Chapter two provides the County development analysis. The plan reviews the previous year’s performance, the major development challenges and cross-cutting issues that affect the development of the county. Chapter three presents details of projects and programmes derived from Kericho County Integrated Development Plan (2018-2022) that will be implemented in the financial period 2020/2021. It also gives the name of the project, objectives, targets and description of activities for each department. Chapter four presents the monitoring and evaluation framework that will be used at the county level to track progress on implementation of projects and programmes. An indicative matrix detailing projects and programmes, costing, implementing agencies as well as monitoring tools and indicators based on projects and programmes identified in chapter three.

The lack of full-time ophthalmology disease, fully quantify long-term outcomes, services at Tenwek provided just such an opportunity, or provide extensive fellowship-styled surgical education. As and, subsequently, Dr. Roberts finished his fellowship and we consider the advancement of international surgical retina moved his family to Kenya for their first 4-year term. care across all fronts, how do we fill these particular gaps?
