1 Introduction

The European Union’s 2013 Communication on Local Authorities underlines the need to involve local authorities in development and implementation of key national development policies. The communication was emphatic that local authorities and/or sub-national units should play an important role in development programming and implementation in partner countries. The Communication, “Empowering local authorities in partner countries’ pointed out that the increased role of sub-national governments would enhance governance and promote sustainable development outcomes. This marked an important shift in development programming. However, many central governments have not marched their recognition of sub-national units with requisite resources and attention. EU now wishes to ensure that this commitment is reflected in future programming processes in partner countries.

1.1 The context

The EU Commission has concluded a new financing instrument, the Neighborhood Development and International Cooperation Instrument (NDICI) for the 2021-2027 period. The programming process will involve both the central/national governments and the sub- national units in identification of national development programmes, priorities, and strategies for this six-year period.

The integration of sub-national units in the programming process represents an innovative feature in EU’s programming process. This is especially because past initiatives focused on interactions between central governments and the EU delegation in partner countries. Sub- national units were considered non-state actors. However, the 2013 Communication recognizes the sub-national units as actors in their own right. It recognizes that they work as proximity public institutions beside the central government. They work on the principle of subsidiarity based on the key dynamics and interaction between the two levels of public governance.

This compendium of key reference documents provides an overview of key official national development policy documents, documents on devolution policy and progress of implementation; and an overview of the European Union’s Cooperation documents on Kenya. All the major reference documents are attached as annexes to this report.

1.2 Methodology

Several methods have been used to collect the data on which the analytical report is based. Collecting reference documents involved reviewing national and local level development policies. This assisted in identifying the critical documents for the compendium. At the same time, interviews were held with key informants in National Government ministries and County Government Departments. Notably, the Ministry of Devolution and ASAL; the National Treasury and State Department of Planning; and County Executive Committee Members responsible for finance and planning (over 20 officers attended the meeting), County Secretaries, and select City and Municipality board Chairperson and Managers. The European Union Delegation officers were also interviewed. These interviews served several purposes. One the informants provided information and recommendations on how the County Governments can best walk alongside the National Government to identify priorities for

1

Kenya. Secondly, some of the discussions revealed the type of documents required as references for the assignment. Nonetheless, most of the documents were provided by the Council of Governors (CoG), the Kenya umbrella body of County Governments. 2 Compendium 2.1 The National Development Policy and Strategies – Official Documents 2.1.1 Kenya Vision 2030

Kenya’s development policies are anchored on the national development blueprint, Vision 2030 (Annex I: Vision 2030), and the Constitution promulgated in 2010. The national development blueprint was launched in 2007 and is implemented through five-year development plans, the Mid-Term Plans (MTPs). The MTPs are in turn anchored on the manifesto of the party that forms the government after every five-year period. This coincides with the election period when the party that wins the election is required to form a government. The first MTP covered the period between 2007 – 2012; and the second covered 2013 – 2017. Kenya is currently implementing the third MTP running for the period 2018- 2022.

Vision 2030 seeks to transform Kenya into a newly industrialized middle-income country providing high quality of life to all citizens. It comprises three main pillars for this purpose:  Economic pillar: maintaining sustainable growth of at least 10% per annum for the next 20 years from 2020  Social pillar: building a just, cohesive society enjoying equitable social development in a clean and secure environment  Political pillar: An issue based, people centred, and accountable democratic system  Enabling interventions: cross cutting issues including infrastructure, ICT, public sector reforms and macro-economic policies.

Vision 2030 was prepared through an inclusive process but paid limited attention to political development. The policies on inclusive politics were not robust enough to integrate recommendations by the first NEPAD’s African Peer Review Mechanism Report for Kenya in 2006. At the end of the first MTP in 2007, economic development had picked up and growth stood at 7.1 per cent. However, a violent post-election followed a disputed election held in December 2007. This slowed growth and resulted in the making of a new Constitution in 2010. The Second APRM report on Kenya acknowledges the progress made in addressing some of the past challenges. It also identifies areas for greater attention in order to provide sustainable solutions to governance and development challenges (see Second Country Peer Review Report of Kenya, 2017).

