1.2 COUNTY BACKGROUND Uasin Gishu County is one of the 47 counties in the Republic of Kenya. It lies between longitudes 34 degrees 50 east and 35 degrees 37 West and latitudes 0 degrees 03 South and 0 degrees 55 North. It is a highland plateau with altitudes falling gently from 2,700 meters above sea level to about 1,500 meters above sea level. The topography is higher to the east and declines gently towards the western border. The county experiences high and reliable rainfall which is evenly distributed throughout the year. The average rainfall ranges between 624.9 mm to 1,560.4mm with two distinct peaks occurring between March and September; and May and August. Dry spells occur between November and February. The temperatures range between 7 degrees Celsius and 29 degrees Celsius.

Uasin Gishu County shares common borders with Trans Nzoia County to the North, Elgeyo Marakwet County to the East, Baringo County to the South East, Kericho County to the South, Nandi County to the South West and Kakamega County to the North West. It covers a total area of 3,345.2 Sq. Km. with a population, according to the 2009 Population and Housing Census, of 894,179 people. This population was projected to increase to 1,002,153 in 2012, and 1,123,165 and 1,211,853 in 2015 and 2017 respectively. It has six Sub-counties (constituencies), namely, Soy, Turbo, Kesses, Kapseret, Ainabkoi and Moiben. The county has thirty (30) County assembly Wards. In addition, there are two divisions, Kesses and Kapsaret, with fifty one (51) locations and ninety seven (97) sub-locations.

Uasin Gishu Countys economy is largely driven by agriculture; it is agro-based. It has large and fertile lands which can be classified as high potential. The average farm size in the county is 2-10 acres with a wide range of crop and livestock enterprises. The crop enterprises include food crops, cash/industrial crops and horticultural crops. Large scale farming supports wheat, maize, tea, coffee, flowers and other horticultural crops for export. However, crop farming is mainly concentrated on maize and wheat. Livestock enterprises include dairy, poultry, sheep, goats, pigs, bee keeping and fish farming. But concentration is mainly on dairy. The county can also support agribusiness and industries and this is yet to be fully exploited. There are manufacturing, wholesale and retail activities taking place in the county.

1.3 KEY DEVELOPMENT CHALLENGES Uasin Gishu County, just like any other county in the country, grapples with challenges inherent in development endevour. During the period under review, the county encountered a number of development challenges. The county had shortfall of technical staff and capacity as the county was yet to undertake comprehensive recruitment to fill staff and capacity gaps, an exercise not taken awaiting ongoing staff rationalization and harmonization. HIV/Aids scourge put pressure on the county resources, compounding the effects already felt due to the high poverty level. Uasin Gishu County also had inadequate infrastructure, in the poor state of roads especially during rainy season; water supply; and electricity. Severe geological and geographical conditions in the county affect the roads sub-sector. There were not enough infrastructures in schools and other institutions of learning, though the county government and other devolved programs like CDF made efforts to address this. There were also not enough teachers in a number of schools and county polytechnics in the county. Inadequate access to credit and deforestation were other development challenges in the county.

1.4 METHODOLOGYThe report was compiled with input from the various departmental heads of the county government by forwarding their respective reports to the Planning Unit of Budget and Planning section, Finance and Economic Planning Department.

1.5 LIMITATION OF THE REPORTThis report does not incorporate all the literature and narratives contained in the respective departmental reports. It only reported on major activities and achievements, challenges and way forward of each department. However, detailed departmental reports contain information in details on departmental activities.

CHAPTER TWO: POLICY REVIEWThis chapter gives key policy priorities and objectives guiding development process in the county in line with CIDP, Vision 2030 and the Medium Term Plan (MTP). Development process in the county continues to be informed by the desire to create employment mainly for the youth and women as a way of incorporating their participation in economic development; food security and poverty alleviation; development of physical infrastructure to reduce cost of production, improved competitiveness and provide access to the markets for both goods and services; development of human resources for enhanced capacity to adopt innovative approaches to development; and Information Communication Technology, a growth sub-sector with immense potential of unlocking many opportunities in business, education, agriculture, industry and security.

