The Annual Development Plan (ADP) forms the basis for all budgeting and spending of public funds. In accordance with the provision of the constitution section 126 of public finance management Act 2012, every county government shall prepare development plan in accordance with article 220(2) of the constitution. This will in turn inform the county budget estimates and establish financial and economic priorities for the county over the short term. The ADP is unique because it provides comprehensive guidelines in project identification, implementation and evaluation, it also facilitates proper coordination within the sectors in county government and other stakeholders in order to improve the well-being of the county citizens. In addition, the annual development planning framework formulated will enhance linkage between policy, planning and budgeting. The projects and programmes in the ADP were identified through various consultative forums at the county level as provided for in the County Governments Act 2012. This was done through public participation forums which included electronic media sessions through local radio programmes, MTP III consultations as well as those on the county Medium Term Expenditure Framework. At the beginning of every financial year, annual development plan will be drawn to outline projects to be undertaken during that year. It is my expectation that increased participation by a wide cross section of the people during identification, planning, implementation and monitoring and evaluation of projects and programmes will empower the people of Embu to their realize social, political and economic development.

The Annual Plan contains the strategic priority development programmes that shall be implemented during the financial year 2018/2019. This Annual Plan is therefore framed against a broad fiscal policy and reform measures underpinning the budget for the 2017/18 Financial Year, which outlines expenditure per priority programmes as well as allocation of resources to all Sectors of the County economy. The preparation of the Annual Plan made reference to Embu County Integrated Development Plan (2013–2018). The Plan is expected to provide the feedback necessary for carrying out the monitoring and evaluation of projects and programmes so as to enable informed evidence-based decision-making organs at the County as well as National level. It is also expected that successful implementation of the projects/programmes, contained in this Annual Plan will contribute to better delivery of County goods and services, employment creation, faster economic growth as well as poverty reduction in the County. vi CHAPTER ONE: INTRODUCTION 1.1 Legal Framework The Annual Development Plan 2018/2019 for Embu County is a major milestone that seeks to highlight county development priorities. The Plan 2017/2018 was prepared in line with the Public Finance Management Act, 2012 under section 126 (1) which states that every county government shall prepare a development plan in accordance with Article 220(2) of the Constitution which includes: a) Strategic priorities for the medium term that reflect the county government's priorities and plans; b) A description of how the county government is responding to changes in the financial and economic environment; c) Programmes to be delivered with details for each programme of (i) The strategic priorities to which the programme will contribute; (ii) The services or goods to be provided; (iii) Measurable indicators of performance where feasible; (iv) The budget allocated to the programme; d) Payments to be made on behalf of the county government, including details of any grants, benefits and subsidies that are to be paid e) A description of significant capital developments; f) A detailed description of proposals with respect to the development of physical, intellectual, human and other resources of the county, including measurable indicators where those are feasible; g) A summary budget in the format required by regulations; and h) Such other matters as may be required by the Constitution or this Act. 1 1.2 County Background Information Embu County is located approximately between latitude 0o 8’ and 0o 50’ South and longitude 37o 3’ and 37o 9’ East. It borders Kirinyaga County to the West, Kitui County to the East, Machakos County to the South, Murang’a County to the South West, Tharaka Nithi County to the North and Meru to the North West. The county is divided into four sub- counties, namely; Runyenjes, Manyatta, Mbeere South and Mbeere North covering a total area of 2,818.5 sq. km. Embu County depicts two distinct areas with different agro-climatic and natural characteristics. The upper area around Mount Kenya consists of Runyenjes and Manyatta sub-counties, while the lower part consists of Mbeere North and Mbeere South sub-counties. The county is traversed by road B6 (Makutano -Meru), which is the major transport spine and passes through major urban centres in the county such as Embu and Runyenjes. The County is served by six major permanent rivers which are Thuci, Tana, Kii, Rupingazi, Thiba and Ena. There are also some major dams which generate hydroelectric power for the country that are partly in the county. These include Masinga, Kiambere, Kindaruma and Gitaru dams which are situated along the Tana River. The most conspicuous physical features in the county are Mt. Kenya, Kiang’ombe hills, Kiambere hills, Mwea game reserve, River Tana, Masinga dam, Kamburu dam, Kindaruma dam, Kiambere dam and Gitaru dam. The 2009 Population and Housing Census recorded a population of 516,212 persons for Embu County consisting of 254,303 males and 261,909 females. This population is projected to rise to 577,390 persons in 2017 at population growth rate of 1.4% per annum. 2 The information can be visualised in Map 1 presented below showing the various sub-county boundaries and ward boundaries. Map 1: Embu County Political Boundaries 3 1.3 Demographic Features 1.3.1 Population Size and Composition The population of Embu County is estimated to be 577,390 people comprising of 284,442 males and 292,947 females as at 2017. This has been projected from the population census 2009 at a population growth rate of 1.4% per annum. 1.3.2 Population Distribution by Ward Table 1 below shows the population projections per ward. The most densely populated ward as per the 2017 projections is Kirimari Ward with 1525 persons per square kilometre, followed by Central Ward, with 841 persons per square kilometre. The least densely populated wards are Makima and Kiambere with 70 and 59 persons per square kilometre respectively.