Overall, there have been challenges in meeting this ambitious goal. Economic growth has been about five per cent on average from 2008. Growth has tended to fall around election time but introduction of a devolved system of government has also helped improve growth of local economies. Political divisions and organization of political competition along ethnic lines have continually constrained achievement of a just and a cohesive society. Absence of issue-based politics has been a challenge. There are new efforts to firm up a foundation for inclusive politics and by that prevent recurrence of conflicts at election time. The initiative to firm up this foundation is popularly referred to as the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI). There are several proposals to reform the Constitution, but these are yet to be debated and finalized.

2.1.2 Third Medium Term Plan (MTP III): 2018 – 2022

The present MTP will end in 2022 (Annex 2: MTP III: Transforming Lives – Advancing Socio-Economic Development through the ‘Big Four’). MTP III has identified the institutional and policy reforms required to transform various sectors of the economy in the period between 2018 and 2022. The government has specifically identified four areas for priority in terms of resource allocation and national and local level programming. These are: a. Improving the manufacturing sector to contribute to the GDP and contribute to growth, job creation, and poverty alleviation. The government specifically proposes to to support the manufacturing sector so as to increase the sector’s share of GDP from the current 9.2% to at least 15%. b. Improving agricultural sector to enhance nutrition and food security. This will be done through enhanced food production and supply as well supporting value addition in the food processing value chain. c. Providing Universal Health coverage by supporting access to affordable and quality health care for citizens. d. Providing affordable housing for citizens in low income brackets and by that improve their living conditions.

Progress in review of the MTP III is underway. However, there has been several challenges that have constrained progress in achieving some of the milestones. First, Kenya experienced a protracted election dispute in 2017 and the conflict spilled over into 2018 at the beginning of implementation of MPT III. The conflict disrupted many economic activities. Although this was resolved in the first quarter of 2018, the consequences impacted on many sectors of the economy.

Secondly, the Corona Virus Disease of 2019 (COVID-19) has disrupted the carrying out of many activities in all sectors. Transport and service industry in general; agriculture; trading; among others have been slowed by restrictions imposed to mitigate the spread of the disease and its consequences. This will slow economic development and, importantly, reduce government revenue to support development programmes.

2.2 National Sector Plans/Strategies

It is noteworthy that Kenya’s decentralization policy centres around devolution. The Constitution of Kenya 2010 transfers powers and functions to the County Governments. Fourteen (14) sectors are devolved to the Counties (see Box 1). Essentially, service delivery functions are the responsibility of the County Governments. These functions include health, agriculture, water services, pre-primary education, control of pollution, among others. The National Government is responsible for making policies on the delivery of these services. Below is an overview of the key sector policies. The County Governments, however, do sometimes formulate their own policies by domesticating the national policies to reflect local realities and needs.

The National Government is responsible for functions such as security, education from primary level, migration, and national public transport (other than County transport). Nonetheless, the Constitution provides for shared functions between the National Government and the County Governments. An example is disaster management which is a concurrent function between the two levels of government. There are also cross-cutting issues

3

that the National Government has control of. These include wellbeing of families, women, children, development of ICT, among others.

At the level of National Government, there are line ministries responsible for making policies and enforcing standards in service delivery. All ministries have developed their strategies and policy documents to guide implementation.

Agriculture (see Agriculture Sector Transformation and Growth Strategy, 2019-2029): the policy framework seeks to improve agriculture by promoting value addition in production processes. It also seeks to increase production in order to improve on food security. However, the responsibility for agricultural development lies with the County Governments. The policy making process set off earlier before the establishment of the County Governments in 2013. This resulted in further review of the policy framework when the County Governments were established in 2013. The policy framework also establishes mechanism for coordination between the national ministry and the County Governments.

Water (see: The Project of Development of the National Water Master Plan 2030): delivery of water services is also the responsibility of the County Governments. The national ministry of water is responsible for water resource management. There are several regional agencies under the national ministry responsible for water resource management.

