The CIDP has envisaged a green economy by mainstreaming cross-cutting issues such as climate change; environmental degradation; HIV/AIDs; Gender, Youth and Persons with Disability (PWD); Disaster Risk Management (DRM), Ending Drought Emergencies (EDE) among others. The integration of green economy is clearly stipulated in all the T sectors’ programmes, projects and he County Government Act 2012, in initiatives (PPIs). fulfilment of the constitutional requirement to legislate preparation of The overall strategic direction of county plans, details the goals and Kenya stipulated in Vision 2030 which procedures of “County Planning” (Part endeavours to make our Country “a XI of the Act). County planners are globally competitive and prosperous required to prepare 5-year integrated Nation, with a high quality of life for all county development plans (CIDPs). citizens by 2030”. Vision 2030 is The 1st CIDP covered 2013-2017and implemented in 5-year phases called this plan covers 2018-2022. This CIDP Medium Term Plans (MTPs). The is linked to the 17 SDGs and the 1stMTP was implemented between Agenda 2063 of the African Union 2008 and 2012; the 2ndMTP was ‘Africa We Want’ in the way the sector implemented in 2013-2017 and thus PPIs are derived. Furthermore, the we are in MTP III 2018-2022. This calls plan is anchored on the National for development of CIDP 2018-2022 in Spatial Plan 2015–2045 which line with national planning framework. establishes a broad physical planning framework that provides physical Besides the planning frameworks, planning policies to support economic Constitution of Kenya, 2010posited a and sectoral planning. The CIDP has two-tier level of government, national also been prepared in the light of the and county, and new governance Green Economy Strategy and structures. Therefore, this CIDP is in viii line with the constitutional spirit of the county for the next five years devolution which projects the future of (2018/19-2022/23). For effective service delivery to citizens by the counties, various legislations have been passed by the National Assembly including: The National Government Coordination Act (2012), The County Governments Act (2012), the Public Finance Management Act (2012), the Urban Areas and Cities Act (2011), The Intergovernmental Relations Act (2012) and The Transition to Devolved Government Act (2012). In particular, CGA, Part XI, Section 109 (1), the County plans ought to be programme based that forms the basis for budgeting and performance management. Planning is not an end in itself, therefore, we seek to strengthen the departments and other entities by providing financial and human resources to enable them build the capacity to make this plan a reality. In addition, the performance contracts of the county officers and executives will be tied to delivering this plan’s outcomes and outputs as per the target indicators within the specified timelines. In this manner the county government both the Executive and the Assembly is expected to provide harmony and coordination between departments and other entities. Such coordination is expected to minimize resource wastage and build in more efficiency in the achievement of our vision under the county governance framework. For effective implementation, this 2ndCIDP contains clear implementation, monitoring and evaluation framework that translate the strategic thinking into interventions. Any development plan just like a majority of future-looking plans makes certain assumptions which may turn out differently with time. This calls for the county executive to view their plans as ‘live documents’ and review their plans to adapt to the realities of changing environment. Consequently, this CIDP will be updated annually in line with Sectoral Plans and there will be continuous monitoring of PPIs that will demand adjustments to the realities of PPIs implementation. In addition, the CIDP will be evaluated on an annual basis and the county executive will ensure mid- term and end term reviews are carried out. xii The preparation of the CIDP 2018-2022 has been made possible by partnership with USAID-AHADI. The purpose of USAID-AHADI is to support Kenya’s vision and agenda for achieving the promise of devolution. It aims to promote governance systems that are transparent, accountable, effective in service delivery; and responsive to empowered citizens by working at both the national and county government. It is the hope of the county leadership that this CIDPas informed by sectors’ aspirations will inform subsequent ADPs, CFSP and other county policy documents. The preparation of the CIDP has been done through an inclusive and wide-ranging consultative process as evidenced by public participation forums conducted across the 15 Wards that conform to the requirements of the Constitution of Kenya, 2010. Finally, effective implementation of the CIDP calls for support, active participation and cooperation from the State actors, Non-state actors (development partners), the private sector and the community.I take this opportunity to present the Tharaka Nithi CIDP 2018-2022 entitled Transforming Tharaka Nithi: Unlocking the Great Potential!

Eng. Francis Kagwima for steering the preparation of the CIDP process up to its successful completion. Special gratitude is owed to the Department of Finance & Economic Planning, and the Secretariat who followed through the entire process. We would like specifically thank the County Secretary, Dr. Fredrick Kamundi; Head of Treasury, Budget and Expenditure Management, Mr. Lawrence Micheni; and Head of Economic Planning, Mr. Dennis Kwendofor their able leadership and immense contributions in this noble process. Furthermore, we appreciate the partnership with USAID-AHADI. We acknowledge the invaluable support and technical assistance in the preparation of this CIDP from USAID- AHADI comprising of Waceke Wachira (Chief of Party), Angela Kabiru (Head of Governance), Zachary Kaimenyi (Regional Coordinator), Elijah Mujuri (Climate Change Expert) and Paul Kamaku (Lead Consultant). The unveiling of this 2ndCIDP is a clear statement that the County Government has embraced desirable public expenditure management practices in seeking to have a prosperous, industrialized and cohesive county. I know it has been a long journey in preparation of this CIDP but with determination and resilience, all our efforts have not been in vain. Lastly, let me reiterate that the County Government’s leadership is committed to provide the necessary guidance to make the CIDP2018-2022 work for betterment of Tharaka Nithi County. To all that were involved, receive my heartfelt appreciation without forgetting that now the greatest challenge lies in the actual execution of this plan! Ms. DOROTHY I. KINYUA NAIVASHA COUNTY EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEMBER, FINANCE AND ECONOMIC PLANNING THARAKA NITHI COUNTY xv Executive Summary The Fourth Schedule in the Constitution of Kenya, 2010 stipulates the distribution of the fourteen functions of counties among them the county planning and development. As per the Ministry of Devolution and Planning Guidelines for Preparation of County Integrated Development Plans (September, 2017), the county planning should be integrated across sectors, green economy, blue economy and considerations of various actors. More so, the CIDP should promote the Kenya Vision 2030 aspiration of making Kenya a globally competitive and prosperous Nation, with a high quality of life for all citizens by 2030. Besides the Vision 2030, the plan should be aligned to the SDGs and the Africa Agenda 2063. Cognizance of this, Tharaka Nithi County Government has developed its 2ndCIDP 2018-2022. This is the County’s blueprint that reflects the broader picture and priorities to achieve desirable outcomes in a way that demonstrates improvement in the quality of life for the citizensand accelerate the service delivery in all sectors. The CIDP clearly depicts the county vision which is ‘A Prosperous, Industrialized and Cohesive County’achieved through the mission whereby the county will enhance sustainable socio-economic growth and optimal utilization of resources. The focus for the CIDP is anchored on theme as clearly derived from the Governor’s manifesto ‘Transforming Tharaka Nithi: Unlocking the Great Potential.’ The County actors have deeply-held commitments and shared understanding that inform every policy and programme and steer every action summarized as ICT2: Integrity, Inclusiveness, Citizen-focussed, Creativity & Innovativeness, Transparency & Accountability and Teamwork. Chapter one is thecounty general information which aims at giving a brief overview of the county, situation analysis and resource endowment. It consists of 25 components ranging from county’s position and size to social protection. The overview looked into how accurate, current and adequate is the county-wide background data. Chapter two is thelinkages with Vision 2030 and other plans that depicts both upward and downward linkages. The CIDP upward linkages is alignment with SDGs, Agenda 2063, Vision 2030 and Sectoral Plans. Specifically, for alignment with SDGs, respective county sectors have identifiedSDGs relevant to their mandate and integratedin the sector programmes and projects. For Vision 2030 and its Medium Term Plans, this CIDP have considered National programmes and projects in the County, Flagship projects of Vision 2030 in the County. On the other hand, the downward linkages should be what informs ADPs and CFSP among other county plans. Besides the linkages, thechapter looks into cross-cutting programmes, projects and initiatives involving the County and neighbouring counties. xvi A review of the implementation of the previous CIDP which is contained in Chapter three was carried out across all sectors that even involved the public participation to ascertain the impact of the PPIs. The review included a summary of key achievements versus planned targets focusing on both outputs and outcomes; the challenges encountered during the implementation of the first CIDP and the recommendations. To ascertain the utilization of county resources, an analysis of the county revenue streams (equitable share, conditional grants and local revenue) and the county expenditure analysis by sector/ subsector (budgeted versus actual). Chapter four is county development priorities and strategieswhich discusses theassessment of natural resources within the county and the spatial development framework. With absence of County Spatial Plan, this CIDP looks into the spatial development strategies by thematic areas across all sectors. Furthermore, this section entails the specific development needs, priorities and strategies that informs the programmes. The programmes are anchored on sectors/ sub-sectors which have a vision, mission and goal. The programmes, flagship projects and specific projects (in Annex) identified envisages a green economy by mainstreaming cross-cutting issues such as climate change; Environmental degradation; HIV/AIDs; Gender, Youth and Persons with Disability (PWD); Disaster Risk Management (DRM), Ending Drought Emergencies (EDE) among others. Chapter five entails the implementation framework that depict the institutions responsible for the execution of the plan, both human and financial resource requirements; and resource mobilization.The institutional framework clearly shows the linkages with other stakeholders such as the National Government, the Civil Society, Development Partners and other actors. Each sector financial resources requirement is expressed as a percentage (%) of the overall county total budget and the revenue projections for the 5 years. This plan captures the resource gap and measures on how to address the resource gap. Finally, the last chapter is the monitoring and evaluation framework that is informed by the Guidelines for Preparation of County Integrated Monitoring and Evaluation System (CIMES). It looks into the data collection, analysis, reporting, dissemination and citizen engagement. More so, the framework looks into the outcome indicatorsand targets by sector. Eventually, this will allow implementers, decision- makers and various actors in the county to assess progress towards the diverse county development priorities. xvii Picture 1: Nithi Bridge County General Information 1 1.0 County Overview Tharaka-Nithi County is one of the forty-seven (47) counties in Kenya created by the Constitution of Kenya, 2010. It is located in Kenya’s former Eastern Province and a home to the Chuka, Muthambi, Mwimbi and Tharaka people of the larger Ameru (Amiiru) community. The minority being Akamba, Ambeere and Aembu; all from the neighbouring counties. The people are predominantly Christian with vast majority belonging to the Catholics, Presbyterian and Methodists denominations. Tharaka Nithi was created after Meru District “Greater Meru” was broken up in 1992 into four districts namely: Meru Central, Meru North, Meru South (Nithi) and Tharaka with later two being combined as one to form Tharaka-Nithi District. The headquarters of the County is at Kathwana, a site selected for its centrality through consensus by delegates being an intersection of three constituencies (Maara, Tharaka and Chuka/Igamba-ng’ombe). Kathwana is along the Mate Road Ena and Ishiara en route to Tunyai, Nkubu and Meru. The major economic activities include tea and coffee planting, subsistence crop farming, subsistence dairy farming and keeping of other livestock such as goats and sheep. In order to boost trade within and outside the county, Tharaka Nithi like other surrounding counties has joined in formation of Mount Kenya Trading and Economic bloc that will oversee harmonization of tariffs and taxes to boost trade and improve ease of doing business in the region. There is focused to developing strong ties with surrounding counties especially where they natural resources including Mt. Kenya, Tana River and Meru National Park to maximize benefits derived from these resources. 1.1 Position and Size Tharaka Nithi County borders the counties of Embu to the South and South West, Meru to the North and North East, Kitui to the East and South East while sharing Mount Kenya with Kirinyiga and Nyeri to the West. The county lies between latitude 000 07’ and 000 26’ South and between longitudes 370 19’ and 370 46’ East. The total area of the County is 2,662.1 Km2; including 360Km2 of Mt Kenya forest in the county. Figure 1 shows the location of Tharaka Nithi County within the map of Kenya. 2 Figure 1:Location of the County in Kenya 3 1.2 Physiographic and Natural Conditions 1.2.1 Physical and Topographic features The highest altitude of the county is 5,200m in Chuka/Igambang’ombe and Maara while the lowest is 600m Eastwards in Tharaka. The main physical feature of the county is the 360 Km2 of Mt. Kenya forest distributed between Maara and Chuka/Igambang’ombe constituencies. The forest serves as a tourist attraction, catchment area for Tana River, a source of fuel wood, fodder and honey for the communities living around it. Major hills found in the county landscape include Kiera, Munuguni and Njuguni in Maara constituency and Kijege and Ntugi in Tharaka constituency. The hilly terrain of the County leads to soil erosion hence environment degradation. The terrain also makes construction and maintenance of road networks costly. The topography of Chuka/Igambang’ombe and Maara constituencies is greatly influenced by the Mt. Kenya volcanic activity creating ‘V’ shaped valleys within which the main tributaries of River Tana flow originating from Mt. Kenya forest. The tributaries flowing eastwards are: Thuci, Mara, Nithi, Mutonga, Naka, and Ruguti. Tharaka on the other hand is traversed by several rivers, which originate from both the Mt. Kenya and Nyambene Hills, flowing eastwards as tributaries of Tana River. These include Mutonga, Thingithu, Kathita, Thanantu, Thangatha, Kithinu and Ura rivers which provide water for irrigation in the moderately densely populated locations in parts of Tharaka. The region comprises of low, hilly, stony and sandy marginal lowlands with moderate forest cover. 1.2.2 Ecological Conditions The County has two main ecological zones. The highlands (upper zone) comprise of Maara and Chuka which receive adequate rainfall for agriculture. The semi-arid (lower zone) covers Tharaka and receives less rainfall suitable for livestock production. Poor methods of farming and soil conservation, charcoal burning and overgrazing have left the earth bare and rocky.The sloping areas have experienced uncontrolled soil erosion, which has resulted in deep gullies across the landscape especially in Tharaka. The drainage pattern consists of rivers and streams that ultimately drain into the Indian Ocean through Tana River. 4 1.2.3 Climatic Conditions Temperatures in the highland areas range between 140C to 300C while those of the lowland area range between 220C to 360C. Tharaka constituency, which lies in the lower side, experiences temperatures of up to 40oC at certain periods. The county has a bi- modal rainfall pattern with the long rains falling during the months of April to June and the short rains in October to December. The rainfall ranges from 2,200mm in Chogoria forest to 500mm in Tharaka. The high altitude areas experience reliable rainfall while middle areas of the county receive moderate rainfall. The lower regions receive low, unreliable and poorly distributed rainfall. The climate of the county is favourable for cultivation of tea, coffee, maize, cowpeas, pigeon peas, sorghum, millet, green grams, tobacco and a variety of other food crops. However, there are unusual climate variability incidences arising from climatic change. 1.3 Administrative and Political Units 1.3.1 Administrative Subdivision The County is divided into five(5) administrative sub-countiesnamely Tharaka North, Tharaka South, Chuka, Igambango’mbe and Maara. Tharaka NorthSub-county is the largest covering an area of 803.4 Km2, followed by Tharaka Southwith746.1 Km2; Maara is third in size with an area of 465.3Km2and Chuka fourth is with 316Km2 and Igambango’mbeis the smallest covering an area of 308Km2. The total area for Chuka and Maara sub-counties includes 179Km2 and 184Km2of Mt. Kenya forest respectively. There are 15 wards, fifty three (53) locations and one hundred and thirty four (134) sub-locations. Figure 2 shows the County’s administrative and Political units and table 1 shows the total area by sub-counties, wards, locations andsub-locations. 5 Figure 2: County’s Administrative and Political Units Table 1: Area by Sub-county and Ward Sub County Area (km2) No. of Wards No. of Locations No. of Sub-Locations Tharaka North 803.4 2 7 13 Tharaka South 746.1 3 14 33 Chuka 316 3 11 27 Igambango’mbe 308 2 7 18 Maara 465.3 5 14 43 2,638.8 15 53 134 6 1.4 Political Units (Constituencies and Wards) There are three constituencies in the county namely; Tharaka, Chuka/Igambang’ombe and Maara.

The county had a total population of 365,330 as per the 2009 population and housing census. This is projected to be 428,959 in 2018 (209,531 males and 219,427 Females), 444,540 in 2020 (217,142 Males and 227,398 Females), and 460,688 by 2022 (225,030 Males and 235,658 Females).The county’s annual population growth rate is 1.8%.Table 3 shows the population projection by selected age and sex with 2009 as the base year and projections for start of the plan period (2018), mid-term (2020) and end-term (2022) plan period. 7 Table 3:Population Projections by Age Cohort Age 2009 (Census) 2018 (Projections) 2020(Projections) 2022 (Projections) Cohort Male Female Total Male Female Total Male Female Total Male Female Total 0-4 25279 24732 50011 29682 29040 58721 30760 30094 60854 31877 31187 63065 5-9 24120 24029 48149 28321 28214 56535 29350 29239 58589 30416 30301 60717 10-14 22561 22265 44826 26490 26143 52633 27453 27092 54545 28450 28077 56526 15-19 18782 18413 37195 22053 21620 43673 22854 22405 45260 23684 23219 46904 20-24 14872 16804 31676 17462 19731 37193 18097 20447 38544 18754 21190 39944 25-29 13032 15510 28542 15302 18211 33513 15858 18873 34730 16434 19558 35992 30-34 11745 12903 24648 13791 15150 28941 14292 15701 29992 14811 16271 31082 35-39 9992 10736 20728 11732 12606 24338 12158 13064 25222 12600 13538 26138 40-44 7429 7674 15103 8723 9011 17733 9040 9338 18378 9368 9677 19045 45-49 7299 7894 15193 8570 9269 17839 8882 9606 18487 9204 9954 19159 50-54 5835 6079 11914 6851 7138 13989 7100 7397 14497 7358 7666 15024 55-59 4799 4851 9650 5635 5696 11331 5840 5903 11742 6052 6117 12169 60-64 3929 4309 8238 4613 5059 9673 4781 5243 10024 4955 5434 10388 65-69 2501 2812 5313 2937 3302 6238 3043 3422 6465 3154 3546 6700 70-74 2135 2506 4641 2507 2942 5449 2598 3049 5647 2692 3160 5852 75-79 1517 1682 3199 1781 1975 3756 1846 2047 3893 1913 2121 4034 80+ 2509 3607 6116 2946 4235 7181 3053 4389 7442 3164 4548 7712 Age NS 115 73 188 135 86 221 140 89 229 145 92 237 TOTAL 178451 186879 365330 209531 219427 428959 217142 227398 444540 225030 235658 460688 Source: KNBS, Population and Housing Census, 2009 In 2009, the population below 15 years comprised of 39 % whereas the youth of 15–29 years was 26.7 % of the total population. About 72.5 % of the population is below 35 years meaning that the youth were the majority of the population. According to 2009 Census, the total number of people in the county in the workforce is 202,887 representing 55.5 % of the total population. The number of people employed in different sectors in the county was 62,785 meaning that only 53.7 % had secured employment. This implies that a very small proportion of the working population are gainfully employed. In order to support the dependent population, basic interventions in the social sectors of health, education and nutrition need to be implemented to create more employment opportunities especially for the youth. The female/male sex ratio for the county is 95:100 which conforms to that of national level. Segregation of population according to 8 the age groups is important in determining the numbers of the different groups in order to determine the necessary policies to address their needs. Table 4 gives a summary of the population of the county by selected age groups and sex.

