This document essentially reflects a district effort co.-ordinated by the District Development Officer, with inputs, from district officers of the various operating ministries, local authorities and private agencies.. Guidance for the formulation for the plan was given by the Rural Planning Division of the Ministry of Economic Planning and Development, Users of this plan should be aware of the following events which took place during and after the preparation of the major parts of the document s- (l) Kenya is presently under a severe budget squeeze which means that probably several of the proposals of the plan will not be implemented as quickly as would be desired and expected. (2) Although Ministries were asked in advance to provide disaggregated budget data for each District, some found it difficult to do so. It is hoped, however, that where such data have been provided, the D.D.C. will make maximum use of the data for the purpose of ^Sectoral "implementation. It should, however, ibe noted that, because of certain difficulties, the development expenditures for several (ministries are only partial. (3) Population data is.based on the 19o9 census. The most recent census data was not available at the time of formulation of this Plan, (4) Re-organization of the Government Ministries and Departments which took place towards the end of 1979 has also not been reflected in this plan.. ELGBYO-MARAKWET DISTRICT FLAN ' OVERVIEW 1979-83 Elgeyo Marakwet District requires considerable develop­ ment to be able to fully utilize its whole potential. The potential for development and problems can be r.- . considered under the following headings s - A. Agricultural development B. Livestock development C. Water utilization and Irrigation D. Mineral extraction E. Forestry F. Tourism. A. Agricultural Developments- Agriculture can be ». ' • . " r,c considered in three types s (i) High potential (ii) dry land (iii) Irrigation (considered under (c). .T I 1) High potential land is mostly in the escarpment and on the plateau zone. To benefit in these areas, the 1 I.A.D.P. is helping small holder farmers through credit, input supply, marketing extension, and communications ^components. Il) For drier parts lower in the valley, I.A.D.P. should be used also. The typical crops of millet, sorghum, cowpeas and cassava could be further developed, with cotton and groundnuts as the main cash crops. The Kerio ^Valley development will be enhanced by a major government /thrust to the valley through Kerio Valley Development JAuthority Programmes. »-...-» . B. Livestock Development!- Improvement of the existing stocks of cattle and sheep and gradual replacement of local herds with grade animals will be emphasized during the plan period. The I.A.D.P. will assist in tacking this» There are however several problems for this traditional activity. The lack of water, poor, communications, the prevelance of diseases all constrain the potential development of live­ stock. There is a reluctance of the traditional cattle owners to use the limited facilities especially dips, but the provision of Veterinary services is/faââequate for the District. There are active private auctions, but a better development marketing system set up by either using the Livestock Marketing Division or by well organised co-opera-» tive structures would increase the benefits of cattle dealers. The equating of livestock holding to wealth is deeply rooted in the Valley and has tc be handed with care. However a reduction of the cattle numbers and controlled grazing could benefit. C. Water Utilization and Irrigation Developments- There f* are three specific irrigation schemes in the valley - Arror, Chepsigot and Tot. However, they are small with the one at Tot being largest with a ^OJiectare plot. The traditional irrigation has lead to agricultural development in the past but it has not been an efficient use of water. The runoff 2 has been reduced by inefficient upland irrigation with less for storage for cattle etc. The areas for irriga­ tion potential development are more than 15,000 hectares. The land is suitable for"Irffgàtïbn with crops such as cotton, cowpeas, maize, groundnuts and some vegetable. The Kerio Valley can be considered as one of the best potential areas in Kenya in terms of ^and suitability,» Vith development of reservours this could be utilized for development of local fishing potential which could add to additional activity for local people and supple­ ment, protein requirements and provide employment opportunities by utilizing more fully the resource of storing water. MlodL*-lrydro power units could also be a potential of the stored and regulated water flowing down the steep escarpment. D. Mineral Extrations- The opening up kf the Flourspar Mining works could be a start of «ui important economic activity in the valley. There has Nen a small copper works at Biretwa and there have al\s0 been several observations of mineral occurances in the area» There is need for a systematic investigation of mineral occurances by establishing a mineral exploration team. E. Forestry Developments- There is no doubt that a better use of the forests could be of short and long term development benefit. The present degradation and excision is eroding a resource which is so important for catchment - preservation as well as being of commercial potential in its own right. The forests are and could be further exploited for timber extraction but only on a replacement and development basis. F. Tourism Developments- There is potential for developing tourism because of the scenic beauty and wildlife around the Lake Kamnor<ofc. - If there are better communications into the valley it is possible to consider linking up into Western tourist circuit of Kericho, South Nyanza, Kisumu, Kakamega and to the inner circuit of Traae-Nzoia, Baringo, Samburu. Even without the possibility of seeing game, the view of the escarpment and the valley çouîd^provide an attraction. Initial camp sites could provide some additional local revenue with the possibility of expansion of tourism depending on development of tourist industry and construction of more adequate road communication through the valley. CONSTRAINTS TO DEVELOPMENT The severe constraints to the fulfillment of the above potential ares- 3 - A. Communications s - All over the District one major constrant is lack^of good communications. The road network is poor^ there is 'no^railway, the telephone and post offices facilities are poor and limited. The roads are too few and with the heavy rains even these few become impassable. They are also poorly maintained. B. Conservations- In Kerio Valley with the present cropping and livestock pattern the erosion problem is very serious constraint to long term valley develop­ ment. ' h C. Socials - The local people are traditionally pastoralists and mostly japmadjc although they have now become sedentary, they have developed farmers. In the valley and some parts of the plateau the pastoralist tradition has lead to the well known attitude of cattle possession being a form of wealth and status. It is evident that to develop is first to convince and then have the confidence of the people. Another consträSat is prevelance of diseases« There is widespread malaria, tuberculosis and tsëtsefly is vs~ common. This can prevent sound developmehTT, apart from being socially undesirable. D. Financial s - As stated in almost all sectoral progra­ mmes finance is a great constraint. The finance for opening up development of the valley is a major const­ raint. The cost of getting good communications into the valley, of serving the people on the plateau and escarpment, of building adequate infrastructure is enormous.

