CHAPTER ONE: INTRODUCTION, COUNTY STATISTICS AND METHODOLOGY
1.1 Introduction
1.1.1 Importance of Monitoring & Evaluation (M&E)?
The main purpose of monitoring in any organization is: To learn from experiences to improve practices and activities in the future; to have internal and external accountability of the resources used and the results obtained; to take informed decisions on the future of the initiative; to promote empowerment of beneficiaries of the initiative. Monitoring is a periodically recurring task already beginning in the planning stage of a project or programme. It allows results, processes and experiences to be documented and used as a basis to steer decision-making and learning processes. Monitoring is checking progress against plans. The data acquired through monitoring is used for evaluation.
Evaluation on the other hand is used to appraise data and information that inform strategic decisions, thus improving the project or programme in the future. Evaluation should help to draw conclusions about five main aspects of the intervention: Relevance, Effectiveness, Efficiency, Impact, and Sustainability.
The day to day importance of Monitoring and Evaluation include:
it provides the only consolidated source of information showcasing project progress;
it allows actors to learn from each other’s experiences, building on expertise and knowledge;
it often generates reports that contribute to transparency and accountability, and allows for lessons to be shared more easily;
it reveals mistakes and offers paths for learning and improvements;
it provides a basis for questioning and testing assumptions;
it provides a means for agencies seeking to learn from their experiences and to incorporate them into policy and practice;
it provides a way to assess the crucial link between implementers and beneficiaries on the ground and decision-makers;
it adds to the retention and development of institutional memory; Wajir County M&E Report 2014
It provides a more robust basis for raising funds and influencing policy.

Wajir County M&E Report 2014
The projects visited were funded by the above highlighted funds which was the first full year after county government was put in place following March 2013 general elections. Therefore it should be noted that most of the departments were not working optimally as setting up of some vital structures was ongoing.
1.3 Methodology Methodology is the systematic, theoretical analysis of the methods applied to a field of study. It comprises the theoretical analysis of the body of methods and principles associated with a branch of knowledge. Typically, it encompasses concepts such as paradigm, theoretical model, phases and quantitative or qualitative techniques.
For the purposes of getting in-depth analysis of the impact of the various projects undertaken by the county: the M&E team used various methods to gather the information & data required to generate the report and analyzing the data to generate this report. The methods listed and briefly explained below were used:
Stratified sampling was used in identifying the projects. All 30 wards in the county would be visited; at least one Administrative location which in all cases are settlement centers would be visited and gather information on all projects within the center across all the departments in the county
Semi-Structured Interviews was the primary method used in data generation. This method helped to gain information face to face from a small group, using a series of broad questions to guide the conversations, but allowing for new questions to arise as a result of the discussion. Annex I gives the lead questions used in this case
Direct observation was also used by the team. Most of the projects sampled were also observed directly to obtain useful and timely information by observing what people do, to help make decisions on improving projects. This method is critical to complement collected data, can be used to understand the context in which information is collected and can help explain results.

Microsoft excel has been used in the simple analysis done on the data to report the findings in chapter 2.
Wajir County M&E Report 2014
CHAPTER 2: FINDINGS
This chapter reports the findings after the analysis of the data collected on the projects visited. A total of 276 projects discussed with the community in 30 locations spread across the county. Annex II gives the various locations visited and the number of projects in each location with the general responses from the community. Each of the questions is analyzed separately and the findings below were derived.
2.1 Community awareness
Is the community aware of the projects done by the various agencies; and could they list the projects done by the county government.
Majority of those interviewed, close to a 100% of the respondents’ are on the affirmative there was only one case in Buna where the respondents were not sure of the source of funds for a road project. The community well aware of the various departmental activities and could confidently enumerate the projects and programmes funded by the county government.

2.3 Projects and community needs Does the project solve an existing problem or meet a community need?
The pie chart shows that 91% of the respondents feel that the projects done meet needs or solve existing problems of the community. Only 9% of the projects did not meet any needs of the society; it therefore shows that even where consultations was not done majority of the projects met some existing need in the community. Appendix II gives a summary of the responses on this question.

2.4 Employment creation
Did the Project / Programme create local employment?
95% of the projects generated only casual labour and in some cases supply of local raw material like water, hardcore and ballast: the main contractors were outsiders according to the respondents mainly people residing in Wajir town. Only 5% of the contracts were awarded to the local people.
Observation:
Most of the respondents are unhappy with most of the contracts going to those based in Wajir town.
It also came out that most of the building works are subcontracted to non Wajir natives; these subcontractors come with all laborers further locking out the locals.
Some respondents indicated that local labour could be more expensive than the outsourced labour thus complicating the possibility of using the local labour by the subcontractors.