This calls for special interventions in order to significantly reduce the high infant mortality rate (IMR) which presently stands at 54 deaths per thousand. Efforts need to be put in place to increase child health care services such as immunization programmes and to enhance maternal health care. Under 5 years: The population under 5 years are children in need of special care and also includes children in pre-primary education. In 2018, this population is projected to be 58,721 and is expected to increase to 63,065 by year 2022 which represents a 6.9 percent increase over the plan period. This category is entirely dependent on parents and a large amount of the family resources is spent on meeting their basic needs. The under five mortality Rate (UFMR) for the county isunacceptably high at 63.7 deaths per 1000. The plight of the group requires urgent redress. Special programmes to address health and welfare issues affecting them must be initiated to effectively and significantly reduce the high mortality rate. 9 6-13 years (Primary): This age group is the Primary School going population. In 2018, this population is projected to be86,999 and is expected to increase to 93434 towards the end of 2022 representing a 7.4% increase over the plan period. Therefore there is need to expand learning facilities at the existing primary schools as well as construct new schools to cater for the expected increase of the student population. The county has 18 village polytechnics. This number should be increased in order to cater for pupils who do not proceed to high schools after completion of primary education. The existing polytechnics should also be expanded and equipped with the necessary facilities in order to offer quality technical skills. 14-17 years (Secondary): This is the Secondary School age group. The population projection based on 2009 census indicates that this population cohort will be37388 in 2018. This will gradually increase to about 40,153 by 2022 representing a 7.4% increase over the plan period. The recent Government policy on subsidised secondary education is expected to result to increased enrolment rate. Expansion of physical infrastructure to cater for the increase and improvement of staffing levels will be necessary. In addition, establishment of tertiary institutions offering professional courses will help in improving absorption rates and enhance human resource and skills development in the county. 15-29 years (Youth): In 2018 the youth population is estimated to be 114,379 and is expected to rise to 122,839 by the end of 2022 representing a 7.4% increase over the plan period. This age bracket form 14.8 % of the total population and fall within the dependent age group who are still in school/colleges and is economically dependent. This places a heavy burden on the economically active population that contributes to the economic development and at the same time provides basic needs to the households. The youth category has high potential for productivity and is most at risk and vulnerable. The county needs to direct more resources to provide adequate homecraft centres and vocational training centres and invest in special programmes to create employment opportunities. 10 15-49 years (Reproductive Age): The columns representing females in Table 3b indicates a population of 89, 934 according to the 2009 census. This female population is projected to increase to 105598 by end of the 2018 and 113,408 by the year 2022 which represents a 7.4% increase over the plan period. The fertility rate is 3.4 against 3.9 for national. The increase in the female reproductive age group requires efforts to be made in the expansion of existing facilities associated with maternal health, child health care and address cultural issues which hinder men from utilizing reproductive health and other related services. Female genital mutilation is still practiced in some areas and long distances to health facilities compound reproductive health issues. There is also need for education and sensitization programmes to impact knowledge on the importance of family planning to both males and females. 15-64 years (Labour Force): This is the most productive group in the county. The 2009 Census put the group population at 202,887 people comprising of 97,714 (51.8%) and 105,173(47.2%) males and females respectively. This labour force is projected to increase to 238,223 in the year 2018 and 255,844 by the year 2022. A large proportion of the labour force is either unskilled or semi–skilled and is mainly engaged in agricultural activities. This calls for more investments in the county to achieve job creation opportunities. The main challenges for this group include unemployment, underemployment, low education levels, and the HIV/AIDS pandemic. Agriculture and livestock sub-sectors have high potential for income generation to households in this age group. 65+ years (Aged Population): The above 64 years category is mainly composed of the aged with a large proportion being dependent on the working population. The 2009 census estimates put the population at 19,457 which was 5.33 % of the total population with 10,680 females and 8,777 males. This population is expected to increase to 22846 in 2018 and 24,536 by 2022 representing 7.4% increase over the plan period. Poverty alleviation programmes should aim at providing subsidies and healthcare programmes for the aged population and their dependants. 11 Table 5:Population Projection by Urban Centre Urban 2009 (Census) 2018 (Project ions) 2020(Project ions) 2022(Project ions) Cent res M ale Female Total M ale Female Total M ale Female Total M ale Female Total Chuka 21,266 22,204 43,470 25,006 26,109 51,115 25,922 27,066 52,988 26,873 28,058 54,931 Chogoria 15,850 15,773 31,623 18,637 18,547 37,184 19,321 19,227 38,547 20,029 19,931 39,960 M arimant i 4,196 4,339 8,535 4,934 5,102 10,036 5,115 5,289 10,404 5,302 5,483 10,785 Total 41,312 42,316 83,628 48,577 49,758 98,335 50,358 51,582 101,939 52,204 53,472 105,676 Source: KNBS, Population and Housing Census, Vol. 1A. 2009 Chuka town in Meru South is the largest with a projected population of 51,115 residents in 2018 while Chogoria town in Maara has a projected population of 37,184 in 2018. Marimanti is the only urban centre in Tharakawith a projected population of 10,036 in 2018, and is expected to increase to 10,785 by 2022. All towns serve as Sub County headquarters and this has immensely contributed to their fast growth. Kathwana market centre has been selected as the County headquarters and is expected to grow fast in the coming years. These towns are expected to attract more migrants in search of employment and business opportunities. This will increase pressure on social amenities and other facilities in future. 1.5.2 Population Density and Distribution Population density is largely influenced by the climatic and ecological factors. Areas with good climatic condition and fertile soils will generally have dense populations. The average population density of the County is 150 persons per Km2. Table 6 shows population densities of the three constituencies in the county.

As per the 2018 projections, Maara constituency remains to be the 12 most densely populated. The population distribution can also be shown by indicating the composition of the different sexes in the three constituencies. Population composition according to the different sexes helps to determine the sex ratio. Tables7and 8 below show the population distribution by constituency and the population projections.

