Assistance Mission for Iraq WHO World Health Organization i Executive Summary Context The outbreak of the COVID-19 in Kenya in March 2020 prompted the Government of Kenya to put in place containment measures meant to stop the spread of the virus in addition to mitigating adverse effects of the pandemic. Although the virus started as a health issue it later morphed into a socio-economic problem. In order to respond to both the intended and unintended consequences of the pandemic, the government unveiled a series of measures meant to cushion both the economy and the citizen. In this research we focused on minorities and indigenous persons in Kenya for a number of reasons. Anecdotal evidence available suggests that Blacks Asians and ethnic minorities (BAME) are among the most affected by Covid-19 pandemic. In addition, the minorities and indigenous persons are traditionally domiciled in informal set ups such as forests hence they are unlikely to be considered by governments while conceptualizing mitigating measures against the pandemic. It is against this backdrop that the study sought to assess the impact of such government measures and responses on the minority groups and indigenous communities in Kenya. It is expected that, the findings of this study will go a long way in informing policy and advocacy interventions in respect of implementation of the rights of minorities and indigenous persons in Kenya. Methodology The analysis is based on a desk review and data analysis of the legislations, legal notices, regulatory and government policy documents besides analyzing the regular briefs and reports issued by the National Emergency Response Committee on Coronavirus; the Presidential Address on Enhanced Measures in Response to the COVID-19 Pandemic; Council of Governors’ Press Statements on Preparedness of Counties on COVID-19; and individual County Reports on the response towards the pandemic.. The study also benefitted from the input from the key informants who were drawn from the nine counties under the study. ii Key Findings • The study observed that the level of awareness among the minority group and the indigenous communities in Kenya remains low given that both the levels of government focused much in creating awareness about the pandemic in the usual ways without paying deliberate attention to the unique needs of the minority groups. • Further, the outbreak of the pandemic in Kenya exposed the existence of inequalities among the Kenya society. The government measures for mitigating the pandemic were largely targeting the urban population with no deliberate initiative to reach out to the minority groups and indigenous communities who are mainly located in rural areas and in particular, include forest dwellers. • In addition, the study found out lack of transparency in the usage of the public finance set aside for Covid-19 interventions both at the national and county levels. Reports of alleged embezzlement of funds meant for COVID-19 interventions besides cases of nepotism were also reported in the course of the study. • The minority groups and indigenous communities in the counties under review felt excluded from the covid-19 interventions given that most of those interventions targeted urban and formal populations yet most of the minority groups and indigenous communities are forest dwellers • The COVID-19 Emergency Response Committees at the National and County levels did not have a representation from the minority groups and indigenous communities. This ultimately led to a near exclusion of the minorities from benefiting from the government responses to COVID-19. For instance, an analysis of the Supplementary budget estimates for the FY 2019/20 for Nakuru County Government shows that the minority groups and forest dwellers in Mau East and Mogotio (Endorois) are not among the beneficiaries from the funds set

    REPUBLIC OF KENYA BARINGO COUNTY GOVERNMENT ANNUAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN 2016/17 County Treasury and Economic Planning AUGUST 2015 Annual Development Plan-2016-2017 i FOREWORD The 2016/2017 Baringo County Annual Development Plan (ADP) is formulated in the model of the current Medium Term Expenditure Framework (MTEF). The Plan is prepared in line with the requirements of Section 126 of the Public Finance Management Act 2012, and in accordance with Article 220(2) of the Constitution. The Annual Plan contains the strategic priority development programmes and projects that will be implemented during the financial year 2016/2017. The Budget preparation process in the Medium Term, adopted the Programme Based Budgeting approach, where the sector working groups in the county formulated their respective sectors’ budget proposals, policies and programmes with clear outputs, outcomes as well as performance indicators which are related to the achievement of the programme objectives. This annual plan is therefore framed against a broad fiscal policy and reform measures underpinning the budget for the 2016/17 Financial Year, which outlines expenditure per priority programmes as well as allocation of resources to all sectors of the County economy. Significant proportion of the County’s budget shall be financed through National Government funding while it is expected that the County Government and development partners shall bridge the gaps. The preparation of the annual plan made reference to key County and National Government Policy documents particularly the Baringo County Integrated Development Plan (2013– 2017), the Second Medium Term Plan (2013 – 2017) and Vision 2030, the approved County Programme Based and Budget (PBB) 2015/2016.

  • Value Chain Analysis of Grass Seeds in the Drylands of Baringo County
    Lugusa et al. Pastoralism: Research, Policy and Practice (2016) 6:6 DOI 10.1186/s13570-016-0053-1 RESEARCH Open Access Value chain analysis of grass seeds in the drylands of Baringo County, Kenya: A producers’ perspective Klerkson Okomboli Lugusa1*, Oliver Vivian Wasonga1, Yazan Ahmed Elhadi1 and Todd Andrew Crane2 Abstract Pastoral households are increasingly practising fodder production in response to forage scarcity associated with land degradation, climate variability and change. Understanding the grass seed value chain is a prerequisite for developing sustainable fodder production and guiding appropriate out-scaling in the drylands. This study investigated the producers’ perspectives on grass seed production, marketing and challenges faced along the grass seed value chain in Marigat Sub- County of Baringo County, Kenya. The results show that the dominant actors were the bulking and processing agents who provided inputs and were a source of grass seed market to the producers. The producers preferred contractual agreements that allowed them to sell their grass seed to markets of their choice. As independent grass seed traders allowed for seed price negotiation, they were popular amongst the producers and thus handled the most volume of seeds marketed. Drought occurrence, inability of existing outlets to purchase grass seed at times, together with low prices offered for producers’ grass seed were found to be among the challenges facing the producers. There is need to strengthen the fodder groups with a possibility of registering them as cooperatives for the purpose of collective bargaining for better grass seed prices. Keywords: Land degradation, Fodder production, Pastoral households Introduction and export demand for livestock products, particularly Livestock plays an important role in many developing meat (Tolera et al.