Central ward has the highest population density at 841 per sq. km in Runyenjes sub-county with Kagaari South having the lowest at 292 per sq. km. Mwea ward has the highest population density at 195 per sq. km in Mbeere South sub-county with Kiambere having the lowest at 59 per sq. km. Nthawa ward has the highest population density at 219 per sq. km in Mbeere North sub-county with Muminji having the lowest at 83 per sq. km. The high density in Manyatta and Runyenjes sub-counties is because these are the agriculturally productive areas. On the other hand Mbeere North and Mbeere South are largely semi-arid with low population density. The rising population continues to exert pressure on land and other natural resources. Land sub-division due to rising need for settlement space affects agricultural productivity. Social amenities such as schools and health facilities lack adequate land for expansion. 5 CHAPTER TWO: RESPONSE TO CHANGING ECONOMIC AND FINANCIAL ENVIRONMENT 2.1 Introduction Domestic Economy The economy experienced a relatively conducive environment for growth during the first three quarters of 2016. However, the last quarter’s growth was undermined by a persistent drought that impacted negatively on the agriculture sector and a slower growth of the electricity supply industry, though to a smaller extent. The country’s real Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is estimated to have maintained growth momentum for the third consecutive year to expand at 5.8 per cent in 2016 compared to a revised growth of 5.7 per cent in 2015. Generally, the growth was well spread and robust in most sectors but subdued in a few. Accommodation and food services registered the most improved growth of 13.3 percent in 2016 from a contraction of 1.3 per cent in 2015. Other remarkable improvements in economic activities were realized in the information and communication sector; real estate; and transport and storage. On the other hand, construction; mining and quarrying; and financial and insurance activities registered the most notable slowdown in growths. From the demand side of the GDP, the growth was mainly driven by consumption in both the private and public sectors. Addition to fixed assets (Gross Fixed Capital Formation) contracted significantly, mainly due to a considerable decline in investments in transport equipment in 2016. Declines in investments in civil works and residential buildings also contributed to a slowdown in additions to fixed assets during the review period. Key macroeconomic indicators remained fairly stable in 2016. Annual average inflation was contained within the Central Bank’s target of ±5.0 6 per cent to stand at 6.3 per cent compared to an average of 6.6 per cent in 2015. The easing in inflation was mostly due to significant slowdowns in prices of transportation; housing and utilities; and communication. Transport costs were benefitted from a fall of 21.7 per cent in the international oil prices to an average of USD 40.68 in 2016. The Kenyan shilling’s performance against its main trading currencies varied significantly during the period under review. The Shilling strengthened against the Pound Sterling, South African Rand, Ugandan Shilling, Tanzanian Shilling and the Rwandan Franc but weakened against the US Dollar, Euro, and the Yen in 2016. On the whole, the shilling depreciated as reflected in the overall foreign exchange index which rose by 0.5 percent to 114.83 in 2016. The Central Bank Rate (CBR) was revised downward twice to 10.50 per cent in June and 10.00 per cent in December. The amendment of the Banking Act in August 2016 to cap the lending rates to a maximum of 4.0 per cent above the Central Bank Rate (CBR) resulted in a substantial decline in the interest rates during the month of September to 13.84 compared to 16.75 during the same month in 2015. However, there was a decline in credit to the private sector despite the capping of the rates. Overall, domestic credit growth decelerated from 20.8 per cent in 2015 to 6.4 per cent in 2016, with credit to private sector expanding by 4.3 per cent against a target of 6.8 per cent. The current account deficit narrowed further to stand at KSh 370.8 billion in 2016 after declining by 24.9 per cent to KSh 421.1 billion in 2015. In line with the improvement in the current account, the overall balance of payments improved to a surplus of KSh 13.1 billion in 2016 from a deficit of KSh 24.9 billion 2015. The fiscal deficit as a percentage of GDP is expected to rise to 9.9 per cent in 2016/17 compared to 8.6 per cent in 2015/16. 