These factors are measured using the following indicators: Life expectancy at birth; adult literacy rate and the combined enrolment ratio at primary, and secondary and tertiary levels; and GDP per capita measured in purchasing power. Table 10 illustrate the data collected for key indicators at the national and county levels. Table 10:Human Development Indexat National and County Levels Life Expectancy Adult Literacy School Enrolment GDP (%) HDI (%) (yrs) (%) (%) National 56.6 71.4 70.5 0.4447 0.5608 County 63.7 69.75 78.1 0.3882 0.5533 Source: KNBS, Population and Housing Census, 2009 Life expectancy for the county is 63.7 years compared to 56.6 years at the national level. The county literacy rate stands at 69.75% and the enrolment rate at 78.1% compared to the national rates at 71.4 and 70.5% respectively. The HDI for Tharaka Nithi County mean score index is approximately 0.5533 compared with the national index at 0.5608.An analysis poverty incidence by wards as depicted in table 11 below indicates that poverty incidence ranges between 0 per cent and 85 per cent with Ganga and Mitheru wards having the least poverty incidence of less than 15 per cent while Gatunga has the highest of between 21-31 per cent. 14 Table 11:Poverty incidence by wards Wards Poverty incidence (%) Poverty gap (%) Ganga <15 3-4 Chogoria 16-29 5-7 Mwimbi 16-29 5-7 Muthambi <15 5-7 Mitheru 16-29 3-4 Karingani 16-29 8-12 Magumoni <15 5-7 Mugwe 30-43 5-7 Mariani 30-43 8-12 Igambangome 44-57 8-12 Chiakariga 58-71 13-20 Marimanti 58-71 13-20 Nkondi 44-57 8-12 Mukothima 58-71 13-20 Gatunga 72-85 21-31 1.7 Infrastructure Development 1.7.1 Roads, Rail Network, Ports and Jetties, Airports and Airstrips Infrastructure plays a major role in development as they open up the area for other activities and links the county with other counties. The county has a total road network of 1670Km of which 630Km is classified network, and 1040 is unclassified network.The county has only 61Km of bitumen road.These include the 32Km of road B6 alongThuchi- Nkubu road from Kathageri-Chuka-Chogoria to Keria, 18 Km along Ishiara-Kathwana- Chiakariga (Mate road), Five (5) Km on E789 (Chiakariga-Marimanti), 4.8Km on D474 (Chogoria-Maara), and 1.2 on D471 (Kibugua).National Government is in process of upgrading Chuka-Kareni Road and Chiakariga-Marimanti-Ura Gate road to bitumen standards .Gravel surface covers 36.4Km while the rest is earth surface. The other roads consist of a maintainable road network covering 808Km in Tharaka and 402Km in Maara and Chuka/Igambang’ombe Sub County’s. There are no Ports and Jetties, Airports, Airstrips or Rail Network in the county. 1.7.2 Information, Communication Technology Information communication technology consists of post offices, mobile telephony, landline, fibre optic cables, radio and television and Huduma centres. The County generally has good mobile phone coverage with Safaricom, Equitel, Airteland Telkom networks available. Some areas especially in Tharaka constituency have poor mobile network coverage because of the hilly terrain. It is estimated that over 70% of the 15 population own mobile phones. Internet connectivity is mainly available in urban centers. However a higher population is estimated to have access to internet through mobile phones. County Headquarter is installed with WAN and LAN, and sub county offices are installed with WAN. There is also an operational county website, (www.tharakanithi.go.ke). Fibre connection is extended from Chuka town to Kathwana (County HQ) through a wireless connection. There is an ICT learning institution in the county, that is, Chuka University which boosts ICT skills and knowledge. There is one Huduma centre situated in Chuka town where residents get national and county services. Mobile telephones have enabled people to exercise flexibility in communication and this has led to stalled growth of landline connections and post office services .We have over ten licensed private courier services, among them Wells Fargo, G4S and a number of public service vehicle couriers such as Unique Shuttle, Mark One Shuttle, KenSilver Bus Service, Meru Nissan Shuttle and Neno Shuttle. There are several cybers in the county that help in internet services. Majority of community members rely on radio as the major source of information, where there are over three vernacular radio stations which are most listened to, while television and newspapers are used mainly in the urban areas 1.7.3 Energy Access According to the Kenya National Bureau of Statistics (KNBS), 2013 Report, the main sources of energy in the county are firewood, paraffin, charcoal and solar. There is an increase in usage of electricity especially by health and education institutions. For the institutions that do not have access to electricity, some use solar energy. The rural electrification program by the National Government has been implemented in many trading centres and homes in the county. Investment in alternative renewable energy sources will enhance reliability of power supply. From the KNBS Report, on energyand lighting; just 1% of residents in Tharaka Nithi County use liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), and 2% use paraffin; 89% use firewood and 16 8% use charcoal. Firewood is the most common cooking fuel. Only 8% of residents in Tharaka Nithi County use electricity as their main source of lighting but based on the current situation, the statistics have gone up and consequently, use of lanterns, tin lamps and wood fuel has decreased. In Tharaka Nithi County there are about 1,408 public facilities out of which 1,018 (72%) public facilities are electrified; leaving a balance of 390 (28%) public facilities yet to get electricity. 1.7.4 Housing The Universal Declaration of Human Rights of 1948 recognizes the right to adequate housing as an important component of the right to adequate standard of living.In Tharaka Nithi County, 33% of residents have homes with cement floors, while 66% have earth floors. Less than 1% has wood floors and more than 1% has tiles according to KNBS 2013 Report. Most houses in rural areas are mud-walled or wooden with earth or cement floors. In urban centres houses are mainly made of stones with corrugated iron sheets for roofing. The level of housing in the market centres and the main urban areas has recently improved owing to increased institutional developments, administrative areas and increased level of business. The growth of tertiary institutions has also contributed to the demand for decent housing to accommodate the high number of students, lecturers and other staff. The readily availability of sand, hard-core and other building materials especially in Tharaka and Igambang’ombe areas make the cost of construction relatively low. 1.8 Land and Land Use 1.8.1 Land ownership categories/ classification There are three main land ownership categories within the county. These are; 1) Private 2) Public 3) Community 1.8.1.1 Private Land 17 This refers to land that is held in freehold or leasehold tenure. This is as articulated in Article 64 of the Constitution of Kenya 2010. a) Freehold This is the most common tenure of land within the county and translates to more than 85% of all the registered land within the county. This is land mostly put into agricultural use. b) Leasehold This type of tenure is mostly found in urban areas within the county. It is restricted to areas that were left for towns and trading centres. This accounts for less than 5% of the land within the registered areas. 1.8.1.2 Public Land This category refers to land that is put into public purpose and utility use. It’s identified as areas where the use is for common public interest as articulated in Article 62 of the Constitution of Kenya 2010.The County has an estimated 5% of registered land set aside as public land. 1.8.1.3 Community Land This category relates to land that is held by community groups or by communities for public interests as enshrined in Article 63 of the Constitution of Kenya 2010. This accounts for quite a small fraction of land within the registered areas and is also found mainly in un-adjudicated areas of the County. 1.8.2 Mean Holding Size The major land use in the county is mainly agricultural activities. Other uses include residential, commercial, industrial, recreational, educational, public purpose and public utility, and forest conservation. A majority of the county residents are small scale farmers with an average of 2.9 hectares mostly used for food and cash crop farming. Large scale farmers own an average of 6.7 hectares. The mean holding size in the county therefore is 4.8 hectares. 18 1.8.3 Percentage of Land with Title Deeds The total number of registered parcels from both the adjudication process and subdivisions and title deeds issued in the entire county are 127,533 (Source, County Land Registrar- November 2017). Seventy percent (70 % )of land in the lower part of the county,Tharaka constituency and Igambang’ombe Ward of Chuka/Igambang’ombe constituency, is adjudicated . The remaining 30 % of the land is still being adjudicated by the National Government. A third of residents in these areas are yet to receive title deeds with only 62.1% of the land owners having title deeds. The upper part of the county which lies in Chuka/Igambang’ombe and Maara constituencies has 75% of land successfully adjudicated. The main problem of the adjudication process is low funding. 1.8.4 Incidence of Landlessness This mainly refers to residents who lack legal land ownership documents on the land they occupy or utilise within the county. The slow adjudication of land, boundary disputes and conflict over grazing land has a source of uncertainty of land ownership rights. The squatter problem is a major challenge which has been a major source of conflict with neighbouring communities. Many people wait for several years to get legal ownership documents for their property. A number of Chuka residents live without proper housing due to poor urban planning and management. Chuka town has one major informal settlement confined to one areareferred to as “Moi Girls” which falls on freehold Land. 1.9 Employment and Other Sources of Income 1.9.1Wage Earners The number of people on wage employment is estimated to be 9,188. Wage employment contributes approximately 10% of the total household income. These are people working for the public institutions and private organizations such as county government, schools, hospitals, financial institutions, PBOs and retail shops. 1.9.2 Self Employed A huge percentage of the county population is self-employed with several established businesses in the town centres. Majority of the people in the rural areas engage in livestock and crop farming, private businesses and other forms of income generating 19 activities. In the county’s urban centres mobile phone banking is on the rise and therefore such businesses are on the rise. The productivity level of tea, coffee, bananas, beans and maize is high in the upper zone of the county while the productivity of green grams, millet, sorghum and peas is high in the lower zone of the county. The County has a lot of untapped potential in economic activities such as trade and tourism. Notably, wholesale and retail trade are predominant economic engagement both in the urban and village centres. With the advent of youth and women fund at the county, people have been in the forefront in coming up with proposals in order to access capital to initiate trade activities. However, a majority of new entrepreneurs lack the required skills to undertake business ventures. 1.9.3 Labour Force According to the 2009 census, Tharaka Nithi County has 202,887 (55.5%) people in the labour force category. A majority of these people are concentrated in the urban areas. Most people work in government offices, businesses and farming. However, some of these people are unemployed, underemployed or in wrong careers. More so, the 2009 population and housing census covered work for pay by level of education. The key variables include: family business, family agricultural holdings, intern/volunteer, retired/homemaker, fulltime student, incapacitated and no work are tabulated and presented in table 12below: Table 12:Overall Employment by Education Levels in Tharaka Nithi County Education Work Family Family Intern/ Retired/ Fulltime Incapacitated No Number of Level for Business Agricultural Volunteer Homemaker Student work Individuals pay Holding Total 18.2 10.7 48.7 0.7 6.7 11.5 0.5 3.0 202,887 None 12.7 10.0 60.7 1.8 8.5 0.5 2.1 3.9 15,512 Primary 15.1 10.7 55.1 0.5 6.9 8.6 0.4 2.7 118,084 Secondary 25.0 10.9 34.6 0.8 5.8 19.3 0.2 3.4 66,839 1.9.4 Under Employment and Unemployment Levels According to 2009 census, the county’s unemployment rate is 63%. On the under employment, that is, a situation in which a worker is employed, but not in the desired capacity, whether in terms of compensation, hours, or level of skill and experience; the level is 7.8% (Kenya Economic Report 2013 by KIPPRA). A majority of this group are 20 youth who have completed their education but unable to access employment. Most of these young people abuse alcohol and other drugs. As a result, there is high insecurity in the county. The young people should be sensitized on available resources in the county offered by the government. These government initiatives include the Youth-Women Revolving Loan Funds and other small and micro enterprises funds. Such funds would give them capital to start income generating activities. 1.10 Irrigation infrastructure and schemes 1.10.1 Irrigation potential The county has a high irrigation potential. There is a high demand for irrigation water due to unreliable rains hence efforts to increase the irrigation water supply for the irrigation schemes. 1.10.2 Irrigation schemes (small/ large scale) The major irrigation schemes in the county include Muringa Banana,Kibung’a- Kakimiki,Kiaga,Nguuru Gakirwe,Turima Tweru,Rwatha Karethani, Kithigiri- Kamantungu,Mbogoni, Jasho Igamatundu and Mugummango among others. 1.11 Crop, Livestock, Fish Production and Value addition 1.11.1 Main Crops Produced The main occupation of the people in the county is agriculture, which include crop and livestock production. The main food crops include; maize, beans, cowpeas, sorghum, green grams, millet, pigeon peas, and bananas. The cash crops include tea and coffee grown mainly in Maara and Chuka/Igambang’ombe constituencies. However, farmers from Tharaka grow green grams and sorghum as a food and cash crop. 1.11.2 Acreage under Food Crops and Cash Crops An estimated 80% of the county population is engaged in agricultural activities. Approximately 43,799 hectares is under food crops while cash crops cover 14,839 hectares. Crop farming is mainly rainfall dependent and is therefore characterized by frequent crop failures especially in Tharaka areas. Improved infrastructural support service is required to increase agricultural output. Access to high yielding drought tolerant crops and the provision of subsidized agricultural inputs can enhance productivity in the agricultural sector. 21 Picture2: A Tea Farm in Chuka, Tharaka Nithi County 1.11.3 Average Farm Sizes The average size of small-scale farms is 2.9 ha and 6.7 ha for large-scale farms. Maximum utilization of natural resources available in the county, use of modern technologies and innovations will ensure higher crop yields for the county. 1.11.4 Main Storage Facilities The county experiences post-harvest losses up to 30% due to poor storage facilities and post-harvest handling, for cereals and legumes, the losses are higher for horticulture produce. This leads to loss of income occasioned by the post-harvest losses and also sales at low prices due to lack of adequate storage facilities.The main storage facilities are traditional granaries, farmhouses and market stalls. It is important to capacity build farmers on how to establish and maintain proper storage facilities. The traditional granaries at the community level need to be improved as well as investing more in community grain stores. However, with combined effort of both National and County government modern storage facilities have been established at Mitheru and Mukuuni while two others are being proposed at Marimanti and Mukothima. This will boost cereals and grain handling thus significantly reducing post-harvest loses. Horticulture is highly perishable. To 22 promote productivity by avoiding post-harvest losses, there is need to invest in a modern cooling facility along the horticulture priority value chains. 1.11.5 Agricultural extension, training, research and information services There is no available training Institution within Tharaka Nithi. The county depends on Kaguru Agricultural Training Centre based at Nkubu, Meru County. There is need to develop one ATC within the County. 1.11.6Main Livestock Breeds and Facilities Livestock keeping is one of the main sources of livelihood for the residents of Tharaka Nithi County. The main livestock in the county include cattle, sheep, goats, pigs, poultry, rabbits and beekeeping. Cattle breeds kept include Friesian, Guernsey, Ayrshire, Jersey and their crosses while borans, sahiwal, zebus and crosses are kept in the lower areas.Milk marketing is a major income earner for the Tharaka Nithi residents especially Chuka/Igambang’ombe and Maara. The County is a major producer of dairy goats and dairy goat milk where Toggenburg dairy goats and their crosses are kept. Meat goats kept include the Galla goats and other indigenous breeds. Poultry kept include chicken- both exotic and indigenous, ducks, turkeys, geese, quails and doves. Keeping of improved indigenous chicken breeds such as kuroiler, rainbow rooster and Kenbro has been on the increase. Other animals kept in the county include pets (dogs and cats) and donkeys. Value addition on livestock products and improved access to improved breeding stocks is crucial for farmers to reap maximum benefit from livestock enterprises. 1.11.7Ranching Though there are no ranches in the County, the Marimanti sheep and goats’ station serves as a breeding station for Galla goats. 1.11.8 Apiculture (bee keeping) The Mount Kenya forest, wide rangelands and vegetation cover is suitable for honey production, which is mainly marketed locally in raw form though there is little refining value addition. The construction of the honey refineries within the County will improve access to markets and value addition. 23 1.12 Oil and Other Mineral Resources 1.12.1 Mineral and Oil potential Although no detailed mineral exploitation has been conducted in the county, there is a bit of small scale mining activities going on that include: key minerals being Gemstones (Beryl aquamarine, Corundum sapphire, Corundum garnet); industrial minerals (Iron deposit, Copper ore, Felspar, Quartz); and common minerals (Sand, Building stones, Ballast rocks). It is worth noting that sand and building bricks are the most common minerals being exploited. 1.12.2 On-Going Mining and Extraction Activities In Tharaka constituency, sand harvesting is over exploited although traditional methods of harvesting are used. Extreme exploitation of this resource has led to serious environmental degradation with serious threats to soil erosion. There is need to carrying out an environmental impact assessment before exploitation of the available resources. Mining of building bricks and ballast also needs to be well regulated. The exploration of iron ore is on-going and this is expected to bring fortunes to the county. In the recent years, mining of iron ore has been undertaken on a small scale by prospectors. Though this has not been exploited, an iron belt exists in the county and exploration should be undertaken to establish its usefulness. The exploitation of building stone (quarry at Kamutiria in Igambang’ombe) is on-going. 1.13 Tourism and Wildlife 1.13.1 Main Tourist Attractions and Activities The tourism sub-sector has a great tourist infrastructure potential and provides a large resource base for the County. The County has features that promote tourism including mountains, hills (Kijege hills and Gikingo hills among others), water falls (along Nithi, Thuci, Maara, Kathita, Thanantu and Tana Rivers), and expansive landscapes, variety of wildlife, diverse culture and agro-tourism. The main attractions include expansive landscape of great scenic beauty, rich botanic, wildlife diversity and mountain climbing, cultural sites and the Tana River Basin. 24 Major activities include trekking, cultural exchange visits, film production and site seeingon the magnificent scenery of Mt. Kenya, Meru National park and several waterfalls. Mountain climbing and water sport tourism takes place in Tana River basin. Other recreational facilities are available in Chuka, Chogoria and Marimanti. 1.13.2 Classified / Major Hotels Kinondoni Sales Service Lodge located in Chogoria is the only County-owned hotel. It is situated near Mt. Kenya forest and has a bed capacity of 40. Other Hotels include Transit Motel, Legacy Hotel, Baobab Hotel, Godka Hotel, Hillside, Orient, lizlo, Kilimo Talii, Homelodge, Five in one, Comfort inn, Riverside, Belan, Snow peak, Runda - Mukothima, Sammerton with bed capacities below 100 pax. Other hotels are also coming up in the county. The county has got one eco-lodge: Kajuki eco-lodge. More hotels need to be established to meet the increasing number of tourists visiting the area. 1.13.3 Main Wildlife Wild animals are found in Mt. Kenya and other small forests in the county. Some of the major wildlife found in the county include: elephants, hyraxes, mongoose, duiker, mole rat, bushbucks, water bucks, elands, buffalos, leopard, bongo, hyenas, over 150 species of birds and over 50 species of reptiles. There are instances of human wildlife conflicts especially during the dry season when human/wildlife move in search of pasture and water. Monkeys and elephants destroy crops in farms leading to heavy losses to farmers. Leopards and hyenas eat livestock and in some instances, human life has been lost. Although KWS has been compensating farmers, the compensation is too little or sometimes comes when it is too late. In other instances the communities are not aware of the compensation policy. 1.13.4 Wildlife Conservation Areas Mt. Kenya is the main tourist attraction in the county which comprises of Mt Kenya National Park and forest reserve that is partly in the county. The County borders Meru National Park, which provides high potential of tourism activities yet little tourist activities take place in the adjacent areas. The park can be accessed through Ura gate which is the shortest route to Meru National Park. 25 1.13.5 Total Number of Tourists Visiting Attraction Sites Annually The total visitation to Kinondoni Lodge is approximately 500 tourists annually. 1.14 Industry and Trade 1.14.1 Markets There are 4 Urban Centres, 10 Trading Centres and 92 Market centres.47 markets have been constructed with overhead sheds, perimeter walls and sanitary blocks. There is high rural-urban migration with the total urban population of 91504 being found mainly in Chuka, Marimanti and Chogoria. Chuka and Chogoria are situated along the main Nairobi–Meru highway; the towns are endowed with developed infrastructure in terms of transport, and other social amenities like hospitals, schools, and banking facilities. The settlement patterns are highly influenced by two major livelihood zones; farming zone in the rural areas and business zone along the trading centers. The county has only 2 planned urban centers, all other urban, trading and market centers lack proper and approved physical development plans. This has led to poor urban development and probable rise of informal settlements. It also attributes to a low revenue base hence low service delivery and lack of proper enforcement The urban self -employment is 15% (6948). The UN Habitat standards and classification of informal settlements place many of the households in the informal settlements category with a negligible number of slum dwellings. None of the urban areas has a sewerage system. However, many small trade centres are developing rapidly due to enhanced business activities that are creating backward and forward linkages. Most centres have specific open air markets that allow traders to move across centres. The growth of some markets is curtailed by lack of infrastructure. Solid waste management is weak with inadequate facilities and untrained personnel. There are on-going programs to rehabilitate degraded and abandoned solid waste sites. 1.14.2 Industrial Parks There is a proposal to establish two Jua Kali sheds in the county, one at Marimanti and the other one at Chuka. 26 1.14.3 Major Industries The most common industries in the county are those processing agricultural products especially tea and coffee. The County has one tea factory “Weru Tea Factory” and one coffee mill “Tharaka Nithi Coffee Mill”, and an on-going banana processing and value addition factory at Mutindwa. 1.14.4 Types and Number of Businesses Generally there are two types of businesses at Tharaka Nithi County, wholesale and retail type. According to 2014 KNBS data, the county had 1572 licensed retailers and 57 licensed wholesalers. 1.14.5. Micro, Small and Medium Enterprise (MSME) The leading micro-finance institutions in the County are Faulu Kenya, Bimas and Kenya Women Finance Trust (KWFT). The growth of micro finance institutions is gaining momentum in Tharaka due to lack of reliable commercial banks and need to access small business loans. There are several established SACCOs which serve different segments of the population like farmers, teachers and civil servants. These include Transnation SACCO, Southern Star SACCO, Centenary SACCO, County SACCO, Thamani SACCO, Solution SACCO, and Ndosha SACCO. The County has no insurance firms with established branches but has several agents working in the area. 1.15 The Blue Economy 1.15.1Main Fishing Activities, Types of Fish Produced and Landing Sites Fish farming is the most common fishery activity in the county though capture fisheries is also pronounced in the lower zones. Fish products value addition; marketing and quality enhancement is gaining momentum in the county following increasing fish output since the inception of economic stimulus programme in the year 2009/2010. The presence of many rivers in the county creates a big potential for aquaculture development and river-line capture. The cold climate in the Mt. Kenya Ecozone is suitable for trout development and the department has invested a lot in Kinondoni Trout Farm and hatchery, which is located at the Moor land zone of the county to exploit this potential for recreational and cold water fisheries. This also promotes fishing activities within the rivers. There are no designated fish landing sites though the 27 Department of fisheries has been encouraging those doing capture fisheries in rivers, dam and reservoirs to form organized groups in designated units for the purpose transacting their fisheries business. This would make it easier for them to benefit from any possible support. The Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries has been supporting farmers in the County to establish fishponds; over 1000 farmers have benefited with initiatives. The main types of fish produced in the county are catfish, eel fish, trout and tilapia while the Carp, black bass and labeo are found in small quantities in the riverline capture of the lowland zones of the county. 1.16 Forestry, Agro Forestry and Value addition 1.16.1 Main Forest Types and Size of Forests The forest cover in the county is gradually improving due to interventions by government agencies to improve gazetted and non-gazetted forest through tree planting and nurturing programmes. The county has established 5 tree nurseries where trees are produced and distributed to farmers and institutions for planting purposes. The forest cover is at 19.4% which surpasses the 10% as indicated in the 2010 Kenyan Constitution. The main indigenous forest is found in Mt. Kenya in the upper zone constitutes of Chogoria and Chuka forest station and other small forests are found in the lower parts especially on gazetted hills. The size of gazetted forests stands at 44,617 ha and 3,344 ha for non-gazetted forests. However, the efforts to increase the forest cover is being hindered by the inadequate effort from the agencies and communities to nurture trees with many being left to dry after planting, over reliance on forest products by farmers for their income, poor farming technique i.e. slash and burn methods and shift cultivation by farmers encroaching on hilly areas in search of fertile farming lands. 1.16.2 Main Forest Products The main products from both the gazetted and non-gazetted forests in Tharaka-Nithi County are; timber, firewood, poles, charcoal, herbs, fodder, beeswax, honey, wild fruits . Some of the activities that are undertaken are not sustainable and it is important to introduce measures that will curb destructive use of resources which among others 28 includes ensuring people in the county have income generating activities that can ensure sustainable development. 1.16.3 Agro-forestry The ministry of environment has rolled out project on farm and dry land rural forest extension. The farmers are therefore advised to integrate tree planting activities on their farms to help/support in fighting against climate change, increase tree cover percentage and improve food security 1.16.4 Value Chain Development of Forestry Products The Ministry of Forest and the National Environment Management Authority (NEMA) have been in the forefront in training the Tharaka Nithi Community on the importance of maintaining forest by introducing programmes on non-wood forest products/implement on nature based enterprise. Community Based Organizations (CBOs) and Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) are involved in development activities among them tree planting and establishment of tree nurseries. Tree seedlings are mainly sold to farmers in the county. Other groups have initiated bee-farming activities in the forests and promotion of basket weaving. The bee farmers maintain the forests by planting trees and ensuring that trees are not cut. This ensures that the bees have sufficient nectar. The farmers get economic benefits from these activities resulting in high motivation to establish new forests and protect existing forests in the county. There are other activities that help farmers improve their living standards and reduce poverty while increasing income in their families’ i.e. chicken and rabbit rearing as well as introduction of smart agriculture (kitchen garden). 1.17 Financial Services 1.17.1. Number of banks, Micro Finance Institutions, Mobile Money Agents and SACCOs with FOSAs The County has a good network of financial institutions. There are five major banks within the county which includes Co-operative Bank, Post Bank, Equity Bank, Kenya Commercial Bank and K-Rep bank. Agency banking has been gaining popularity with the introduction of KCB Mtaani, Equity banking Agent and Co-op Jirani facilities. The leading micro-finance institutions in the County are Faulu Kenya and Kenya Women Finance Trust (KWFT). Mobile Money transfer services especially Mpesa are accessible to many people who have no access to formal banking services. The county has several 29 established SACCOs which serve different segments of the population like farmers, teachers and civil servants. These SACCOs are Transnation, Sothern Star, Ndosha, Solution, Centenary, County, Thamani and Winners. 1.17.2 Distribution /Coverage of Financial Services by Sub-County Chuka Sub-county has the following 5 banks: Co-operative Bank, Post Bank, Equity Bank, Kenya Commercial Bank and K-Rep bank. Chogoria town in Maara Sub-county has the Kenya Commercial bank, Co-operative bank and Equity bank. Tharaka and Igambang’ombe sub-counties have no established banks; however, Co-operative and Equity Banks provide mobile banking services at Marimanti and Kathwana respectively. Agency banking has been gaining popularity with the introduction of KCB Mtaani, Equity banking Agent and Co-op Jirani facilities. Mobile Money transfer services especially Mpesa are accessible to many people who have no access to formal banking services. The leading micro-finance institutions in the County are Faulu Kenya and Kenya Women Finance Trust (KWFT). The growth of micro finance institutions is gaining momentum in Tharaka due to lack of reliable commercial banks and need to access small business loans. There are several established SACCOs which serve different segments of the population like farmers, teachers and civil servants. These include Transnation SACCO, Sothern Star, Ndosha SACCO (Magutuni, Chogoria), SolutionSACCO (Kathwana, Chuka, Marimanti) Centenary SACCO, County SACCO, Thamani SACCO and Winners SACCO. The County has no insurance firms with established branches but has several insurance agents working in the area. 1.18 Environment and Climate Change The County’s economic growth depends on agriculture, tourism and water resources therefore there is great need to manage and sustain the environment and natural resource base. However, Tharaka Nithi County faces many environment challenges that include deforestation, soil erosion, and land degradation. 30 1.18.1 Major Degraded Areas / Hotspots and Major Contributions to Environmental Degradation The forests have been encroached by human settlements with the intent to either farm or exploit some of the forest resources thus aggravating the degradation of the environment. Three gazetted forests and un-gazetted forests in the southern part of the county are under the trusteeship of the County Government. Some of the activities that pose risk to the environment include; farming on hill side, illegal /massive grazing on gazetted and non- gazetted hills, charcoal burning, sand harvesting and quarrying. Some of the major degraded areas in the county are;- Tharaka constituency and part of Chuka Igamba’ombe areas which needs attention for conservation and rehabilitation purposes (Kamuthetu Hills, Kairini Hills, Njuguni /Kiera Hills,Kierera Hills,Kiuguni Hills,Gikingo Hills, parts of Kathwana/Kajuki general farm areas,farms in Chiakariga ward , Marimantiward,Gatunga ward and Kamaindi locations. To divert the attention of communities from depleting the existing forests, commercial forest farming has been introduced. This is expected to replenish the forestry cover while at the same time improving household income. 1.18.2 Environmental Threats The effects of environmental degradation in the county include water pollution and water scarcity. A large percentage of the population in Tharaka Nithi County has no access to clean drinking water. Solid and hazardous wastes cause spread of diseases due to uncollected garbage and blocked drainage systems. Wastes affect productivity through the pollution of groundwater resources.Soil degradation is evident in the county and it has increased the risks of productivity losses. Deforestation has contributed to death and disease because of flooding that results from deforestation. 1.18.3 High Spatial and Temporal Variability of Rainfall Changes in seasonal and annual rainfall patterns and hydrological regimes impact on water resources for Agriculture and domestic use especially for semi-arid areas. 1.18.4 Change in Water Levels or Glacier Change in water levels in the county has been experienced during dry spell where the flow of water quantity is low. This has been caused by illegal human activities such as 31 farming along the river banks, illegal water obstruction up stream, over reliance on surface water among other activities. 1.18.5 Solid Waste Management Facilities The ministry of environment has prioritized on establishment of proper solid waste management facility. The dumpsite has been identified at Igambang’ombe in Kithangani location where the waste can be disposed recycled and reused. 1.19 Water and Sanitation The county is well endowed with both ground water and surface water available through numerous rivers originating from Mt. Kenya forest. In the drier parts of the county; boreholes, water pans, earth dams and shallow wells provide water for the community. It is important to increase the availability of water to the community through increasing reservoirs for rainwater harvesting, sinking of more boreholes while rehabilitating the existing ones. It is also important to capacity build the community on operation and maintenance of community water project for sustainability. This is economical for smaller concentration of population. During the dry months of the year there is a lot of water abstraction upstream, thus, priority should be geared towards construction of water and soil conservation structures in the upper catchment areas of the rivers, otherwise the flow of the river downstream will be seriously curtailed. 1.19.1 Water Resources A majority of the county population access water from rivers, wells, springs, dams and boreholes. A number of households, mostly in the county’s urban areas, have piped water. Over 50% of the population take 15 minutes to 1 hour to access water from the source with over 23% of the county population spending over one hour to access water. This clearly shows that the population is about 5 kilometres away from water sources. This calls for implementation of more water projects in order to address the needs of the marginalised areas. 32 1.19.2 Water Supply Schemes The Tana Water Service Board, Water Resource Users’ Association (WRUAs) through the Upper Tana Natural Resource Management Project(UTaNRMP) and the Nithi Water and Sanitation Company (NIWASCO) are the main water developers and suppliers schemes in the County. Most of water projects are started through community initiative supported by donors and the government. Major water supply schemes are Murugi Mugumango, Muthambi 4k, Kamwene, Mutonga-Gituma, Kibung’a-Kakimiki,Kathwana, Chuka and Chogoria schemes, Ura-Kathangacini, Kamutiria-Kajuki among others. 1.19.3 Water Sources and Access A majority of the county population access water from rivers, wells, springs, dams and boreholes. A number of households, mostly in the county’s urban areas, have piped water. Over 50% of the population take 15 minutes to 1 hour to access water from the source this includes Maara and upper part of Chuka Igambangombe sub-counties with over 23% of the county population spending over one hour to access water mostly in lower of Chuka Igambangombe,Tharaka north and south sub counties. This clearly shows that the population is about 5 kilometres away from water sources. This calls for implementation of more water projects in order to address the needs of the marginalised areas. 1.19.4 Water Management Water Service Trust Fund (WSTF) is a state corporation established under the Water Act (2002) with mandate to assist in financing and provision of water service to areas in Kenya with inadequate water supply. The Upper Tana Natural Resources Management Project (UTaNRMP) under international Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD) programme has been targeting six counties in Upper Tana region Tharaka Nithi being one of them.Under the programme the WSTF is the funding instrument for grants to communities. 1.19.5 Sanitation Over 87.7% of the county population uses pit latrines. Most farmers, who form majority of the population in the county, use farms for waste disposal. Those in urban areas make use of garbage pits.Sanitation coverage is 76%. To improve in public health and welfare, there is need to secure exhausters and construct more receptacle tanks in urban areas. This will improve water quality by reducingpollution, eliminating dumping and 33 minimizing release of hazardous chemicals and materials, halving the proportion of untreated wastewater and substantiallyincreasing recycling and safe reuse globally. 1.20 Health Access and Nutrition 1.20.1 Health Access Table 13:Health Care Facilities THARAKA NITHI COUNTY HEALTH CARE FACILITIES SUMMARY 2016/17 Sub-County GOK Mission NGO Private Total Chuka Summary Hosp 1 1 0 1 3 Health/c 2 2 0 0 4 Disp 14 4 0 0 18 Medical clinic 0 0 1 16 17 Sub Total 17 7 1 17 42 Igambang`ombe Summary Hosp 0 0 0 0 0 Health/c 1 0 0 0 1 Disp 13 1 0 0 14 Medical clinic 0 0 0 1 1 Sub Total 14 1 0 1 16 Mwimbi Summary Hosp 1 1 0 0 2 Health/c 4 0 0 0 4 Disp 13 4 1 0 18 Medical clinic 0 0 0 8 8 Sub Total 18 5 1 8 32 Muthambi Summary Hosp 0 0 0 0 0 Health/c 2 0 0 0 2 Disp 14 0 0 0 14 Medical clinic 0 0 0 1 1 Sub Total 16 0 0 1 17 Tharaka North Summary Hosp 0 0 0 0 0 Health/c 2 1 0 0 3 Disp 8 1 0 0 9 Medical clinic 0 0 0 3 3 Sub Total 10 2 0 3 15 Tharaka South Summary Hosp 2 1 0 0 3 Health/c 3 1 0 0 4 Disp 16 2 0 0 18 34 Medical clinic 0 0 0 2 2 Sub Total 21 4 0 2 27 Tharaka Nithi County Hosp 4 3 0 1 8 Health/c 14 4 0 0 18 Disp 78 12 1 0 91 Medical clinic 0 0 1 31 32 Total 96 19 2 32 149 NB: Facilities -2013 =112, an increase of 37 health facilities Table 14: Health Personnel and their Distribution by Sub County SNO.