    PROFILES OF ATTRACTION SITES-ELGEYO MARAKWET. Tourist attractions in Elgeyo Marakwet County include Sports Tourism, Rivers, A national reserve, waterfalls and the hills and escarpments. Rimoi National Reserve The National Reserve is a protected area in the kerio valley along the escarpment of the Great Rift Valley. The 66 square kilometers (25sq mi) reserve was created in 1983 and is managed by the Kenya Wildlife Service. The isolated Kerio Valley lies between the Cherangani Hills and the Tugen Hills with the Elgeyo Escarpment rising more than 1,830 meters (6,000ft) above the valley in places. The valley is 4,000 feet (1,200m) deep. It has semi-tropical vegetation on the slopes, while the floor of the valley is covered by dry thorn bush. The most comfortable time of the year is in July and August when the rains have ended and the temperatures are not excessive. The reserve is on the west side of the Kerio River, while the Lake Kamnarok National Reserve is on the east side. The reserve has beautiful scenery, prolific birdlife and camping site in the bush beside Lake Kamnarok. Gazzement of the conservation area was done to protect wildlife from rampant poaching which was going on at the time. A fence was also put up to address human wildlife conflicts. It provides unique geological scenery & biodiversity and is one of the few protected areas within the spectacular Kerio Valley. The main attraction is the groups of elephants, Culture and scenery of the Kerio valley. The Reserve has earth and gravel road network which make for an adventurous outing.

The biggest threat to forest is human activities. Despite increasing efforts regarding forest management and forest conservation, the deforestation continues at a high rate to give space for other land uses such as agriculture and pasture. The world’s population continues to grow and Africa is the continent with fastest growing population. During the last 100 years this has led to major changes in the African landscape, and Kenya is no exception. This MFS (Minor Field Study) was conducted in cooperation with the nongovernmental organization SCC-Vi Agroforestry. The study area is located in Marakwet district in western Kenya and the district has one of the largest remaining natural forests in the country. At the same time, the area is experiencing ongoing illegal deforestation. The aim of the study was to investigate and map the deforestation in the study area during the 23 years period from 1986 to 2009 by using satellite data.

