Let all with one accord In common bond united Build this our nation together And the glory of Kenya The fruit of our labour Fill every heart with thanksgiving THE NATIONAL ANTHEM THIRD MEDIUM TERM PLAN 2018 – 2022VISION 2030iv FOREWORD Our country’s long term development blue print, Vision 2030 aims to transform Kenya into an industrialized middle income country offering a high quality of life to all our citizens. The Vision is being implemented through successive five-year medium term plans. This Third Medium Term Plan (MTP III) 2018-2022 succeeds the Second MTP (MTP II) 2013-2017 which implemented the policies, programmes and projects of my first administration as outlined in the Jubilee Manifesto “Agenda for Kenya 2013-2017 and Beyond”. As with its predecessor, this Plan has been aligned with the Jubilee Manifesto 2017, with particular focus on implementing policies, programmes and projects designed to achieve the “Big Four” initiatives of my Second Administration. These are: Industrialization, Manufacturing and Agro-processing; Affordable Housing; Food and Nutrition Security; and Universal Health Coverage. Implementation of these four initiatives will not only support higher economic growth and faster job creation, but also reduce the high cost of living affecting many of our people. We made considerable progress during MTP II period, most notably in development and modernisation of infrastructure, improved security, human resource development, job creation, expanding access to affordable health care, and in modernizing our public services. During this Plan period, we will build on these foundations and successes to continue our country’s transformation and modernization in order to create more quality jobs, raise the living standards of every Kenyan, end inequality and lift more Kenyans out of poverty. Furthermore, we will continue developing our nation’s transport, Information Communication Technologies (ICT) and energy infrastructure to attract global industry and create high quality and hi-tech jobs. We will maintain a stable macro-economic environment and pursue policies that support high, rapid and inclusive economic growth, ensure price stability and sustainable debt levels. Trade with our traditional markets will be expanded and new markets for our goods and services established. In addition, the financial sector will be strengthened to ensure that entrepreneurs and investors are supported with affordable credit and other financial services. Employment creation is at the heart of my Second Administration. During the Plan period, my Government will put in place comprehensive strategies and programmes to create at least 6.5 million jobs. This will be achieved by expanding the manufacturing sector to increase its contribution to Gross Domestic Product (GDP) from 9.2 per cent in 2017 to 15 per cent and increasing agro-processing to at least 50 per cent of total agricultural production. We plan to accelerate growth in manufacturing through the establishment of Special Economic Zones and Industrial Parks, creating an additional 1,000 manufacturing SMEs and providing them with access to affordable capital, training and skills enhancement, access to markets and establishing at least one industry in each county. In the next five years we will also put in place measures to create over 1 million online jobs for our youths through the on-going Ajira Digital Programme. We will strengthen the institutional framework to support creative arts so that the industry can generate wealth and jobs for our youth. The development of the oil and other mineral resources sector and expansion of infrastructure projects, including the targeted construction of at least 500,000 affordable houses across the country are further expected to increase job creation over the Plan period. Food and nutrition security will be largely enhanced through investments in irrigation, affordable farm inputs, and development of the Blue Economy. We will continue to give priority to inclusive and quality education to nurture a globally competitive workforce to drive economic growth and spur job creation. In this regard, we will restructure and modernise our education system to ensure that our graduates are competitive in the 21st century labour market. Measures will also be taken to expand and equip Technical and Vocational Education Training (TVET) institutions and polytechnics to improve the quality and quantity of the middle level workforce, while at the same time aligning the curriculum with industry needs. My Administration will ensure that every citizen has access to the best possible health care at the most affordable price, including enhancing health care programmes for mothers and children. We will also provide dignified support to the elderly and persons with disability through enhancing and expanding our social protection programmes. In the course of implementing this Plan, my Government will sustain the momentum in reforming our public sector through among others, digitization of all government services by expanding and delivery of e-government services, and strengthening policy, legal and institutional frameworks for devolution. In addition, my Government will support the strengthening of the Judiciary, improving governance and the rule of law, and the fight against corruption. THIRD MEDIUM TERM PLAN 2018 – 2022 VISION 2030 v I, therefore, call upon all Kenyans to remain united so that we move forward as one peaceful and prosperous nation with a common vision. I also urge all of us to play our part in implementing this Plan as it is our shared responsibility. The Government on its part will work closely with County Governments, the private sector and development partners to ensure we deliver on this Plan’s targets. This is critical as it will bring about faster socio-economic transformation of our country and improve the livelihoods and well-being of our people. H.E. Hon. Uhuru Kenyatta, C.G.H. President of the Republic of Kenya And Commander-In-Chief of the Defence Forces THIRD MEDIUM TERM PLAN 2018 – 2022VISION 2030vi PREFACE During the past five years, Kenya made significant progress in implementing the policies, programmes and projects outlined in the Second MTP (MTP II) 2013-2017. The achievements are documented in the Annual Progress Reports (APRs) and the Mid-Term Review Report of the MTP II. One of the key achievements of the MTP II was the successful implementation of the devolved system of government. This saw the establishment of 47 County Governments with the relevant enabling laws in place and the transfer of devolved functions including the personnel performing the functions. It also saw the transfer of sharable revenues allocated to Counties increase from 31 per cent to 34 per cent by end of June 2017, well beyond the constitutional minimum threshold of 15 per cent. Key devolution institutions were also established including the National and County Governments Co-ordinating Summit, the Inter Governmental Budget and Economic Council (IBEC), the Inter-Governmental Relations Technical Committee (IGRTC) and the Council of Governors (CoG). As a result, equitable distribution of resources across the country was enhanced and government services brought closer to the people. In addition, poverty levels in Kenya fell from 46 per cent in 2005/2006 to 36.1 per cent in 2015/2016. The Third Medium Term Plan (MTP III) 2018-2022 is the second to be prepared under the devolved system of governance. Like the previous MTPs, it has been prepared through a wide consultative process involving all stakeholders, right from the grass root level. It is aligned to the Constitution, Vision 2030 and key policy, legal and institutional requirements of the country. Implementation of the MTP III and its financing framework will focus on delivering the “Big Four” initiatives. In view of limited fiscal space, implementation of the MTP III will leverage on private sector investments through Public Private Partnerships (PPPs). In this regard, a High Speed PPP Unit will be established to attract and engage the private sector on implementation of projects under the “Big Four” initiatives and other priority programmes and projects. Additional initiatives will be undertaken to harmonise planning and implementation at county level with the national planning framework. These include finalization and implementation of the National Urban Development Policy (NUDP), amendment of the Public Finance Management (PFM) Act to entrench the minimum threshold for Parliament to review revenue allocation recommendations from the Commission on Revenue Allocation (CRA), and enactment of the County Government (Tax Regulations) Bill 2016. Other initiatives include development of a policy and enactment of legislation to provide for sharing of revenue and benefits accruing from exploitation of natural resources, and development and implementation of a policy on shared resources between counties. Measures will be taken to strengthen existing structures for coordination with development partners in line with Global Partnership for Effective Development Cooperation (GPEDC). This will ensure that development partners’ Country Assistance Strategies and Programmes are aligned with the priorities of the MTP III. The National Treasury and Planning prepared and issued guidelines for aligning the County Integrated Development Plans to MTP III. Guidelines for preparation of Strategic Plans for all Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs) in line with MTP III will be issued. In order to ensure effective tracking of implementation, the National Treasury and Planning will prepare and disseminate quarterly and annual progress reports on implementation of the “Big Four” initiatives and other MTP III policies, programmes and projects. I would like to thank all those who participated in the process of the preparation of this Plan, in addition to those who provided inputs and necessary support. The National Treasury and Planning appreciates the leadership and guidance of His Excellency The President and the Cabinet in spearheading the country’s transformative development agenda.