The HIV prevalence among women is higher (5.3%) than that of men (2.3%), indicating that women are more vulnerable to HIV infection than men in the county. A total of 9,093 people were living with HIV in the County by the end of 2015, with 20% being young people aged 15-24 years and 6% being children under the age of 15 years. Approximately 24 children and 223 adults died of AIDS-related conditions in 2015. There was a decrease of 51% of HIV-related deaths among the children aged below 15 years and a decrease of 14% among adults aged 15 years and above since 2013 in the county. 1.21 Education, Skills, Literacy and Infrastructure The county has 577 ECD centres comprising of 432 public and 145 private centres, 479 primary schools and 141 secondary schools. The County’s early childhood development educational institutions enrol children from at an average of 3-6 years. The total ECDE enrolment is about 24,000 composed of 10,000 girls and 14,000 boys in public and private centres. Most of the private ECDE Centres are community managed but outside the mother primary schools while others are managed by churches. The dropout rate is 37 20% for both primary and secondary schools. The dropout rate of boys was 22% being higher than of girls (20%).The transition rate from ECDE to primary is quite high at a rate of 85%. The transition rate from primary to secondary schools is approximately 70%. The gross enrolment in primary and secondary schools was 92,379(85%). There are eighteen (18) youth polytechnics and 10 other training Institutions in the county. In addition, there are several private colleges offering teaching, business and information technology courses. The county has one fully-fledged university namely, Chuka University offering certificate, diploma and degree programs including Masters and PhDs. Chuka University has established a satellite campus at Gatunga and also plans to establish another one at Chogoria (Nturiri Boys). Kenya Methodist University has a satellite campus at Marimanti while the PCEA Rubate and PCEA Chogoria are private Universities located in Chuka Ingambang’ombeand Maara Sub-counties respectively. 1.21.1 Pre School Education There are over 24,000 children in pre-school education. The ratio of boys to girls is 1:1. In the county 432 public pre-school centres have been established with 864 teachers whose 449 are employed by the County government while the rest through parents financing. The teacher student ratio is 1:43. Access and participation at ECDE level is still low in the county. Parents and communities therefore had to pay levies to cater for the management of ECDE centres, payment of teachers and cooks salary, purchasing of teaching/learning and play materials as well as putting up infrastructure. There is need for employment of more ECDE teachers and caregivers as well as increased funding to increase access and ensure quality facilities as most of the ECDE centres in the county are in semi- permanent structures that have been poorly serviced and maintained. Most of the ECDE centres lack adequate play materials as well as play equipment’s and rest facilities. On equity in ECDE, the enrolment of boys is almost equal to that of girls. All public primary schools have established ECD centres, but in some areas there is established more centres as children walk for more than the recommended maximum of 2km to school.On management of the ECDE centres the pre-school teachers are directly answerable to head teachers who are employees of TSC. Satellite ECDE centres are 38 managed by Head teachers of the primary school neighbouring them thus they lack close supervision of the service delivery compromising the quality of curriculum offered. The county therefore requires recruiting more officers to carry out quality assurance roles in all ECDE centres. There is a pre-school parent representative at the school’s Board of management (BOM) who is elected by ECDE children parents to represent their interest, there is need to empower the BOM’s through capacity building on their role in ensuring access, quality and equity of ECDE services. Private ECDE centres are also mushrooming in all corners of the county with a total of 145 centres already in operation. These centres are mostly in urban centres where there is great demand for baby care. It is however important to note that these centres are not registered and quite often the caregivers are not qualified. The learning environments are not conducive because they lack most basic standard requirements. The county government need to come up with a policy on standards guidelines to govern the operations in all ECDE centres. 1.21.2 Primary Education The county has 479 primary schools with a total gross enrolment of 93,939pupils (46,460 female and 47,479 male). There are 3,323 primary school teachers in the county hence the teacher pupil ratio is 1: 28. On the other hand the average number of teachers is about 7 meaning that the teacher shortage is still acute despite the teacher student ratio being favourable for the county. A majority of the County population is literate with only 17 % unable to read while 13.2 % of the population is not able to write. Those who cannot read or write are 16.9 %. Adult education programs should be intensified to reach the population that needs literacy and numeracy skills. A total of 21% of Tharaka Nithi County residents have secondary level of education or above, while 17% have no formal education. 1.21.3 Non-formal Education The County does not have any Non-Formal Education institutions. 1.21.4 Youth Polytechnics The County Youth Polytechnics empowers youth through provision of accessible, appropriate and quality training in technical, vocational, industrial, entrepreneurship 39 and life skills. The County has 18 registered youth polytechnics with a total enrolment of slightly over 3,400 trainees. The County Government in partnership with other stakeholders will ensure effective and efficient Technical and Vocational Training in Youth Polytechnic through Networking with all those involved in vocational training, Construction and improvement of existing Youth Polytechnics infrastructure ,Equipping YPs with the relevant tools, equipment and training materials , Training of Managers and Instructors ,Resource mobilization ,Establishing linkages with industry , Constant Inspection, Quality Assurance ,Monitoring and Evaluation. The polytechnics are faced with myriad challenges including lack of funding, poor and outdated tools and equipment for training and poor infrastructure. 1.21.5 Secondary Education The county has 141 secondary schools with total enrolment of 37,988 students (18,677 females and 19,311 males). The number of secondary school teachers in the county is 1,233 meaning the teacher to student ratio in the county is 1:30. 1.21.6 Tertiary Education The county has two universities, one is Chuka University established by the Government of Kenya while the other one is PCEA Rubate University College. Methodist University also established a satellite campus at Marimanti. Picture 3: Chuka University There is need to channel more funds in education sector to ensure the establishment of more low cost boarding primary and secondary schools especially in the marginalized 40 areas, tertiary institutions and improving the conditions of the primary schools. There is need to sensitize the community in the county to take their children to the school, this is because the enrolment level especially in secondary schools is very low. Employment of more teaching staff, provision of quality learning materials and up scaling the schools feeding programmes are necessary interventions to improve the learning situation. 1.21.7 Adult and Continuing Education Adult education in Tharaka Nithi County includes all forms of organized education and training that meet basic learning needs of adults. It includes literacy and numeracy instruction as well as general knowledge, skills, values and attitudes that adults require to survive, develop their capacity, live and work in dignity. There is a county adult educationofficewith sub-county offices in all the 4 main sub-counties. The number of adult classes has increased with time and the county government will work in collaboration with national government to ensure there is an increased literacy and numeracy levelin the county through ensuring that those adult classes are operational. 1.21.8 Technical, Vocational Education and Training Currently there are three technical training institutes in the county namely Muraga TTI, Chuka TTI at Mwanjati and Tharaka TTI at Marimanti. All these institutions are not fully operational and more needs to be done to ensure all the departments are operationalized. In the previous planning the national government recently released Ksh. 25 million to each of the three TTIs to ensure there are improved. In addition, there is a private technical training institute at Kiini funded by Germany development cooperation. 1.22 Sports, Culture and Creative Arts This section deals with the heritage and cultural sites, talent academies, sport facilities,library documentation Centers and the traditional herbalists in County. 1.22.1 Museums, Heritage and Cultural Sites The Directorate of culture strives to promote, develop and conserve our tangible and intangible cultural heritage. The County has been an active participant in the annual Kenya music and cultural festivals up to the national level. There are over 100 (one 41 hundred) active cultural groups and artist in the County. In order to promote the upcoming artist the department organizes exhibitions in visual and culinary art. The department has been involved in successful selection and vetting of heroes and heroine in the county. 1.22.2 Talent Academies The county does not have a single talent academy but it is planning to have one set up at Kathwana. The physical planning docket to set aside land for development of the same 1.22.3 Sports Facilities The Directorate of sports has 280 registered sport clubs, 50 volleyball clubs, 3 active darts clubs though there are inadequate athletic personnel. The directorate has prepared a draft Tharaka Nithi County Sports Policy 2015. It hosts the governor’s cup (football for both men and women), County volleyball tournament, participates in inter- County championship as well as beyond zero and other marathons since 2013. It has registered 17 new football clubs and has started a tournament for dart clubs and constructed five semi standard stadiums.Construction of a full standard stadium is on- going at Kirubia in Chuka Sub-county. 1.22.4 Libraries /Information Documentation Centers/ Citizen Service Centers The county has a library at Ganga ward while at the planning unit in Maara Sub-county there is an information documentation centre where citizens can access mostly government publications. All the other wards do not have a library. Efforts are being made to ensure that libraries are started in every ward in the county. 1.22.5 Registered Traditional Herbalists and Medicine-Men There are numerous traditional herbalist and medicine men in the county and there are no documented statistics on the same. However they are playing a major role in ensuring that they complement the conventional medicine that is being offered in the county hospitals. 42 1.23 Community Organizations/Non-State Actors This section deals with County Cooperative Societies, Public Benefits Organisations (PBOs) and Special Interest Groups that are operational in the county. Development Partners and other sectors Support the efforts put in place to support youth empowerment and social inclusion. 1.23.1 Cooperative Societies The cooperative development in the county has a strong base anchored on the increased demand for cooperative societies. There is need for a deliberate policy guideline to upscale the development of cooperative societies and provide them with cheap and affordable credit facilities to boost and improve the marketing capabilities. A majority of the cooperatives in the county have membership of 50-100. 1.23.2 Public Benefits Organizations (PBOs) The County has over 500 registered and active self-help groups which enable community members to pool resources for development purposes. The various groups create an opportunity for people to access loans for business and social development. There is limited access to the national women and youth enterprise funds due to stringent conditions attached to the loans or inadequate proposal writing skills. However, with the start of the Women and Youth revolving loan funds in the county, self- help groups have been able to improve their businesses after getting improved access to the loans. Motivation of the groups through capacity building will ensure they understand the need to utilize these funds at their disposal. It is also important to equip them with skills in managing business ventures and accessing available markets. The county has over two hundred (200) CBOs initiated by the communities to mobilise and pool resources together to address some of the immediate pressing issues. Some of the initiatives are; Water projects and Income Generating Activities (IGAs). There are more than ten (10) FBOs like the Catholic Diocese of Meru (Now Caritas Meru), Methodist, PCEA, Seventh Day Adventist which are actively involved in education, health and IGAs to address both immediate and future needs of the community. 43 1.23.3 Development Partners USAID-AHADI has been instrumental in providing technical assistance on strengthening county public expenditure management, sector performance and budgeting in the county. Kenya Devolution Support Programme by World Bank has also enhanced capacity to selected sectors to address issues of training, surveys and office equipment. Five (5) active children-focused development partners have been operating in the county for several years to provide access to good education and healthcare. These are; Child Fund, Compassion, Save the Children Canada, and Rural Initiative RIDEP. Other development partners in different sectors include Plan International, Mutino Friends, Unbound and Village Hope Core Int. who have been involved in community development projects that seek to improve and uplift the living standards of the community. The coordination of all development partners’ activities in the county is required to ensure there is no duplication of activities and the exit strategy is well defined before the implementation/end of the project. 1.23.4 Youth Empowerment and Social Inclusion Currently, the County hastwo youth empowerment centres one at Kieganguru Sub- County offices and the other one at Marimanti. In these centres, young people are encouraged to take charge of their lives by addressing their situation and taking action in order to improve their access to resources and transform their consciousness through their beliefs, values, and attitudes.The youth empowerment centres aims to improve quality of life through participation in youth empowerment programs and focuses on creating greater community change of individual capacity. However these centres in the county are not fully equipped and more efforts need to be put in place to ensure they are fully functional. 1.24Security, Law and Order National security shall be pursued in compliance with the law and with the utmost respect for the rule of law, democracy, human rights and fundamental freedoms. 44 1.24.1 Number of Police Stations and Posts by Sub County Table 20:Police Stations and Posts by Sub County Cadre Sub-counties Total Meru South Maara Tharaka South Tharaka North Police Station 1 2 1 1 5 Police Post 2 1 2 3 8 Total 3 3 3 4 13 Source: Kenya Police Service, Tharaka Nithi, 2017 1.24.2 Types, Trends and Crime Prone Areas Table 21:Types, Trends and Crime Prone Areas Number Reported Crimes Sub-County Total Meru South Maara T/South T/North Homicide 9 4 24 3 40 Offences against morality 10 8 12 8 38 Other offences against persons 96 75 66 54 291 Robbery 15 3 10 5 33 Breakings 24 11 10 14 59 Theft of stock 4 1 24 18 47 Stealing 29 14 22 17 82 Theft by servant 7 1 5 1 14 Vehicle and other thefts 3 2 1 1 7 Dangerous drugs 20 25 13 0 58 Traffic offences 0 0 0 0 0 Criminal damage 19 14 12 11 56 Economic crimes 11 0 2 4 17 Corruption 0 0 0 3 3 Other penal code offences 26 1 4 9 40 GRAND TOTAL 273 159 205 148 785 Source:Kenya Police Service, Tharaka Nithi Count,2014 *Provisional 45 1.24.3 Types and Number of Courts Table 22:Distribution of Magistrates and Judges in Law Courts by Cadre and Sex, 2014 Number Cadre Male Female Principal Magistrate 1 0 Resident Magistrates 2 2 Kadhi 0 0 Source: Law Courts, Tharaka Nithi County *Provisional 1.24.4 Prisons and Probation Services Table 23:Probation Personnel and Offenders by Sex, 2013-2014 Number 2013 2014 Personnel Male Female Male Female Probation officers 5 3 5 3 Offenders Offenders serving probation 75 55 Offenders serving community service 374 126 Offenders serving aftercare 3 0 Source: Probation Office, Tharaka Nithi County as at 2013 & 2014 *Provisional 1.24.5 Number of Public Prosecution Offices Table 24:Cases handled by Magistrates’’ Courts by sex, 2014* Number Cases Male Female Criminal Cases 634 232 Traffic Cases 447 57 Civil Cases 316 156 Divorce Cases 7 7 Criminal Misc.