3.3 AGRICULTURE, LIVESTOCK AND FISHERIESThis department has four sections Agriculture, Livestock, Fisheries and Veterinary services. The department seeks to improve the livelihoods of residents of the county by promoting competitive farming as a business. It seeks to realize its objectives through appropriate policy environment, effective support services and sustainable natural resources management, create a favorable policy and legal framework for the sustainable development of the crop and livestock sectors and facilitate sustainable management and development of fishery resources for accelerated socio- economic development through research. Due to its central role in the economy, the County Government is supporting all initiatives geared towards improving the livelihood of the farmers. The county government is also investing in the sector through improvement of infrastructure and policy framework in order to provide enabling environment for both local and foreign investors.

3.3.1 Agriculture Main crops grown in the county are maize and wheat. However, other food crops are also produced; these include beans, Irish potatoes, sorghum, millet, sweet potato, cassava, arrow roots and horticultural crops. Main industrial crops produced are tea, coffee, pyrethrum, sugar cane and barley, with minor ones being ground nuts, sunflower and soya beans.Most of the food crops are grown through rain fed production.

Achievements Grain Storage facility at Tugen Estate Site in Moiben sub-county was almost complete. Remaining works include terrazzo wrap, sanitary fittings, plumbing works, painting and access road. Tuiyotich Farmers Cooperative Society was identified and trained in 2013 in preparation for the project implementation. Mobile grain drier was operational. It was being stored at AMS Eldoret awaiting the completion of the store at Tugen estate. Simbi grain store Site in Soy Sub-county was also almost complete; final touches and plumbing works on-going. The Soy Cereal Bank Farmers Cooperative Society was identified in 2011 and trained as the group to manage the activities of the Grain Store. Mobile Grain Drier was being housed at the store. The County was allocated funds by the national government through the Economic Stimulus Project to construct two grain stores each costing Kshs. 34 million and two mobile dryers each costing Kshs. 8million. Chepchobit and Sosiani dams in Tembelio Ward and Sosiani location, Kamagut location respectively received funding from the National government for desilting under the Water Harvesting for Food Security Programme. AMS Eldoret was contracted to carry out the desilting which had already started at Chebchobit dam. During the quarter the county participated in two trade fairs. Agribussiness Expo 2014 Kabarak University,Nakuru was held on the 14th to 15th of August 2014 and 4 officers attended this exhibition. The Chepkoilel Agricultural Trade Fair was held on the 25th to 27th September 2014 and the department of Agriculture exhibited during the fair. The purpose was to disseminate new technologies to the farming community and to train farmers as well as showcase opportunities in the agriculture sector. Soil fertility in Uasin Gishu County has been declining over the years. This is because of the continuous use of D.A.P on the same farms for a long time thus making the soils to be acidic. The Uasin Gishu county government through the ministry of agriculture thus saw the need to fund 1,000 soil samples through the department of agriculture as a way of establishing the extent of this acidity levels and also as a way of sensitizing the farmers in the County to take their soil samples for analysis to establish the fertilizer recommendations for their farms. Results dissemination workshop was held on 6th October 2013 at Sirikwa hotel by Soil Cares Initiative. A total of 132 participants attended comprising of staff, stakeholders and farmers. The Horticulture Business Strategy continues with the promotion of export vegetable and fruits. This has resulted to an increase in demand for certified seedlings of the same. The strategy distributed avocado seed to farmers of which most of it germinated and about to be grafted. The screen net and shade nets were delivered and the nursery construction would begin soon. ASDSP is also promoting passion fruit value chain and groups have been funded to support passion fruit production in the county.

Food Situation Update:During the period under review, food situation for the county was good as there were no major incidences of food shortage. The sub counties remained relatively food secure (most households had adequate and stable access to food). Maize, beans and Irish potatoes were available in the market at fair prices.