Health sector policy (see: Kenya Health Policy 2014 – 2030): the policy provides for delivery of health services. It identifies the responsibilities of the national and the County Governments. It also provides for mechanisms to ensure coordinated approach to delivery of services.

2.3 Milestones in implementation

There have been challenges in delivery of services in these and other sectors. When the County Governments were established in 2013, there were challenges over interpretation of mandate and delineation of functions. Although the Transition Authority was in place to guide delineation of functions and facilitate costing of functions, both levels of government continued to conflict over mandates. Secondly, some National Government agencies have continued to perform functions which County Governments claim to be their responsibility. Given that ‘resources follow functions’, continued performance of these functions by some of the national agencies has meant crowding out resources meant for the County Governments. The Counties perform some functions without adequate resources because the resources are shared with and/or also allocated to the national agencies. Water services and agencies responsible for regional development are examples in this regard.

The above notwithstanding, there is notable progress in the devolved sectors. As noted in the State of Devolution Address by the Chair of the Council of Governors, agricultural sector has witnessed improvement under the support of County Governments. Maize production grew by 26 per cent in the period between 2018 and 2019. The Counties have also increased budget allocation to the sector from under 5 per cent in the period before 2018 to about 6.7 per cent in 2019. This is about 3 per cent short of the 10 per cent annual allocation recommended under African Union’s parties in Comprehensive Africa’s Agricultural Development Programme (CAADP).

4

The health sector has witnessed increased number of functional facilities in the period between 2018 and 2019. The facilities grew by about 10 per cent. Immunization coverage has also increased from 68 per cent in 2017 to 81 per cent in 2019. These trends owe much to delivery of services by the County Governments. 3 National decentralization policy: Devolution in Kenya

3.1 Historical context

Kenya has experimented with decentralization several times since independence in 1963. The country ascended to independence with a semi-federal form of government (majimbo, Swahili for regions). These were dismantled a few years into independence. In the early 1980s, the government again introduced a decentralized reform programme (deconcentration) called the District Focus for Rural Development. This policy framework focused on the districts as the administrative unit for making decisions on development programmes at the local level. Local authorities functioned parallel to this new initiative. Use of political patronage in allocating resources to development programmes, among other political considerations that favoured regions represented by politically powerful elites, diluted the significance of these reform measures.

In the 1990s and because of this experience, there were increased demands for comprehensive constitutional reforms to allow for inclusive development and politics. Efforts to make a new constitution and to provide a framework for inclusive development through decentralized reforms topped the list of priorities in these demands. Many of these efforts failed again owing to competing interests and competition over power by elites. The competition and divisions continued to cause conflicts until in 2007 when a dispute over presidential election led to violence that split the country. The violence ended when international mediation prevailed upon the disputing parties form a coalition government and to develop a road map for comprehensive constitutional reforms. The parties agreed to address grievances over development and feelings of exclusion by certain regions of the country. This led to development of a new Constitution which provides for transfer of power and resources to lower level semi-autonomous units, the County Governments.

3.2 Legislative framework 3.2.1 The Constitution of Kenya 2010 (http://kenyalaw.org:8181/exist/kenyalex/actview.xql?actid=Const2010)

Kenya promulgated a new Constitution in 2010. The need for a new Constitution arose from recurring conflicts and violence at election time. Much of this was the result of lack of inclusive politics and national development. The Constitution 2010 therefore sort to address this challenge by radically altering the structure of government and governance. First, it introduced two levels of government, national and county or sub-national units. It established 47 County Governments that are distinct but interdependent with the National Government. Secondly, the Constitution provided for resources to support delivery of services and development by the Counties. Thirdly, the Constitution delineated functions for both the National and County Governments. Finally, the Constitution identifies the objects and principles of devolution (see below). It provides that devolution of power and resources is a national value and a principle of governance (among others under Article 10). These values

5

and principles guide all institutions and public agencies wherever they are conducting public affairs and/or interpreting the Constitution.

