who cannot add value to economic and developmental processes. But now national campaigns to recognize the role of persons with disabilities have been initiated so as to give them equal opportunities in all aspects of socio-economic development. A major challenge in the county is that there are only two institutions that take care of needs of children with disabilities. These institutions do not offer the training required up to secondary and tertiary level requiring the students to go for further education in other counties. Another challenge is lack of data pertaining to persons with disabilities in the county which affects efforts to cater for their needs.

Murang’a County Integrated Development Plan 2013-2017 Page 71 CHAPTER THREE: Murang’a County Integrated Development Plan 2013-2017 Page 72 3 County Spatial Framework 3.1 Introduction Pursuant to section 38 of the Cities and Urban Areas Act, A city or urban area shall prepare an integrated city or urban area municipal development plan consisting of an assessment of the current social, cultural, economic and environmental situation in its area of jurisdiction; a determination of community needs, aligning them to the requirements of the Constitution; protection and promotion of the interests and rights of minorities and marginalized groups and communities; a shared vision for its development and that of the county as a whole; an audit of available resources, skills and capacities; prioritization of the identified needs in order of urgency and long-term importance; and integrated frameworks and goals to meet the identified needs; Section 37 prescribes that a city or urban area integrated development plan shall be aligned to the development plans and strategies of the county governments. This chapter presents a spatial plan for the county. It presents the necessary coordination between the various sectors. 3.2 Spatial Planning Kenya’s national goal is to attain rapid and sustained economic growth and development in all regions of the country. This is well stated in the key policy documents namely: the Economic strategy for Employment and Wealth Creation, Poverty Reduction Strategy Paper, the National Development Plan and Kenya vision 2030 blue print. The policy documents have also been done with appropriate regard to the Millennium Development Goals (MDG). To put into effect this desired goal the government has put in place a number of programmes including the direction of financial resources to the counties through: the Constituency Development Fund, the Roads Development Fund, the Local Authorities Transfer Fund (LATF), and Education Bursary Fund and now the Commission for Revenue Allocation etc. There are also a number of development agencies undertaking diverse activities in the county i.e. government line ministries, quasi-government development agencies, NGOs, CBOs, FBOs and private investors. But without an appropriate spatial frame for coordinating the activities of these agencies projects may be planned and implemented by each agency on its own assessment of local needs with little concern for the development planning framework or public participation. In this way, material resources will be wasted and facilities will operate at less than their maximum effectiveness and unnecessary costs will be incurred in the provision of infrastructural facilities and services because economic planning may be mainly sectoral and not incorporate sufficiently the spatial aspects of development at the national, regional and local levels. Spatial planning has become urgent in Kenya especially within the context of paradigm shift from district based funding towards county development funding. County spatial planning can help step down global and national development policies to become relevant at the local level. It can also help in linking economic planning (budgets) to spatial planning which has been identified as the major cause of underdevelopment in the country despite massive investments over the years. Experience from Nyandarua, Mombasa Mainland South/Kwale and Kisumu/Nyando has shown that spatial Murang’a County Integrated Development Plan 2013-2017 Page 73 planning will be a useful tool in setting development priorities of a region and coordinating implementation of these priorities amongst a multiplicity of actors. The Muranga 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. Objectives of county spatial planning include: (i) To identify the spatial distribution of the resources within the county, their level of utilization and potential; (ii) To assess the existing infrastructure their current conditions, capacity and projected demand; (iii) To identify fragile ecosystems and suggest intervention measures for their protection and conservation; (iv) To investigate human settlement trends and propose an appropriate hierarchy or urban centers that will spur rural development; (v) To asses capacity of the existing institutions and organizations and suggest strategies to enhance their performance; (vi) To suggest an integrated spatial framework that will guide the sustainable utilization of the regional resources and to bring services closer to the people; (vii) Spur rural-urban inter-linkages and hasten economic growth and development; and (viii) Suggest priority areas for intervention. 3.3 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 soil fertility, availability of productive resources, other natural resources and general production capacity, level of economic development e.g. location of industry and urbanization among others. Settlements change in size and form and respond to the changing economic and social development needs of the surrounding areas. 11% of the population consisting of 108849 people live in the 513 urban centres in the county while 89% are in the rural areas consisting of 845,111 people. In Murang’a County, about 40 per cent of the households live in stone/brick walled houses, 24.3 per cent in mud/wood walled houses while 2.19 per cent live in grass straw/tin walled houses. Most housing units in the county are roofed with corrugated iron sheets (94.38 per cent), while makuti and grass roof constitute 0.18 per cent of the households. Most of these housing units have earth floor (60.04per cent), cement floored houses make up 38.85per cent of the housing units. The county has 1,924 Low Grade, 232 Middle Grade, and 184 High Grade government housing units which are not adequate for the government officers deployed in the county. Murang’a County Integrated Development Plan 2013-2017 Page 74 3.3.1 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 The main objectives of the above strategies are:  To continue to promote the maximum development of the rural areas to improve living standards for the majority of the people;  To establish a more even geographical spread of urban physical infrastructure in order to promote more balanced economic growth throughout the nation and a more equitable standard of social services between different areas;  To encourage the expansion of several large towns in addition to Nairobi and Mombasa in order to promote regional growth thereby providing more alternatives for the absorption of the migrant population and the problems arising from excessive concentration in these towns;  To continue to develop a complementary network of communication so as to improve accessibility between centers of economic and social development;  To adopt standards of urban infrastructure which more closely relate to what can be afforded by the country as a whole; and  To continue improving the planning machinery and co-ordination between developmental agencies, which are responsible for planning, decision making, financing, implementing and administering a wide variety of services. 