Challenges: Environmental degradation and declining soil fertility. Climate change unpredictable weather and seasonal variations in the onset of the rains. Over reliance on rain fed Agriculture. Post-harvest losses. The level of soil fertility is low because of continuous use for a long time. This has had adverse effect on crop production. The land size has become small due to frequent subdivision. This has negative impact on crop production. High Input prices which limit farmers ability to increase input use to increase production. Low farm gate prices for produce particularly maize and beans during peak production period. Maize and Wheat are major crops in the County. The poor prices of the crops have had adverse effect on farmers incomes. Limited farmer friendly credit sources. High incidence of pests and diseases.Cases of Maize Lethal Necrosis Disease (MLND) were reported in all the sub counties in the county. The disease was wide spread across the county with the affected farms showing infestations of between 20-100%. Field surveillance had shown that the disease is widespread in the county this season and the most affected crop is the late planted maize crop.

Remarks: All the 6 Sub Counties have had cases of MLND. The most affected crop is the late planted crop. The early planted crop may be affected but this maybe manifested after harvest.

Way Forward: Crop diversification. Use of Fertilizers, farmyard and compost manures. Increase yield/unit area, crop intensification and adoption of high value crops. Expansion of cultivated area. Development of Irrigation. Value addition of farm produce. Adoption of new technologies Through improved livestock production e.g. poultry, dairy, piggery, beekeeping, fish farming. Forming marketing groups (cereal banking) Support farmers to access credit and farm inputs easily.

3.3.6 CHEBORORWA ATCChebororwa ATC was started in late 1957 as a holding ground for livestock. It was later converted to livestock improvement centre (L.I.C.) by veterinary department before being changed to Farmers Training Centre in 1959. It is among the oldest ATCs in the country. The institution was devolved from the national government to the County Government of Uasin Gishu in February 2014. It trains farmers from Trans-Nzoia, Uasin Gishu, West Pokot and Elgeyo-Marakwet counties, which form part of its mandate districts.

Challenges: Water flows to the station have diminished and no longer sufficient to satisfy water needs. This is due to old, rusted and clogged pipes. The original fence of the institution has been vandalized by the surrounding community leading to intrusion by outsiders and recurrent illegal grazers, leading to increased insecurity and animal disease outbreak within the farm. The centre has two tractors and old farming implements. The two tractors were repaired and are currently in a fair working condition although breakages are still experienced because of their old nature.

The demand for residential training is increasing and the station has only one modern hostel which can accommodate 21 clients. The other two hostels are old and not attractive to our clients. Demand for practical dairy skills has increased since the revival of dairy industry. The station has no model dairy unit for practical training despite offering training in this area. The existing unit was old and required complete overhaul. The ATC depended on rain fed Agriculture for its Agricultural activities and this limited its attainment of maximized production.

Way Forward: There is need to increase funding for fencing the institution boundaries. Construction of additional modern hostel which can accommodate at least 50 clients. Construction of a complete modern dairy unit that can accommodate at least 10 dairy cows. Venture into the production of high value crops for local and international markets through irrigation by constructing a dam using a seasonal river passing through farm, and which offers a good opportunity for the dam construction. Surveys were done by county engineers and are yet to develop the bill of quantities for the project. Make use of the wide availability of crop and livestock products within the catchment of the ATC and therefore offers an opportunity for Agro processing and value addition. Introduction of short agricultural courses for the youth and farmers for enhanced knowledge and skill transfer, increased self-employment and reduced food insecurity.

During the period under review, the following activities were undertaken at the estates. Kodhek estate tenancy was terminated to pave way for renovation of the houses. Since the issuance of termination notices, some tenants have vacated the houses and some went to court to challenge the termination. Eviction of rent defaulters went on during the period and some estates have shown reduction of arrears. Unblocking of blocked sewer lines and waste water drainages was carried out in several estates during the period. Tenants complaints concerning rent balances were attended to. Transfer of AMS houses which were formerly under the Ministry of Agriculture was done and rent received from the estate is now being deposited to the County revenue account. Renovation of staff house in Elgon view block 13/85 was done and is now ready for occupation Preparation of BQs for fencing of house on block 13/85 and repair of the SQ. Preparation of BQs for rehabilitation works to 21 No. houses at Kodhek Estate Houses. Formulation of county housing bill and policy. Monitoring of ongoing upgrading activities in informal settlements under World Bank funding (KISSIP and KMP Programmes).