The new authority is to come up with proposals and peace models that will yield to improvement of the existing security system. 1.24.8 Immigration Facilities The County does not have any immigration facilities. 1.25 Social Protection This section deals with the number of vulnerable children in the county, cases of street children, Child care facilities and Institutions and Social net programmes in the county. 1.25.1 Number of Orphans and Vulnerable Children (OVCs) The numbers of orphaned children in the county are on the increase. However, the county is one of the 47 counties that have benefited from the cash transfer programme for orphans children. Orphans and vulnerable children in Meru South sub –County of Tharaka NithiCounty have benefited from Kshs.3.036 million under Cash Transfer for 47 Orphans last financial year and that the funds are likely to increase when all the sub- counties enter the program. 1.25.2 Cases of Street Children There is a rise in the number of child abuse cases reported in the County. In the year 2014 there were 1,616 cases of children abused by parents, which was a rise from 1,596 in 2013 and 1,484 in 2012. Most of the cases involved young parents who separate and leave their children with aged grandparents and others are born out of wedlock. Poverty has contributed to rise in cases of child abuse as most of the victims are young girls from poor families. Thiscalls for the establishment of a children rescue centre in the county to cater for the neglected children who end up on the streets. Currently, most of the neglected children are taken to Wamumu Children Rescue and Rehabilitation Centre in Kirinyanga County. The county government will work closely with the national government to raise funds for construction of a rescue centre in the county. In the recent past, a number of street children have been in the rise at Chuka town and all efforts are being put in place to ensure they are sensitised and programs are put in place to rehabilitate them and integrate them back into main society. 1.25.3 Child Care Facilities and Institutions by Sub-county Kenya’s new constitution brought a lot of positive legal, institutional and governance changes both short-term and long-term. The short-term changes are already being felt. As the benefits permeate throughout the country, the need to enlighten all communities of the evolving new dispensation and the inherent opportunities at the County level is pertinent. There is already set up County children offices and four sub-county Children offices especially in the older Tharaka Nithi Districts. There are two rescue centers in Tharaka Nithi that are community led but assisted by the national government but currently all the children from this county need rehabilitation facilities are sent all the way to Wamumu in Kirinyaga County. 1.25.4 Social Net Programmes in the County The County government endeavours to pay for National Hospital Insurance Fund for the poor families for two thousand families in order for them to access quality health care. The county has been able to partner with national government line ministries to ensure 48 that women access women fund, Youth access Youth funds while families who are affected and infected by HIV/AIDs access OVC Services. Also Women, Youth and PLWDs groups can also access the Uwezo fund and the NationalGovernment Affirmative Action Fund (NGAAF). Children protection issues are being undertaken by the County government in partnership with NGOs like Plan International, and others to ensure that issues of children rights like child marriage and FGM are addressed properly. A gender and children’s desk are provided in all the police stations in the County. A continuous training and capacity building of citizens on governance and devolution is ongoing through community participation forums. This is to ensure that citizens understand their rights, their entitlements and they can hold County government to account on the quality of service delivery. 49 SDGs Constitution of Kenya, 2010 AGENDA 2063 VISION 2030- MEDIUM TERM PLANS CIDP LINKAGES WITH VISION 2030 AND OTHER PLANS County Planning Policy Framework 50 2.1 Preamble 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 needs 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. The section stipulates the alignment of the CIDP with various policy documents in the global, regional and local contexts. It details the upward linkages with SDGs, Agenda 2063 and Vision 2030- MTPs; alignment with spatial, sectoral and urban & city plans. Finally, the downward linkages with ADPs and CFSP among other county planning and budgeting documents that inform the setting of overall goals and objectives for effective service delivery to the people of Tharaka Nithi. 2.2CIDP linkages with the Kenya Vision 2030 and its 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 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, BPO and financial services. A seventh sector, oil and mineral resources, has now been added taking cognizance of the recent related developments. 51 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 1st MTP covered the period 2008-2012, the 2nd MTP covered the period 2013-2017. The current Medium Term Plan 2018-2022 is the 3rd (third) in a series of successive 5-year plans under which the Kenya Vision 2030 is to be implemented. The 3rd MTP draws on lessons learnt in implementing the MTP I & II. It seeks to implement the flagship projects identified under Vision 2030 over the five year period together with incomplete flagship and other PPIs in the previous MTP. 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 among other emergent issues. The broad key priority areas which will be the focus of the MTP III include: employment creation; development of human resource through expansion and improvement in quality education, health and other social services. This will reduce the dependence of the economy on rain fed agriculture through expansion of irrigation; higher investment in alternative and green sources of energy; structural transformation of the economy in 52 terms of increasing the share of manufacturing and industrial sectors, improving the economy‘s competitiveness through increased investment and modernization of infrastructure; increasing the ratio of domestic savings, investment (FDI) and increase share of exports to GDP; policies, programmes and projects aimed at meeting the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) targets, implementation of key Kenya Vision 2030 Flagship projects. 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 2018-2022. As such CIDPs will provide the essential linkages between the National and County Governments by facilitating the implementation of Vision 2030 flagship projects as well as other county transformative projects and programmes. County governments therefore must embrace the Kenya Vision 2030 and Medium Term Plans during preparation and implementation 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. Moreover, Tharaka Nithi County will identify specific projects and programmes for implementation over the medium term period towards achievement of the Kenya Vision 2030 and the second third medium term plan. 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.National Flagship projects in Tharaka Nithi include development of Chuka University campus at Gatunga; Highgrand falls dam, improving national security; promoting national values and ethics; and continue implementing the Constitution including devolution 53 2.3 Cross-Cutting Projects and Programmes Involving the County and Neighbouring Counties There are a number of cross-cutting projects and programmes involving the county and the neighbouring counties. These projects are mainly in the agriculture sector, infrastructure and ICT (Fibre optic Cable). 2.4 Linkage with Sectoral Plans, Urban and City Plans The County sectoral Plan is a 10 year development plan developed to guide investment and prioritization of development initiatives within Tharaka Nithi County in the different sectors. These Sector Plans identifies and defines the strategies and priority interventions areas; and, third it elaborates the approaches and method to be used to implement priority intervention areas and flag ship projects within Tharaka Nthi County for the next 10 years. The overall objective of a Sectoral Plan is to realize a sustainable and commonly agreed-upon sectoral strategy, with all relevant stakeholders, for an optimum level of sustained economic growth of Tharaka Nithi County and a framework for its implementation of programmes in the county. Tharaka Nithi County developed ten year sector plans which are still in their draft form that have been incorporated in the five year second generation County Integrated Development Plan. The Sector Plans act as a long term reference framework for future and existing planning activities, allowing for better integration of development related responsibilities in the different sectors within the County. The Sectorial Plan also includes an investment plan to guide financing and monitoring and evaluation framework for measuring impact of development priorities towards improving quality of services for citizens. The county seeks to develop Urban & City Plans in line with the CGA, 2012 requirement. This will be done upon completion of Spatial Plan for the County. 2.5 CIDP Linkage with SDGs and Agenda 2063 2.5.1 SDGs In 2013, two years to the end of the MDGs period, a group of world leaders was appointed by the UN Secretary General to work together to find the best way to tackle global agenda on development after 2015. The post 2015 agenda had shared 54 responsibilities for all countries and with the fight against poverty and sustainable development at its core. With the lapsing of the MDGS, SDGS were adopted ‘transforming our world: the 2030 agenda for sustainable development. The 17 Sustainable Development Goals and 169 targets were adopted by the UN General Assembly in September 2015 and they demonstrate the scale and ambition of this new universal Agenda. They seek to build on the Millennium Development Goals and complete what they did not achieve. They seek to realize the human rights of all and to achieve gender equality and the empowerment of all women and girls. They are integrated and indivisible and balance the three dimensions of sustainable development: the economic, social and environmental. The Goals and targets will stimulate action over the next 15 years in areas of critical importance for humanity and the planet. Kenya is one of the signatories to the Declaration and is committed to achieve the SDGs. As the county pursues development agenda at the county level, there is need to fast track the achievement of these global goals as outlined below. SDG 1: End poverty in all its forms everywhere The CIDP has identified social and economic programmes in the agriculture sector to ensure that extreme poverty is eradicated in the county.

SDG 2: End hunger, achieve food security and improved nutrition and promote 55 sustainable agriculture The school feeding programme and food subsidy are geared towards ending hunger and ensuring access by all people, in particular the poor and people in vulnerable situations, to safe, nutritious and sufficient food all year round. Efforts towards ending all forms of malnutrition, including achieving, by 2025, the internationally agreed targets on stunting and wasting in children under 5 years of age, and address the nutritional needs of adolescent girls, pregnant and lactating women and older persons will be scaled up.The robust investments in the agriculture and rural development sector will ensure that the county doubles the agricultural productivity and incomes of small-scale food producers, in particular women, indigenous peoples, family farmers, pastoralists and fishers. This will in turn lead to sustainable food production systems and implement resilient agricultural practices that increase productivity and production, help maintain ecosystems, strengthen capacity for adaptation to climate change, extreme weather, drought, flooding and other disasters and that progressively improve land and soil quality.Through the promotion new technologies the county shall strive to maintain the genetic diversity of seeds, cultivated plants and farmed and domesticated animals and their related wild species, including through soundly managed and diversified seed and plant banks. The county also aim to promote access to and fair and equitable sharing of benefits arising from the utilization of genetic resources and associated traditional knowledge, as internationally agreed more emphasis will be given to increased investment.

SDG 3: Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages The county will work towards reducing the maternal mortality ratio to less than 70 per 100,000 live births. The maternal and child health programme is aimed at ending preventable deaths of new-borns and children under 5 years of age, with more so reducing neonatal mortality to at least as low as 5 per 1,000 live births and under-5 mortality to at least as low as 25 per 1,000 live births.The health sector will also ensure an end to the epidemics of AIDS, tuberculosis, malaria and neglected tropical diseases and combat hepatitis, water-borne diseases and other communicable diseases. The target is to reduce by one third premature mortality from non-communicable diseases through prevention and treatment and promote mental health and well-being. The county shall also strengthen the prevention and treatment of substance abuse, including narcotic drug abuse and harmful use of alcohol. The family planning program will lead to universal access to sexual and reproductive health-care services, including for family planning, information and education, and the integration of reproductive health into national strategies and programmes. Another key target is to achieve universal health coverage, including financial risk protection, access to quality essential health-care services and access to safe, effective, quality and affordable essential medicines and vaccines for all. The County will continue to substantially increase health financing and the recruitment, development, training and retention of the health workforce.

The Agenda 2063 envisions an integrated, prosperous and peaceful Africa, driven by its own citizens, representing a dynamic force in the international arena. To achieve this vision, the county will pursue the key areas identified in the Agenda spanning: social and economic development; integration, democratic governance and peace and security amongst others. 2.6CIDP Linkages with Constitution of Kenya, 2010and other Legislations 2.6.1 TheConstitution 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 60 county governments. A total of 14 functions have been devolved to the counties. These 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. 2.6.2 Other Legislations Five laws which provide the framework for devolution have been enacted, namely: The County Governments Act, 2012; The Public Finance Management Act, 2012, Urban Areas and Cities Act, 2011; The Intergovernmental Relations Act, 2012; and The National Government Coordination Act, 2013. 2.6.2.1 The County Government Act 2012 In fulfilment of the constitutional requirement to legislate preparation of county plans, this Act details the goals and procedures of “County Planning” (Part XI of the Act). County planners are required to prepare 5-year integrated county development plans and the annual county budgets to implement them as per section 108 (1) of the Act. In Section 102(h) of the Act, county planning is expected “to provide a platform for unifying planning, budgeting, financing programmes, implementation, and performance review”. A county planning unit shall be responsible for “coordinated integrated development planning”. County plans will have the goal of promoting harmony with national and other county plans, land-use plans, urban planning and environmental conservation. Further, Section 104 (1) of the Act states that, “a county government shall plan for the county and no public funds shall be appropriated without a planning framework developed by the county executive committee and approved by the county assembly”. It also states that the county planning framework 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: 61 a) A County Sectoral Plan; b) A County Spatial Plan; and c) 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”. 2.6.2.2 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 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. 2.6.2.3 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.” 2.6.2.4 Intergovernmental Relations Act, 2012 Part II of the Intergovernmental Relations Act, 2012, establishes the Summit responsible for monitoring of county development plans and recommending appropriate action. Section 12 of the Act also establishes the Intergovernmental Relations Technical Committee (IGRTC) which provides secretariat services to the Summit and Council of Governors. In addition, Section 20 (f) established the Council of Governors with a mandate to coordinate the receiving of reports and monitoring the implementation of inter-county agreements on inter-county projects. 2.6.2.5 National Government Coordination Act, 2013 62 The National Government Coordination Act, 2013, provides for establishment of various committees to coordinate the National Government activities. Pursuant to Section 13 (1) of the Act, National Government Service Delivery Coordination committees were established in each county through the Executive Order Number 3/2014 to perform the following functions, among others: a) Coordinating implementation of National Government functions at the County level. b) Monitoring, evaluation and reporting on programmes, projects and initiatives of the National Government at the county level. c) Identifying, through public participation the development priorities of the National Government at county level. 63 Picture 4: Lab equipment at Muthambi Health centre 64 3.1 Preamble Integrated Development Plans are institutions’ blueprints that reflect their broader picture and priorities to achieve certain results. Often, the achievements of these results are preceded by identification of development needs, priorities, strategies, programmes and projects that indicate interventions to achieved desired outcomes. However, both the internal and external organizational environment may change during the execution of set objectives. This calls for End Term Review (ETR) as best practice in development planning. As such, the ETR is an assignment of evaluating the progress against the set targets and make adjustments to the development plan where necessary, according to dynamism in factors beyond county’s operations, resources availability, stakeholders’ needs and expectations. Specifically, the end term review of the CIDP that was conducted captures the development programmes and projects initiated or implemented; the implementation gaps; the interventions, priorities, strategies, and targets that leads to desirable outcomes.The end term review of the Tharaka Nithi CIDP was a dynamic process that engaged many different participants. The aim was to look back at the period of implementation of the CIDP 2013-2017 and other related County plans; draw lessons and recommendations from it. In line with international best practice, an evaluation criteria comprising of five (5) principles was used to guide the review process as detailed in figure 3 below. 65 Figure 3:End Term Review – 5 Principles Evaluation Criteria The key concern for CIDP under review was the orientation in the implementation framework. CGA 2012 stipulates that sectoral plans that inform the CIDP should be programme-based and that CIDP should have clear goals and objectives; with an implementation plan with well-defined outcome indicators. Yet, the CIDP 2013-2017 was project-based with output indicators. This has made it had to evaluate the outcome and eventual impact of service delivery. Another major impediment with Tharaka Nithi CIDP was that although the legal and policy framework requires that all projects be implemented in line with the CIDP, it is apparent that some projects were not captured in the CIDP. The case in point was Health Sector with over 50% projects outside CIDP. However, most of the projects were informed by the communities’ felt needs and aligned towards strengthening the established building blocks of the sectors including financing, leadership and governance; service delivery, human resources and technologies. The inadequacy of human capacity and the strict 1st September deadline triggered a scenario where the skeleton county structure and capacity had to quickly seek the services of consultants in the development of the CIDP with little involvement with 66 County Executive, Assembly and more importantly the public. This was largely so because the release of county funds by the Controller of Budget hinged on the existence of a CIDP approved by the County Assembly as per Section 126 (3) of the Public Finance Management Act, 2012. Therefore, CIDP were hurriedly prepared and ended up being very ambitious and a wish-list of projects with little community ownership. It is in the light of this, Tharaka Nithi CIDP was developed and this has affected negatively the implementation of the same. Besides the development and implementation of CIDP challenges, the CIDPs were project-based as opposed to programme-based; thus hard to follow through the overall county development objectives which are anchored on programmes. The other major hindrance across affecting the CIDP execution has been the grazing battles between the County Executive arm and the County Assembly and this is largely attributed to the lack of understanding of roles. 3.2Status of Implementation of the Previous CIDP The CIDP 2013-2017 contained numerous projects that were implemented and some remained unimplemented due to various reasons as earlier highlighted. The setbacks included structural challenges such as low levels resource mobilization that were brought about by overestimated local revenue and delayed release of National funds. Shortage of local revenue collection due to low agricultural yields since that was a source of revenue and low tourist turn out as it was area of target as well. Inadequate coordination and follow up on the projects implementation was a challenge as well. This led to implementation of non-CIDP projects. Projects in the previous CIDP that were not implemented have been given a priority in the current CIDP (2018-2022). The county government has a plan to increase own revenue so as to effectively fund the projects in the CIDP. This will be achieved by automating revenue collection and identifying more sources of revenue. The County Government will ensure that intense M&E process is carried out and there will be follow up on the projects implementation. 67 3.2.1 Revenue Analysis County income inflows by source over the plan period that comprised of internal/ local revenue, grants, Commission for Revenue Allocation (Equalization Share), donors and other sources was considered during this review. A summary of overall revenue over the period is detailed below.