3.3.2 Functions of Human Settlements Ideally, human settlements perform the following functions: Service Function: Settlements facilitate the provision of schools, health services, public utilities, commercial banks, co-operatives, administration among other important services. These services not only serve the people in the towns but also those in the surrounding areas. Economic Function: They also provide employment opportunities e.g. within industries, commercial and the above service functions. They provide market for the local produce, which stimulates the conversion from subsistence to a cash economy. It also creates material advancement in both rural and urban centers through production of manufactured goods. Residential Function: Human settlements also provide a residential function for people working in non-agricultural employment. Murang’a County Integrated Development Plan 2013-2017 Page 75 3.3.3 Historical Development of the Region Muranga County is found within the former Central Province. It represents an area that was originally known as Fort Hall District in colonial times. It was one of the five districts of Central Province. The others were Nyeri, Kiambu, Nyandarua, and Kirinyaga Districts. Muranga District was sub-divided into locations whose boundaries changed many times during the colonial period. The county composed mainly of land referred to as Kikuyu Reserves in which the Kikuyu were restricted during colonial times. At independence in 1963, the district was renamed Muranga District which consisted of seven divisions namely Gatanga, Kahuro, Kandara, Kangema, Kiharu, Maragwa and Mathioya. 3.4 Situation Analysis The county is a predominantly agricultural area with coffee, tea and dairying forming the major cash generating farm activities. Electricity coverage is estimated to be approximately 30%. The county has a road coverage of 2934.95 kilometres of which 387.5km are bituminized, 1313.1km are graveled and 1234.3km are earth roads. Literacy levels are above 90% and the purchasing power parity stands at 1436US Dollars i.e. an average family of four is able to spend 121 USD per month. 3.4.1 Rural and Urban Settlements Settlements Muranga County displays very dense rural settlements in which land subdivision into narrow strips of land are very common. Since most of the county consists of ridges and valleys, land parcels are mostly subdivided in such a way that each parcel has access to a road on one side and a river/stream on the opposite side. Subdivision into sizes that are not agriculturally viable is not uncommon. Some of the subdivisions do not meet the requirements for registration hence are not registered. There are a total of 513 market centres in the county. Major shopping centers include Kahati, Kahuro, Kandara, Kangari, Kangema, Kamahuha, Kenol, Kigumo, Kiriaini, Kirwara, Makuyu, Maragwa and Saba Saba. 89% of the population in the County is rural based while 11% is urban, thus making agriculture the main economic activity in the county. Under the Urban Areas and Cities Act, 2011, Muranga town which hosts the County Headquarters has been classified as a township while other town centers have been unclassified. Previously three of the centres were classified as towns (Murang’a, Maragwa and Makuyu towns) and three as urban centres (Kabati, Kangari and Kiriaini). There are 18,963 registered traders, both retail and wholesale. The wholesalers mostly deal with consumer and hardware products while retail traders, who are in both rural and urban areas, deal mainly with food products The population of the town consists mainly of a young population with more than 50% of the people being below the age of 30 years. The population structure is indicated in the following figure Murang’a County Integrated Development Plan 2013-2017 Page 76          Source: Kenya Open Data 3.4.2 Emerging Issues: Urban Settlements  Indiscriminate solid waste disposal  Urban sprawl/ Unplanned settlements  Inadequate recreational facilities  Poor road conditions  Mixed Developments  Inadequate water supply  Pollution ( land, air, and water)  Inadequate housing units  Poor waste water disposal  Over-reliance on agro-based industries  Inadequate sanitation facilities e.g. public toilets, waste receptors, waste disposal sites  Stagnation of urban centres  There is no strong industrial base  Inadequate/Lack of public facilities such as cemeteries, health facilities 3.4.3 Possible Solutions  Planning of the urban centres  Road improvement  Upgrading of water supply systems  Development of housing projects  Urban renewal Murang’a County Integrated Development Plan 2013-2017 Page 77  Development of sewage systems  Industrial diversification  Enforcement of by – laws by the County Government  Provision of sanitation facilities 3.4.4 Functional Roles of Urban Centres Urban centres are usually hubs of innovations and enterprises. These centres are also sources of employment both in the formal and informal sectors. They also serve as entry and exit points for commodities such as farm produce and consumer goods 3.4.5 Urban-Rural Linkages Strong urban-rural linkages are vital for the development of any region as they determine the flow of goods and services. These linkages are often aided by a good transportation network and a functional industrial base. Ideally, the rural and urban areas complement one another in spurring development in the region. The rural areas are suppliers of basic foodstuffs and raw materials. The rural areas also offer labour for urban-based activities. There are strong linkages between Muranga Town and other urban centres such as Kangema and Kahuro. Some of the towns especially those located on the Nairobi – Nyeri Highway e.g. Kenol and Makuyu have an easier access to the city than to the county headquarters All weather linkages exist between urban centers and rural areas because most of the rural roads, which are considered tea access roads, are graveled. However, the conditions of some of the existing roads are poor thus increasing the cost of transportation. Demand by the population for non-food commodities, farm inputs and services by the agricultural sector as well as demand for foodstuff by the urban dwellers can only be met if there is an existing and coordinated urban-rural linkage. 3.4.6 Linkages between Muranga and Neighbouring Counties The linkage between Muranga County and the neighbouring Nyeri, Kirinyaga, Kiambu, Embu and Machakos Counties is easy through all weather bituminized roads. However, the linkage with Nyandarua County which is a food rich area is through taking a loop via Nairobi or Nyeri and Nyahururu due to the location of Aberdare National Park between the two counties, through which passage is restricted. It is notable that the proximity of Nairobi City (approximately 100kms with a tarmac road) has to some extent restricted the rate of growth of Muranga town. The transport system between the town and the city is fluent with a sufficient number of public service vehicles (matatus) plying the route. 3.5 Water and Sanitation in the county There are 5 water and sanitation companies in Murang’a county namely: Muwasco, Gatawasco, Muswasco, Kahuti, Kandara. Ithanga water supply was handed over from Thika East and is now also part of Murang’a. 3.5.1 Gatamathi water and sanitation (Located in Mathioya Sub-County) Murang’a County Integrated Development Plan 2013-2017 Page 78 Water Water Water Distances Sanitation Remarks Supply Sources Resources from the Scheme nearest And Quality point 1.