Thematic Areas Three (3) thematic areas identified in the Plan are HIV and AIDS, Climate Change and Disaster Risk Management (DRM). HIV continues to be a major challenge to the achievement of the national development aspirations as reflected in the Vision 2030. Towards this end, response to HIV and AIDS will be sustained towards fast tracking the ending of AIDS. The negative effects of climate change will be addressed through promotion of a low carbon climate resilient and green growth development. This will be achieved through strengthening climate change governance and coordination, climate change monitoring, reporting and verification, capacity building and public awareness, and formulation and implementation of Green Economy Strategy and the National Climate Change Action Plan. An integrated Disaster Risk Management System will be put in place to focus on preventing or reducing the risk of disasters, mitigating the severity of disasters, enhancing preparedness, rapid and effective response to disasters and post-disaster recovery. Implementation Framework The MTP III implementation framework is aligned to the Constitution, Vision 2030 and key policy, legal and institutional requirements towards attainment of the “Big Four” initiatives and other priority programmes and projects. The National Treasury and Planning will strengthen the National Integrated Monitoring and Evaluation Systems (NIMES) and County Integrated Monitoring and Evaluation Systems (CIMES), and prepare regular progress reports on the Plan implementation. The County Integrated Development Plans (CIDPs), County Spatial Plans and Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs) Strategic Plans (2018 2022) will be aligned to the MTP III and the National Spatial Plan. Implementation of these plans will also be linked to the Results-Based Management Framework through Performance Contracts and Staff Performance Appraisal System. The Government will also work with the private sector in implementing the programmes and projects including fast tracking Public Private Partnership (PPP) projects. Measures will be taken to strengthen existing structures for coordination with development partners to achieve higher absorption of Official Development Assistance (ODA) for results. THIRD MEDIUM TERM PLAN 2018 – 2022 VISION 2030 1 SETTING THE CONTEXT OF THE THIRD MEDIUM TERM PLAN 1.0 Overview The Kenya Vision 2030, which was launched in June, 2008, aims to transform Kenya into an industrialized upper middle income economy offering a high quality of life to all its citizens by 2030. The Vision is being implemented through successive five-year Medium Term Plans (MTPs) of which this is the Third. The country recorded substantial progress under the first two MTPs. The poverty level declined from 46 per cent in 2005 to 36.1 per cent in 2015 (The 2015/16 Kenya Integrated Household Budget Survey). Substantial progress was made in education and health. There was also remarkable increase in power generation and the development of infrastructure, for example, the standard gauge railway from Mombasa to Nairobi, roads, airports, ports and harbours, irrigation, water and sanitation. However, progress varied across sectors and regions. The MTP III builds on the gains made so far in implementing the previous MTPs, including completing projects initiated during MTP II. It endeavours to move the economy towards a high growth trajectory to achieve 7 per cent economic growth by the end of the Plan period. The Plan targets not only increasing the level of savings and investment but also enhancing the productivity of investment in all sectors of the economy as well as consolidating fiscal stance in a stable macro-economic environment. In addition, it aims at effecting structural changes in the economy towards increasing the shares of manufacturing, industrial and exporting sectors. The Plan also prioritizes development of the Oil and Mineral Resources Sector and the Blue Economy which are expected to play a key role in contributing to higher economic growth in the next five years and beyond. The Plan prioritizes policies, programmes and projects which will support the implementation of the “Big Four” initiatives namely: Raise the share of manufacturing sector to 15 per cent of GDP; Ensure that all citizens enjoy food security and improved nutrition by 2022; Achieve Universal Health Coverage; and deliver at least five hundred thousand (500,000) affordable housing units. The implementation of the “Big Four” initiatives will also contribute to broad based inclusive sustainable economic growth, faster job creation and reduction of poverty and inequality. All this will be done with close cooperation between the national and county governments as well as other stakeholders. The MTP III has mainstreamed and will implement the 17 Global Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as outlined in the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. The Plan is further aligned to the Africa’s Agenda 2063 which constitute the strategic framework for socio-economic transformation of the African continent by the year 2063. 1.1 Progress Achieved Under the Second Medium Term Plan ( MTP II) 2013-2017 Significant progress was recorded during the implementation of the MTP II. The Annual Progress Reports (APRs) as well as the Mid Term Review Report (MTR) of the MTP II detail some of the key achievements as follows: x� Construction of Phase I of the Standard Gauge Railway covering 472 Km of track from the port of Mombasa to Nairobi.

The Plan will give the highest priority to achieving the “Big Four” initiatives as highlighted below: x� Support value addition and raise the manufacturing sector’s share to 15 per cent of GDP by 2022. This will accelerate economic growth, create jobs and reduce poverty; x� Focus on initiatives that guarantee food security and nutrition to all Kenyans by 2022 through expansion of food production and supply, reduction of food prices to ensure affordability and support value addition in the food processing value chain; x� Provide Universal Health Coverage thereby guaranteeing quality and affordable healthcare to all Kenyans; and, x� Provide at least five hundred thousand (500,000) affordable new houses to Kenyans by 2022 and thereby improve the living conditions for Kenyans. The other key priority areas that Government will focus on over the Plan period and which have been aligned with the above “Big Four” initiatives are: x� Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs): A key objective of MTP III is to implement policies, programmes and projects that will facilitate the attainment of the 17 SDGs. All Ministries, Counties, Departments and Agencies (MCDAs) will be expected to report on the relevant monitoring indicators identified by the Kenya National Bureau of Statistics (KNBS) out of the 230 Global Indicators. THIRD MEDIUM TERM PLAN 2018 – 2022 VISION 2030 3 x� Africa’s Agenda 2063: Agenda 2063 is Africa’s long-term vision to achieve the collective aspirations of the continent, “The Africa We Want”. It is a strategic framework for the socio-economic transformation of the continent over the next 50 years. It is being implemented through ten-year implementation plans. MTP III has incorporated the priorities of the First Ten-Year Implementation Plan (2014-2023). x� National Spatial Planning: The National Spatial Plan (2015-2045) launched in March, 2017 will guide the implementation of projects under MTP III, Sector Plans, County Integrated Development Plans (CIDPs) and other county plans . x� Ending Drought Emergencies: The Government will prioritize implementation of the policies, programmes and projects outlined in the Ending Drought Emergencies (EDE) sector plan through allocating increased resources and partnering with regional countries and other stakeholders including the private sector. x� Irrigation Expansion and Agro-productivity: The Government will partner with investors to expand irrigation coverage in order to reduce the country’s dependence on rain fed agriculture. This will also enhance agro-productivity, avail affordable and adequate food, raw materials, as well as other produce leading to reduction in the cost of living and attainment of food and nutrition security. Further, it will enhance agro-processing and exports and improve Kenya’s trade balance. Large scale irrigation projects such as the Galana-Kulalu will be accorded priority while development of small scale irrigation will continue. Investment in irrigation water abstraction, storage and conveyance infrastructure will be equally prioritized to mitigate effects of climate change and the constraints of rain-fed agriculture. x� Infrastructure: The MTP III will build on the significant progress achieved under the preceding MTPs in developing and modernizing the country’s infrastructure. New investments will include construction of the Standard Gauge Railway Line from Nairobi to Malaba, extension and strengthening national power transmission network, increasing the generation of electricity through investment in cheaper renewable energy, investment in water projects, expanding the roads and transport network and building adequate and affordable housing. To stimulate the 24 hour economy and catalyse the manufacturing sector, the energy charge rates for commercial and industrial customers will be reduced by 50 per cent for all consumption above set thresholds to stimulate economic growth under the Energy Regulatory Commission (ERC) gazette Time of Use Tariffs (ToU). x� Industrialization: A key objective of the MTP III is to effect structural transformation of Kenya’s economy towards increasing the share of manufacturing and industry in GDP and increasing the share of manufactured products in Kenya’s exports. Special Economic Zones (SEZs) and Industrial Parks will be established. The Government will facilitate local and foreign private investors to invest in the SEZs. x� Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs): The MSME sector employs 15 million Kenyans and contributes 29 per cent of GDP. Measures will be taken to support this Sector by improving the enabling environment including implementation of the National Credit Guarantee Scheme to facilitate access to affordable credit. The MSMEs will also be supported through development of skills and explicit linkages to domestic and external opportunities. x� Oil, Gas and Other Mineral Resources: The Government will implement various legislation and regulations which provide incentives for private investment in the oil, gas and other mineral resources sector. Priority will be given to developing supporting infrastructure for the sector. x� The Blue Economy: This will entail development of the maritime sector and the Blue economy including utilizing marine and fisheries resources in the 230,000 square Km of Kenya’s Exclusive Economic Zone in the Indian Ocean as well as in international territorial waters. It will result in increased job creation, increased export revenue and contribute to higher economic growth. x� National Skills Development Programme: The Government will implement measures to develop skills and align them to market requirements. The education curriculum will be realigned including increasing budgetary resources to expand Technical and Vocational Training (TVET) and youth polytechnics in all parts of the country. x� Productivity and competitiveness improvement: The Government will develop and implement comprehensive productivity improvement programmes in collaboration with relevant stakeholders in both public and private sectors. x� Social Protection: The Government will implement measures towards achieving comprehensive social protection. Priority will be accorded to completion of the Integrated Population Registration System which is critical to support social protection measures. x� Security: Investment in security in terms of improving welfare and housing for National Police Service and other agencies and investing in modern technology and equipment will be prioritized. Community policing initiatives will also be expanded to ensure security for all Kenyans and investors. THIRD MEDIUM TERM PLAN 2018 – 2022VISION 20304 1.4 Alignment with