REPUBLIC OF KENYA COUNTY GOVERNMENT OF KITUI FIRST COUNTY INTEGRATED DEVELOPMENT PLAN 2013- 2017 Planning for Sustainable Socio-Economic Growth and Development Towards a Globally Competitive and Prosperous Nation County Vision To be a prosperous county with vibrant rural and urban economies whose people enjoy a high quality of life County Mission To provide effective county services and an enabling environment for inclusive and sustainable socio-economic development and improved livelihoods for all i FOREWORD This County Integrated Development Plan (CIDP) will be critical in laying a firm foundation for the sustainable development of our county. Effective implementation of the plan will be pivotal in nurturing an inclusive enabling environment with vibrant rural and urban economies that will deliver prosperity and a high quality of life for all. The Plan forms the basis for projects and programmes’ planning, policy, and budgeting over the 2013-2017 plan period. The five year CIDP is aligned to the Constitution of Kenya 2010, Kenya Vision 2030 and Medium Term Plan II. The Plan is also informed by the experiences on the implementation of past global and national policies such as the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), the Economic Recovery Strategy for Wealth and Employment Creation (ERS) (2003-2007 and the First Medium Term Plan (MTP I) for the 2008-2012 period. The CIDP aims to build on these experiences to establish a strong base and framework for sustainable socio-economic development for the county. The CIDP seeks to address the myriad development challenges of the county that include: food insecurity; water scarcity; low prioritization of preventive health care, low education standards; low access and adaptation of modern information, communication and technologies (ICT); low electricity and power connectivity, unexploited mineral wealth, untapped tourism potential, inadequate frameworks for nurturing talents, skills and innovation; poor savings and investment culture; weak commercial and industrial base; ineffective public mobilization and participation; poorly planned and lit urban centres; weak socio-economic linkages between rural and urban areas; poor roads and transport infrastructure; an inadequate and poorly mapped revenue resource base; inadequate institutional stakeholder mapping and coordination; insufficient human resource capacity; youth unemployment and inequitable development and marginalization; among others. Chapter Seven of the CIDP provides the strategies for addressing the identified challenges. The modalities adopted include detailed projects, programmes and strategies to be implemented by respective county ministries and departments to realize the desired socio-economic development over the plan period. Further, the county has been organized into six Economic and Investment Zones (EIZs) with varied economic endowments and distinct comparative advantage. The Economic and Investment Zones are designed to realize the following key objectives and to position Kitui County as: a) An economic unit where a high quantum of GDP is generated; b) An attractive place for industrial investors and business ventures anchored on the natural and other resources within the county; c) A place where a wide range of skilled, semi-skilled and unskilled employment opportunities are created; d) A source of wealth creation for its people and the country at large; and e) A place where people enjoy a high quality of life in a clean and safe environment. The Economic and Investment Zones (EIZs) are: 1) the Mui Basin EIZ, whose main potential is the coal mining and associated coal power generation and industrial potential. Its other potential growth industries include agriculture and livestock farming; 2) the Ikutha – Mutomo – Kanziko EIZ, whose main potential industries are mining of limestone, iron ore and other precious stones, livestock, tourism and trade links with the neighbouring Makueni and Tana River counties; 3) the Mumoni – Kyuso – Tseikuru EIZ which has huge potential for irrigation, livestock, tourism, ii cement manufacturing and mining of a variety of precious stones; 4) the Kanyangi – Kwa-Vonza – Kanyoonyoo EIZ, whose economic potential includes being home to two universities, very large quantities of stones sufficient to support ballast crushing plants, livestock farming, horticulture, tourism, and is ideal for the development of a market hub that can serve five different counties; 5) the Mwingi Town and Environs EIZ whose potential includes its proximity to the Mui Coal Basin and as a transit stopover town on the Nairobi-Garissa highway. It is also an educational, commercial and financial centre within the Lamu Port - South Sudan Ethiopia Transport (LAPSSET) Corridor; and 6) the Kitui Town Environs EIZ, whose main potential arises from its being the county headquarters as well as a commercial, financial, medical, educational, sports, tourism, transport and ICT services hub. Finally, it is important to emphasize that the successful implementation of this CIDP requires the dedication and commitment of all stakeholders. Thus, whereas it is the primary duty of the County Government of Kitui to coordinate the implementation of this CIDP, participation and cooperation from all stakeholders will be pivotal in its realization. I am therefore confident that if we all join hands and work as a team, within the next five years the county will lay the requisite solid foundation for sustainable socio-economic development and improved livelihoods for all. Dr Julius M. Malombe GOVERNOR, KITUI COUNTY iii PREFACE The preparation of the County Integrated Development Plan took a great deal of effort and I wish to acknowledge the contribution of those who made the preparation of the plan a success. I would wish to first and foremost thank His Excellency Dr. Julius M.