Quarrying activities include: sand harvesting, excavation of building blocks and ballast and extraction of ball clay in Rurii, Kigetuini and Gakoigo. It is estimated that 42,900 tonnes of sand are harvested annually. The harvested ballast is estimated at 22,016 tonnes and hard core at 189,770 tonnes annually with 6,971 people involved. There is need to have a geologist for the county identify the potential of mineral resources in the county, map the mining zones and develop a mining guideline for Murang’a County. 3.7 Tourism The main tourist attraction sites in the county are the Aberdares National Park and cultural heritage sites that have a rich history on the origins of the Agikuyu people. Such sites are at Mukurwe wa Nyagathanga and Karia Ka Mbari ya Ngware. Moreover, there are also ideal natural sites for hiking and camping at Rapid Camp, Aberdare cottages and sport and leisure fishing sites at Kimakia fishing grounds and Ndakaini Dam. 3.8 Wildlife The main wildlife in the county are elephants which are the major source of human-wildlife conflicts especially in Mathioya and Kigumo constituencies. This is due to the constituencies’ proximity to the Aberdare forest which forms the wildlife habitat. Other wildlife in the county is Columbus monkeys and their related species. 3.9 Environment 3.9.1 Major Contributors to Environmental Degradation - Improper land use planning and Management - Lack of town planning and uncontrolled development - Encroachment and Destruction of wetlands and water catchment areas - Poor waste management - Loss of forest/tree cover - Uncontrolled mining (sand harvesting, quarrying and extraction of ball clay) 3.9.2 Effects of Environment Degradation - Landslides and mass wasting - Blockage of water ways and sewerage system - Water and land pollution - Collapse of mining areas leading to deaths - Unreliable rainfall patterns - Invasion of new pests, diseases and weeds - Soil, water and air pollution Murang’a County Integrated Development Plan 2013-2017 Page 85 - Drying up of rivers and waterbeds - Flooding - Soil erosion - Congestion in towns and constrictions of access roads - Incompatible and unsustainable development 3.9.3 Effects of Climate Change in the County - Variation in weather patterns with reduced rainfall and failed seasons - Frequent and prolonged droughts and diminishing water resources - Floods/Flash floods and landslides - Environmental degradation and habitat destruction - Resurgence of weeds, diseases and pests - Loss of biodiversity especially at the ecosystems which are fragile - Severe famine and hunger causing food insecurity especially at the ASALs regions like Kambiti, Maragua Ridge, etc. - Resource use conflicts e.g. Human/Wildlife Conflicts 3.9.4 Climate Change Adaptation Strategies and Mitigation Measures These include prevention, tolerance, resilient, change of land use practices, relocation and initiating restoration of degraded environments in the County. Right policies and actions must be put in place across all sectors and deliberate investments and improved budget allocation towards environment management. This will provide holistic and collective response and synergy in order to maximise positive impacts. Adaptation strategies must involve community participation in environmental management activities because they must make appropriate adjustments in their livelihood approaches. Mitigation measures are attained through the application of appropriate technologies, alternative approaches, available opportunities and strategies. These efforts will promote green economy and sustainable development. Coping mechanisms are sector specific allowing relevant and applicable interventions to be formulated and implemented. These include: Forestry Forest cover ensures carbon sink and sequestration while firming up soil thus preventing soil erosion. Tree planting is the most effective way of enhancing forest cover and reducing environmental 2 degradation. The county has five indigenous gazetted forests covering a total area of 254.4 Km . They are: Gatare, Karua, Kimakia, Kiambicho and Wanjerere forests. These forests are divided into two zones; the tropical montane forest zone located along the Aberdare ranges and the semi-arid forest zone located in the lower parts of the county. There are also 204,557 farm forests which are privately owned plantations. Water The adaptive techniques developed and applied are either ‘supply-side’ or ‘demand-side’. ‘Supply-side’ adaptive techniques involve changing structures, operating rules and institutional arrangements. Murang’a County Integrated Development Plan 2013-2017 Page 86 ‘Demand-side’ adaptive techniques involve water demand management e.g. efficient irrigation, water pricing, and emphasis on conservation, awareness raising campaigns, policies and regulations to encourage efficient use of water. The coping strategies include;  Water re-use, recycling and avoid unsustainable uses.  Low cost improved technologies  Leak detections by water suppliers  Constructed artificial wetlands, bogs and slow moving streams as low cost water treatment option.  Integrated watershed planning and management. Other specific coping strategies include: Agriculture  Diversification of crops to help cope with shifting rainfall patterns  Farmers switch from regular crops to drought resistance/tolerant crops which requires less water  Apply controlled irrigation to safeguard the excessive use of water resources thus reducing the amount of water available for other human uses and natural systems.  Promotion of good farm practices e.g. use of efficient nitrogen fertilizers and increased yields.  Use of alternative fuels such as bio-diesels, on-farm energy generation, etc.  Reduced tillage systems  Cover cropping  Development of local markets. Health  Strengthening the public health institutions to cope with increased occurrence of climate change related diseases e.g. malaria, cholera among others.  Intensifying public health campaigns and public participation on climate change related diseases. Transport  Constructions of road bypass fly-over and ring roads thus reducing traffic congestion and reduce high fuel usage/wastage as well as subsequent emission of GHGs.  Good maintenance of road network to ensure high efficiency of vehicles and less emissions of GHGs.  Adoption of mass public transport  Improved telecommunication to reduce motor transport  Timely tuning of vehicles to reduce emissions  Use of non-motorized transport  Enforcement of air quality regulations and standards  Murang’a County Integrated Development Plan 2013-2017 Page 87 Energy  Diversification of energy supply such as electricity, wind, etc.  Promote energy efficiency and conservation through using improved stoves at household levels.  Biomass substitution using biogas  Up-scale the exploitation of renewable energy sources  Improving efficiency of water use and pricing  Improving energy efficiency  Switch to less carbon-intensive fossil fuels  Increased use of low- and near-zero-carbon energy sources  Sequestering CO2 through the enhancement of natural and biological sinks  Carbon dioxide capture and storage Early warning data and information should be availed and disseminated in order to enhance preparedness. Disaster preparedness is critical in order to mitigate the effects which result to environmental disasters. Promoting best environmental practices such as water harvesting, cleaner production technologies, ecological footprint, terracing for soil conservation and water retention also enhance crop yield and food security. 3.10 Industries Murang’a County does not have big manufacturing industries. However there are several agro- processing factories as shown in the next table: Industries/ Factories in Murang’a County by type and Sub County Sub- Counties Industry/ factory by Type Tea Coffee Milk Fruits Nuts Animal Feeds Cottages Kangema 1 15 2 0 0 0 Mathioya 2 16 Murang’a East 3 6 1 Murang’a South 0 8 1 1 3 5 Gatanga 2 21 0 2 1 0 1 Kandara 1 34 1 Kigumo 3 38 Kahuro 1 23 Murang’a County Integrated Development Plan 2013-2017 Page 88 Total 13 161 3 3 3 3 6 Source: County Development Planning Office, Murang’a- 2013 3.11 Challenges and Constraints The major challenges experienced by government service providers towards fulfilling their mandates are;  Limited financial resources to finance the activities set out in the annual work plan.  Unavailability of spatial data due to cost of acquiring data or no records of the same exists.  Format in which available data is in. data is available in analog format which is difficult to transform into digital format.  Lack of modern planning equipments e.g. Modern planning software (GIS), plotters, scanners and high capacity computers. 3.12 Way Forward Organization of the county space is first priority for sustained and equitable development. Land is a key resource and thus it must be planned to ensure optimum utilization whilst protecting the environment. Uncontrolled parceling (Land fragmentation) of land and unguided urban growth will eat into productive agricultural zones and expose the county to food deficiency hence net importer. With devolution, the anticipated increase in population, investment and resource use must be guided. The department has and will continue to prepare Physical Development Plans to guide established urban areas and engage in a County Strategic/ Integrated spatial Plan. This will indicate zones and their appropriate land uses based on evaluated potential. Depending on availability of funding, the department is capable of completing two (2) Physical Development Plans for small to medium centers while one plan for municipality and townships can annually. The office plans to complete Matunda Local Physical Development Plan, Chekalini Development Plan and Lugari Development Plan currently underway. Effort will also be placed to pursue approval of revised or newly prepared plans for approval as per the list of yet to be approved table. 