the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and Africa’s Agenda 2063 In September 2015, UN member countries adopted the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and its 17 Sustainable Development Goals. As part of implementing the SDGs, the Government of Kenya has already published and launched its Road Map to achieving the SDGs. The Road Map envisages a partnership with all stakeholders as well as building capacity for devolved governments to implement the SDGs. The domestication and integration of the SDGs is embedded in this MTP III, Sector Plans and County Integrated Development Plans. The policies, programmes and projects outlined in the chapters and sections of this MTP III have been integrated and aligned with the objectives of the following 17 SDGs: x� SDG 1: End Poverty and all its forms everywhere; x� SDG 2: End hunger, achieve food security and improved nutrition and promote sustainable agriculture; x� SDG 3: Ensure healthy lives and promote well- being for all at all ages; x� SDG 4 Ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all; x� SDG 5: Achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls; x� SDG 6: Ensure availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all; x� SDG 7: Ensure access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy for all; x� SDG 8: Promote, inclusive and sustainable economic growth, full and productive employment and decent work for all; x� SDG 9: Build resilient infrastructure, promote inclusive and sustainable industrialization and foster innovation; x� SDG 10: Reduce inequality within and among countries; x� SDG 11: Make cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable; x� SDG 12: Ensure sustainable consumption and production patterns; x� SDG 13: Take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts; x� SDG 14: Conserve and sustainably use the oceans, seas, and marine resources for sustainable development; x� SDG 15: Protect, restore and promote sustainable use of terrestrial ecosystems, sustainably manage forests, combat desertification, and halt and reverse land degradation and halt bio diversity loss; x� SDG 16: Promote peaceful and inclusive societies for sustainable development, provide access to justice for all and build effective, accountable and inclusive institutions at all levels; and x� SDG 17: Strengthen the means of implementation and revitalize the global partnership for sustainable development. The MTP III policies, programmes and projects are also aligned with the aspirations of Africa’s Agenda 2063 which is the strategic framework for the socio-economic transformation of the continent over the next 50 years. It builds on, and seeks to accelerate the implementation of past and existing continental initiatives for growth and sustainable development. Its guiding vision is “an integrated, prosperous and peaceful Africa, driven by its own citizens and representing a dynamic force in international arena”. The MTP III has integrated and aligned the following seven (7) aspirations of Africa’s Agenda 2063: x� Aspiration 1: A prosperous Africa based on inclusive growth and sustainable development; x� Aspiration 2: An integrated continent, politically united based on the ideals of Pan-Africanism and the vision of Africa’s renaissance; x� Aspiration 3: An Africa of good governance, democracy, respect for human rights, justice and the rule of law; x� Aspiration 4: A peaceful and secure Africa; x� Aspiration 5: An Africa with a strong cultural identity, common heritage, values and ethics; x� Aspiration 6: An Africa whose development is people-driven, relying on the potential of African people, especially its women and youth, and caring for children; and, x� Aspiration 7: Africa as a strong, united, resilient and influential global player and partner. 1.5 Foreign Policy and International Relations The overarching objective of Kenya’s Foreign Policy is to project, promote and protect the nation’s interest globally. Kenya’s foreign policy is anchored on five interlinked pillars of diplomacy that characterize her bilateral and multilateral engagements. These pillars are Peace, Economic, Diaspora, Environmental and Cultural. The core priorities of Kenya’s Foreign Policy which are anchored on the five pillars are: promotion of trade, foreign direct investment, regional and international cooperation; promotion of peace, security and stability and conflict resolution as a precursor to economic prosperity; sustainable management of natural resources and combating contemporary environmental issues; preservation and promotion of the country’s cultural heritage; promoting and safeguarding Kenya’s interests abroad and enhancement of Diaspora engagement and their participation in national development. Kenya’s pan-African agenda is to consolidate Africa’s voice, pursue an African agenda from a common platform and accelerate Africa’s integration, growth and development for shared prosperity. In pursuing this objective, the Kenya Foreign Policy will be aligned towards THIRD MEDIUM TERM PLAN 2018 – 2022 VISION 2030 5 fostering better relations with our immediate neighbours, the rest of Africa and the world at large. At the multilateral level, Kenya will continue to play a critical role in shaping global environmental agenda, particularly on climate change and sustainable development. Kenya will continue to engage the rest of the global community with a view to expanding its economic ties especially in the emerging economies while at the same time seeking to deepen and maintain economic interaction with traditional partners. Kenya’s diplomatic engagement and foreign relations will be geared towards leveraging comparative advantage in order to drive transformation envisaged under the “Big Four” initiatives. Measures will also be taken to align and grow Kenya’s diplomatic footprint to enhance the country’s ability to articulate national interests abroad. 1.6 Risks to the Implementation of the MTP III and Mitigation Measures The MTP III has been prepared on the backdrop of the on-going Brexit negotiations and uncertainty on the impact on Euro area and the global economy. Global trade and growth of the world economy could also be adversely affected by the strong nationalist and anti globalization policies emerging in some leading industrial economies. Other risks relate to geo-political developments and regional conflicts which could result in rise in international oil prices, insecurity, cyber-attacks and impacts of climate change. The Government will implement measures and strategies to mitigate such risks, including diversifying Kenya’s trade into new markets and implementing reforms that enhance the competitiveness and resilience of Kenya’s economy to enable it compete effectively and cope with emerging challenges locally and in the global arena. THIRD MEDIUM TERM PLAN 2018 – 2022VISION 20306 THE MACROECONOMIC FRAMEWORK 2.0 Overview The medium term macroeconomic framework for the period 2018-2022 is consistent with the Kenya Vision 2030. It aims at putting the economy on a sustainable growth of 7 per cent by end of the Plan period. The implementation of the framework will be supported by policy, legal, institutional and structural reforms that will be implemented by the Government to strengthen macroeconomic stability, improve business environment and transparency and accountability in use of public resources. The framework will support realization of Vision 2030 and the “Big Four” initiatives, SDGs and aspirations of Africa’s Agenda 2063 which seek to achieve broad based inclusive growth that will contribute towards reduction of poverty and income inequality, and employment creation. 2.1 Progress in Implementation of the Macroeconomic Framework of the Second MTP (MTP II) The main goal of the MTP II macroeconomic framework for the period 2013-2017 was to put the economy on a high and inclusive growth trajectory to achieve a double digit growth rate by the end of the Plan period. The framework also targeted to create more jobs including enhancing the share of formal sector jobs. Attainment of these objectives were anchored on a macroeconomic foundation that ensured stability in price level, sustainable fiscal deficits, increased share of infrastructure investments to GDP, sustained levels of public sector debt and balance of payments, transparent and accountable use of public resources and a conducive business environment. 2.1.1 Overall Economic Performance During the review period, the economy recorded growth rates of 5.9 per cent in 2013, 5.4 per cent in 2014, 5.7 per cent in 2015, 5.9 per cent in 2016 and 4.9 per cent in 2017, all of which were lower than it was projected in MTP II as shown in Table 2.1. Among the factors which explain the lower than projected growth is insecurity, which negatively impacted inflow of investment and growth of key sectors such as tourism. Other factors included the slowdown in the growth of the manufacturing sector occasioned by imports of cheaper manufactured products and subsequent reduction in the share of Kenya’s manufactured export in the regional market, adverse weather patterns which affected growth of the agriculture sector, impediments to access credit and the slow uptake of Public Private Partnership (PPP) projects. Table 2.1: Targeted and Actual GDP and Sectoral Growth Rates, 2012-2017 Source: Economic Survey 2018 2.1.2 Review of Performance of Key Sectors Agriculture Sector: During the MTP II period, growth in the agriculture sector registered low performance compared to the projections except for 2013 (See Table 2.1). The Sector grew by 5.4 per cent in 2013, 4.4 per cent in 2014, 5.3 per cent in 2015, 4.7 per cent in 2016 and 1.6 per cent in 2017. This is on account of adverse weather conditions and pest and crop diseases which affected production of key food crops such as maize. Other factors constraining the Sector’s growth included slow implementation of key initiatives among them delay in the construction of the High Grand Falls Dam and Galana Dam to support the irrigation of one million acres flagship project and slow progress in promotion of value addition to agricultural produce. During this Plan period, the Government has prioritized the construction of the two large dams for the Galana-Kulalu flagship irrigation project as well as other smaller dams for small scale irrigation projects to support growth of agriculture sector and attainment of the goals of Food and Nutrition Security (FNS). Industry Sector: The Sector recorded lower than targeted growth, growing by 5.3 per cent in 2013, 5.6 per cent in 2014, 7.0 per cent in 2015, 5.5 per cent in 2016 and 3.4 per cent in 2017. Despite recording lower than projected growth, the sector performance accelerated steadily in the first three years of the review period which is attributed largely to continued development of infrastructure such as roads, ports, railway and power plants. However, the growth of manufacturing stagnated averaging 2.9 per cent between 2013 and 2017 due to low competitiveness of Kenya’s manufactured products. To address this, the Government enacted the Special Economic Zones Act 2015 which provides a framework for the establishment of Special Economic Zones and Industrial Parks in the country. The Mining Act 2016 is also expected to support investments in the mining and quarrying sub-sector and contribute to the growth of the industrial sector. 2 THIRD MEDIUM TERM PLAN 2018 – 2022 VISION 2030 7 Services Sector: Despite the decline in tourism, the services sector registered resilient growth growing at an average of 6.1 per cent over the MTP II period with finance and insurance, real estate and ICT recording relatively high growth rates. On average, finance and insurance grew by 7.1 per cent over the five year period. It is expected that the Nairobi International Financial Centre Act 2017 will further boost the growth of Service Sector by facilitating and supporting the development of an efficient and globally competitive financial services sector in Kenya that generates high levels of national savings and investments. 