Challenges: Transport section has no vehicle to move round the estates now taking into consideration the expansive county. Lack adequate office space the estates office which was at social hall was taken over by the ministry of education rendering the section with no office to serve tenants. Ownership dispute of Elgon view staff houses it has been difficult for housing section to collect rent from staff houses in Elgon view mainly occupied by outsiders claiming they have ownership documents Repairs and maintenance of old houses most of the county estates were constructed several years back and capital maintenance is not commensurate to the income. Arrears from staff houses reflected do not portray the true picture because reconciliations have not been done. This is because the system used in payment of salaries which is IPPD is different from the system used to collect house rents.

Way Forward: Provision of vehicles to enhance performance. Establish a central office area that adequate for all staff so that staff output can be properly controlled and monitored. There is need to develop a system which can apply uniformly in the collection of house rents. 3.5 ROADS, TRANSPORT AND PUBLIC WORKSThis department is vested with the responsibility of providing a holistic and integrated transport system within the county as well as operating and maintaining an efficient, safe and cost effective transport system.

Challenges:1. Inadequate Machinery there is not enough machinery to repair and maintain the road network within the county; the existing ones are old. 2. Frequency of breakdown of the few available machinery and long time to repair due to nature of procurement process to acquire spare parts.3. Lack of enough office space for the department.4. Congestion and unsustainable infrastructure in the CBD.

Way forward:In conclusion, a lot of the planned activities and projects are on course and all the targets are achievable.

The department is expediting the procurement of a mobile workshop in order to curb the challenge of delayed repair work. The department in collaboration with development partners and other stakeholder are exploring ways of utilizing the available resources to attain maximum benefits. The department, in collaboration with the National Government, is developing the CBD. This entails surveying and designing of by-passes, new roads, walkways and cycle ways. This will be followed by constructing the designed passages. New plant operators are in the process of being hired to manage the new equipment hence beefing up the construction and maintenance of roads is on course.

3.6 ENVIRONMENT, ENERGY, WATER AND NATURAL RESOURCESThe Department of Environment, Energy, Water and Natural Resources was created to oversee the devolved functions within this area. However, there were some grey areas on the department that should squarely fall within its jurisdiction but still ran by the national government, a good example being forestry. To achieve the 10% forest cover by 2030, the mandate of forestry should have been given to the county governments.

3.6.1 Water The mandate of the subsector is to coordinate water supply and catchment protection within the county. The functions of this section include: Water, sewerage & sanitation services provision; Water infrastructure development and maintenance; Local water catchment protection; and County water sector co-ordination. The county is endowed with a number of water sources which includes rivers, dams and underground water. It also has six gazetted water supplies: Turbo water supply; Moisbridge water supply; Burnt forest water supply; Sosiani water supply; Sambut water supply; and Kipkabus water supply.

3.6.2 Environment The mandate of this section involves Waste management; Control of air pollution, noise pollution, Public nuisance and outdoor advertising; and Implementation of national government policies on natural resources and environmental conservation.

Achievements: Maintained the six water supplies (operational) in the quarter through repairs and maintenance of the system. The department identified 60 community water projects to fund to increase the availability of water to the residents. Supervision and management of the ongoing Kipkabus water project was done and the project is expected to be completed by 31st December 2014. Identified areas across the county which will be planted with indigenous trees on the commencement of long rains next year. The department was allocated Ksh 3,000,000 for purchase of seedlings to enrich water catchment areas. In the quarter, 125 noise permits were issued within the county. 26 Environmental Impact Assessment reviews were done. Conducted two sensitization campaigns on waste management at Kimumu and Kipkaren estates. Issued 30 permits for solid wastes from outside the county to be dumped at the dumpsite. Introduced the seven-day street cleaning by creating a team that work within the CBD on Sundays and be compensated by offs within the course of the week.

Challenges: Implementation of the Kipkabus water project faced resistance from neighbours upstream and KFS whose land the dam is located.

Way Forward: Following on the expansion of the water treatment plant at Chebara. Plans are underway to procure a noise meter for efficient accurate capture of noise levels within the county.