3.13 Conclusion and Recommendations Physical Planning is holistic process and so demands cooperation from all stakeholders. If this cooperation is extended to the department it would go a long way in ensuring timely fulfillment of its mandate and also public appreciation of the outcome. In order for to achieve the targets spatial plans and contribute fully to the realization of their objectives, the above mentioned constrains should be addressed by relevant stakeholders. Murang’a County Integrated Development Plan 2013-2017 Page 89 CHAPTER FOUR: Murang’a County Integrated Development Plan 2013-2017 Page 90 4 Linkages with other Plans 4.0 Introduction This chapter discusses the County Integrated Development Plan linkages with the Kenya Vision 2030 and the Constitution of Kenya. The linkage of the County Development agenda with the Millennium Development Goals is highlighted. 4.1 Integrated Development Planning Integrated development planning is 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 aspirations of the citizens. The CIDP is the principal strategic planning instrument which guides and informs all planning, budgeting, management and decision making processes in a county. 4.2 Legislation on Integrated Planning in Kenya 4.2.1 The County Government Act 2012 County governments are required to prepare 5-year integrated county development plans and the annual county budgets to implement them according to the County Governments Act 2012. Under Section 102 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. In addition, county planning shall serve as a basis for engagement between county government and the citizenry, other stakeholders and interest groups. According to the Act 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 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 Public Finance Management Act (PFMA), 2012 The PFM Act 2012 provides for effective and efficient management of public resources. Section 125 of the Act requires the budget process for county governments in any financial year to consist of integrated development planning process which include long term and medium term planning as well Murang’a County Integrated Development Plan 2013-2017 Page 91 as financial and economic priorities for the county over the medium term. Section 126 of the Act further obligates each county government to prepare an integrated development plan that includes strategic priorities for the medium term that reflect the county government's priorities and plans, a description of how the county government is responding to changes in the financial and economic environment; and, programmes to be delivered. 4.2.4 Urban Areas and Cities Act, 2011 Urban Areas and Cities Act (2011) is also emphatic on the need for 5 year integrated development planning and the need to align annual budgeting to the plan. These plans are separate from those of the county. In section 36(2) it 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.” 4.3 CDP Linkages with Kenya Vision 2030 and Medium Term Plans 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 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 per cent per annum and sustain the same till 2030 in order to generate more resources to reinvigorate the economy to meet its envisaged goals and aspirations. The key sectors in this pillar include: tourism, agriculture and livestock, manufacturing, wholesale and retail trade, Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) and financial services. A seventh sector, oil and mineral resources, has now been added taking cognizance of the recent related developments. The 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 designed to be implemented in successive five year Medium Term Plans. The first plan covered the period 2008-2012. The current 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 Murang’a County Integrated Development Plan 2013-2017 Page 92 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 which will be the focus 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 LAPSSET Corridor; improving national security; promoting national values and ethics; and continue implementing 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. County governments therefore must embrace the Kenya Vision 2030 and 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. 4.4 CDP Linkages with the Constitution of Kenya, 2010 The Constitution of Kenya (2010) prescribes national values and principles of governance which include sharing and devolution of power. It creates a two-tier government: a national government and 47 county governments. The Fourth Schedule delineates the functions of the national and county governments. A total of 14 functions have been devolved to the counties. The main ones include: county planning and development; agriculture; county health services; control of air pollution, noise pollution, other public nuisances and outdoor advertising; cultural activities, public entertainment and public amenities; county roads and transport; animal control and welfare; trade development and regulation; pre-primary education and village polytechnics; specific national government policies on natural resources and environmental conservation; county public works and services; fire fighting services and disaster management; and, control of drugs and pornography. Emphasis is also made for the counties to ensure participatory development and capacities are developed at the county and community level. Murang’a County Integrated Development Plan 2013-2017 Page 93 Five laws which provide the framework for devolution have been enacted, namely: Urban Areas and Cities Act, 2011; The County Governments Act, 2012; The Transition to Devolved Government Act, 2012; The Intergovernmental Relations Act, 2012 and The Public Finance Management Act, 2012. The PFM Act 2012 provides for effective and efficient management of public resources. Article 125 of the Act requires the budget process for county governments in any financial year to consist of integrated development planning process which include long term and medium term planning as well as financial and economic priorities for the county over the medium term. Articles 126 of the Act further obligates each county government to prepare an integrated development plan that includes strategic priorities for the medium term that reflect the county government's priorities and plans, a description of how the county government is responding to changes in the financial and economic environment; and, programmes to be delivered. The County Governments are composed of the County Executive Committee and County Assemblies. The County Executive Committee is expected to supervise the administration and delivery of services to citizens as well as conceptualize and implement policies and county legislation. The County Assembly is a legislative organ and will play an oversight role on all County public institutions including the urban areas and cities. The County Governments are required to prepare the County Integrated Development Plans to enable prioritization of socio-economic development issues at the local level. This is mandatory before the funding of county projects and programmes. The County Development Profile seeks to provide the baseline information which will guide the execution of the foregoing functions. 4.5 Implementation of the Millennium Development Goals at the County Level The 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 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. The MDGs based planning in Kenya was launched in 2004. The Vision 2030 and its first Medium Term Plan (MTP 2008-2012) fully incorporated 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. Murang’a County Integrated Development Plan 2013-2017 Page 94 4.5.1 Status of implementation of MDGs at the county level The Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) are being implemented at the county level by the various public and private sector. The government channels grants to the grassroots which include CDF, LATFs, CDTF, the Bursary Funds, Orphans &Vulnerable Children cash transfer, Cash Transfer for older persons, Poverty Eradication Fund, TOWA Funds, Youth and Women‘s Enterprise Development Funds among others to core MDGs sectors in the county such as Education, Health and Water to aid in attaining these goals. The status of implementation of the eight goals is indicated below: i) Goal 1: Eradicate extreme poverty and hunger The per centage of people living below poverty line has been on a rising trend due to frequent natural calamities, high inflation rates and poor infrastructure and adverse climatic conditions. The county’s poverty rate stands at 36per cent of population living below a dollar a day. Though this is higher than the national target of 21.5%, it is lower than the national average which stands at 45.9 per cent. The high poverty level could be attributed to high rate of unemployment level which stands at 54.8 per cent of the total labour force. This high rate is attributed to lack of employment opportunities since there are very few industries in the county to absorb the