7 Tourism -Accommodation and Food Services (Hotel and restaurants) Kenya’s tourism sector is poised to record positive growth in 2017 as evidenced by growth in 2016. According to the World Travel and Tourism Council (WTTC) travel and tourism’s direct contribution to GDP was KES 225.9 billion (3.8% of total GDP) in 2015 and was forecast to rise by 4.4% (KES 235.9 billion) in 2016. In 2016, Kenya hosted over 200 global and continental meetings and high profile conferences. These included the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD), the Tokyo International Conference on African Development (TICAD), the Global Partnership on Effective Development Co-operation’s High-Level Meeting and the African, Caribbean and Pacific Assemblies Association. This saw Kenya cement its place as a key conferencing destination hub in East Africa The accommodation and food services sector recovered from a contraction of 1.3 percent in 2015 to post a marked growth of 13.3 per cent in 2016. Earnings from tourism activities grew by 36.8 per cent from KSh 84.5 billion in 2015 to KSh 99.7 billion in 2016. The number of international visitor arrivals rose from 1,180.5 thousand in 2015 to 1,339.7 thousand in 2016. Consequently, hotel bed-nights occupancy rose by 9.7 per cent from 5,878.6 thousand in 2015 to 6,448.5 thousand in 2016. The satisfactory performance in this sector was supported by increased activity in conference tourism that comprised of visits by heads of states and high profile conferences coupled with concerted efforts to market Kenya as a preferred tourist destination. Further, the sector’s performance benefited from the reversal of travel advisories and other programmes such as charter incentive programmes and waiving of visa fees. 8 Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries Activity in the Agriculture, Forestry and Fishing sector in 2016 were depressed compared to the performance recorded in 2015. The sector is estimated to have expanded by 4.0 percent in 2016 down from a revised growth of 5.5 per cent in 2016. The decelerated performance was attributed to unfavourable weather conditions especially during the second part of the year when the country experienced a near failure of short rains. Though there were notable growths in production of coffee and tea, the sector’s growth was dampened by considerable declines in production of food crops. Production of tea and coffee increased by 18.5 and 10.8per cent, in 2016, respectively. On the other hand, production of cereals and leguminous crops went down significantly in 2016. Specifically, production of maize declined from 42.5 million bags in 2015 to 37.1 million bags in 2016 while that of beans dropped from 8.5 million bags in 2015 to 8.1 million bags in 2016. Production of potatoes and drought resistant crops such as sorghum and millet recorded significant declines. The volume of exports of cut flowers, fruits and vegetables rose by 8.9, 5.4 and 13.1 percent, respectively, in 2016. This led to a 12.3 per cent growth in the value of fresh horticultural exports from KSh 90.4 billion in 2015 to KSh 101.5 billion in 2016. Performance of the sugarcane sub-sector was subdued by the dry weather conditions. As a result, the volume of cane deliveries declined from 7.2 million tonnes in 2015 to 7.1 million tonnes in 2016. The livestock sub-sector showed mixed performance during the period under review. The volume of milk production increased from 615.9 in 2015 to 650.3 million litres in 2016. The number of animals slaughtered increased markedly in all categories of livestock. 9 Manufacturing Sector The manufacturing sector recorded a decelerated growth of 3.5 per cent in 2016 from a revised growth of 3.6 per cent in 2015. The sector’s growth remained stifled in the period under review mainly attributable to underperformance of other sectors such as agriculture and electricity that provide inputs for manufacturing activities. The near stagnation in the growth of manufacturing was also manifest in the slow uptake of credit from KSh 290.1 billion in 2015 to KSh 276.7 billion in 2016. The sector’s growth was mainly driven by processing of food products that recorded improved performance in 2016 though with evidently low magnitudes. The bulk of the growth was primarily accounted for by the value of output of processing and preservation of meat, and processing of dairy products in 2016. The expansion of the sub-sector was largely attributable to increased off take of livestock in 2016 occasioned by dry weather conditions. The growth was also supported by an increment of 45.4 per cent in the output of processed coffee in 2016. However, growth in the manufacture of food products was curtailed by poor performance in processing and preservation of fish as well as processing of fruits and vegetables that posted declines in the period under review. Performance of the non-food sub-sector was varied in 2016. The sub- sector’s growth in output was mainly supported by manufacture of pharmaceutical products and preparations that rose by 25.7 per cent and manufacture of textiles and apparels that grew by 13.4 per cent in the period under review. Nevertheless, the growth was dampened by a significant drop in the output of manufacture of transport equipment at 27.4 per cent in 2016. 10 Financial Intermediation The sector posted the slowest growth since 2012 to stand at 6.9 per cent in 2016 compared to 9.4 per cent in 2015. The relatively depressed performance was mainly as a result of a decelerated growth of 6.7 per cent in earnings from banking institutions partly due to uncertainty associated with the capping of interest rates that came into effect in September2016. The sector’s performance was mirrored by the growth in broad money supply (M3) from 14.1 per cent in 2015 to 3.6 per cent in 2016. Similarly, expansion of domestic credit slowed notably from 20.8 per cent in 2015 to 6.4 per cent in 2016. Nonetheless, the sector’s growth was somewhat supported by the insurance sub-sector that posted a growth rate of 5.3 per cent in 2016 compared to 5.0 per cent in 2015.The underperformance in the financial sector was also manifest in the growth of credit to both the public sector and private enterprises. In 2016, growth of credit to the public sector plummeted from 24.5 per cent in 2015 to 9.1 per cent in 2016. 