2.5 Project Sustainability
Is the project Sustainable?
Most of the projects discussed are social projects; thereby the social need is considered to supersede the commercial sustainability of the projects. However, the M&E team identified three projects of commercial nature and tried to establish the sustainability of the projects. These projects include: Hay stores; Fresh produce markets and Community centers and are analyzed separately below and the reasons from the respondents listed in a table.
a) Is the Fresh produce market sustainable?
Project Sustainable Not Not sure Reason given location Sustainable
Arbajahan √ - - Large catchment area with farmers ENNDA putting up an irrigation scheme at Kara for fruits and vegetable production Strategically situated hence cannot be affected by floods Buna - √ - Unsuitable design
Wajir County M&E Report 2014
No interest from the target group yet
Eldas - - √ There are farmers around Not very happy with market design Makaror √ - - Situated strategically approx. 2km from Griftu stage market The population is large in the catchment area Township √ - - Large population in catchment
Hodhan - - √ Unsuitable site
Hadado - - √ Not in use yet and modalities of use not known though the traders have reserved space Korofaharar - √ - Unsuitable Design of the market Traders using it to sell clothes and cereals; not fresh produce Tarbaj - √ - Unsuitable Design of structure Badly situated Habaswein - - √ Unsuitable design No interest from traders yet

Fresh produce markets sustainability
Yes No Not sure
11% 22%
67%
67% of the respondents think that the fresh produce markets are not sustainable; the most common reason given is that the design of the structure is unsuitable for most places. The table above lists all the reasons given by the respondents. 11% of the respondents feel that they are not sure if the markets are sustainable; for example Habaswein respondents felt that the market could be useful in the long term but there was no interest from traders at that moment the reason being unsuitable market design. Only 22% of the respondents felt that the markets are very important and useful to the community. The only location outside of the wajir town comfortable and happy with the market is Arbajahan where the residents indicated that crop production is quite popular in the location and the larger catchment area. Kara was said to be in the process of receiving an irrigation project from ENNDA.
b) Hay Stores Project location sustainable Not Not sure Reason given Sustainable Griftu √ Community don’t understand how it will be working Buna √ Community don’t understand how it will be working Eldas √ Community not trained and equipped for pasture harvesting Korof Harar √ Community trained on hay harvesting
Wajir County M&E Report 2014
Hay stores sustainability
Response Yes Not Sure No Total
Absolute 1 1 2 4
Ratio 0.25 0.25 0.5 1
As indicated above in the pie chart; two locations (50% ) of the respondents feel that the hay stores are not sustainable. Reasons sited for the unsustainability are listed in the table above which include poor deisgns and luck of understanding on how the stores are supposed to operate. Eldas location (25%) feel that the store is sustainable if they are trained on hay harvesting and get equipment for the same. Only Khorof Harar (25%) believe they have adequate traing to make use of the stores; however in the short run they expect to get supplies from the relevant department.
Wajir County M&E Report 2014
c) Community Centres
The community had very scanty information on the details of the project. Griftu respondents felt that the location of the project was unsuitable – too far from the people. The other respondents did not have adequate information on how the project will be run and therefore could not respond on the sustainability.
Observation: it was observed that the identification, design and implementatuion of this programme did not involve the communities in all the location the project is being implemented.

CHAPTER 3: SUCCESS STORIES
During the financial year 2013/14 the county embarked on high priority and community focused programmes and projects. These were focused on bringing services closer to the people, reducing kilometers travelled to the nearest water point, improving maternal and child healthcare, improving county infrastructure, creating conducive business environment, improving learning conditions in ECD and polytechnics and value addition in Agriculture and Livestock products. These were attained through implementation of diversified projects by the departments as follows:
3.1 Roads, Transport and Public Works
The tarmacking of 25 kilometres Wajir town roads is one of the county’s flagship projects and with the contractors on site, the project once completed will change the face of county’s biggest town and business hub. The department spearheaded graveling of 204.7 kilometres, grading of 970.8 kilometres and bush clearing of 1276.40 kilometres which has helped in opening up most of the settlements as well as ensured the major roads are motorable throughout the seasons. In addition Public Works division supervised the construction of the on-going county headquarters offices and county assembly offices, six sub-county offices, 30 ward administration offices and all other county works to ensure only quality structures were constructed. Picture below show some of the developments in the county.