2.1.3 Performance of Key Macroeconomic Indicators The target for the MTP II was to pursue prudent macroeconomic policies to ensure fiscal and debt sustainability. Total revenue as a percentage of GDP stood at 19.2 per cent in 2013/2014, 19 per cent in 2014/2015, 18.4 per cent in 2015/2016 and 19.1 per cent in 2016/2017, which were slightly below targets of 24.9 per cent, 25 per cent, 20.2 per cent and 19.8 per cent respectively. Expenditure and net lending as a percentage of GDP were also below target at 25.6 per cent, 28.1 per cent, 26.6 per cent and 27.6 per cent over the same period. Gross national savings increased from 12.4 per cent of GDP in FY 2012/13 to 16.2 per cent of GDP in FY 2015/16 but declined to 12.4 per cent of GDP in 2016/17 while investments increased from 20.9 per cent of GDP in FY 2012/13 to 22.5 per cent of GDP in FY 2014/15 due to public infrastructural developments. However in FY 2015/16 and 2016/17, investments declined to 19.5 and 17.5 per cent of GDP, respectively. Public debt (net) as a percentage of GDP increased from 43.9 per cent in 2013/2014 to 51.2 per cent in 2016/2017. The MTP II programmed to reduce the ratio of domestic and external financing to 30:70 by the end of the Plan period. In this regard, the ratio of domestic to external financing stood at 66:34 in 2013/2014, 53:47 in 2014/2015, 44:56 in 2015/2016, and 45:55 in 2016/17 progressing towards MTP II target to avoid crowding out the private sector in the credit market. Despite Government borrowing of USD 2 billion each through Sovereign Bond in 2013/2014 and 2016/17, and an additional USD 750 million from international investors by re-opening (tapping) the Bond in 2014/15; external debt remains largely on concessional terms. The Central Bank of Kenya (CBK) continued to pursue prudent monetary policy to ensure price stability. The inflation rate averaged 7.1 per cent, 6.6 per cent, 6.4 per cent and 6.9 per cent during 2013/14, 2014/2015, 2015/2016 and 2016/2017 respectively, against the Government target of 5.0 + or - 2.5 per cent. International reserves were above target and increased from 3.8 months of import cover in FY 2012/13 to 6.2 months of import cover in FY 2015/16. The targets for current account balance including official transfers were met with the current account improving from a deficit of 8.9 per cent of GDP in FY 2012/13 to 3.2 per cent of GDP in FY 2015/16 before widening to 5.9 per cent in 2016/17. Table 2.2: Summary of Key Macroeconomic Indicators, 2012/2013 - 2016/2017 Source: Economic Survey 2018, CBK and BPS 2018 2.1.4 Medium Term Employment Review During the MTP II, the Government committed to create an average of one million jobs annually to address youth unemployment and upscale skill training. The Government policy also aimed at increasing the proportion of modern sector employment from 12 per cent in 2012 to 40 per cent by the end of Plan period. On average, 826,600 jobs were created annually between 2013 and 2017 against an average annual target of 1,034,000 jobs over the same period. With exception of the initial year of MTP II, the other four years registered lower than the targeted number of jobs. As indicated in Table 2.3, the number of formal sector jobs created averaged 112,820 between 2013 and 2017. On the other hand, the number of informal sector jobs created increased progressively from 601,700 to 787,800 over the review period. THIRD MEDIUM TERM PLAN 2018 – 2022VISION 20308 Although most of the jobs created were in the informal sector, it is likely that some of those categorized as informal are actually formal sector jobs. These can be re-classified as part of formal modern sector employment through policy review by the relevant authorities. Currently, informal sector jobs are characterized as those not formally registered; hence many of the jobs in the modern sector are inaccurately classified, thus reducing the tax base for raising revenue. Table 2.3: Employment Targets and Actuals (,000) 2013-2017 Source: Economic Survey, 2018 2.1.5 Structural Reforms The MTP II targeted to ensure that Kenya ranks among the top 50 countries in both the Ease of Doing Business and the Global Competitiveness Index (GCI). According to World Bank, 2018 Ease of Doing Business Report, Kenya’s ranking improved significantly from position 129 in 2013 to position 80 out of 189 countries in 2017. For two years in a row, Kenya has been ranked as the 3rd most improved country globally in the Ease of Doing Business survey, making Kenya an attractive investment destination. As a result, about 200 international companies have established offices in Kenya, with 20 being established as regional headquarters. Despite not achieving the targeted rank, Kenya has recorded the most marked improvement in starting a business, electricity connectivity, registering property and accessing credit. This is attributed to digitization of the Company and Land Registries, rolling out of Huduma Centres and The Last Mile Electricity Connectivity Programme. Kenya ranked position 91 out of 137 countries in 2017-2018 compared to position 96 out of 144 countries in 2013-2014 in the GCI. Competitiveness is defined as the set of institutions, policies and factors that determine the level of productivity of a country. GCI tracks performance on 12 pillars namely: institutions, infrastructure, macroeconomic environment, health and primary education, higher education and training, goods market efficiency, labour market efficiency, financial market development, technological readiness, market size, business sophistication, and innovation. The 2017-2018 GCI report identifies 16 highly problematic areas with corruption being the most prominent, the major cause being greed. The Government in collaboration with other stakeholders will therefore, address the issue of corruption which is a major impediment to economic growth. The Government continues to re-engineer business processes of six of the ten World Bank Doing Business Indicators. The process of connecting electricity to businesses, for instance, has been simplified to only three steps and the time taken has reduced from 155 to 70 days. Under the Business Registration Service Act 2015, the process of registering business in Kenya has been made easier by the implementation of various reforms, such as online title search and online reservation of business name. The Government enacted the Public Private Partnership Act 2013, the Business Registration Service Act 2015 and the Special Economic Zones Act 2015 to facilitate private sector investment in infrastructure and other sectors of the economy. In addition, the National Productivity Centre and the Competition Authority have been strengthened to enable them to effectively perform their mandates in order to enhance productivity and competitiveness of the economy. Further, the Public Finance Management Act, 2012 was revised in 2015 while the Public Finance Management (County Government) Regulations, 2015 and Public Finance Management (National Government) Regulations, 2015 were issued in order to improve the management of public resources. Significant progress was made on implementation of Public Finance Management Reforms Strategy 2013-2018. There are areas where implementation of the reforms lagged behind and affected the achievement of the planned targets. Most notable of these include the introduction of the Treasury Single Account (TSA) at National and County levels, payroll and pension reforms, and expansion of PFM systems. However, measures are currently being put in place to operationalize the TSA to ensure efficient and effective cash management. The Debt Management Office at the National Treasury was restructured to comprehensively manage debt related functions in line with the Constitution and PFM Act, 2012, revised in 2015. In an effort to address procurement bottlenecks and build capacity both at national and county governments, the Public Procurement and Disposal Act 2015 was enacted. ICT initiatives such as re-engineering IFMIS were strengthened at both national and county levels. Plan to Budget, Procure to Pay and e-Business Suite - three core Modules of IFMIS were rolled out at the county level. Additionally, the strategy to roll out the National Integrated Monitoring and Evaluation System (NIMES) to county governments is in place. Implementation of the electronic Project Management Information System (e-ProMIS) progressed well with over 3,500 projects uploaded by MDAs and training for counties initiated to enable them utilize the system. 2013 2014 2015 2016 2017 Target Actual Target Actual Target Actual Target Actual Target Actual Formal 108 134.2 164 106.3 250 128 418 85.6 573 110 Informal 615 601.7 657 695.9 750 713.6 776 747.3 859 787.8 Total 723 735.9 821 802.2 1,000 841.6 1,194 832.9 1,432 897.8 Ratio of formal 0.15 0.18 0.20 0.13 0.25 0.15 0.35 0.103 0.4 0.12 Ratio of informal 0.85 0.82 0.80 0.87 0.75 0.85 0.65 0.897 0.6 0.88 THIRD MEDIUM TERM PLAN 2018 – 2022 VISION 2030 9 Although most of the jobs created were in the informal sector, it is likely that some of those categorized as informal are actually formal sector jobs. These can be re-classified as part of formal modern sector employment through policy review by the relevant authorities. Currently, informal sector jobs are characterized as those not formally registered; hence many of the jobs in the modern sector are inaccurately classified, thus reducing the tax base for raising revenue. 2.1.6 National Statistical System MTP II targeted to strengthen the National Statistical System to support planning, and monitoring and evaluation of policies and programmes. In this regard, the Kenya National Bureau of Statistics (KNBS) established offices in each of the 47 counties to coordinate statistical capacity building programmes at the county level and ensure that international standards are applied in the production and dissemination of county statistics. The MTP II also envisaged that a number of surveys and censuses were to be conducted to improve on the quality and timeliness of data. Significant progress was made as indicated in Table 2.4. Table 2.4: Status of the Implementation of Surveys Undertaken in MTP II Source: The Kenya National Bureau of Statistics (KNBS) To support policy, planning, budgeting, monitoring and evaluation, KNBS produced various statistical publications. These include the Revised and Rebased National Accounts Report; Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises Survey (MSME, 2016); Kenya Demographic and Health Survey (KDHS, 2014/15); Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) Survey and the 2015/16 Kenya Integrated Household Budget Survey (KIHBS). To provide information to the public in line with the Constitution, KNBS improved on dissemination of products through enhancement of the website, the use of social media and rejuvenation of data dissemination portals. The Bureau developed the advance release calendar and data quality assessment frameworks to ensure that statistics are produced in accordance with internationally agreed practices. To expedite the time taken before the release of the various statistical products, KNBS embraced the use of modern technology in data collection and processing. This has led to considerable reduction in the time taken to implement surveys and censuses and release of the reports to inform policy formulation. 