Chapter 11 of the Constitution provides for a devolved system of government. In particular, Article 174 provides the objects of devolution of government. These include promoting social and economic development and services throughout Kenya; ensure equitable sharing of resources throughout Kenya; and giving powers of self-governance and participation of people in public affairs and especially in matters that affect their lives. Article 175 identifies the principles to govern devolution of government. These include basing the County Governments on democratic principles and separation of power; and having reliable sources of revenue to enable them deliver services effectively. It is also provided that no more than two thirds of the same gender shall comprise membership of representative bodies in the Counties.

3.2.2 Devolution Policy

Policy on devolved system of government (see: Policy on devolved system of government) is aimed at guiding implementation of the devolved system of government. The policy is anchored in the Constitution 2010 and is expected to also guide both levels of government to align their policies with the devolved system of government. The policy document also contains an implementation matrix and identifies key actors and the responsibilities they would fulfil to achieve the objects of devolution.

3.2.3 Laws to enhance implementation of devolution

Kenya has enacted laws to facilitate implementation of devolution. These include:  County Governments Act;  Intergovernmental Relations Act;  Public Finance Management Act;  County Allocation of Revenue Act, (Annual legislation);  Division of Revenue Act (Annual legislation); and  Urban Areas and Cities Act;

The County Governments Act 2012 gives effect to the constitutional objects of devolution. This law provides for powers, functions and responsibilities of County Governments to deliver services. It also provides for operational definition of various terms concerning implementation and governance of devolution in the country. The law also provides for powers and functions of the County Assemblies; and the County Executives. It creates various governance and administrative organs at the County Assembly and the County Executive. The Act also enhances further decentralization in the Counties by providing for structures of administration and service delivery from the County headquarters to the local level – the villages.

Intergovernmental Relations Act 2012 provides for organs to facilitate consultations and cooperation between the two levels of government. In particular this law spells out the principles for inter-governmental relations. It also establishes critical organs for inter- governmental consultations: the National and County Government Co-ordinating Summit; the Inter-government Relations Technical Committee; the Council of Governors; and the intergovernmental sector forums. The Council acts as a forum for consultations and sharing

6

information among the 47 Counties. The Council also resolves disputes and monitors implementation of agreements reached by the Council.

Public Finance Management Act 2012 spells out the responsibilities of the National and the County Governments with respect to management and control of public finance. It also specifies the principles for effective management of public finances. In this regard, the law provides for finance management oversight responsibilities of Parliament and the County Assemblies, and other relevant bodies.

The County Allocation of Review Act (CARA) is enacted every financial year to guide equitable allocation of revenue raised nationally among the County Governments. It also identifies the responsibilities of both the National and the County Governments. This law also provides for allocation of additional resources as grants and loans by development partners; or conditional grants from the revenue raised nationally. With regard to funds by development partners, the CARA identifies the partners, the amount of funds and the specific projects on which the funds shall be used. Nonetheless, before the allocation of revenue, Parliament has to receive and approve the formulae for allocation of revenue raised nationally.

The Division of Revenue Act, enacted each financial year, provides for equitable division of revenue raised nationally between the National Government and the County Governments. Enacted every year, this law shows how the revenue raised nationally shall be divided between the National Government and the County Governments. The law specifies the amounts allocated to both levels of government as well as the amount of funds meant for National Government projects in the Counties.

Urban Areas and Cities Act 2011 gives effect to Article 184 of the Constitution, which requires a national law to provide for management and governance of urban areas and cities in the country. In line with the constitutional requirement, this law guides on classification, governance and management of urban areas. It also provides for participation of residents in the management and governance of their urban areas.

3.2.4 Institutional framework

The Constitution of Kenya 2010 provides for making of laws to enhance implementation of devolution in the country. It also establishes the institutional framework for implementation. The Senate: At the national level, the Constitution provides for a bi-cameral Parliament comprising the Senate and the National Assembly. The Senate represents the Counties and protects their interests at the national level. The Senate also makes laws pertaining to the Counties and participates in making decisions on revenue allocation.

County Assemblies are the legislative arms of the County Governments. Members are elected in a general election alongside other elected officials at the national and the county level. The assemblies also comprise members nominated by political parties in the assembly to represent special interests. The County Assemblies also make laws for the County Governments and participate in oversighting the County Executive. They approve the County development plans and budgets.