These efforts targeted better adoption of good agricultural practises and to raise farm productivity. As a result production of maize has increased from an average of 8 bags per ha to 15 bags per Ha in 2013 and 2017 respectively.  With the effort to revive cotton industry, ha under cotton increased from 400Ha to 800Ha. Farmers were also trained on cotton husbandry. This led to increment of farm incomes from an average of Kshs 5000 to Kshs 8,000.  Promotion of adoption of traditional high value crops in the County. A total of 150 metric tons of assorted seed (sorghum, green grams, cowpeas, beans, maize, and dolicos), 300,000 sweet potato vines and 100,000 cassava cuttings was issued to farmers with support from the National Government. In addition, 1000 farmers were trained.  With distribution of the seeds / seedlings/ cuttings, there is improved availability of the traditional food crop planting materials in circulation within the county.  There was provision of subsidized fertilizer through the national government with planting fertilizer being sold at Kshs 1800 per 50 Kg bag and topdressing fertilizer at Ksh 1,500. About 100,000 metric tons of fertilizer was distributed. This had led to improvement of food crops productivity by 5% in 2017 from 2013.  Promotion of fruit production and marketing. Four tissue culture banana nurseries were established with support from the national government. This enabled farmers to access clean planting materials within the County. With this effort, banana productivity has improved by 10% in 2017 from 2013. This has led to increment in gross margin per Ha of Kshs 25,000 from Kshs 10,000.  There were efforts to promote oil crop production especially sunflower by introducing high yielding varieties in the County. Five farmer groups were trained on sunflower production and demonstrations conducted with support from FAO. As a result, there was increase in productivity of sunflower from 2 tons per Ha to 4 tons per Ha. This led to increase in gross margins of sunflower from Kshs 5,000 to Kshs 35,000 per Ha.  Promotion of coffee to enhance production and improve quality. Trainings were conducted to 10 coffee societies with support from National Government and Kenya Agricultural Producers Association. This has led to improved production from 2 kg per tree to 5kg per tree in 2013 and 2017 respectively. As a result, gross margins from coffee have improved from Kshs 10,000 to Kshs 50,000 per Ha. Livestock  Dairy improvement which saw the aggregation of over 60 self-help groups to Developme fourteen cooperatives and one dairy farmers union through the efforts of nt ASDSP.  Major strides were made in the sector with 13 coolers being installed in the county through CDF, County Government and Private investors. This increased 72 the milk collections form 30,000 litres per day to over 80,00o litres and production hitting 20tons annually. This has increased household incomes for example milk worthy around 155m was produced in 2016.  Improvement in pasture and fodder establishment, bulking conservation and preservation was achieved through the support of UTaNRMP, USAID KAVES and K-SALES. This has mainly been through on farm demonstrations and bulking sites.  Dairy goat farming has been on the increase with support of 200 breeding stock purchased by the County and over 80 groups have been funded by UTaNRMP since 2013 for Dairy goat rearing. This has brought about an increase in goat milk production from 0.5litres to 1.5 litres per day per doe hence improved nutrition. Goat milk is marketed through Tharaka Nithi goat breeders association achieving 156,000 litres by end of 2016. This improved household income significantly. Upgrading of meat goats has improved carcass weight from 10kg to 14kg and reduced slaughter age to average of eight months from 12-15 months.  Improvements in the indigenous chicken included introduction of improved indigenous Chicken breeds through the County Government, UTaNRMP, CARITAS and other NGOs such as RIDEP and PLAN International. ASDSP supported capacity development for indigenous chicken farmers including aggregating the producers in four cooperative societies and one Union.  Rabbit industry has continued to grow supports livelihoods in improved nutrition and income. Rabbit meat is white meat and highly digestible. The County government has supported the sector with 1000 rabbits for breeding purposes.  Honey production is a key economic activity in the County and production of honey improved 239,397 kg and 12600 kg of beeswax. Honey fetches between Ksh 300- 600 per KG depending on the level of refining. The honey refining continued at Marimanti Rural training centre and equipment was procured for honey processing at Kathwana by County Government. Two hundred Langstroth hives were introduced in Igambang’ombe by County government  Major donors included IFAD that supports the UTaNRMP that has a key component on livelihood improvement. Farmer group write proposals and are funded with grants to carryout projects such as dairy goats, local poultry and dairy cows. These have assisted in achieving CIDP. Another donor is SIDA through ASDSP in National government that supported development of the dairy cow and indigenous chicken value chains. USAID through USAID KAVES and KSALES supported development of beef industry and upgrading of Livestock market at Kathwana. Caritas has been supporting livelihoods in the County.  The key implementers of the CIDP included National Government, County Government, and NGOs such as RIDEP, IFDC, PLAN international and CARITAS Veterinary  The County veterinary services department vaccinated approximately 40% of Services the total livestock against notifiable enzootic diseases (Data source: County Veterinary Annual report-2016).  A total of 53,180 clinical cases were handled during the last 4 years  A total of 33,954 Artificial inseminations in cattle.  A total of 20,220 cattle, 61,960 goats, 20,636 sheep and 4,820 pigs were inspected during the 4years.  Total revenue of Kshs 5,636,925 was collected in 4 years.  A total of 5,440 movement permits and 1,680 no objection in 4years  A County Artificial Insemination station at Kianjagi was renovated, equipped 73 and operationalized.  Renovated 1 cattle dip.  Improved 7 Slaughterhouses.  Constructed 1 modern Livestock market at Kathwana. Fisheries  Sensitization and advocacy activities that created more awareness on fish Developme production and productivity that saw fish productivity increase from nt 109,275Kg to 114,740Kg earning Ksh1.6M between the year 2013 and 2017, while the number of ponds increased by 34 during the same period.  The fingerlings stocked increased to 116,000 from 48,000 over the same period due to complementary support from some state actors like the Upper Tana Natural Resource Management Programme and the FAO of United nations. EDUCATION  This department partnered with National Gov’t (M.o.E) in provision of School feeding programme whereby 87 schools benefited and this led to percentage increase in transition rate to secondary school from 60% to 80%.  Constructed and equipped 196 classrooms for ECDE at a cost of 34M thereby reducing the ratio of classroom to pupil ratio from 1:50 to 1:43, rehabilitated/constructed 87 classrooms in Secondary schools at a cost of 52.2M thereby reducing the classroom to student ratio from 1:50 to 1:45.  Eighteen youth polytechnics were equipped at a cost of 3.5M hence increasing the number of learners from 600 students to 900 students and also increasing the number of students absorbed in the job market from 250 to 340.  Employed 449 ECDE teachers in all public ECDE centres across the county whereby reducing the teacher to pupil ratio from 1:45 to 1:30 and also reducing the burden borne by parents of paying for the teachers.  In collaboration with the National Government, the sector has established 4 Technical training institutes at a cost of 180M thus increasing the rate of skilled labour force participation from 10% to 14%.  In collaboration with the National government has promoted women participation in development through establishment of A.A.D.F & AGPO at a cost of 7M thereby increasing women participation in development from 20% to 40%  Identified and registered cultural groups and practitioners and issued them with certificates after vetting them at a cost of 1M increasing the number of groups registered from 100 to 200. The sector held annual cultural & tourism exhibitions to promote culture and tourism at a cost of 8M. This led to increase of exhibitions held from 2 to 4 and also opening up of the Ura Gate to the National park.  Promoted the Rights of children in collaboration with child rights advocacy bodies by monitoring the welfare of the children below 18 years at a cost of 5M thereby increasing the number of children under protection from 200 to 500. GENERAL ECONOMICS AND COMMERCIAL AFFAIRS Trade  Offered training to 150 peoples and loans to 118 business owners  Constructed 47 markets and overhead structures  Re-verified 4015 weighing and measuring equipment  Conducted five trade fairs as per the programs  Considerable growth in new enterprises establishment and also improved 74 businesses and increase in trade volumes from an average of 46% to 62%  Twenty public awareness campaigns, creation of one producer business group and constructed 2 Jua Kali sheds. This also gave raise to creation of jobs and increased business incomes. Cooperative  Cooperative subsector foresaw coffee quality and quantity improvement and control to 5 societies  Diversification of 5 multipurpose societies and continuous audit and supervision of 20 societies which in general improved farmer’s income  The societies posted an increase of 57% in coffee prices from an average of Ksh 35 to Ksh 55. Tourism  Initiated cultural centre at Ciakariga; Mapped out and branded 48 tourist sites  Improved Mt. Kenya Kinondoni lodge; held two forums of promoting tourism thereby growing county revenue and creating jobs. HEALTH  On service delivery, the county implemented more than 80 projects ranging from building of new dispensaries, renovating existing buildings and procurement of various medical tools and equipment. In particular, twenty (20) new dispensaries were constructed and operationalized through equipping and deploying Health care providers.  In addition, the Constructed a major Theatre in Magutuni Hospital, constructed a maternity unit at Kiereni dispensary, constructed a male ward in Muthambi Health centre, established a renal unit in Chuka Hospital, renovated and operationalized a general Theatre in Tharaka Hospital and renovated and equipped a Maternity Theatre in Chuka Hospital.  Other key infrastructural investments included upgrading of four dispensaries (Kamanyaki, Tunyai, Nkondi and Kathangicini) into Health centres, purchase of four ambulances, three utility vehicles, renovation of Kibung’a Hospital, procurement of vaccine refrigerators and other assorted medical tools and equipment, among other investments. The investment in infrastructural development has translated into improved access and quality of basic and specialized Health care services that can be evidenced by increment of Health care service utilization rate from 94% in 2013 to 98% in 2016.  The investments also focused on strengthening the capacity of the Human resource for Health basically through recruiting new Health care providers, training the existing Health care providers and providing regular updates through seminars and on the job trainings. In total, one thousand (1000) new health care workers were recruited, three (3) supported for international training and approximately 10% attended seminars lasting for more than five days. Although the County has not conducted an empirical review to ascertain the outcome of these projects at the population level, service level assessment points to improved efficiency and quality of care in most of the health care facilities.  In leadership and governance, the county has strengthened service provision through regular support supervision and technical backstopping to all levels of care. The efforts were heightened by the introduction of Result Based Financing (RBF) that resulted into increment of annual support supervision visits by the CHMT from 13 in 2014 to 110 in 2016 (124%). In general, all the investments contributed towards a responsive Health care system and ultimately resulted into improved quality and efficiency in the delivery of health care services. ICT & ENERGY  During the year 2013/2014, LAN and WAN was installed in Tharaka-Nithi County 75 Headquarter (Kathwana) by County ICT department. As a result, all County offices at Kathwana were connected to internet unlike before when no county office at Kathwana was connected to internet. This made internet services available to all staff as well as every resident within the area there was easy access to information and enabled staff and residents to collaborate, telecommute, and learn and low cost as well  During Fiscal year 2014/15 the department developed County website (www.tharakanithi.go.ke). This enhanced citizen and stakeholders’ engagement and access to information. The website serves as source of information related to the county and creates an engagement platform  In the year 2016/17, the ICT department purchased and installed a County Data Server machine. This was funded and implemented by Tharaka Nithi County Government at a cost of 1 Million. This enabled sharing, monitoring of county resources and back up of information. Hence, it was possible to extend government services to remote regions within the county  In the Fiscal year 2016/17, fibre connection was extended from Chuka town to Kathwana (County HQ) through a wireless connection. It was funded by ICT Authority-GoK and implemented by GOK in partnership with ICT department of Tharaka Nithi County Government. It enabled effective interaction between the National Government and the County Government. It also unified the county and made access to information fast and cheaper  In the Fiscal year 2016/17, WAN internet connection point were installed in the following sub county offices : Chuka, chogoria, Marimanti and Gatunga. This resulted to those sub county offices getting internet connection unlike before when no county office in those areas was connected to internet. This made internet services available to staff . PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION, FINANCE AND ECONOMIC PLANNING  The construction of county headquarters begun in 2015 to address the acute shortage of office space. The construction is at 40%. It jointly funded by the county and national government at 30% and 70% respectively.  The ministry of Interior and Coordination of national government has instituted several reforms to beef up security in all areas of county. Some of such initiatives include construction of sub county administrative office complex at Maara and Tharaka North sub counties. This will address the acute shortage of office space.  Through the National Police Service, several measures have been instituted to improve the welfare of police officers that include medical scheme and construction of residential houses. Purchase of more police vehicles and motor cycles of area chiefs has facilitated their mobility hence curbing insecurity. In this conjunction, the county government has established a new Administration Police post at Kiamiramba in Gatunga ward whose construction is ongoing. This is expected to beef up security in the bandits’ prone area. Several other police posts have been established across the county like: Mutino AP camp and Gakirwe police post.  In the spirit of upholding Public Expenditure Principles (fiscal discipline, allocative efficiency and operational efficiency), the sector has prepared three public finance management documents on annual basis: 2014/5; 2015/6 and 20167 that entails County Budget, CBROP and CFSP.  For effective decision making during planning and budgeting processes, one baseline survey (2014) and annual statistical abstract was carried out by the KNBS.  To ensure optimal staffing levels for effective and efficient service delivery, The Human Resource department carried out Training Needs Assessment (TNA) that identified training needs/gaps and further made recommendations on staff training for skills and knowledge. 76  In order for the National government to bring services closer to the people, the government established Huduma Centre at Chuka. This has facilitated easy access to government services like issuing of ID cards, birth certificates, NHIF registrations and other related services.  In delivering judicial services, the Judiciary has established a High court at Chuka. This has relieved the residents from seeking high court services in neighbouring counties of Meru and Embu.  Construction of Marimanti magistrate court in Tharaka South is ongoing. At completion, this will eventually lead to more office space for faster delivery of judicial services. LANDS, PYSICAL PLANNING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT  Fencing of livestock yard in Gatunga.  Construction of public toilet in Gatunga and Chogoria.  Ongoing drainage development in Chogoria and Chuka.  Established town boards in Marimanti, Chuka and Chogoria.  Tarmacking of 51.2km Chuka town roads (KERRA).  Construction of Chogoria Bus Park, street lighting and solar lighting in Marimanti and Chogoria; improvement of drainage and market construction. This has improved shopping centre accessibility from one street to over ten streets, decreased reported cases of water borne diseases, reduced number of reported crime from two cases to one per week on average and reduced number of matatu conflicts from three cases per week to one per week.  Adjudicate one sector and issued four thousands tittle deeds. The physical planning department has been preparing urban plans for the key towns and markets including Kathwana and Chogoria. The continued approval of building plans has been geared towards ensuring controlled development of towns and markets. This has reduced land and plot ownership disputes. INFRASTRUCTURE, HOUSING, PUBLIC WORKS AND LEGAL AFFAIRS  Graded 780Kms of road and 50Kms were gravelled alongside improvement of drainage  Tarmacking of 51.2km Chuka town roads  Opened up roads that were barely motorable, such as Kaguma-Kembaci in Tharaka South, Gikwego-Kathiru-Ikuu, PCEA Church in Chuka and Mitheru-Mikuu roads in Maara. ENVIRONMENT, WATER SERVICES AND NATURAL RESOURCES Water  In collaboration with development partners (WSTF, NDMA, TARDA, Upper Resources Tana, TWSB and ADB) has managed to construct twenty three (23) new domestic water supply projects and improvement of existing ones across the county. This has seen improvement in terms of the reduction in distance covered to access water services by an average of two Kilometres.  Through the same partnership also the sector has managed to develop and upgrade 138 boreholes to solar pumping with funding from the National Drought Management Authority (NDMA), Upper Tana, TARDA and Tana Water Service Board. This has improved efficiency in groundwater exploitation by reducing the manual pumping strain.  The sector is also working to improve in water harvesting/storage services through construction of Rock catchments, rehabilitation of water pans by TARDA and construction of earth dams by NDMA as a means of arresting drought emergencies. There has been a significant rise in volume of runoff 77 storage availability by 150,000 cubic meter.  In partnering with the African Development Bank to ensure improved sanitation systems among major towns in the county through construction of 2 Sewerage Systems. The sites for construction have been identified. The initiative is expected to benefit both urban and peri-urban residents and improve in proportion of wastewater safely treated and proportion of population using hygienic human disposal facilities rendering to reduction in spread of pathogenic diseases. Environment,  Fifty two ha of forest have been rehabilitated and 17 hills are under Forestry and conservation Natural  Formation of 3 CFA (community forest association) in Chogoria forest Resources station, Chuka forest and Kiera Hills  Formation of 4 PFMPS (Participatory Forest Management Plans In Kiera Hills, Ntugi Hills, Gikingo Hills, Chogoria Forest, Chuka Forest and Gikingo Hills  To divert the attention of communities to understand the important of forest and other natural resources as well as help the community from depleting the existing natural resources. The department has been involved in various environmental awareness programmes by organising 4 environmental stakeholder meetings and involved in 3 annual world environment day and 2 annual international day of forest cerebrations. This has increased the capacity of people in conservation and protection of the environment as well as helped the farmers to practise smart agriculture, non-wood forest products enterprises like bee keeping, basket weaving, tree nursery preparation and management among others.  Map, restore, conserve and rehabilitate various wetland s in the county to increase in water quality and quantity in rivers, swamps, streams and springs. This has been achieved through formation of 11 WRUAs up stream along 10 rivers in Chuka/Igambango’mbe sub-county and protection of 9 springs in Chuka/Igambang’ombe and Maara Sub-County. Irrigation  With corroboration with development partners e.g.JICA,ADB,NIB,UTaRMP, Services Department has been able to develop 10 irrigation projects(Magati,Gacee,Rungu,Kirumi kia mujari,Makanyanga Muringa banana,muungano,Maanyaga,etc). state and county government also played a great part in increament of irrigation projects and chemes(Thuchi ridge , Muungano Kiaga, Nithi kari etc.The total number of projects started and constracted are 21.  Undertook seven irrigation water intakes out of which four of them completed  Initiated two projects, one is complete and the other is 20% complete adding a total of 150 ha. These were being funded by the National state Government .  In partnership with KFW two more projects are to be implemented. 3.2.4 Challenges in the Implementation of CIDP 2013-3017 There are various challenges encountered during the implementation of the CIDP including:  There were PPIs implemented outside the CIDP (Non-CIDP PPIs)  Lack of political good will to implement the CIDP PPIs 78  The Budgeted costs for most projects and programmes were highly inflated  Stakeholders’ forums’ respondents indicated a need for stronger partnership with citizens comprising of interest groups (youth and gender-based), PLWDs groups and civil society organizations & networks  Delayed release of funds by the national government  Incompleteness of data for evaluation from the departments.  Inadequate resource mobilization framework to boost development  Inadequate continuous monitoring and evaluation of CIDP PPIs  The CIDP lacked clear linkage with the national plans such as Vision 2030 MTP II and the MDGs  Unclear upward and downward linkages between the planning and budgeting process  There lacks citizen feedback mechanisms  Sectoral plans that supposed to inform CIDP are in draft form and there lacks both Spatial and Urban & City Plans  Information systems remain weak  The availability and use of information for decision making remains a challenge. 3.2.5 Lessons Learnt It is essential that the county’s PPIs should be clearly stipulated in the CIDP as aligned to County Sectoral Plans, County Spatial Plan; and City and Urban Areas Plan (City or Municipal Plans). These county plans (section 107(2)) “shall be the basis for all the budgeting and planning in a county”. More so, to build consensus on the implementation, monitoring and evaluation of the development plans; it is recommended that the departmental directorates and other county entities be equipped on monitoring of PPIs. This entails on-going regular collection of data and information during the implementation of PPIs. The monitoring report will improve the accuracy of analysis of completion level and cost analysis. This report urges the county to mobilize funds besides National Government allocation to be able to improve on the projects’ completion level. For the next planning period, there is need for internal strengthening of management of resources and M&E systems. Monitoring and evaluation of service delivery should be 79 given keen attention in the county to be able to capture the progress as program activities are being carried out. This can be achieved by simplifying and streamlining program/project reporting requirements in the county; streamline and automate M&E processes. The county should increase its support economic planning directorate in order to streamline and consolidate the multiple data streams and move toward an overall County M&E Framework. In addition, the County should develop CIMES by merging its various M&E guiding documents into one M&E Framework for easy standardization and use. Furthermore, in project initiation and implementation process, there should be a feasibility study to create baseline data and depict the viability of the projects. To develop data driven management in the county, capacity building should be carried out: the county should train and mentor county officers on data entry to strengthen data analysis and use capacity at ward, sub-county and county level facilities. County’s internal project databases should be strengthened and automated to produce management and technical reports for data driven decision-making. The county should build technical and management capacity on the areas of governance, planning, public finance management, human resources and technical abilities especially on service quality. This initiative should be coordinated with PSB’s technical and management capacity development approaches to ensure harmony. The departments should reassess and adjust the projects/ output targets for indicators to be challenging yet achievable. This and further analysis would enable the county to better balance its resources to achieve service delivery, capacity development, public participation, integration, and other project objectives. Special attention should be paid to the projects proposed by citizens during public forums. The County should develop a structured approach and coordinate timelines for all the departments and county entities for planning, budgeting, data and performance management. By integrating and harmonizing various development plans, the county would be able to implement planned projects within the overall CIDP, make adjustment annually and scale-up more effectively. 80 The county should continue paying attention to public involvement and citizen participation as key stakeholders in planning, implementation and evaluation of the development projects and programs. More so, the county should strengthen mechanisms to develop peer exchanges of information and lessons learned across the PPPs. Therefore, the CIDP and other county development plans remain relevant as the overall guiding frameworks for the integrated interventions to county political, economic and social needs. Within the context of the CIDP, a readjustment and refocusing of programmatic priorities will need to be done to inform the development of CIDP 2018- 2022. This is informed by the various stakeholders, mainly the county officers and public participation in development planning, specifically on evaluation and identification of new projects/ programmes. The county should seek to improve on service delivery and mobilization of funds in order to enhance completion of the PPIs. There is also the need for informed planning, efficiency and optimal utilization of county resources. The county leadership, both the Executive and the Assembly, should continue on the leading and facilitating role in the county’s response to societal needs. The focus should be on interventions, collaborations and deeper engagement in policy making and citizens’ participation in implementation of PPIs. Community participation and ownership in making decisions on the projects is paramount for their sustainability. Public private partnerships are urged to support the county in the efficient use and provision of resources to guarantee essential services, protect the gains and address the unfinished development agenda for the people of Tharaka Nithi. 81 Picture 5: Public Participation Forum for the CIDP End Term Review on 23/10/17 at Mariani ward public participation at Kaanwa market. 82 4.1 Preamble This chapter deals with county spatial development framework, development priorities, strategies and programmes and projects as identified by stakeholders in the county. 4.2 Spatial Development Framework The spatial framework describes the anchor within which development projects and programmes will be implemented. The framework covers the thematic areasas guided by the National Spatial Plan 2015–2045 which establishes a broad physical planning framework that provides physical planning policies to support the county integrated development planning since Tharaka Nithi doesn’t have a spatial plan. 83 Table 27:County Spatial Development Strategies by Thematic Areas Thematic Area Overview/ Current Status Policy Strategy Potential Lead Agencies/ (Development Geographical Areas Departments Priorities) 1 Industrialization Industrialization has started taking root with the  Establish the industrial zone Coffee - Giampampo, Physical establishment of Giampampo Coffee millers which near the source of raw material Tea – Weru planning, trade stands out as a County flagship industry and Weru availability, cheap labour and Banana – Mutindwa and industry, tea factory.