2.1.7 Tax Reforms Various reforms aimed at enhancing government revenue were implemented. These include: Integrated Tax Management System (ITMS): The second phase of the Integrated Tax Management System ended in February 2014, after which Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) adopted iTax which is a superior IT-based Tax Management System that is fully operational. The overall business objective of the iTax system is to create a unified taxpayer database that will lead to improved tax payers data quality, increased efficiency in the tax administration, identification and treatment of risks and better decision making process. As at March 2017, 4.93 million taxpayers were registered on iTax with their profiles and details updated on the iPage. The number of active taxpayers stood at 3.6 million as at September, 2017. A total of 24 iTax support centres have been established countrywide to offer necessary assistance to taxpayers. Since August 2015, all tax returns are filed online. iTax is already integrated with IFMIS, NSSF and CBK and plans are under way to integrate it with other systems such as NHIF and e-Citizen. Payments of Taxes via Mobile Money: The system of payments of taxes via mobile money has been implemented and payments can now be made via Safaricom’s Mpesa system and Airtel Money. Survey/Census Objective (s) Status 1. Kenya Integrated Household Budget Survey (KIHBS) 2015/16 The Survey was expected to: Update parameters used in national resource allocation Update household consumption benchmarks Provide estimates for endline of MDGs and a baseline for SDGs Facilitate compilation of county -specific socio -economic indicators Meet demand for emerging issues such as domestic concept in CPI, domestic tourism, ICT and others Update the labour indicators e.g. un employment rates Basic Reports on: Wellbeing, Labour Force and Socioeconomic Indicators were released by end of third quarter 2017/18 2. Census of Agriculture Develop a frame for use in Agricultural surveys Preparatory activities towards undertaking a Cen sus of large Agricultural farms were initiated . 3. Census Business establishment Develop and revamp the Business register Census carried out and the process of revamping the business register on -going 4. Generation of County Statistical Abstracts � Inform coun ties on the status of various socio economic indicators. � Assist in planning and policy formulation and; � Monitoring and evaluation County Statistical Abstracts for all counties produced and disseminated THIRD MEDIUM TERM PLAN 2018 – 2022VISION 203010 Turnover Tax: The Turnover Tax (ToT) was revamped and implemented to make it more efficient and easy for taxpayers to comply. Brief and simplified procedures handbooks were developed for ToT taxpayers and disseminated to relevant associations and stakeholders. Recruitment of SME taxpayers as at June 2015 stood at 417,497 against a corporate target of 403,176. Taxation of Real Estate Sector: The implementation of Geo–spatial Revenue Collection Information System (GEOCRIS), a system that uses geo-spatial to locate property is yet to be implemented. It is envisaged that this will enhance revenue collection from real estate sector. However, the use of simplified rental income taxation commenced on 1st January 2016 and by the end of Financial Year 2015/2016, a total of 14,000 new landlords had filed returns. In 2016/17, a total of 16,983 new landlords were recruited whereas in the first quarter of 2017/18, a total of 3,500 new landlords were recruited. Taxation of High Net Worth Individuals (HNWI): A dedicated unit to handle taxation of HNWI was established in the Domestic Taxes Department and a framework developed to guide on the identification of the HNWI. Successes recorded under this reform initiative include: identification of HNWIs and migrating them to iTax (Initial 70), conducted trainings to the HNWIs and their agents, courtesy visits and enhanced revenue collection. The identified HNWIs are usually encouraged to have open communication between all parties involved so as to achieve a swift resolution of any tax issue. This is a key initiative identified under the tax base expansion strategy with an aim of increasing the number of HNWIs. Single Customs Territory (SCT): The SCT and introduction of tax payment at first point of entry is being implemented by Customs Services Department (CSD) in collaboration with other East African Community (EAC) Partner States that include Uganda, South Sudan, Tanzania, Burundi and Rwanda. As at September 2017, approximately 70 per cent of all the goods under transit were being cleared under SCT framework. Integrated Customs Management System (iCMS): This was implemented to replace the Simba 2005 System. The iCMS has the following components: value benchmarking; auto population of declaration; importer intervention; automated tariff book; virtual auction; and, linkage to iTax for data sharing and compliance vetting. Implementation of Electronic Cargo Tracking System (ECTS): The Regional ECTS has been implemented in the EAC along the Northern Corridor. As at November, 2017, a total of 2,900 seals were in use out of the expected 17,000 seals. Plans are underway to roll out the remaining seals by October, 2019 and extend coverage to the Central Corridor. Transfer Pricing: A review of the governance of the Transfer Pricing programme was undertaken. An International Tax office was created as a division within Domestic Taxes Department to deal with all aspects of international taxation including protecting Kenya’s tax base through legislative and operational intervention to prevent effects of Base Erosion and Profit Shifting (BEPS) schemes, strengthening tax information exchange agreements and treaties signed with various countries. Kenya is now a member of Global Forum on Transparency and Exchange of Information for tax purposes. Modernization of Tax Legislations: Various tax laws were modernised and simplified for easier tax administration, elimination of unnecessary tax expenses and conformity to international best practises. They included: the VAT Act 2013; the Excise Act 2015; and, the Tax Procedures Act 2015. At the same time, Income Tax Act was amended to include a Ninth schedule for taxation of both mining and oil exploration. County Taxation: KRA expanded its presence to cover 45 counties and engaged County Governments to increase tax base and revenue collection. It signed memoranda of understanding with Kiambu and Laikipia counties on collection of land rates and single business permits. Further, it engaged Makueni, Machakos, Kisumu, Kitui, Homa Bay, Vihiga, Migori and Kakamega Counties on this initiative. Strengthening and Revamping Tax Enforcement Mechanisms: Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) implemented several strategies to strengthen and revamp tax enforcement mechanisms. These included: use of tools such as scanners at points of entry, detector dogs and boats; enhanced usage and compliance with Excisable Goods Management System covering tobacco, wines & spirits; and continuing expansion of withholding VAT coverage. IFMIS-iTax and IFMIS-NSSF linkages were completed thereby enabling KRA to widen its taxpayer data capture. As at November 2017, eight (8) scanners were operational. These include: Four (4) scanners at Kilindini Port; and one (1) pallet scanner each at Moi International Airport, Mombasa; Africa Cargo Handlers Limited at JKIA; Inland Container Deport at Embakasi, Nairobi; and Eldoret International Airport. 2.2 Third Medium Term Macro–Fiscal Framework and Growth Strategy Prospects Despite the challenges encountered during implementation of the MTP II, macroeconomic prospects for the medium term period remain favourable. Forecast for the global economy indicates that world output will grow at an average rate of 3.7 per cent over the period 2018 2022. Growth forecast for emerging market and developing economies are more favourable. On average, these economies are projected to grow by 4.9 per cent in 2018 to 5.0 per cent in 2022, thus opening up opportunities to expand trade and investment for Kenya. Growth in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) is projected to average 3.3 per cent in 2018 and increase to 3.9 per cent in 2022. However, growth in the EAC region is expected to average at around 6 to 8 per cent therefore offering opportunities for expansion of regional trade. THIRD MEDIUM TERM PLAN 2018 – 2022 VISION 2030 11 Kenya will continue to pursue policies which promote trade and investment through economic partnerships as well as bilateral arrangements. Increased focus will be directed to secure rapid expansion of Kenya’s share of intra-African and global trade. The MTP III will focus on accelerating industrialization to address the remaining bottlenecks that continue to hold back the economy from achieving its full potential. This will be realized through implementation of the “Big Four” initiatives. Macroeconomic stability will be a key enabler for attainment of the Plan through ensuring low inflation, stable exchange and interest rates, sustainable debt position and fiscal space. During the MTP III period, the Government will implement additional legal and institutional reforms to maintain and strengthen macroeconomic stability. The medium term macro–fiscal framework will ensure sustainable debt and improvement in expenditure management. In particular, the fiscal deficit will be gradually lowered (by closing the gap between revenue and expenditure) while at the same time providing sufficient room to finance productive expenditure to sustain high economic growth. Further, expenditures will be scrutinized carefully to ensure quality and alignment with the MTP III targets. In addition, the Government will continue to implement public sector and governance reforms in the areas of administration of justice and law and order so as to improve the ease of doing business and to sustain a favourable business environment that will promote investment, growth, and employment creation. Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) is also expected to increase on account of investment in Special Economic Zones (SEZ), the oil and minerals resources sector and under implementation of key infrastructure projects through PPP arrangements. The Government will pursue a balanced broad based, investment led, low deficit and low debt growth framework. The overall real GDP growth is projected to increase from 5.8 per cent in 2018 to 7.0 per cent in 2022 on account of increase in investment and implementation of reforms, programmes and projects in all key sectors of the economy (See Table 2.5). Table 2.5: Real and Sectoral Growth Targets (%) 2018-2022 Source: KIPPRA Macro Model Agricultural Sector The prioritization of Food and Nutrition Security under the “Big Four” initiatives is expected to contribute to higher growth of the agricultural sector through development of 1.2 million acres of commercial irrigated production to enhance food production. This will entail implementation of measures to ensure rapid attraction for 10,000+acre plots with performance management. The growth will be supported by among others, provision of extension services and subsidized inputs for small holder farmers. Other measures will include livestock and crop insurance scheme, development of the Blue economy and fisheries, and measures to promote exports of agricultural and livestock products in the regional and international markets that will further boost the sector’s value addition. Industrial Sector In order to effect structural transformation of Kenya’s economy, growth of the industrial sector is projected to expand steadily from 5.8 per cent in 2018 to over 7.0 per cent in 2022. Prioritization of manufacturing as a “Big Four” initiative is expected to contribute to faster and higher growth of this sector by targeting to increase manufacturing contribution to GDP from 9.2 per cent in 2016 to 15 per cent in 2022. Special focus will be on sectors such as textiles and apparel, leather processing and construction materials. Measures will also be implemented to increase agro-processing to at least 50 per cent of agricultural production. The Government will also facilitate the private sector to invest in Special Economic Zones (SEZs) and in industrial and SME parks. Implementation of the new Mining Act, 2016 based on global mining best practices and of the Petroleum Exploration and Production Bill which will be enacted into law are also expected to result in increased investment and spur industrial sector growth. The standard gauge railway line and increase in investment in renewable and other cheaper sources of energy will also support the sector’s growth. Additionally, growth of the industry sector will be supported by growth of the building and construction sector due to increased infrastructure spending during the Plan period. Service Sector The Services Sector is targeted to grow from 6.0 per cent in 2018 to 7.0 per cent in 2022. It will benefit from expansion of financial services due to establishment of the Nairobi International Financial Services Centre over the MTP III period. It will also benefit from the recovery and growth in tourism, expansion of transport services and the rapid growth in the ICT and ICT enabled business services as well as achieving 100 per cent Universal Health Coverage. 