2.2 County Response to Changing Economic and Financial Environment The Government’s will focus on improving transport infrastructure (both by improving infrastructure within the county as well as links to the county). This will improve market accessibility hence facilitating ease of doing business within and outside the county. Substantial Government spending on infrastructure alongside foreign investment flows are sustaining this high level of growth. To further support the tourism sector, the county Government will focus on development of Mwea National reserve and the Mount Kenya southern circuit to boost the revenue basket of the county. 11 Agricultural value addition has also been identified as having the potential to act as a catalyst for the take-off of county’s industrial sector. Agri-business initiatives have received support from the Government. The Government is keen on targeting the youth who are increasingly considering it as a viable commercial venture. To improve efficiency in the manufacturing sector, the county Government has focused her resources towards energy generation and distribution, improving on ease of doing business, security, and revival of strategic industries such as macadamia, bananas, milk processing, and honey refinery development amongst others. Going forward, the Government shall intensify investment in these areas to unlock the County’s economic potential. Establishing and reviewing revenue laws including a robust Finance Act to support revenue collection, Automation of revenue collection, identifying new revenue streams, conducting regular/timely revenue assessment to give trends and review targets in revenue collection, training of revenue staff on customer care and other skills to enhance their capacity are among the key interventions that the county will focus on. The County Government will also continue to exploit areas that leverage the private sector to generate the much-anticipated wealth and employment opportunities as well as create an enabling environment that has favorable incentives to attract more investors. 12 CHAPTER THREE: MEDIUM TERM COUNTY STRATEGIC PRIORITIES Vision A prosperous County with Equal Opportunities for all Mission To ensure effective resource mobilization and optimization for Wealth and Job Creation Medium Term Strategic Priorities The medium-term strategy priorities are a statement of the organization’s direction. It will help guide our decision making around the allocation of resources and provide a focus on the organization’s overarching goals to ensure coherent and considered action. It is built around the organization’s mission statement, guiding its action across all its fields of competence. The Annual Development Plan will cover the following key Strategic Priorities Strategic Priority I: To improve efficiency and effectiveness of infrastructure Infrastructure development is one of the key strategic priorities for the County. In the medium term, the County Government will invest in infrastructural development which comprises of Roads transport; Energy; and Housing; programmes. The overall goal of the priority is to have a well-developed and maintained physical infrastructure for rapid and sustainable economic growth. The roads transport sub-sector is important for other economic activities to thrive. Roads development is closely linked with the environment given that drainage affects the state of roads and cost of maintenance. Over the medium-term, the sector's priorities include: improving efficiency and effectiveness of the infrastructure development process at all levels of planning, construction, expansion and opening 13 of access roads as well as construction of parking slots. The county government will increase its road network coverage with bitumen, upgrade surface roads and consistently maintain all the roads within the county to motorable levels. This will ease transport and access to markets for locally available raw material and produce hence create business and employment opportunities and sustain the county’s economic opportunities. The energy sub-sector intends to support and partner with other development agencies to ensure wider access to energy by households, institutions and businesses. This will attract investment and open up new opportunities for cottage industry and value addition, which will lead to increased employment and citizen participation in the County economy. The key priority projects in the sector include installation of streetlights and floodlights as well as conversion of existing streetlights and floodlights to LED. The housing sub-sector ultimate goal is to ensure that there is quality construction and maintenance of government buildings and other public works for sustainable socio-economic development. Strategic Priority II: To provide