refuse removal, refuse dumps and solid waste disposal; implementation of specific national government policies on natural resources and environmental conservation, including soil, water conservation and forestry; and water services. The sector’s goal under environment, water services and natural resources is to increase tree cover percentage and ensure access to clean and adequate water for sustainable development to the people of Tharaka Nithi by 2025.According to KFS, the county has 19.4% tree cover. This surpasses the mandatory 10% requirement by the government because of the expansive Mt. Kenya forest in the upper parts. The lower region is hugely degraded hence prompting the department to roll out various programs such as tree nursery establish for seedlings development, reclaiming degraded areas and tree planting as well as conservation and protection of existing tree cover. Numerous community water projects have been initiated with support from development partners. The coverage status is: Maara Sub County is approximately 80%, Chuka /Igambang’ombe is estimated at 72% while Tharaka north and south sub- counties is approximately 50%. 4.4.2.1 Environment, Water and Natural Resources Sector Composition The sector comprises of Water Services, Irrigation, Environment and Natural Resources. 4.4.2.2 Environment, Water and Natural Resources Sector Vision and Mission  Vision: Clean and secure Environment with sustainable exploitation of water and other natural resources.  Mission: To promote, conserve and protect the environment and other natural resources and increase water coverage for sustainable development. 4.4.2.3 Environment, Water and Natural Resources Sector Goal To increase tree cover percentage and ensure access to clean and adequate water for sustainable development. 101 4.4.2.4 Environment, Water and Natural Resources Sector Development Needs, Priorities and Strategies Water & Irrigation Development Priority Strategy need Access to clean Domestic water  Harnessing groundwater safe water  Rainwater harvesting  Encourage planting of vegetation cover on the riparian land to conserve and enhance the rivers  Development of domestic water supply systems  Metering for efficiency use  Water resource management  Good water governance practices  Integrated Water Resource management (IWRM) Irrigation and Irrigation water  Rainwater harvesting drainage  Development of Irrigation water supply infrastructure systems  Metering for efficiency use Wastewater Towns and  Construction of wastewater management Management Urban centres facilities (Sewerage systems) and pollution (Urban  Exhauster facilities control population) (Adequate Sanitation) Environment and Natural Resources Waste Solid waste  Establish dumpsite management management  Provide litter bins and pollution control Climate change Climate change  Training and capacity building mitigation  Dissemination of information  Carbon credit  Early warning systems  Domestication of nationa and international policies, laws and treaties in climate change  Water resource management  County climate change policy, policy and strategy  Mainstreaming climate change in all sectors; programmes and projects.  Climate change champions Access to clean Protection and  Tree planting campaigns in farm lands, hills, and health conservation of river riparian and institutions. environment natural  Tree seedlings management 102 environment  Soil and water conservation  Environmental impact assessments and audits Access to Mapping and  Exploration and Exploitation mineral quantification resources 103 Table 30: Environment, Warter and Natural Resources Sector ProgrammesE SUB-SECTOR WATER AND IRRIGATION Programme 1: Domestic Water Supply Objective (s): Increase Access to clean & safe water Outcome (s) Increased domestic water availability Sub- Key Performance Key outcome Baseline Planned Targets programme Indicators 2018/19 2019/20 2020/21 2021/22 2022/23 Total Budget (Kshs.

For successful implementation of the CIDP that will result to high performance, all the institutions and actors in the county should be fully involved in the implementation of strategies, programmes, projects and initiatives; and effective communication between all stakeholders. Key components that require consideration during CIDP implementation process include county policies, people management, conflict management, institutional structure, systems, culture, resource requirements, mobilization and allocation. This chapter covers two main components, the institutional framework and the resource in terms of requirements, mobilization, allocation, estimated resource gap and measures of addressing it. 5.2 Institutional Framework The institutional framework represents the organizational structure comprising of the roles of major players and various levels of authority in the county that will be followed in the CIDP implementation.The framework clearly shows the linkagesof County Executive and Assembly with other stakeholders such as the National Government, the Civil Society, Development Partners, PBOs and FBOs among others. The successful CIDP implementation of the development programmes and projects is heavily dependent on total commitment and inner-drive from all stakeholders at all levels. In the light of this, continuous training and development will be undertaken to equip public 165 county officers with relevant and suitable skills to effectively address the citizens’ needs and expectation. The County through its Departments will also fast-track and fully embrace best practices, emerging management tools and techniques. As noted in the county’s core values, integrity and inclusiveness-approach to service delivery will enhance the culture of quality and efficient service delivery. Stakeholder participation will be inculcated through effective communication and strong inter-personal relations. The County’s organizational structure and information flow is organized in a way to deliver the longevity intent for the county for the planning period 2018-2022 and beyond. The organizational structure is mainly an explicit and implicit institutional rules and policies designed to provide a structure where various work roles and responsibilities are delegated, controlled and coordinated. The development of structures for the County Government of Tharaka Nithi is based on the Constitution of Kenya, 2010 which stipulates a number of conformities, notable among them being: checks and balances; cooperation and linkages; democracy and participation up to the grassroots; and access of services by citizens to the extent possible. These considerations have provided the rationale for developing organization structures for the county. The overall organizational chart is detailed below. 166 Figure 4: Tharaka Nithi County Organizational Chart The role played by various stakeholders such as the Citizens, National Government, the Civil Society, Development Partners, PBOs and FBOs among others is stipulated in table 39 below: 167 Table 40:Role of Stakeholders in CIDP Implementation STAKEHOLDER ROLE Citizens  Community participation on policy formulation County  Approval of CIDP Assembly  Oversight of CIDP implementation of programmes and projects  Passing of relevant bills  Political goodwill  Budgetary allocation National  Provides policy direction, financial resources and technical support Government in the various sectors  Funding  Capacity building  Legislation of laws that safeguard the interest of the County  Policy direction  Secondment of qualified personnel Judiciary  Enforcement of the law Other County  Collaboration on….. governments NGOs and Civil  Support government development efforts and assist in provision of Society resources  Advocacy Private Sector  Partner with government to invest and provide capital to drive and Financial development in the sector Institutions (e.g.  Corporate Social Responsibility Commercial Banks, SACCOs MFIs) Development  Liaison in formulation of sector policies partners (e.g.  Support sector development programmes and projects USAID, Plan  Capacity building International,  Create linkages with international donors UNDP, GIZ….)

Rapid population growth is expected to exert pressure on the existing infrastructure and other services. At the same time, population growth is an opportunity for revenue growth and abundance of human competences to steer the economic growth. This necessitates the county to embark on revenue mobilization strategies as detailed below. 5.4.1 Revenue Raising The resources expected from own-source, the equitable share of national revenue, expected conditional grants from National Government or Development Partners as well as the Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) arrangement are projected below.