2018 2019 2020 2021 2022 Overall GDP 5.8 6.0 6.6 6.8 7.0 Agriculture 5.7 5.5 6.0 6.7 5.9 Industry 5.8 6.4 7.5 8.6 7.9 Services 6.0 6.4 6.7 6.8 7.0 THIRD MEDIUM TERM PLAN 2018 – 2022VISION 203012 2.2.1 Medium Term Macroeconomic Projections The Government will pursue prudent fiscal and monetary policies. The fiscal policy focuses on supporting rapid and inclusive economic growth, supporting devolution, reducing fiscal deficit and ensuring sustainable debt position. This will entail strengthening the revenue effort through on-going reforms in tax policy and revenue administration and containing the growth of total expenditure by shifting composition of expenditure from recurrent to capital expenditure, and eliminating unproductive expenditures. The fiscal policy will also target to rationalize and align resources to priority programmes to ensure outcomes are delivered cheaply and efficiently. In addition, the Government will continue to pursue a fiscal consolidation programme that targets to reduce deficit from 7.2 per cent of GDP in FY 2017/18 to 3.0 per cent of GDP in FY 2021/22. The projected consolidation is driven more by slowdown in ministerial expenditures and boosted by dividends from the on-going reforms to enhance domestic revenue mobilization. The fiscal consolidation will also support the reduction of the public debt to GDP ratio from 53.0 per cent in 2017/18 to 43.6 per cent per cent in 2021/22. Further, the Government will continue borrowing from domestic and external sources as well as diversifying the sources of financial resources over the medium term by maintaining a presence in the international capital markets. It will utilize and maximize the official external sources for loans on concessional terms. Non-concessional and commercial external borrowing will be limited to development projects with high financial and economic returns. On the external front, the extent of foreign exchange risk exposure associated with external debt portfolio will be minimised by adopting a deliberate approach in diversifying currency structure so as to hedge against exchange risks especially to new loan commitments. A cautious approach will be adopted in the issuance of external government loan guarantees and provision of support to minimize the risk exposure to contingent liabilities. Over the medium term period, savings and investment ratios to GDP are projected to rise from 13.6 per cent and 19.7 per cent respectively in FY 2017/18 to 19.2 per cent and 23.4 per cent in FY 2021/22. The implementation of the contributory pension scheme for public servants and introduction of new financial instruments which enable savings through mobile phones will enhance savings. Tax reforms will be enhanced consistent with the objective of gradually reducing fiscal deficits. The monetary policy will aim to maintain inflation within the 5.0 plus (+) or minus (-) 2.5 per cent target, strengthen the international reserves position to over 4.5 months of import cover, stabilize interest rates to provide space for increased private sector credit, and a competitive exchange rate to support productive activities.

Its services must be transparent and corruption free. Public Sector plays a critical role in providing overall policy direction and leadership to the country, initiating national legislation, as well as provision of public services ranging from security, health, education, water and sanitation, to name a few. An efficient, effective, equitable and ethical public sector is vital to the successful implementation of policies, programmes and projects outlined in Kenya Vision 2030 and it’s Medium Term Plans (MTPs). Under the Third MTP, these will be achieved through building and strengthening institutional capacities in the public service, sound financial management, efficient and fair collection of taxes, and transparent processes. These reforms will place emphasis on the delivery of public services and in the implementation of government “Big Four” transformative agenda. 3.5.1 Situation Analysis Key achievements in the Sector during the MTP II period include the following: Results Based Management (RBM) in the Public Service: The institutionalization of RBM in the public service continued during the review period to ensure citizens access quality services. This led to increased focus on results, improved human resource capacity, increased value for money, transparency and accountability in service delivery. Performance Management: Performance management training was undertaken and County Performance Management Framework (CPMF) developed and harmonized with the National Performance Management Framework (NPMF) to improve human resource management in the counties. In addition, over 300 Rapid Results Initiatives (RRI), RBM, and business processes reengineering coaches were trained on transformational leadership. A total of 303 MDAs and 24 counties have so far adopted performance contracting. Huduma Kenya Integrated Service Delivery Model: Integrated service delivery (One-stop shop) was implemented through the establishment of Huduma Centres across the country. A total of 52 Huduma Centres in 47 counties have been established and operationalized, offering over 70 services. In addition, one (1) Government-Wide Contact Centre, Smart Service and Payment Card, e-Huduma and m-Huduma Service delivery systems were launched. Further, Huduma Mashinani outreaches were held in over 160 towns; Staff Rationalization: A Capacity Assessment and Rationalization of the Public Service (CARPS) programme study was conducted. The study findings revealed, among others, that the public service workforce is aging with 60 per cent of the public servants aged 45 years and above and will be exiting the service in the next 10 to 15 years. It also revealed that there is a shortage of technical and professional staff. The Sector also developed and launched the Human Resource Planning and Succession Management Strategy to guide in addressing some of the findings of CARPS. Human Resource Management Policies: Various Acts, policies, strategies and guidelines were developed to guide and standardize public service management practices and processes across the service. These included: Public Service (Values and Principles) Act, 2015; Public Service Transformation Framework and guidelines; Human Resource Development Policy; Internship Policy; Public Service Norms and Standards; Human Resource Strategy for the Public Service; Human Resource Policies and Procedures Manual in the Public Service. In addition, job evaluation was undertaken to harmonize grading structure and address existing remuneration and benefits disparities and inequalities in the public service. Further, the Sector developed and rolled out a Policy on decentralization of human resource management in the public service; guidelines on organizational structures in the service; guidelines on establishment and abolition of offices in the public service; reviewed the Human Resource Policies and Procedures Manual for the Public Service, automated the Discipline Management System (DMS) and the Staff Performance Appraisal System (SPAS) on Government Human Resource Information System (GHRIS). Career Management Strategy: The Sector developed organization structures and determined staffing levels for newly established State Departments; developed schemes of service and career progression guidelines for cadres in the Civil Service and State Corporations. Generic organization structure and guidelines for entry, progression and grading of staff in the county governments were also developed. Public Service Ethics and Values: The Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) conducted a national ethics and corruption survey in 2015. The survey report identified: Intentional delay in service provision, bribery, and lateness and absenteeism as three (3) most common forms of unethical behaviour by public servants. The report further recommended law enforcement, public education, adoption of good morals and transparency in public service as key in curbing corruption. The Survey also found out that the most common reason for corruption behaviour is greed followed by low remuneration. THIRD MEDIUM TERM PLAN 2018 – 2022 VISION 2030 29 Upgrading the Kenya School of Government (KSG): KSG continued with the development of infrastructural facilities and the curriculum for both national and county governments’ officials. The curricula included programmes such as transformational leadership, management for results, business process re-engineering, public service values and principles, performance management, and information, communication and technology. Focus on training shifted to competency-based training and capacity building for improved service delivery as well as attitudinal change. National Productivity and Global Competitiveness: The Sector finalized the National Productivity Policy Framework. The implementation of the framework entailed promotion of productivity improvement tools in 125 enterprises in the country. It also trained over 300 technical service providers on productivity and undertook two productivity surveys on productivity awareness in the country. In addition, national and sector level productivity measurements were undertaken to provide sector-based productivity indices. Public Finance Reforms: The Public Finance Management Act 2012 was revised in 2015 while PFM (County Government) Regulations, 2015 and PFM (National Government) Regulations, 2015 were issued in order to improve the management of public resources. The Government also enacted Public Procurement and Asset Disposal Act 2015 and Public Audit Act 2015. Integrated Tax System (iTax) system was rolled out, leading to the automation of recording, accounting and reporting on various sources of income with the aim of easing administration and provision of better services to tax payers. In the budgeting process, achievements were made through the Medium Term Expenditure Framework (MTEF) to align budgeting and planning at both the national and counties. Reforms in the Administration of Justice: The Sector introduced performance management in all courts and directorates through the signing of Performance Management and Measurement Understandings (PMMUs). A new performance appraisal tool and the guiding framework was also developed and implemented to all judiciary staff. In conformity to the Constitution, to bring justice closer to the people, magistrate courts were increased from 109 to 120, while 11 stand-alone Kadhis Courts and 39 mobile courts were established and operationalized. Further Environment and Land Courts were also established in 26 counties. Foreign Affairs Reforms: The Cabinet approved the transformation of the Foreign Service Institute (FSI) into a Semi-Autonomous Government Agency (SAGA). The Foreign Service Academy Strategic Plan 2016-2020 was also launched and the Africa Union Institute of Remittances established in Kenya. The sector also finalized, launched and implemented the Kenya Diaspora Policy. These reforms resulted in increased remittances from Ksh.129 billion in 2013 to Ksh.156 billion 2016, representing 3 per cent of Kenya’s GDP. The Sector also facilitated the establishment of passport issuance offices at the Kenyan Embassy in Washington, London, Berlin, South Africa and the Consulate General of Kenya in Dubai, with a view to taking services closer to Kenyans in the Diaspora. Their coverage extends to the other countries in their respective regions. Devolution: Kenya continued to strengthen the devolved system of government. Various institutions and intergovernmental structures such as the Intergovernmental Relations Technical Committee, Intergovernmental Public Sector Sectoral Forum, Intergovernmental Budget and Economic Committee (IBEC) were launched and operationalized to foster cooperation and collaboration between the two levels of government. 3.5.2 Emerging Issues, Challenges and Lessons Learnt Emerging Issue x� Cyber-crime related activities that tend to compromise Government’s digitization efforts.