existing large labour force. However, though poverty levels are high, the county is food secure with a malnutrition rate of 5%, which is relatively low compared to the national average of 20.9% compared to a national target of 16.2%. In order to fight poverty in the county there is need for more initiatives towards job creation and resilient alternative livelihood like agro processing. ii) Goal 2: Achieve Universal Primary Education The net primary school enrolment rate in the county is 93.85per cent whereas the completion rate stands at 97.13 per cent. Though these per centages are above the national levels of 92.5 per cent enrolment and 91.2 per cent completion, the net enrolment can however be increased further if mandatory primary school education is enforced. The literacy rate in the county stands at 78 per cent, which is lower than the national average of 79.5 per cent. This indicates that there is need to provide for adult education in order to attain the national target of 100 per cent. iii) Goal 3: Promote Gender Equality and Empower Women The proportion of girls to boys in both primary and secondary schools in the county is 0.98:1 and 0.97:1 respectively. This portends that the difference is minimal. The share of women in wage employment in the non-agriculture sector stands at 33.9 per cent. This means that the men are more engaged in employment in the non-agricultural sector. iv) Goal 4: Reduce Child Mortality Infant mortality rate stands at 31 per 1000 live births against a national average of 52 per 1000 live births. The mortality rate for children under five is 59 per 1,000 live births against the national average of 74 per 1,000 live births. Whereas these rates are lower than the national averages, they are still higher than the county targets of 21 per 1000 live births for infant mortality and 33 per 1000 live births for the under five mortality. This rate can however, be reduced further if home deliveries are reduced so that they can be attended to by skilled personnel at medical facilities. v) Goal 5: Improve Maternal Health Murang’a County Integrated Development Plan 2013-2017 Page 95 The maternal mortality rate in the county stands at 350 per 100,000 live births compared to the national average of 488 per 100,000 live births. This rate can be attributed to a high rate of antenatal care coverage in the county which stands at 84 per cent against a target of 90 per cent. Whereas the county figure may be lower than the national figure, it is still far below the national target of 147 per 100,000 live births. The proportion of births attended to by skilled personnel in the county stands at 61.6 per cent while the national average stands at 43.3 per cent against a target of 90 per cent. This indicates a significant gap in meeting the national target. There is therefore need to train community health workers in attending to home deliveries in order to also minimize the maternal mortality rate. The contraceptive prevalence rate in the county stands at 73.4 per cent against the national figure of 45.5per cent and surpasses the national target of 60per cent. There is also a substantial unmet need for family planning which stands at 26.5per cent. Whereas, it may not be the sole reason for the low population growth rate in the county, the high uptake of contraceptive use in the county has contributed to the slow population growth rate. vi) Goal 6: Combat HIV and AIDS, Malaria and Other Diseases The county population aged 15-24 years with comprehensive correct knowledge of HIV/AIDs stands at 90 per cent and this can explain the low HIV/AIDs prevalence of 2.4 per cent against a national target of less than 2 per cent within the same age group. Those with advanced HIV/AIDS infection and with access to antiretroviral drugs stand at 42.2 per cent. Incidences and death rates associated with malaria stands at 0 per cent in the county against the national average of 31 per cent whereas the proportion of Tuberculosis cases detected and cured under directly observed treatment short course (DOTS) stands at 86.6per cent against a national figure of 85.43per cent. vii) Goal 7: Ensure Environmental Sustainability The county has a recorded forest cover of 11.6% which surpasses the minimum internationally agreed target of 10 per cent. This can be attributed to many programmes on afforestation and agro forestry that have been initiated in the county for a number of years. However, there is severe threat of massive deforestation arising from huge demand for wood fuel from the many tea factories in the county. The proportion of population using an improved drinking water source in the county is 60 per cent as compared to the national figure of 60.2 per cent. There is however, potential to attain the national target of 75 per cent if additional resources were allocated for community water supply projects. The proportion of population in the county using an improved sanitation facility is 99.7per cent way above the national average of 82 per cent and the national target of 96per cent. viii) Goal 8: Develop A Global Partnership for Development The goal deals with how the county relates with the global environment. This is evidenced by the many international NGOs and other development agencies operating in the county which include Save the Children International, World Vision, VSF, Oxfam, Mercy corps, and WFP. These NGO‘s and development agencies have continued to partner with government departments to accelerate Murang’a County Integrated Development Plan 2013-2017 Page 96 development in health, education sectors and livestock sub-sector. With the current trends it is unlikely that the target will be met by the year 2015.

This chapter contains a budget projection required for managing Murang’a county government. It also indicates the resources that are available for capital projects development; strategies for raising revenue; and their projections for the plan period. In addition, strategies for asset management, financial management, and capital financing are included. This includes, but not limited to, strategies to expand the revenue generation, resource sharing with the central government, means of attracting external funding. 6.1 Capital Projects Funding The County Government Act 2012 obligates the county government by to ensure harmony of the integrated development plan with the national plans, and other sub-county plans such sectoral plan, spatial plans and urban and city plans which are located in the county. Capital project funding will be done through annual budgetary allocation as a per centage that does not fall below 30% of the total expenditure, loan financing, leases, and public private partnership.

Rapid population growth has compounded the pressure on the existing infrastructure and other services hence the need for the county government to develop strategies to raise more revenue. The County Government shall use the following strategies. (a) Local Revenue The county intends to carry out a comprehensive study that will among other things rationalize the existing traditional revenues as previously was being collected by defunct local authorities, come up with new sources as guided by the now expanded mandates and develop more IT enabled systems to seal leakages. A performance based system is also being implemented to make revenue collectors more accountable. These measures are expected to grow local revenue at an average of 20% within the next five years while at the same time ensuring the principle of equity, certainty and ease of collection are observed. Particulars 2013/14 2014/15 2015/16 2016/17 2017/18 Local Revenue 1,300,000,000.00 1,560,000,000.00 1,872,000,000.00 2,246,400,000.00 2,695,680,000.00 (b) Central Government funding Based on the Commission on Revenue Allocation, County Government of Murang’a is expected to receive Kshs.4,321,883,032.00 for the FY 2013/14. This allocation has been arrived at based on the county population (45%), poverty index (20%), land area (8%) basic equal share (25%) and fiscal responsibility (2%). The allocation is expected to gradually increase as more functions are transferred to counties from the central Government. Prudent public resource management as stipulated in the PFM Act 2012 will determine the amount the county receives in future on fiscal responsibility. 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 financial and economic priorities for the county over the medium term and makes an overall estimation of the county government's revenues and expenditures. For projection purposes central Government are projected to grow by at least 5% per annum.

Direct grants, asset financing models public private partnerships, and low interest loans are all being considered. There are also plans to undertake reasonable infrastructural development in the County so as to attract private investors. 6.3 Assets and Financial Management Section 153(1) of the PFM act provides for management of assets in a manner that is responsible so as to ensure that a county Government achieves value for money in acquiring, using or disposing those assets. In compliance, an asset identification study is underway that will involve listing, verification of ownership, valuation of the said asset and compilation of a register. The asset register will be managed using ICT. Regular repair and maintenance will be carried out to extend their useful life in addition to regular verification. 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 also 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.