To address this, the county intend to institute automated revenue collection system and eliminate the manual system. The receipt issued to the Cess payers will be generated from a hand held gadgets. At the end of collection period, the data from hand held gadget will be downloaded into a computer and itemized collection list is generated. This is then reconciled to the actual collection. b) Set up a comprehensive, optimal and sustainable structure that covers all areas and revenue centres. In the county, there are inadequate personnel for revenue collection. Where there are collectors, there is poor supervisions and enforcement. The county will determine the optimal staffing level in all facet of revenue collection and ensure enforcement adequately resourced. c) Capacity Building - the county will offer training on revenue collection techniques. In addition, provide the staffs with appropriate tools and equipment for efficient service delivery which yield optimal revenue. For instance, the county government will acquire vehicles, motor bikes and bicycle in order to facilitate movement of staff. In computerizing the revenue collection, the staff will be provided with computers and proper stationeries, appropriate office space and general conducive environment to work. d) Incentive Programme for Revenue Collection- the county will introduce an incentive program matched by high but achievable target setting to motivate and hold staff accountable. Incentivizing staff accompanied by high but achievable target are known to improve productivity. e) Make a comprehensive review of the existing rates with view to adjusting it to a reasonable but sustainable level. Thecounty government in consultation with stakeholders will carry out a comprehensive review of existing rates. 171 f) Enhance transparency and accountability mechanism through maintaining registers and records. This will also involve preparation of monthly defaulters list. g) Ensure the enactment and enforcement of County laws (e.g. County Finance Bill). h) Preparation of County Valuation Roll for all urban areas. i) Sensitization of stakeholders to revenue generation. 5.4.1.2External Revenue Raising Strategies The county will continue to pursue the following eternal revenue raising strategies: a) Commission for Revenue Allocation Equalization Share The national government funding is capped at population (45per cent), poverty index (20per cent), land area (8per cent) basic equal share (25per cent) and fiscal responsibility (2per cent) of the national revenue released by the auditor general. The allocation is expected to gradually increase as more functions are bundled and transferred to counties from the central Government. The national Government funds are projected to grow by at least 20per cent per annum for the next five years. However this will depend on the criteria that will be adopted by the CRA and the amount that will be allocated to the county governments. b) County’s Branding and Marketing Strategies The county will enhance brand image and increase awareness of the county development programmes, projects and initiativesthrough coordinated publicity such as broadcasting media, documentaries and use of digital platforms (e.g. social media, website and e- marketing). More so, the county will enhance the communications and public relations office that institutes internal and external communications mechanism. c) Public Borrowing/Debt The county will be able borrow to finance key development projects from investment partners. To attract investments (from local and international investors) the county has to aggressively improve its key infrastructure to ease movement of goods and persons, communication and access to markets outside the county. The investments in infrastructure are expected to increase economic activity in the county, boost trading activities, and exploit the county’s enormous agricultural and mineral potential. Cumulatively, these activities will grow the county’s revenue base to support the borrowing. 172 The county borrowing will be maintained at a sustainable level and will regularly be reviewed through the annual County Fiscal Strategy Paper (CFSP) and County Debt Management Strategy (CDMS). These strategies will be submitted to the County Assembly for approval every budget cycle. Furthermore, the county government borrowing will be guaranteed by the National Government. This will provide an independent review to assure the debt is maintained at a sustainable level. d) Development Partners and Public Private Partnership (PPP) TNCG will continually embark on building strong relations with existing and potential development partners, non-state actors and other government agencies. The county will seek PPP in key strategic sectors especially in agriculture, health, education, water, environment, energy and natural resources. The county is expected to attract new and retain existing non-state actors in form of Aid, Grants and Bilateral development assistance. The county has a relatively large network of NGOs, PBOs, Civil Society and other Development Partners, especially on the semi-arid region of the county. With the development of this plan, these non-state actors are expected to identify development priorities to support programmes, projects and initiatives. As a government, the county will provide coordination to avoid duplication and assure sustainability of the development programmes and transformative projects in the medium-term and long- term. e) Citizens Participation With citizens’ participation mechanism in county planning and budgeting processes already instituted, there is assured programmes and projects validation and ownership. Therefore, the community is keen to see the implementation of the development programmes and thus will provide human resources, pay for relevant county fees and charges in addition to supporting transformative projects undertaken by the county government. f) Other Devolved Funds Devolved funds which include NG-CDF, Uwezo funds and Social Protection Funds are the other sources of funds for the county. This will be mostly implemented by the National Government but there is need for liaison and coordination by the relevant departments to avoid duplication. 173 g) Equalization funds The Equalisation Fund, created in Article 204 of the Constitution (2010) shall provide for basic services including water, roads, health facilities and electricity to marginalised areas to the extent necessary to bring the quality of those services in those areas to the level generally enjoyed by the rest of the nation, so far as possible. The driving principles for the Equalisation Fund that should inform legislative development, administration of the fund at the national, county and local level, as well as monitoring and evaluation of the fund include: (i) linking the determination of marginalised areas to marginalised communities; (ii) participatory project development and implementation; and (iii) hold the fund accountable for local-level tangible benefits. The best way to achieve these goals is to generate a targeted definition of marginalized area that does not depend on county boundaries and to operate the Fund like a grant making programme that responds to proposals from credible local actors. TNCG should follow-up on the implementation of this Fund to benefit the people of Tharaka Nithi 5.4.2 Asset Management A robust system of Asset management will reduce operating costs, raise cash and improve the efficiency of service delivery, enhance community life, and increase the useful life of available resources. County assets include land and buildings, motor vehicles, plant and machineries and equipment. The county government will compile a list of its assets according to the Public Finance Management Act No. 18 of 2012. New purchases of assets will be procured in accordance to guidelines provided in the new Public Procurement and Asset Disposal Act (2015), Public Procurement & Disposal (County Government Regulations) (2013) and Public Procurement and Disposal (Preferences & Reservation) Regulations (2011) to ensure that the county Government gets value for money in acquiring, using or disposing those assets. As a precaution the county government will carry out a re-evaluation of all county assets and compile relevant registers. The introduction of a Geographical Information System (GIS) will help in the management of the registers thus enhancing accountability. Enough funds will be allocated for regular repair and maintenance of the assets as well as carry out routine audits for verification. The county government will institute prudent asset management systems and processes as detailed below. 174 5.4.2.1 Strategic County Assets Management Plan A strategy for asset management covering the development and implementation of plans and programmes for asset creation, operation, maintenance, rehabilitation/replacement, disposal and performance monitoring to ensure that the desired levels of service and other operational objectives are achieved at optimum cost is an imperative for the County. Developing a strategic asset management plan is an essential part of any organization strategy, as it guides the purchase, use, maintenance, and disposal of every asset and organization needs in order to conduct business. The goal of every asset management plan is to define the use of assets in order to streamline productivity and delivery with minimal loss of capital. An asset management plan will be coordinated with all major departments of the County such as human resources, research and development, logistics, and accounting. Each department will be accountable for the assets it controls. 5.4.2.2 Assets Management Strategies For efficient assets management the county will adopt the following assets management strategies: a) Development of county assets register b) Valuation and classification of all county assets c) Uniform and consistent reporting formats for financial sustainability performance measures d) Adoption of asset management accounting principles such as depreciation e) Disposal of obsolete assets as prescribed under the new Public Procurement and Asset Disposal Act 2015 or its amendment f) Timely and efficient repair and maintenance of assets to reduce wastage and breakages g) Purchasing and operating high quality assets that generate value for money to the county h) Allocation and application of assets’ system based on need and value addition to the realization of integrated development plan i) Sharing of assets among various county government departments to reduce on wastage 175 j) Safeguarding and protection of assets to ensure maximum security and reduce cases of theft k) Development and adoption of county asset management policy and law. 5.4.3 Financial Management Strategies The success of this plan will largely depend on the financial management systems and process adopted by the county government. The county government will therefore pursue the following strategies- a) Adoption of Integrated Financial Management Information System (IFMIS) in all county departments b) Enhancing budget and expenditure control mechanisms c) Adopting prudent debt management policy d) Adopting accountability systems through continuous monitoring, reporting and provision of timely financial information in accordance to accounting standards e) Adopting modern public accounting systems f) Ensuring compliance with public procurement policies systems g) Adopting efficient cash management system h) Strengthen local internal controls for efficiency and integrity i) Ensuring that there is adequate and qualified personnel in accounts and finance department j) Enacting necessary county financial management laws k) Collecting, processing, maintaining, transmitting, and reporting data l) Supporting financial planning/budgeting activities. 5.4.4 Debt Management Strategies The County Government’s borrowing plans remain anchored in the medium term Debt Management Strategy which aims at ensuring public debt sustainability. The strategy envisages possible borrowing from domestic and external sources. While external financing will largely be on concessional terms the county treasury shall continue to diversify financing sources. The County Government will ensure that the level of domestic borrowing does not crowd out the private sector. 176 In the context of the 2018 MTDS, the County Government is seeking diversification of financing sources through establishing a platform for exploiting the domestic debt market as well as international financial market. Therefore, through this year’s DMS the County Government will be able to borrow through concessional agreements and engage in other Public-Private-Partnerships (PPP) where debt is a consideration in order to finance development projects. However, it is important to note that non-concessional external borrowing will be undertaken in a cautious manner and limited to development projects. The Government will continue playing a key role in domestic debt market reforms to ensure the market remains vibrant and continues to deepen as it provides an opportunity for the private sector participation in accelerating the economic activities of the country. 5.4.5 Capital Financing The capital projects as well as development programmes in this plan will be funded through budgetary allocation by the County government. Tharaka Nithi County Government commit at least 30% of all its resources (locally and externally raised resources as well as allocation by CRA from National government) to developmentto steer holistic growth. Any Private Public Partnership by the county government requires approval from the cabinet secretary in charge of the Parent Ministry. Programmes and projects identification and prioritization in this CIDP have been undertaken within the framework of public participation and best practices globally. Furthermore, the county will undertake capital financing strategies to include the following: a) Asset liquidation and leasing b) Asset-based lending c) Equity negotiations d) Bank financing e) Government loans f) Identifying long term capital financing instruments g) Prioritizing infrastructure to be financed to minimize stalled projects h) Establishing and initiating public private partnership infrastructure funding instruments and mechanisms 177 i) Accessing affordable loans sourced locally or internationally 5.4.6 Accountability Accountability is anchored on effective public expenditure management during the CIDP implementation that will be guided by three goals, namely: a) Aggregate Fiscal Discipline – the county should not spend more than it can afford. b) Allocative Efficiency – Budget deliberations can focus on policy changes and become a powerful instrument for promoting the strategic priorities of the county thus prioritize and spend on the right programmes and projects. c) Operational Efficiency - MTEF provides “predictability” of department/sector budgets over the medium term and long term; thus departments are enabled to make and implement plans for the restructuring and improvement of their service delivery systems overcoming a precarious day-to-day perspective The county government will pursue the following operational financing and accountability strategies- a) Utilization of internal revenue to finance operational costs b) Maintenance of costs sharing in financing operational costs c) Efficient cash flow management to support operational costs and ensuring short term borrowing for cash balance management is applied only when necessary d) Minimizing operational costs in service delivery e) Compliance withstandards of financial reporting and control, and prudent management of risk f) Sound processes and information infrastructure g) Continuous monitoring of public expenditures vis-à-vis the intended benefits. 5.5 Estimated Resource Gap and Measures of Addressing It From the revenue projections against the budget estimates by sector, the resource gap and measures on how to address the gap are detailed below. Table 44:Resource Gap and Measures of Addressing the Gap 5-Yr Revenue 5-Yr Budget Estimates Resource Gap Measures of Addressing Projections (Ksh.) (Ksh.) the Resource Gap (Ksh.) Million Million 178 Million Development Recurrent Budget Budget 25,970,509,818 88,358,150,000 7,674,452,945 70,062,093,127 Obtaining supplementary budget funding from  Proposals to strategic development partners and affiliated organizations (mostly for transformative projects)  Loans and grants applications  Inter-county development programmes  Automated revenue collection for increases resources The resource gap represents the total deficit that is expected for all dockets for the CIDP II phase. It is attributed to the increased number of projects that will be lauched for capital intensive projects under infrastructure, water, healthcare and education. A substantial amout of the Kshs 70.062 bn shortfall will be addressed through supplementary budget proposals, loans and grants, external investment by neighboring counties, and county revenue which is expected to increase through automated collection systems. 179 180 6.1 Preamble The overall purpose of monitoring and evaluation (M&E) is to track inputs, activities, outputs, programmes/ sub-programmes and outcomes that have ultimately impacted the citizens in terms of service delivery during the implementation of the CIDP. It is a process of ensuring that resources are utilized in a prudent, responsible, transparent and cost-effective way as planned within the implementation and resource mobilization frameworks; and that programmes are undertaken as planned within the planned time frames to realize the stated objectives for effective service delivery. Specifically, the county will allocate at least 1% total sector programmes costs to monitoring and evaluation. The County will strengthen the County Monitoring and Evaluation Framework as outlined in the Guidelines for Preparation of County Integrated Monitoring and Evaluation System (CIMES). CIMES seeks to improve the effectiveness and quality of tracking of implementation of various development strategies, programmes and projects. The monitoring and evaluation objectives in the CIDP implementation of programmes and projects include: a) To facilitate Informed Decision-making Monitoring and evaluation will be conducted for performance improvement hence acting as “decision-oriented” evaluation. This will provide valuable insights into how the programmes and projects are being implemented, the extent to which it is serving the intended beneficiaries, its strengths and weaknesses, its cost effectiveness and potentially productive directions for the future. This evaluation will also provide the information for decision making thus helping to set priorities, guides the allocation of resources, facilitate the modification and refinement of programme structures; and signal the need for additional resources. Finally, it is also intended to determine change of course for programmes. 181 b) Effect – Impact Assessment This will be done to take stock of what has been done. It will attempt to show the cause– effect relationships between the programmes and the desirable change that may have occurred. It will also show how well the objectives are being achieved or have been achieved with the intention to feedback its findings into future planning. This will entail measuring and judging the impact of the programmes in relation to the planned outcomes. c) Accountability The sector programmes will be proactive by planning for evaluation right from the initial stages. The M&E planning accountability will entail an effort to meet the diverse information interests and expectations of all those who have a stake in the programmes(e.g. beneficiaries/ citizens, Executive, Assembly, development partners, State Actors & Non-state Actors). d) Learning Process This will seek to maximize on citizens’ participation. This evaluation will be a human- centred assessment of the extent of citizens’ participationand what is effect of the programme on thecitizens’ betterment of their livelihood. This is guided by the notion that to live is to learn, and to neglect lessons from life experience is to waste the life itself! 6.2 Data Collection, Analysis, and Reporting The county will reinforce the M&E institutional structure to monitor the inputs and activities in order to ensure that they are undertaken at the right time and in the most efficient and cost effective way. This will be done by involving all stakeholders in monitoring and set up a quality feedback mechanism. At the community level community project management committees will be set up. Here the committees will be involved in the daily monitoring for all projects in their jurisdiction. The committee will be elected by the community with the aim of mobilization of resources at the grassroots level. They will be responsible for preparing project reports covering management, 182 finance, implementation, constraints and recommendations which will be used to improve on Community Action Plans (CAPs) and propose further guidelines. At the sub-county level, Monitoring and Evaluation will be done by the Constituency Monitoring and Evaluation Committee (CMEC). The CMEC will be composed of heads of all sectors represented in the plan and other key stakeholders and will be coordinated at the Constituency Economic Planning Unit (CPU). The committee will monitor, evaluate and make quarterly returns to the Constituency Development Committee (CDCs) for authentication. The report will then be fed into the CIMES. One of the innovative way of evaluating progress in CIDP implementation at sub-county level is the Social Intelligence Reporting (SIR). SIR is conducted by Interfaith Network which is spearheaded by Inter Religious Council of Kenya (IRCK) that provides findings of the progress made in the implementation of policies, programmes and projects aligned to the Social Pillar of the Kenya Vision 2030. At the County level, Monitoring and Evaluation will be done by the County Monitoring and Evaluation Committee (CMEC) hosted under the office of the Governor and the Deputy Governor. The CMEC will be composed of heads of all sectors represented in the County, major NGOs and will be coordinated at the County planning unit (CPU). The committee will monitor, evaluate and make quarterly returns to the County Development Committee (CDC) for authentication. The report will then be fed into the County Integrated Monitoring and Evaluation System (CIMES). The County Monitoring and Evaluation Committee (CMEC) will improve and manage County Information Documentation Centre (CIDC) by periodically updating its information database. It will make an inventory of programmes and projects which will include quantifiable targets to be achieved during the planning period. The County Government will reinforce the Independent Monitoring, Evaluation, Reporting and Audit Department that will closely monitor the progress and compliance for all sector programmes and projects.The monitoring and reporting mechanism is tabulated below. 183 6.2.1 Monitoring and Reporting Mechanism Type of Purpose Frequency Responsibility Report to Report Who Annual Reports Detail annual Annual CECs H.E.Governor achievements of the Sector programmes vis-à- vis the outcome indicators; outlining the targets met, challenges and recommendations for the subsequent year Semi-Annual Provides mid-year Bi-Annual Chief Officers CECs Reports evaluation of the Sector programmes report Quarterly Details sector projects’ Quarterly Directors Chief Officers Reports status with regard to achievement of the targets providing opportunity for amendments Monthly These will provide Monthly County Directors Activities information with regard Technical Reports to various Sector Officers programmes’ activities undertaken in the month as per the work plan e.g. status reports. It should highlight the timelines met, challenges and possible recommendations Institutional Information on the Sector Quarterly CECs H.E.Governor Framework staff- the competence to Information deliver the CIDP Performance The annual performance Quarterly Directors Chief Contract Annual contract report provides and Officers& Evaluation the status of achievements Annually CECs Report attained by the individuals in the Sector annually. This details actual performance against targets contained in the performance contract 6.2.2 County Performance Management Plan As required by the County Government Act, 2012, Section 47 (1) the county executive committee shall design a performance management plan to evaluate performance of the 184 county public service and the implementation of county plans. The plan shall provide for objective, measurable and time bound performance indicators; linkage to mandates; annual performance reports; citizen participation in the evaluation of the performance of county government; and public sharing of performance progress reports. In addition, H.E. Governor shall submit the annual performance reports of the county executive committee and public service to the county assembly for consideration. The CIDP will inform the ADPs which is the basis for execution of the sector programmes and projects. This informs the performance contracting with the County Government. Each department shall thereafter derive their operational guidelines and activities (Departmental Work Plans) as stipulated in the ADP which will then be cascaded downward to individual work plans. Ultimately, the Individual Work Plans will be the basis for performance appraisal. This is depicted in the diagram below: CIDP ADPs Performance Contracts Departmental Work Plans Individual Work Plans Performance Appraisal The basis of choice shall be guided by the strategies, programmes, sub-programmes, objectives, outcomes that the sectors seek to undertake during the CIDP implementation. The Departmental Work Plans shall be used to outline the milestones and deliverables as well as their respective due dates for the activities for which they take lead responsibility. From the milestones, deliverables and due dates, monitoring sheets for each department will be prepared. The monitoring sheets will form the basic tool for M&E of the ADPs. 185 6.2.3 Midterm and End Term Review As per the guidelines for mid tem and end-term review from MoDP, the county will undertake evaluation in two stages; Midterm Review and End-term Review. By 2020, the county should conduct Midterm Review which is the mid-planning period to access overall performance over the period against the expected results. The review will assess the programmes undertaken, achievement of objectives, strategies and target outcomes to inform the adjustment of the CIDP for the 2nd half of the implementation of the plan. The consecutive adjusted plan is not expected to take major deviations after the review. However new priority programmes and projects may be added. Finally, at the end of the period, 2022, the county will undertake end term review to determine the overall success of the CIDP in achievement of the objectives and desired outcomes that have an impact on the citizens; take note of lessons learnt and recommendations to the next planning period. The evaluation of the sector programmes and projects will be guided by the international best practice and criteria comprising of five(5) principles namely: relevance, effectiveness, efficiency, sustainability and strategic alignment. 6.3M&E Outcome Indicators The monitoring and evaluation of outcome indicators by sector shows the results matrix that summarisesthe programme outcome indicators and targets. This allows the implementers and decision-makers alike to assess progress towards the various county development priorities. Table 44details the CIDP Results Matrix for all the sector programmes. 186 Table 45: Summary of M&E Outcome Indicators Programme Sub-Programme Outcome Indicators (KPA) Baseline Source of Situation in Mid-term End-term Reporting Data (for 2018 Targets Targets (2022) Responsibi baseline) (Conduct (2020) lity Survey to Determine) 1.1 Crop Cereals & pulses No of bags/Ha 5 bags/ ha County 18 28 Production production Data, 2017 No. of Ha under crop 25,000ha 25,500Ha 26,000 No of Bags/ Ha 15bags/ha 26bags/ha 35bags/ha % decline in post-harvest 30% 20% 10% losses County Volumes sold 100mt 200mt 300mt Director, No of community grain 6 grain stores 9 10 Agricultur storage facilities e Number of farmers 10% 40% 60% accessing subsidized fertilizer and planting materials Cash Crop No. Of Ha under Cotton 20ha 100ha 150ha Production No of Kg/ tree under 2kgs 8kgs 15kgs coffee Ha.

The Constitution seeks to shift government from centralized to decentralized, and from ‘top-down’ to ‘bottom-up’. Strengthening public participation is a core element in Kenya’s development agenda to accelerate growth and address long-standing inequalities in economic opportunities, investment, and service delivery in different parts of the country. Citizen participation in governance and public service delivery is increasingly pursued in a bid to improve the performance of governments. Indeed, improving delivery of public services continues to be a key objective that has occupied the agenda of public administrators. Decentralization has involved ‘the transfer of administrative, fiscal and political powers and functions of the national government to county governments. Kenya has a good foundation to strengthen participation in both national and county governments. The space for citizen-state interaction continues to expand; the county governments have gained significant experience deploying participatory tools and approaches. Critical determinants of devolution’s success are how well counties develop systems that ensure they are responsive and accountable to the needs of members of the public. It is in the light of this Tharaka Nithi County undertook citizen participation during the preparation of the 2nd generation CIDP 2018-2022 in order to get their views on the programmes, projects and initiatives (PPIs) to be included in the CIDP. Public participation was held at the ward levels to collect views on programmes projects and initiatives to be included in the 2nd generation CIDP 2018-2022. This was conducted as from 23rd October 2017 to 25th October 2017 in the 15 wards of Tharaka Nithi County. This was done at a central place in each ward. The participants were invited through the media both local and national. Since it was an open forum, all residents were invited. All those who turned up for the exercise were from different geographical regional and were gender balanced. During the public participation a number of programmes and projects were identified by the citizens. A standard tool that had been prepared by the Technical Working Group was used to get the information and inputs from the public. All the proposals from the 15 wards were compiled together to form a public participation report which was the source of programmes and projects in the 2018-2022 CIDP. 364 The decisions on the priorities were through consensus.