Commission on Revenue Allocation: The Commission makes recommendations on sharing of revenue between the National Government and the County Governments. The Constitution

7

provides for the Counties to receive not less than 15 per cent of the revenue in the last audited accounts. This on its own guarantees the Counties of access to resources for their functions. Nonetheless, there have been challenges in sharing of revenue. The allocation of revenue has become a protracted issue every year with each level of government seeking to get more at the expense of the other. The National Assemblies often aligns with the National Treasury to demand more resources for the national executive, but the Senate has not been similarly vocal in promoting the interests of the Counties.

Intergovernmental bodies: Summit and Council of Governors: As already noted above, the Inter-Governmental Relations Act establishes organs to facilitate consultations and cooperation between the two levels of government. The Summit is the apex body chaired by the President. The Chair of the Council of Governors is the Vice Chair. This law also spells out the circumstances under which either level of government may transfer functions to the other level of government.

County intergovernmental forums: The County Governments Act also establishes several institutions at the County level to facilitate delivery of services. These include County intergovernmental forums comprising County heads of departments of the National Government ministries providing services in the Counties and County Executive Committee Members.

Intergovernmental Budget and Economic Council (IBEC): The Public Finance Management Act 2012 has established IBEC. This Council is a forum for consultation and cooperation between the two levels of government on matters relating to budgeting, the economy and financial management. The forum also consults on schedule of disbursement of available cash from the Consolidated Fund.

County Public Service Boards (CPSBs): CPSBs facilitate human resource planning and budgeting in the Counties, among other functions. The Board has powers to establish or abolish offices; and to recruit to office the staff to perform County Public service functions.

County Assembly Service Boards:

3.2.5 Mandate of the Counties - Devolved functions (Schedule Four of the Constitution)

The Constitution has delineated functions for both the National Government and the County Governments. The responsibility for frontline service delivery falls under the County Governments. The National Government is responsible for making policies and standards for delivery of these functions. Schedule Four of the Constitution provides details on functions for both levels of government. (see https://klrc.go.ke/index.php/constitution-of-kenya/167- schedules-schedules/fourth-schedule-distribution-of-functions-between-national-and-the- county-governments/447-1-national-government).

9

These functions transferred to the Counties also require legal frameworks and regulations for operationalization. Annex I show the laws passed by the National Government while Annex II shows the Counties that have enacted their own laws sometimes by adopting the national laws and/or domesticating the national laws to reflect local realities.

This notwithstanding, there are instances where County Governments have enacted pieces of legislation when there is none at the national level. The examples include:

Reproductive Health and Solid Waste Management: The Reproductive Healthcare Bill was only introduced in the National Assembly in 2019. However, County had enacted its own several years earlier – the Reproductive Health Act in 2016. Even without the national law, several counties followed to enact County laws on solid waste management: , Kisii, and City County.

In 2018, the Outdoor Advertising Control Bill was introduced in Senate. However, several Counties have already enacted their outdoor advertising laws. Examples include , Laikipia, and Taita Taveta.

The function of betting, casinos and gambling has also witnessed Counties making their own laws as they await the national Parliament to do so. The Betting, Lotteries and Gaming Act is an old piece of national legislation that is yet to be repealed or reviewed to conform to the devolved system of governance. But several Counties have already legislated on this: Nairobi City County Betting Lotteries and Gaming Act 2014; Betting, Gaming and Lotteries Act, 2014; and Betting Gaming and Lotteries Act, 2016.

The national law on cooperatives, the Co-operative Societies Act, 1997 is yet to be amended to align with the Constitution and conform with the devolved functions. However, County Governments are already legislated on this function: Cooperative Development Fund Act, 2013; County Cooperative Societies Act, 2018; Kilifi County Cooperative Societies Act, 2016; and County Co-operative Societies Act, 2015.

The County Early Childhood Education Bill was also introduced in Senate in 2018. By this time, several County Governments had already legislated on early childhood education and continue to do so. These include County Pre-Primary and Early Childhood Education Act, 2014; Early Childhood Development Act, 2015; Early Childhood Development and Education Act, 2016; and the County Early Childhood Education Act, 2016.

