It also enumerates regulate sprawling of unplanned structures and how Spatial Plans will meet the regulatory and facilities along roads and in protected areas. developmental functions in the county. This chapter also presents the geographical guide to the Elgeyo Marakwet County government on 3.1 Spatial Planning the types of activities that can be accommodated Space is critical for any form of development and on a given piece of land. It also highlights the hence, there is need to recognize and include amount of space devoted to those activities and the spatial framework in the Elgeyo Marakwet ways that buildings may be placed and shaped. County Integrated Development Plan. Land The objective of the spatial framework is to ensure is the primary natural resource which can be balanced development and physical organization adequate if and when all humans share and of land use, while optimizing productivity for use it well without selfish socio-economic and the economic growth and betterment of the political interests that blithely lead to lack of land people. Under the new framework of devolved as a basic human right. Epic diversity of Elgeyo governance in Kenya, the county government Marakwet County demands that all stakeholders plays a leading role in the development of living appreciate, identify with and support spatial space for the county’s citizens. framework with its associated planning.

About 32 percent of the county is forested; physical planning. Necessary benchmarks with 16 gazetted forests spread out in most and standards for the regulations pertaining to parts of the county. The county has 147 urban zoning of land use, planning and classification areas and trading centres where farmers deliver of service centres including urban areas such their farm produce for sale. Many of them are as Iten, Tambach, Sergoit, Chebiemit, Chebara, unplanned and/or poorly serviced, including Cheptongei, Kapsowar, Chesoi, Chesongoch, widespread inaccessibility. Hence, proper Tot, Kapyego, Imnai, Kapcherop, Chepkorio, mapping and documentation of available county Kaptarakwa, Kimwarer, Biretwo, Rimoi, will be resources for ease of harnessing is vital.

The management and capacity building systems for key lesson learned is that the involvement of county government staff to deliver on work plan the key stakeholders throughout the budget targets and reporting requirements to secure making process has been weak particularly at subsequent funding and ensure value for money the devolved level and that the MTEF Sector in development implementations. Working Groups (SWGs) which provide an entry point for stakeholders’ participation in budget In meeting the requirements of the Public making process has only existed at the national Finance Management Act 2012, the county level thus leading to a lack of an institutionalized government will develop and maintain computer framework for public participation in the budget based financial management systems to making process. enhance efficiency and transparent financial disbursements and management.

The other projects and innovative research, sustainable livestock that were identified by stakeholders but not and fisheries development, growth of a viable prioritized but can be implemented by other cooperatives sub sector, equitable distribution donors are listed in Annexure B. and sustainable management of land resources.

The chapter also gives mission and vision of each sector and the stakeholders involved in the 7.1.3 Sector sub-sectors project impementation and their roles. The Sector comprises of several sub-sectors which include; Agriculture sub-sector, Livestock Development sub sector, Fisheries Development 7.1 Agriculture and Rural Develpoment sub-sector, Lands sub-sector, and Cooparative development sub sector. 7.1.1 Introduction The county’s economy and livelihood is driven by agriculture which include crop, livestock 7.1.4 County Response to Sector Vision production and fisheries which is depended and Mission on by over 76% of county’s rural population. The county is predominantly agricultural and However, fisheries is new venture and still at a this will be fully harnessed to produce adequate very low scale with alot of potential. Agriculture food, create employment and conserve natural also provides food and income to urban resources. The community, county Government population through trade.

Small-scale farmers upgrade dairy breeds completing groundnut will be encouraged to diversify especially into processing mill, coffee bulbing/milling and horticulture, fruit production and explore venturing establishment of abbortours in Kerio valley and into external markets. The fisheries development linking to output markets. The fish value chain sub-sector will be developed and sustainable fish will be promoted to ensure high consumption of farming and consumption of fish for household- fish in the county and regular supply of fingerlings nutritional food security will be enhanced. An through establishment of breeding centre within intergrated produce marketing, farm input supply, the county. credit facilities and training of farmers will be developed through co-operative sub-sector. For the agriculture sector to be enhanced in the county, cooparative development should The county has two major agro-ecological zones, be strengthened.

In both zones, Livestock value chain will be priority and will include Dairy in the highlands and Beef and Goats in the low lands. These value chains will be promoted as priority projects in every ward to boost agricultural growth and overall livehoods in the county.

The Value Chains will cover from supply of quality planting material, production and management, farmer technical training, processing (value addition), marketing, rural access, input access, linkage with the private sector for establishement of processing factories and international An irrigated farming activity in the county marketing opportunities.

Education Sector has been and is still the key sector/pillar in the socio-economic transformation

112 7.2.4 County Response to the Sector Vision and Mission This subsector will be a key pillar to other sectors as it translates the knowledge gained from schooling into informed decisions that helps in catapulting the other sectors of the economy. This will be achieved through provision and facilitation of education and training, through enhanced school enrolment, minimized drop-outs and revamping of adult-learning in the County. The key issue should be the improvement of learning environment and provision of facilities to improve on the quality of performance in KCPE and KCSE and also better the transition rates to university.