The chapter presents the projects and programmes as follows; On-going projects, (flagship and others), stalled projects, outstanding/ unfunded projects and new proposals. The information is presented based on the Medium Term Expenditure Framework budgeting system. Nine sectors have been used, 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 exp lained. Finally, the short term and medium term priorities identified during the second Medium Term Plan (2013-2017) county consultations are presented as new proposals. Cross Cutting issues in each sector are also included. 7.1 Agriculture and Rural Development This is one of the main sectors in the county. It comprises of the following sub-sectors in the county: Agriculture, Livestock Development, Cooperative Development and Marketing, Lands, Fisheries Development, Forestry and Wildlife, and related Research and Development. 7.1.1 Sector Vision and mission Vision An innovative, commercially-oriented and modern 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 distributions and sustainable management of land resources and sustainable management of forestry and wildlife resources. Murang’a County Integrated Development Plan 2013-2017 Page 110 7.1.2 County Response to the Sector Vision and Mission In response to sector vision and mission the county will continue to create an enabling environment for agricultural and rural development through review of existing policy framework, promotion of market and product development, facilitating increased productivity and improved agricultural outputs, and promoting development of livestock production and fisheries. The county through extension services is also striving to control vector and livestock diseases through promotion and application of environmentally friendly products. The living standards of small-scale farmers are improved through the formation and strengthening of co-operative societies to assist in marketing of both agricultural and livestock products. Extension services have been scaled-up to equip farmers with knowledge to enable them to maximize their output, improve storage to reduce post-harvest losses, value addition and soil conservation. Transfer of technology from research institutions is being passed on to farmers to boost their production in agriculture and livestock. Economical and sustainable use of land resources is encouraged. 7.1.3 The Role of Stakeholders in the Sector The following are the stakeholders in the sector Stakeholder Roles Agro-chemicals and seed Farm trials, trainings, supply of chemicals, seed distribution companies Research stations Promotion of new technologies & trainings, soil testing Faith Based Organizations Trainings, provision of planting inputs Micro-Finance Institutions Provision of credit Government provides overall policy direction and an enabling Government Departments environment various departments help in mobilization, service delivery, trainings, enforcement NGOs Involved in capacity building and financial assistance CDF Provision of funds, promotion of services to community Stockists Provision of quality farm-inputs Farmers Application of technology Murang’a County Integrated Development Plan 2013-2017 Page 111 7.1.4 Sector resources, constraints, achievements and strategies Prorities Resources Development Previous Development Constraints Development Strategies Achievements   Numerous rivers, water  Poor road network,  Introduction of  Value addition, pans, dams, inadequate drought tolerant  Timely delivery of  Human resources electricity crops, subsidized farm  Favourable climate, connectivity,  increased use of inputs, increase  Agro-processing factories.  inadequate internet fertilizer, investment in (coffee, tea , nuts among connectivity,  Diversification; agriculture/agri- others), animal feeds, milk  poor marketing  Improved food based industries, processing, forests, system, security  Improved livestock,  High cost of farm (subsidized technologies;  New technologies (green inputs, fertilizer); improve houses),  High cost of AI  Capacity building infrastructures  Existence of co-operatives services, farmers; (ICT. and associations such as  Land  Milk cooling  Road network, the Maragua Horticulture fragmentation, facilities; electricity Farmers’ Co-operative  poor urban  Private AI connectivity and and Maragua Banana planning,/unecono providers; reliability) Association. mical land sizes,  Crop varieties  Upgrading  High population of  poor quality of which are disease breeds (Cattle 200,000 dairy cattle. breeding stock, tolerant; and Poultry)  Gakoigo stakeholders’  poor value  Technology to  Modern show addition, reduce soil acidity; agricultural  Fish farming - water is  Low investment in  Hatcheries; technologies. available for fish ponds; agriculture and  Technology shop  Contract  Fruit processing plant can agri- based for sale of TC production be completed so as to industry. bananas;  Connect small realize its full potential;  Coffee theft  Laboratories scale farmers to  Availability of land for  Over reliance on (soil testing, TC the market and establishment of market rain fed agriculture. bananas); exploit the centre; and  Lack of disease  Increased dairy existing market  Availability of Natural and vector control cattle population; proximity (Nyeri Resources. program (anthrax,  Increase Dairy and Thika) swine fever) goats;  Establish cold  Lack of disease  AI services and dry storage. control zones  Improved  Introduce new  Decline of man-  Increase acreage cash crops such power in farms due of pasture land; as sunflower and to alcoholism and  Increase adoption cotton drug abuse by the of greenhouse  Value addition for youth; and farming; milk  Contamination of  Increased  Pork, Poultry and water sources demand of animal beef processing hence food health services; – County Ranch products having Abattoir toxins.

County spatial planning help in linking economic planning (budgets) to spatial planning which, has been identified as the major cause of underdevelopment in the country despite massive investments over the years. Whatever projects that have been proposed by various sectors must find appropriate location and expression as per spatial plan and adhere to county policies on spatial development. Physical planners prepare plans for the settled areas i.e towns. However, there is increased need to plan both towns and rural areas as they are mutually interdependent. There is need to control growth of towns and continued subdivision of land into small and uneconomical parcels. In addition some areas that are either of ecological and/or cultural importance require to be conserved. It is against this background that spatial planning becomes a major undertaking for Murang’a County. 1.4 Goals 1. Implementation of vision 2030 flagship projects relevant to the department 2. Preparation of County integrated development plans 3. Preparation local physical development plans (Urban area plans) 4. Facilitation of provision of secure land tenure 5. Preparation of county spatial plans. 1.5 Objectives 1) Capacity building/empowerment of land sector 2) Administer land in a transparently through use of ICT, develop e-land information system 3) Ensure equitable access to land to promote livelihoods 4) Work with National government institution to secure land rights to promote investment 5) Oversight on land and physical development disputes 6) Control of development and housing typologies Enforcement 7) Conservation and protection of ecologically sensitive areas. Objective 1 Capacity building/empowerment of land sector Strategies  Create an enabling environment for land, housing and urban development sector through: o Staffing and rationalization of staff setting up offices in major urban areas o Training and development o Equipping through Setting up a GIS lab, vehicles, o Development of contract documents for procurement of planning services o Ensure customer satisfaction through service chrters.