3.7 PUBLIC SERVICE MANAGEMENTPublic Service Management is made up of five sections, namely, Human Resource Management, public Relations, Security and Enforcement, Governors office and international relations and the legal section.It is a service department that co-ordinates service delivery in the county, with the strategic theme being Re-defining service delivery for efficient and timely service delivery.

Achievements: Worked with different agencies like the National Land Commission and Ethics and Anti-corruption Commission to ensure that illegally acquired public land is reverted back to its original purpose. This involves investigating the various documents used in the transactions. We then forward the documents to the agencies to verify their authenticity. Handled 54 legal cases during the period under review. Also took over cases that were being handled by the defunct local authorities. Governors office and Intergovernmental Relations - Intergovernmental relations continued to be enhanced. In August we had a team from Minneapolis visiting the county and they carried out training in the following areas: Disaster preparedness and management; Leadership for the county Executive and legislative arm; Leadership for women in policy making; and Youth training on oral health. In the month of October, two people from the Sister City of Arizona visited the county and were helping us in the planning for establishment of a Pediatric Hospital and School of Medicine at the University of Eldoret.

Nursing SectionAchievements Participation in AWP development and implementation. Trainings of CHMT & ScHMTs were done; the actual preparation of the Annual Work Plans and their subsequent implementation is ongoing. Participation of nursing sector in the development of Health strategic plan is worth being mention. Staff were also trained on Rota, Meascles (18month) and the Tetanus Toxoid implemantation campagn. Facilitative support supervision. Support supervision activities were carried out at the sub county level by the Sub County HMTs both facilitated by the County department of health and partners. Procurement of Nursing Commodities. During the report period, Reproductive Health equipment was received from the Kenya Red Cross including MVA sets, Delivery Packs, Caesarian Section sets, Oxygen Concentrators, cervical cancer screening equipment etc. the equipment was donated for specific health centres and hospitals. To improve on adequacy of nonpharmaceauticals, the nursing department has asigned an officer the ensure sustained availability and mainatinance of the commodities. commodities & stores and sets aside a buffer stock of such supplies at the county stores to address shortages as and when they occur. Skilled Deliveries. The proportions of expectant mothers delivered by skilled personell steadily increased from 42% as at end of june to 54.8 % end of Septemba. This is attributable to training of staff on Basic emergency maternal/Obstetric and neonatal care coupled with free maternity services. Family planning. There is improvement in utilization of family planning services from the year 2013/2014/ that was at 65% to 99.1% in the first quarter of 2014/2015. TB/HIV program. The total number of TB patient diagnosed during the period the quater were 370 patiets and all are on treatment. 38 % of the patients are sputum positive meaning that this patients are potentially infectious. About 80 % of the patients are adults. All 99% of the TB patietns were tested for HIV.

Challanges There is worrying trend is the emergence of MDR TB (multi drug resistant TB) with langas RCEA facility reporting 6 cases alone. 26 Patients have been ever diagnosed, 23 commenced treatment, 2 died before treatment was commenced (while awaiting Rx) and 1 currently being work up to start treatment. So far 23 have been put on treatment: 9 are still on treatment, while 11 successfully completed treatment, 2 died and 1 defaulted. The defaulted case have been traced and put in isolation through a court order. There is a challenge in unavailability of auxiliary drugs for management of side effects and Isolation wards for MDR TB patients. Mothers accessing ANC services testing for HIV slightly reduced from 96.2% the year 2013/2014 to 95.5% in the first quarter of the year 2014/2015. This could be attributed to change in the new algorythm of HIV testing introduced early this year.

Pharmacy SectionAchievements EMMS supplies to health facilities. Distribution of pharmaceuticals and non-pharmaceuticals was done to health facilities in the month of August 2014. Moiben and Kipkabus health centres however did not receive the last KEMSA consignment but both have received some pharmaceutical and non-pharmaceuticals that will last them until we purchase more commodities for the county.

These will be redistributed to facilities Support Supervision. During the period under review the department has conducted support supervision to various facilities. These include Turbo sub-county hospital, Kesses sub-county hospital, burnt forest s