According to the 2015/16 Kenya Integrated Household Budget Survey, about 72 per cent of the country’s population is under 35 year of age. An essentially young population with relevant job skills could be a great asset to the country and it puts Kenya in a competitive position to attract capital by taking advantage of the labour pool. The result would be “the demographic dividend” contributing to high economic growth, through rising savings as a result of lower dependency ratio. The Sector therefore, will continue to play a key role in the achievement of the aspirations of the Kenya Vision 2030 through the creation of jobs, improvement of productivity and promotion of conducive working conditions for Kenyans. The Sector’s goals are well aligned to the constitution which has entrenched labour, employment and social security rights as well as the protection of vulnerable groups. The Sector will be critical in achieving the country’s “Big Four” initiatives on manufacturing, housing, food and nutrition security and universal health coverage. The Sector will implement various programmes and projects that will also lead to achievement of the Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) number eight(8) on decent work and economic growth. 3.6.1 Situational Analysis During the Second Medium Term Plan period, the country created about 4.1 million jobs, mostly for the youth, with the informal sector accounting for 83.1 per cent of the total. This was however not at pace with the growth of the labour force which was estimated at 23 million in 2012 and increased to 27 million in 2017. Several key policy, legal and institutional reforms were achieved. A total of four (4) labour and employment policies were developed. These are Sessional Paper No. 2 of 2013 on Industrial Training and Attachment Policy; Sessional Paper No. 3 of 2013 on National Productivity Policy; Sessional Paper No. 4 of 2013 on Employment Policy and Strategy for Kenya; and Sessional Paper No. 1 of 2015 on National Policy on Elimination of Child Labour. In addition, the Diaspora Policy, and Public Sector Workplace Policy on HIV and AIDS were developed. The National Employment Authority Act, 2016 was enacted, creating the National Employment Authority. The National Industrial Training Authority (NITA) and Micro and Small Enterprise Authority (MSEA) were also operationalized. Further, the National Social Security Fund (NSSF) Act, of 2013 facilitated the transformation of NSSF from a Provident Fund to a Pension Scheme with two schemes: the new Provident Fund and a Pension Scheme. The Sector also made notable progress in human resource planning and development as well as development of critical skills. These included development of accurate, timely and updated labour market information which is important for effective planning, development and utilization of human resources. A total of 106,418 persons were trained in various industrial skills while various skills development programmes were upgraded, and tailor-made curricula for targeted industries developed and implemented to respond to industry specific skill requirements. THIRD MEDIUM TERM PLAN 2018 – 2022VISION 203032 Targeted productivity awareness campaigns were carried out in Kitui, Machakos, Kisumu, Nairobi, Busia and Nakuru counties while productivity improvement programmes were implemented in 151 private sector companies and organizations countrywide. A total of 10,778 work injury benefit claims were processed and claims processing time reduced considerably from 30 working days in 2013/14 to 5 working days in 2016/17. Construction of the Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) Institute continued and was 85 per cent complete at the end of 2016/17 Financial Year. Phase one of the National OSH Database Management System was completed and a pilot OSH Baseline Survey conducted. A total of 56,589 reported industrial disputes were resolved, 1,818 strikes apprehended, while 1,405 Collective Bargaining Agreements covering 1,284,437 unionisable employees were analysed for conformity with Wage Orders and the labour laws. Further three (3) Labour Attaché Offices were established and operationalized in Qatar, Saudi Arabia and United Arab Emirates (UAE). Negotiation of labour agreements on a bilateral basis was also initiated with Saudi Arabia, UAE, Jordan and Oman. Moreover, bilateral labour agreement for domestic workers was concluded and signed with Saudi Arabia in 2017. Active membership of the NSSF increased from 1.2 million in 2013 to 2.5 million in 2017 out of which 19 per cent (517,251) were from the informal sector. NSSF members’ contributions increased from Ksh.7.9 billion in June 2013 to Ksh.13.5 billion in June 2017, representing an average annual growth rate of 18 per cent. A baseline Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSME) Survey to provide comprehensive data, at national and county levels on the characteristics, operations, dynamics and evolving nature of MSMEs in Kenya was conducted and a report produced. A total of 13 Micro and Small Enterprises (MSE) worksites were refurbished and operationalized while a curriculum that integrates entrepreneurship was introduced in primary and secondary schools, and tertiary institutions. Further, 128,943 entrepreneurs in the MSE sector were taken through a short-term tailor-made training on entrepreneurship. Piloting of the Kenya Youth Empowerment Project (KYEP) to enhance youth employability by providing them with training and internships opportunities in the private sector was completed in Nairobi, Mombasa and Kisumu. A total of 21,393 youth were provided with core life and business skills, 13,200 youth proceeded for industry related training and workplace experience while at least 75 per cent of beneficiaries secured employment. The Studio Mashinani also dubbed ‘Talent ni Kazi’ initiative was launched. It seeks to empower the youth to build and operate independent audio music recording and creative production studios for recording quality audio music, commercials and jingle pieces. A total of five (5) studios were set up in Kenya Broadcasting Corporation (KBC) offices in Nairobi, Kisumu, Machakos and Mombasa to enable the youth to record music free of charge. 3.6.2 Emerging Issues, Challenges and Lessons Learnt Emerging issues x� Employers in Kenya insist on greater need for school leavers to have job-relevant skills and experience; x� Overlapping mandates among the newly created autonomous agencies in the Sector; x� Skills requirements following the discovery of oil, gas and other minerals; x� Emergence of “green” jobs whose creation requires an integrated framework; and x� The changing nature of the world of work. Challenges x� Inadequate human and financial resource capacity; x� High unemployment rate especially among the youth; x� Limited number of industrial training centres and outdated curriculum; x� Lack of a harmonized skills development framework; x� Outdated Training and National Occupational Classification Standards; x� Weak linkages between industry and training and research institutions; x� Weak linkages between MSMEs and large enterprises; x� Lack of an integrated framework to guide the creation of green jobs; x� Weak Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) mechanism; x� Inadequate framework to regulate and manage labour migration; x� Low levels of productivity and competitiveness; x� Upsurge in industrial action in the public sector; x� Inadequate up-to-date data on child labour; and x� Low social security coverage, especially for the youth and informal sector. Lessons Learnt x� Wide stakeholders support is key in the development and implementation of programmes; x� Setting up necessary institutional structures is critical in the implementation of Bilateral Labour Agreements; x� Adoption of modern technologies is instrumental for efficient implementation of programmes; x� The dual nature of ICT as an employment seeking tool and a jobs creator can be exploited to promote innovative job search and matching technologies which create employment opportunities; THIRD MEDIUM TERM PLAN 2018 – 2022 VISION 2030 33 x� Recent upsurges in disputes, especially in the public sector call for alternative dispute resolution mechanisms which are accessible, cost effective and expeditious and at the same time preserve harmonious industrial relations; x� Inadequate regulation of the emerging sectors such as exploration of the newly discovered oil and gas reserves resources may lead to occupational hazards; and x� The world of work is fast changing and the jobs we have today might not be there tomorrow hence the need to embrace changes in the world of work. 3.6.3 Programmes and Projects for 2018-2022 Flagship Projects Labour Market Information System: The Sector will develop and implement a policy to govern the collection, analysis, storage, retrieval and dissemination of labour market information. The programme will also involve development of modules for facilitating information exchange between the East Africa Community (EAC) Partner States, migrant workers and Kenyans in Diaspora. In addition, a Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) module for provision of information on vocational training will be developed. Strengthening linkages between the industry and training institutions The Government will strengthen the industrial attachment framework as one of the ways towards bridging skills gaps in the country. In addition, capacity building of the Sector Training Committees established under the National Industrial Training Authority (NITA) will be conducted to enhance their role in determining sector training needs as well as developing occupational competence standards, testing and certification systems, and internship and attachment, and accreditation. Training providers and industry will be engaged to offer training and work experience to youths through apprenticeship and use of Master Craftsmen under the Kenya Youth Employment Opportunities Project (KYEOP). At least 250,000 youths will be trained and imparted with employable skills such as life skills, core business skills and technical skills. These interventions will benefit youth in both formal and informal sectors of the economy. The National Manpower Development Committee (NMDC) will be revamped to further strengthen linkages between the industry and training and research institutions. National Internship Programme The National Employment Authority, in collaboration with the social partners and other stakeholders, will develop and implement the National Internship Policy and National Internship Programme aimed at facilitating placement of graduates in internships. The programme aims to provide graduates with opportunities to gain the necessary skills and to apply the principles and techniques learned in real-life problem-solving situations. Key aspects of the programme will involve development of guidelines for internship, facilitation of placement of trainees in internship, and establishment and maintenance of a database of trainees seeking internships and those on internship.