Strategies:  Map all ecologically sensitive areas including dams  Map all culturally important areas  Secure all the areas and channel to appropriate sector  Control/ prevent encroachment of these areas There are a total of 513 market centres in the county. Major shopping centers include Kabati, Kahuro, Kandara, Kangari, Kangema, Kamahuha, Kenol, Kigumo, Kiriaini, Kirwara, Makuyu, Maragwa and Saba Saba. 89% of the population in the County is rural based while 11% is urban, thus making agriculture the main economic activity in the county. Under the Urban Areas and Cities Act, 2011, Muranga town which hosts the County Headquarters has been classified as a township while other town centers have been unclassified. Previously three of the centres were classified as towns (Murang’a, Maragwa and Makuyu towns) and three as urban centres (Kabati, Kangari and Kiriaini). Urban centres are usually hubs of innovations and enterprises. These centres are also sources of employment both in the formal and informal sectors. They serve as centres for distribution of agricultural inputs and markets for agricultural produce.

Farming and rearing of animals has become an expensive venture. Farmers are unable to hire labour for farm activities 2. Destruction of crops by wild life was identified as a challenge by many producers. 3. Irrigation of farms is a key priority all over the county. This can greatly improve agriculture in general and counter famine within the region. 4. Availability of affordable fertilizer to farmers is a top priority for farmers in Kahuro. The farmers currently access fertilizers from Sagana. There is need for subsidized fertilizer. This will improve the income levels and provide a good base for taxation 5. The county government should consider bailing out coffee farmers who are currently in debt 6. The county government should support the use of modern farming practices such as the use of greenhouse technology. Women and youth groups should be supported in these ventures. 7. Coffee farming in Muranga should be championed by the county government since it has the potential to uplift many people out of poverty. 8. Kiria in Garu irrigation project requires financing to purchase pumps to boost irrigation of crops. Similarly, Mugoi Secondary School requires water pumps for their tanks. Karuru district has a challenge in accessing water for irrigation. The district has two water tanks purchased by CDF which are currently not utilized. 9. Livestock feeds should be made accessible and affordable to producers 10. The county government should assist producers to access market for their produce. There is need for markets for avocadoes and mangoes which are plentiful in the county. 11. Veterinary services for livestock - Veterinary staff should be accessible to producers and be able to make visits to homestead to vaccinate animals and offer Artificial Insemination services. 12. Co-operatives for the livestock producers should be established 7.1.6 Strategies to Mainstream Cross-Cutting Issues Agriculture and Rural Development sector will ensure all cross cutting issues are mainstreamed in programmes and projects within the subsectors. The sector will therefore promote empowerment and participation of women, youth and other vulnerable groups in its activities. This will lead to reduced crime rates, increased employment opportunities and hence increased income. The sector will continue to sensitize the community on the dangers of contracting HIV/AIDS and disaster management through workshops and seminars undertaken by various sub sectors. Enterprises such as dairy goats, kitchen gardens, traditional vegetables and fish farming which can provide nutrition to the infected people will be promoted. Through promotion of value addition of the agricultural produce, farmers will be able to fetch more from the market and thus reduce poverty as well create employment to the ever increasing population. The focus of the sector will also be tailored towards technologies and enterprises that are friendly to the environment. This will include sensitizing farmers on the need to plant indigenous trees at the expense of water consuming exotic blue gum trees. Importance of protecting water catchment areas to improve water conservation will be promoted. The sector will embrace ICT services as link with other sectors in the county and outside the county. With the use of ICT the sector will benefit a lot through E-commerce in marketing of its products. The sector will also access most of the information worldwide through use of ICT. Environmental conservation will be addressed through appropriate use of agro chemicals, forest conservation, good animal husbandry and appropriate farming methods. Murang’a County Integrated Development Plan 2013-2017 Page 160 7.2 General Economic, Commercial and Labour Affairs The sector is represented in the county by the following sub sectors: trade, tourism, industrialization and labour. 7.2.1 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. 7.2.2 County Response to the Sector Vision and Mission In response to the sector Vision and Mission, the county have promoted enterprises which attract tourism through seminars and rehabilitation of tourist attraction centres like Kimakia fishing camp and Mukurwe Wa Nyagathanga.

Industries will be required to maintain the health, safety and environmental requirements to avert disasters in places of work. HIV and AIDs programmes at work place will be initiated and made integral part of routine work. Promotion of tourism in the county will create new job opportunities and markets for farm products. By embracing ICT the sector will promote cultural tourism products as a brand and market county tourism locally and internationally. Murang’a County Integrated Development Plan 2013-2017 Page 174 In mainstreaming of cross cutting issues, the subsectors will provide training for women and youth engaged in sector related activities. All subsectors will integrate security issues in their activities in order to sustain growth and promote more investment. Murang’a County Integrated Development Plan 2013-2017 Page 175 7.3 Energy, Infrastructure and ICT (EII) The sector is represented in the county by the following sub sectors: County government, roads, transport, energy, public works, and information and communication. 7.3.1 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 7.3.2 County Response to the Sector Vision and Mission To attain the vision and the mission, the county has continued to implement the annual road works programme in collaboration with other stakeholders to put in place the necessary infrastructure for rapid socio-economic development. The county will intensify routine maintenance of road network in and upgrade the earth road to all weather roads. Efforts have been made to expand the rural electrification programmes to cover most trading centres and expand ICT coverage to improve communication to open up commerce and trade. ICT is expected to ensure that information has been disseminated to the masses and also provide the public with correct information and create/portray a good image of the government. Most government department house ICT equipment but they are not fully utilized and the emphasis will be therefore on upgrading ICT skills and expanding existing facilities. The county will work closely with the existing research institutions to Develop ICT skills. 7.3.3 Role of stakeholders The following are the roles of stakeholders in the EII sector. Stakeholder Role Government agencies Provide policy direction, financing, supervision and implement programmes.

This age is vulnerable and specific measures will be introduced such as youth friendly VCT. Introduction of abstinence clubs in secondary schools is another measure that will be used to mainstream HIV/AIDS in this sector. Tree planting in schools has been on-going as a measure of increasing the forest cover in the county. Environmental conservation will be taught in schools through environment clubs formed in these institutions to teach children the need to conserve the environment. Support for the girl child education is bearing fruit and this can be seen from the retention rate and enrolment rate for primary and secondary schools. The revival of vocational training centres is expected to absorb the youths who drop out of school for various reasons where they are trained on technical courses. These centre and both primary and secondary schools will be equipped with computers and connected with internet to enhance information and communication technology. Education empowers society to overcome social economic challenges through adoption of modern technology and new systems of agricultural production and inventions in business. This will assist in alleviating poverty and management of disasters such as drought and famine.