CHAPTER 4: RECOMMENDATIONS AND WAY FORWARD
3.1 Recommendations
1. It is evident from the summary of projects in Annex II that the county government has used the ward as a unit of resource allocation. 27 wards were visited, leaving out only 3, and projects are reported in all the locations in these 27 wards.
To further bolster this step, it is recommeneded that the wards and sub counties should also serve as the units of resource application. This will boost economic activities within the wards and ensure project sustainability by investing income generated from the projects within the local economies. To borrow from the National Government; the following threshholds could be useful in making the decisions.
Up to kshs 2,500,000 – the projects should be awarded at the ward level. Technical personnel can operate from sub-county level but still serve wards within the sub-county adequately.
Kshs 2,500,001 – kshs 5,000,000 – the projects should be awarded within the sub-county; technical teams from the county headquaters can offer technical assistance in projects that are complex in nature but fall within this threshhold.
Over kshs 5,000,000 – the projects be handled centrally at the county level. Considering the complexity of the projects within this threshhold.
The implementation of this proposal is expected to encourage enterpreneurship in the wards and provide opportunities such as job opportunities. The economy will also be spured especially considering that the governmnent is the largest consumer of skills, goods and services in the county.
2. There is an assumption of homogeneity in type and intensity of needs across the county; this assumption may work for social programmes in Health and Education. However, for the productive sectors like Agriculture, livestock, trade and industry; there is need to have technical teams at the sub-county level to design and execute programmes that are responsive to needs of the community and facilitate more efficient and effective projects and programmes. It is as a
Wajir County M&E Report 2014
result of this assumption that there are same design fresh produce markets and community centres attempting to adress divergent problems in the locations sampled in this report. This recommendation will also serve to consolidate the sub-counties and wards as units of resource application. Projects designed to directly respond to specific community needs are expected to be more sustainable.
3. 66% of the communities interviewed said they were not involved in project identification or implementation; in order to adequately and effectively involve the community, we recommend the use of existing structures. For institituions like schools and health facilities they have managemnet boards/committees, it is imperative to involve these boards in the project identification and implementation; a good example is a case in hadado where a contrator went to a primary school for renovation of three classrooms without involving the head teacher or the SMC even in identifying the three classrooms for renovation. Where there are no structures in place, lean project management committeess can be apointed with assistance of the ward administrators to serve as the link between the beneficiary community, the contractor and county officials. This will not only significantly improve the quality of projects but also allow minor adjustments to designs during implementation of the project to accommodate the dynamic needs of society. Project ownership will aso be achieved and enhance sustainability.
4. There is a 20% failure rate in the completed boreholes drilled; moving forward, this rate might increase as the water department ventures to more areas with bad history of ground water. It is recommended that for areas with possibility of ground water; the hydrological survey and drilling be awarded to the same contractor to allow for the authorities to hold them accountable in the cases of failure. This model was used in the Wajir South CDF 2012 and eliminated cases of dry boreholes even in places where water had never been struck.
Where there are no chances of ground water, mega dams are recommeneded which can serve a wider cathcment through distribution system. A good case is Bute region with very high potential of mega dams as well as Korondile which can then serve the entire sub-county through distribution and reservoir systems. For the long term solution; it is recommneded that a comprehensive water survey be carried out and a long term plan developed based on survey results to give a road map to sustainable water supply solution to the county. Wajir County M&E Report 2014
5. Incoporate Monitoring and Evaluation from early stages of project implementation: M&E should be incooperated from project identification stage to allow for application of M&E tools including cost benefit analysis in order to determine effectiveness, efficiency and sustainability of projects and programmes. It is also expected that this early stage M&E will allow for customisation of project/programme design to more effectively address the diverse needs of the community in different areas as stated in 2 above.
6. Strengthen systems and structures for monitoring social indicators: it has been almost impossible to effectively monitor social indicators in the county due to lack of accurate, timely and verifiable data on social indicators like distance to health facility, water; transition rates in education among others. The county team shall build an effective database of the social statistics that can then be updated timely through sub county DPUs either through technical heads forums or through visits to facilities by the sub-county teams. There is therefore need to strengthen the sub-county DPUs for this purpose.
7. It should be noted that the Monitoring and Evaluation exercise covered only county Government projects. The National Government projects including CDF projects were not covered as well as the local partners projects. Going forward therefore, there is need to establish a system whereby all projects in the county can be subjected to M&E. There is need for all development actors to come together and ensure they work together from project identification, funding and implementation. A County Development Committee and County Monitoring and Evaluation Committee including all these development players should be formed going forward which will enhance project quality and avoid duplication of efforts in project implementation.
Wajir County M&E Report 2014
3.2 Way forward
Implementation of the recommendations above will increase the impact of the projects implemented by the county government. This will especially be achieved since the recommendations are aimed at ensuring that all projects done are immediately put into use. There is a significant number of projects that can potentially be white elephants if they are not operationalised urgently. Progressive implementation of the recommendations and continous adoption of best practices is the solution to achieving the best results from resources the county governmnet intends to invest over time.
All the development actors should join hands with the county government to ensure all inclusive development and growth of the county. In this respect, all the actors should share their plans and projects with the county government in order to avoid duplication of efforts in delivering service to the county residents.