quality, affordable and accessible Healthcare The sector's goal is to provide equitable and affordable health care to the citizens. The sector plays a significant role in improvement of access and better health care for the citizens. As such, functions under this sector includes county health facilities and pharmacies, ambulance services, promotion of primary health care, licensing and control of undertakings that sell food to the public. Primary health care measures both at institutional and individual level will be prioritised in the health sector to contain the major diseases in the County. The county has made significant investments to construct 14 new facilities, upgrade, renovate and equip existing facilities to provide comprehensive health care. The continued quest by the county government to reduce maternal mortality is being fast tracked through completion of maternities across the county. Further, the operationalization of beyond zero campaigns significantly aids in further reduction of maternal mortalities. The completion of staff houses, patient wards as well as equipping existing health facilities is also a major priority. The Level 5 hospital is critical in provision of broad health care within the region. The continued expansion of the hospital will broaden the scope of services offered. This has positive ramifications not only towards accessibility but also will contribute to the county revenue basket. However, this also requires increased staffing levels to ensure that all the services are up and running. The key priorities within the level 5 facility include construction of the phased Badea wards, completion of Theatre block as well as construction of OPD and Casualty unit and waiting bay. Strategic Priority III: To improve accessibility to adequate clean piped water and provision of water for irrigation The sector goal is to promote, conserve and protect the environment and improve access to water and enhance sustainable use of Natural resources. The water sub-sector has continuously rehabilitated the existing water infrastructure through frequent inspection of the existing water system. Funding towards expanding water distribution networks continue being a priority so as to enable more households access clean water. Construction, rehabilitation and expansion of urban and rural water supply through drilling, rehabilitation and equipping of bore holes as well as de-silting of dams and water pans will continue being core in provision of domestic water. 15 All major projects and programmes which are being implemented under the county will undertake an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) before commencement. This is to ensure that there are no projects/programmes which have adverse effects on the environment. The planning will focus on formulation of water and sewerage management policies through county spatial planning and urban planning. Strategic Priority IV: To improve food security and transform subsistence agriculture to commercial oriented The Agricultural sector is the backbone of the County's economic growth, employment creation and poverty reduction. The sector contributes about 80% of the County’s economic production and contains multiple linkages with other key sectors such as manufacturing, wholesale and retail, transport and distribution and other service-related sectors. The objectives of the sector are to improve livelihoods of the people of Embu County. This is through promotion of competitive agriculture through irrigation, sustainable livestock and fisheries sub-sectors. The ultimate goal is the use of improved seed of the traditional food crops/drought resistant crop varieties which address the issue of food security better in the semi-arid will be promoted. There will also be continuous farmer training on ecologically sustainable land use methods and farming systems. These coupled with the harnessing of water for irrigation to improve the food situation in the county. This is expected to further improve the livelihoods and social wellbeing of the people.

The use of improved seeds increases both the production and productivity. There is continuous farmer training on ecologically sustainable land use methods and farming systems. These coupled with the harnessing of water for irrigation has improved the food situation in the county. Continued investment in general extension and capacity building to both farmers and staffs is expected to further improve the livelihoods and social wellbeing of the people. There has also been a concerted effort towards commercially oriented farming due to the reduced farm size by increasing the total yields per acre of land. The livestock sub sector has introduced better livestock breeds through continuous upgrading of the local breeds through cross breeding. This is greatly expected to increase productivity on livestock. Due to the increased demand for fish, local farmers will be sensitized on the best methods of aquaculture so as to make the County self-reliant on fish production. The increased fish production around the dams has necessitated the need to construct a fish cooling plant as well as a Trout 33 Fish Hatchery and Farm at Mt. Kenya to provide fingerlings for the farmers.