    KENYA and TANZANIA TRIP REPORT Sept 25-Oct 23, 2009 PART 1 - Classic Kenya text and photos by Adrian Binns Sept 25 / Day 1: Blue Post Thika; Castle Forest We began the morning with an unexpected Little Sparrowhawk followed by a Great Sparrowhawk, both in the skies across the main road from the Blue Post Hotel in Thika. The lush grounds of the Blue Post are bordered by the twin waterfalls of the Chania and Thika, both rivers originating from the nearby Aberdare Mountain Range. It is a good place to get aquatinted with some of the more common birds, especially as most can be seen in close proximity and very well. Eastern Black-headed Oriole, Cinnamon-chested Bee- eater, Little Bee-eater, White-eyed Slaty Flycatcher, Collared Sunbird, Bronzed Mannikin, Speckled Mousebird and Yellow-rumped Tinkerbird were easily found. Looking down along the river course and around the thundering waterfall we found a pair of Giant Kingfishers as well as Great Cormorant, Grey Heron and Common Sandpiper, and two Nile Monitors slipped behind large boulders. A fruiting tree provided a feast for Yellow-rumped Seedeaters, Violet-backed Starlings, Spot-flanked Barbet (right), White-headed Barbet as a Grey-headed Kingfisher, an open woodland bird, made sorties from a nearby perch. www.wildsidenaturetours.com www.eastafricanwildlifesafaris.com © Adrian Binns Page 1 It was a gorgeous afternoon at the Castle Forest Lodge set deep in forested foothills of the southern slope of Mt.

    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.

It does not represent a position from the United Nations. This report is posted on: http://ochaonline.un.org/kenya I. General Overview Development partners are insisting on the full implementation of the Waki and Kriegler reports to facilitate further development and put an end to impunity. Twenty-five diplomatic missions in Nairobi, including the US, Canada and the European Union countries have piled pressure for the implementation of the report whose key recommendations was the setting up of a special tribunal to try the financiers, perpetrators and instigators of the violence that rocked the country at the beginning of this year. The European Union has threatened aid sanctions should the Waki Report not be implemented. An opinion poll by Strategic Research Limited found that 55.8 per cent of respondents supported the full implementation of the report on post-lection violence. On 19 November, Parliament moved to chart the path of implementing the Waki Report by forming two committees to provide leadership on the controversial findings.

    KENYA SCHOOL OF GOVERNMENT Empowering the Public Service BARINGO CAMPUS PROSPECTUS The Kenya School of Government is an ISO 9001:2015 certified institution that provides capacity building programs for the Public Service through training, research, consultancy and advisory services. The School seeks to facilitate acquisition of wider and deeper knowledge about social and economic issues of national, regional and global concern beyond development of skills and competencies in the respective courses and areas of specialization. This goal is achievable through public lectures, seminars, and conferences services to both National and County governments, private sector players as well as those from the Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs). To deliver on the mandate, the School has strategically located campuses across the country including at Lower Kabete, Baringo, Embu, Matuga, and Mombasa. The School boasts of experienced, cultured and well trained dons, researchers and consultants in various disciplines in tandem with programs. Baringo Campus is located in Kabarnet town in the Rift Valley from where it serves the Rift Valley, Western and Nyanza regions. The Campus can be accessed through Nakuru (about l40kms) or Eldoret (about 90kms) using public or private transport. From Nakuru to Baringo Campus, vehicles take B4 north-bound road towards Marigat which is about 95 kilometres away. Shortly before Marigat town, Kabarnet town is accessed using the left turn off to drive on through the scenic Tugen Hills for about 38 kilometres. From Eldoret, vehicles take the Eldoret-Iten road through Tambach and across Kerio Valley to Kabarnet town. Baringo Campus is situated in a scenic environment suitable for tourism including Lake Bogoria where visitors can experience boiling geothermal pools, hot springs, steam jets and a section of Kenya’s wild animals including flamingos.