    Towards Sustainable Charcoal Production and Trade in Kitui County Phosiso Sola1, Mieke Bourne1, Mary Njenga1, Anthony Kitema2, Siko Ignatius1 and Grace Koech1

    CIFOR infobriefs provide concise, accurate, peer- reviewed information on current topics in forest research No. 297, September 2020 DOI: 10.17528/cifor/007721 | cifor.org Towards sustainable charcoal production and trade in Kitui County Phosiso Sola1, Mieke Bourne1, Mary Njenga1, Anthony Kitema2, Siko Ignatius1 and Grace Koech1 Key messages • Woodfuel, particularly charcoal, is an important livelihood source in Kitui County, with consumption largely in urban areas within and beyond the county, where it is still a critical energy source. • While charcoal movement out of the county has been banned since 2018, trade has continued in some form because of inadequate support, guidance and regulation. • While briquette production has been promoted, it has not seen substantial demand. • Because charcoal production has continued, a sustainable charcoal value chain in Kitui County has to be explored, including i) management of woodlands and sustainable harvesting of trees, e.g. through natural regeneration and enrichment planting of trees on degraded private and public lands; ii) promotion of efficient processing and carbonization; and iii) efficient and clean cooking. • Current institutional arrangements for guiding, supporting and controlling the value chain activities and actors can be improved to enhance the sustainability, enforcement, compliance, capacity and competitiveness of local value chains. • World Agroforestry (ICRAF), Adventist Development Relief Agency (ADRA) and partners undertook a number of activities in Kitui County and more widely in Kenya as a whole to generate evidence, knowledge and policy options, and to facilitate engagement for more sustainable woodfuel value chains under the project entitled Governing Multifunctional Landscapes (GML) in sub-Saharan Africa launched in 2018.

We investigated the impacts of the reservoirs on people’s livelihoods downstream. The results showed a few positive impacts in the vicinity of the reservoirs and numerous negative impacts downstream (i.e. reduced flood-recess agriculture and floodplain pastoralism, and escalating resource-use conflicts). Inadequate stakeholders’ consultation during reservoir development was also observed. We recommend a detailed basin-wide socioeconomic assessment for future reservoir developments and controlled flood release to simulate the natural flow regime, thereby restoring indigenous flood-based livelihoods while retaining sufficient reserves for power generation. Keywords: River Tana; Kenya; communities’ perception; hydropower development; impact assessment; floods Introduction River basins are the cradles of civilization and cultural heritage. Ancient and modern civilizations first developed in the vicinity of great rivers due to the role of rivers in the provision of food to support livelihoods, inputs for industries, and by providing opportunities for commerce and navigation.

Readers may make verbatim copies of this document for non-commercial purposes by any means, provided that this copyright notice appears on all such copies. 107- ECONOMICS OF HARVESTING AND MARKETING SELECTED INDIGENOUS FRUITS IN MWINGI DISTRICT, KENYA C.M. Mwema 1*, J.K. Lagat1 and B.K. Mutai1 1 Egerton University, Department of Agricultural Economics, P.O. Box 536-20115, Egerton, Kenya. Abstract Constant droughts especially in the Arid and Semi-Arid Lands (ASAL) have led to recurrent crop failures and livestock losses. Households have therefore resulted to other alternatives which can provide both food and income. Trade in indigenous fruits contributes to livelihoods through income generation and as a safety net for consumption and income smoothing. This paper presents the analysis of economic returns from harvesting and marketing indigenous fruits and the socio economic factors that influence participation in trade of indigenous fruits. The results are based on a survey conducted in Nuu division, Mwingi District, where 120 randomly selected households were interviewed using a pre-tested semi-structured questionnaire. Logistic regression model, Gross Margin Analysis, and Benefit cost ratios were used during the analysis. Data was processed and analyzed using SPSS20. The Gross margins depicted harvesting of indigenous fruits for trade as a profitable venture. High benefit cost ratios of greater than 3.0 were reported in all the three fruits under study.