Disaster management is a concurrent function but there is no national overarching law. County Governments have proceeded to enact their own laws to facilitate delivery of services in this area. Examples include Disaster Management Act, 2015; County Disaster Management Act, 2014; County Disaster Management Act, 2015; Disaster Management Act, 2016; and County Disaster Management Act, 2016.

3.2.6 County level policies: County Integrated Development Strategies (CIDPs)

At the County level, each County Government has a responsibility of drafting their own development policies and strategies. The County Assemblies comprising elected leaders oversight the implementation of development programmes at this level. The County

10

Executive comprising an elected Governor and County Executive Committees appointed with the approval of the County Assemblies implement the policies and development programmes.

County level development is guided by a five-year County Integrated Development Plans (CIDPs). Counties are required to confine development projects to the approved plans. The Public Finance Management (PFM) Act disallows appropriation of public finances outside the approved plans. The CIDPs are developed to identity County development priorities. These priorities in turn inform the budget making process of the County. Annual development plans are also based on the CIDPs as is the County Fiscal Strategy Paper and Budget Estimates (Annex XVII below contains links to CIDPs for selected Counties).

3.2.7 The National Association - Counties’ Forum: Council of Governors (CoG) The Inter-governmental Relations Act 2012 establishes a Council of Governors (CoG) comprising all the Governors of the 47 Counties. As noted above, CoG is established to promote consultation, coordination and cooperation amongst the 47 County Governments on matters of common interest. Importantly, the CoG provides a forum for sharing best practices and information on matters devolution. Finally, the Council also serves as the link between the 47 Counties and the National Government and is the link through which inter- governmental relations are conducted. This is in addition to facilitating inter-governmental consultations.

The Council has established sectoral working committees to promote dialogue on policy matters among the Counties as well as with the National Government. There are 12 Working Committees established for this purpose. The Committees are aligned with the devolved functions and other relevant functions and policy issues that promote effective performance of the Counties.

3.2.8 Regional Economic Blocs

In the recent past, County Governments in the same geographical region have shown interest in forming regional economic blocs. They have done so to optimize comparative advantages of their regions as one group as well as to take advantage of economies of scale. Although there is still no National policy instrument to guide the operations of the Regional Economic Blocs, the desire for County Governments in the same geographical region to work together has led to establishment of six regional economic blocs. The blocs are formed on basis of similarities in economies, sharing of similar natural resources, and those whose populations have similar languages, social identity, among others. The policy to guide their operations in terms of how they should cooperate; their powers; financing; and initiation of development projects is yet to be finalized. The Counties in these Regional Blocs, however, have been carrying out consultations on initiation of development projects in their regions.

3.3 Cooperation with European Union

The European Union (EU) is the leading donor of development aid in Kenya. Through the EU Delegation to Kenya, the EU supports Kenya government to implement policies in a wide range of areas. The implementation of the current National Indicative Programme ends at the end of 2020. The programme is aligned to Kenya’s policy blueprint Vision 2030. It focuses on the following areas: a. Food security and resilience to climate change

11

b. Sustainable infrastructure c. Accountability of public institutions d. Support measures to the National Authorizing Officer.

Additional support is carried out through other EU initiatives in the country. Some of these include support to democratic governance, gender equity and environmental sustainability. There are also programmes supporting implementation of devolution and others supporting provision of health services.

These programmes are based on Kenya’s priorities under MTP III as well as EU Agenda for Change and Division of Labour among donors. Indeed, EU member states have their own programmes but work together with the EU. They have developed principles for joint programming and have agreed generally to use the country systems. They are also keen to carry out joint analysis and monitoring and evaluation of programmes. These nonetheless remain points of discussion and general consultations.

Discussions for the next National Indicative Programme (2021-2027) are yet to begin. Key to note, nonetheless, the sector priorities in the current NIP were not identified in consultation with the County Governments; the National Government drove the agenda. EU Delegation is keen to have priorities identified in consultation jointly with the National and the County Governments.