The sector will focus on increasing the accessibility to VCT services and PMTCT and continue working with those that have tested positive to ensure they are provided with nutritional supplements and drugs. The infected and affected together with other community members will be trained so as to adequately provide home based care services. On mainstreaming of gender issues, the sector will ensure that women and youth occupy a third of the leadership positions of various community based management committees in the county. Support for the boy child education will also be encouraged because it has been realised that the boy child is becoming vulnerable as many parents seem not to care much about him. The sector will also incorporate environmental management issues to ensure that the environment is protected and conserved at all times. This will be done through regulations that protect water catchments areas from encroachment. Tree planting in schools, market centres and villages will be intensified so as to increase the forest cover in the county. The revival of vocational training centres/and polytechnics is expected to absorb the youth who drop out of school for various reasons where they will acquire ICT skills to make them more productive. The youth sub sector will sensitize young people on good citizenry and on issues of drug and substance abuse. This will ensure insecurity incidences are minimized in the county. The sector will involve all county residents in development projects and programmes aimed at alleviating poverty. This will be done through group trainings on income generating activities.

The county will engage available labour force in environmental conservation to reduce the unemployment levels in the county. To alleviate poverty, the sector will implement micro-irrigation projects to boost food production and create surplus for sale within and outside the county to generate additional income. To mitigate on disasters especially during rainy season, the sector will construct dams and water pans to harvest rain water for irrigation and livestock use. The sector will also ensure gender balance in the management of water resources. In mainstreaming of cross cutting issues, the sectors will collaborate with education sector to capacity build women and youth engaged in the sector related activities and who are being empowered financially through the women and youth enterprise funds. The sector will also promote access of women and youth to leadership and decision making process by ensuring that they hold at least a third of the leadership roles of groups/committees within the sector activities and projects. The sector will also focus on technologies and enterprises that are eco-friendly. This will include sensitizing farmers on the dangers of planting tree species which are not environmentally friendly, protection of water catchment areas and prevention of pollution among others. Water users association will also be trained and sensitized on the need to conserve and protect the environment and also on how to participate in other income generating activities and in promotion of environmentally friendly activities in the county Murang’a County Integrated Development Plan 2013-2017 Page 380 CHAPTER EIGHT: Murang’a County Integrated Development Plan 2013-2017 Page 381 8 Implementation, Monitoring and Evaluation 8.1 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 projects and programmes then costing implementing agencies as well as monitoring tools and indicators which could be selected for the County, based on projects and programmes identified in chapter three, 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 County Integrated Development Plans as well as indicators facilitating the MTEF process, and development aspects of the respective county. An indicative Monitoring and Evaluation impact /performance indicators is presented in Appendix III. Also presented as Appendix IV is the status of MDGs at the County level. 8.1 Agriculture and Rural Development (ARD) Project Constit Cost Time Monitori Monitorin Impleme Source of Implement Name uency of frame ng g tools nting funds ation Projec indicato agency status t rs Murang’a County Integrated Development Plan 2013-2017 Page 382 Project Constit Cost Time Monitori Monitorin Impleme Source of Implement Name uency of frame ng g tools nting funds ation Projec indicato agency status t rs Construct a County 2013 Market Tender CGM County Proposed prototype wide - completi document Government market in 2017 on per s GoK each centage GoK constituency Site visit Dev reports, M Partners Developmen & E t partners reports Water County 2013 No of Site visit CGM County Proposed Harvesting wide - cathmen reports, M Government 2017 ts & E GoK reports GoK Dev Partners Developmen t partners Soil and County 2013 No of Site visit CGM County Proposed Water Conservatio wide - farms reports, M Government n 2017 conserv & E GoK ed reports Developmen Dev t partners Partners Constructio County 2013 Office Tender CGM County Proposed n of District Agriculture wide - completi document Government Office 2017 on Per s GoK centage Developmen Site visit Dev t partners reports, M Partners & E reports Njaa County 2013 Loans/G Site visit CGM County On- going Marufuku Kenya. wide - rants reports, M Government 2017 issued & E GoK reports GoK Dev Partners Developmen t partners Murang’a County Integrated Development Plan 2013-2017 Page 383 Project Constit Cost Time Monitori Monitorin Impleme Source of Implement Name uency of frame ng g tools nting funds ation Projec indicato agency status t rs Promotion County 2013 Extensio Site visit CGM County On- going of Private Sector wide - n reports, M Government Developme 2017 Services & E GoK nt in Provide reports GoK Agriculture d Dev (PSDA) Partners Developmen t partners National County 2013 Extensio Site visit CGM County On- going Accelerated Agricultural wide - n reports, M Government Inputs 2017 Services & E GoK Access Provide reports GoK Programme d Dev (NAAIAP) Partners Developmen t partners Smallholder Kandar 2013 Extensio Site visit CGM County On- going Horticulture Empowerm a - n reports, M Government ent & 2017 Services & E GoK Promotion Provide reports GoK Unit Project d Dev (SHEP UP) Partners Developmen t partners Farm County 2013 Shed Site visit CGM County On- going produce grading wide - Complet reports, M Government sheds 2017 ion Per & E GoK centage reports Developmen Dev t partners Partners Cassava Marag 2013 Unit Site visit CGM County Proposed grinding unit wa - Complet reports, M Government 2017 ion Per & E GoK centage reports Developmen Dev t partners Partners Murang’a County Integrated Development Plan 2013-2017 Page 384 Project Constit Cost Time Monitori Monitorin Impleme Source of Implement Name uency of frame ng g tools nting funds ation Projec indicato agency status t rs Constructio County 2013 Green Tender CGM County On- going n of green wide - House document Government houses 2017 Complet s GoK ion Per Developmen centage Site visit Dev t partners reports, M Partners & E reports Constructio Kiharu 2013 Green Tender CGM County Proposed n of green - House document Government house and 2017 Complet s GoK kitchen ion Per Developmen garden at centage Site visit Dev t partners Murirajas reports, M Partners level 4 & E hospital, reports Kiharu constituency Livestock County 2013 Extensio Site visit CGM County On- going Developme nt Project wide - n reports, M Government 2017 Services & E GoK Provide reports GoK d Dev Partners Developmen t partners Equipping of Marag 2013 Equipm Site visit CGM County Proposed 2 milk cooling wa - ent reports, M Government plants 2017 Installed & E GoK Makuyu and reports Developmen Dev t partners Maragwa Partners ridge Murang’a County Integrated Development Plan 2013-2017 Page 385 Project Constit Cost Time Monitori Monitorin Impleme Source of Implement Name uency of frame ng g tools nting funds ation Projec indicato agency status t rs Revive 5 Marag 2013 No of Site visit CGM County cattle dips in wa, Maragwa, Kigumo - Cattle reports, M Government Kigumo, , 2017 Dips & E GoK Kiharu, Kiharu, reports GoK Gatanga Gatang Dev and lower a and Partners Developmen parts of Kandar Complet t partners Kandara;