In the MTP III period, greater emphasis will now be put on enforcing laws and policies that enhance nationalist values and ethical behaviour. The Constitution of Kenya is the foundation for national values and ethics. Advancement of national values and ethics is key to the realisation of a cohesive, values driven and prosperous nation. A stable and cohesive nation will be the foundation for achieving the “Big Four” which will ultimately enhance the attainment of the Kenya Vision 2030. This will involve ordinary Kenyans, the public sector, Faith Based Organisations (FBOs), the private sector, Non Governmental Organisations (NGOs), Community Based Organisations (CBOs), and Development Partners (DPs). These have contributed significantly to the inculcation of national values, ethics and morality as well as promotion of cohesion and integration by facilitating dialogue, capacity development, public education and awareness, cohesion monitoring, advocacy, research and media engagement. Faith-based institutions have particularly demonstrated remarkable commitment to peace and social harmony in Kenya in the past, working in partnership with governments at national and county level. Under the MTP III, Kenya will strengthen national cohesiveness, unity and national values that will inform an ethical institutional framework. The national leadership will play a leading role in the process that will include widespread public mobilization and education, and enforcement of relevant policies and legislation. 3.7.1 Situation Analysis During the MTP II period the following were achieved: Development of an Institutional Framework: Sessional Paper No. 8 of 2013 was developed to operationalize and institutionalize values and principles of governance as enshrined in the Constitution. This led to the creation of the Directorate of National Cohesion and Values.

Dwindling amount of rain result in long spells of drought in many parts of the country which adversely affect crop farming and livestock production. Unusually heavy floods tend to follow drought episodes. These adversities are likely to worsen with climate change. However, they can be significantly mitigated if adequate and appropriate measures are taken in advance. Ending Drought Emergencies (EDE) has therefore been recognized as one of the key foundations for national development. To enhance food and nutrition security under the “Big Four” initiatives, the Sector will implement programmes and projects to address the twin challenges of climate change and drought. 3.8.1 Situation Analysis Severe drought is estimated to affect 3-4 million people in a given drought cycle in the country and where even in ‘good’ years, many families in Arid and Semi-Arid Lands (ASALs) live with hunger or the fear of potential hunger. The impact of drought in 2016/2017 was not as severe as was experienced in 2010/11. This was attributed to a number of interventions that included improved early warning and contingency planning systems, and early response by players, with real time release of funds by the National and County Governments to support the interventions identified in the drought response plans. Key achievements during the second MTP period included: x� Development of Common Programme Framework (CPF) for EDE to guide all investment in drought risk management; x� Development of 1,000 Ha of irrigation area under the Galana-Kulalu Food Security Project; THIRD MEDIUM TERM PLAN 2018 – 2022VISION 203038 x� Production and distribution of 5,781 MT of assorted drought tolerant crop seeds, valued at Ksh.1.4 billion in various sub counties; x� Reclamation of 4,800 Ha of degraded and wasted lands for food crop, fodder production and ecosystem improvement; x� Rolling out Livestock Insurance Programme for ASAL areas covering 14,000 households in Turkana, Wajir, Isiolo, Marsabit, Mandera and Tana River Counties; x� Establishment of the National Drought Emergency Fund (NDEF) under the NDMA Act 2016; x� Support to 98,432 households in four ASAL counties under Hunger Safety Net Programme (HSNP) in 2016/2017 compared to 68,621 households in 2013/2014; x� Construction of Chemususu Dam in Baringo County with a capacity of 13.2 million cubic meters; x� Construction of 11 small-size dams in 10 ASAL counties and more than 130 water pans (total volume of 18,061,000m3) and provision of greenhouses in ASAL counties; x� Designed and operationalized scalability mechanism for the HSNP, that benefited more than 260,000 households affected by drought in 2016/17; and x� Establishment of a Rapid Response Fund (RRF) to support the reduction of violent conflicts in the ASAL counties through early detection and quick response. 3.8.2 Emerging Issues, Challenges and Lessons Learnt Emerging Issues x� Devolution has expanded the peri-urban and satellite towns in ASAL counties, increasing demand for social services such as water and sanitation; and x� Increased radicalization of the youth in most ASALs counties and terror attacks. Challenges x� Frequent droughts, declining water volumes for irrigation, floods, landslides and extreme weather-related incidents due to climate change; x� Lack of food and nutrition security; and x� Inadequate coordination between the national, county governments and other agencies dealing with EDE. Lessons Learnt x� Devolution has reduced vulnerability and improved timely responses to emergencies; x� Local Peace Committees (LPCs) are valuable interface between the Government, community leaders, CSOs, and FBOs in responding to conflict and insecurity situations; x� Integration of drought relief interventions within the overall drought risk management framework is key to promoting sustainability; and x� Citizen participation and engagement at all stages are crucial for success of drought related programmes. 3.8.3 Programmes and Projects for 2018-2022 Flagship projects x� National Integrated Drought Early Warning Systems; x� National Drought Emergency Fund; x� Hunger Safety Net Programme; and x� Integrated Knowledge Management System for EDE.

Institutional Reforms x� Strengthen county peace structures (County Peace Committees) and Conflict Early Warning Early Response Mechanisms in 23 ASAL Counties; and x� Establish and strengthen county mediation capacity teams in 23 ASAL Counties. 3.9 Security, Peace Building and Conflict Resolution “A Nation of Peace and Stability: A Society free from Danger and Fear” National security and protection of individuals and property, peace building and conflict resolution are cross-cutting themes of Vision 2030, and will continue to be of paramount importance to the Government of Kenya. The Sector is a key incentive for attracting investment as it provides an enabling environment for individuals and business to thrive. It is crucial for sustainable development and achievement of the Kenya Vision 2030 goals. It will support the “Big Four” initiatives by facilitating a secure 24 hr economy, issuance of visas, passports and work permits. The sector aims at guaranteeing every person in Kenya freedom from danger (protection from physical or direct violence), and freedom from fear (a sense of safety and overall well being). 3.9.1 Situation Analysis During the MTP II period, the sector realized the following achievements: x� Enhanced security through installation of National Security Communication Network and the Surveillance System in Nairobi, Mombasa and their environs; installation of 1,850 CCTV cameras in Nairobi and its environs; and installation of 530 street lights within Nairobi Metropolitan Region and installation of street lights in all 47 county headquarters and satellite towns. x� Establishment of a call centre for National Police Service (NPS); recruitment of 10,000 police officers annually which improved the police population ratio from 1:505 to 1:407, which is better than the UN recommended ratio of 1:450; improved mobility through acquisition of 3,200 assorted vehicles for the NPS and National Government Administration; acquisition of 5,000 motorcycles for chiefs; and completion of the construction of the National Forensic Laboratory. x� Hosted the International Conferences on Great Lakes Region (ICGLR) Youth Summit on Youth unemployment in Nairobi. x� Improved police and prison officers’ welfare through acquisition of 3,071 housing units for National Police Service and 590 for the Kenya Prisons Service and provision of comprehensive insurance cover and medical insurance. x� Improved the management of offenders through construction of 18 new prisons across the country to decongest the existing facilities and established a girls’ borstal institution at Kamae, Kiambu County and the Integrated National Offender Records Management System for the non-custodial offenders. x� Enhanced registration and immigration services through construction of immigration and registration offices in Kisii, Nyeri, Lwakhakha, Bungoma, Masaba North and Kilifi; and connected Integrated Population Registration System (IPRS) to 171 agencies including Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA), Higher Education Loans Board (HELB), National Health Insurance Fund (NHIF), major banks and other financial Institutions, all telephony and mobile money transfer companies and all Credit Reference Bureaus. x� Improved disaster preparedness and mitigation through acquisition and deployment of 51 fire engines to selected County Governments; trained staff in 28 counties on safety of buildings; and acquired and deployed two (2) multipurpose ambulances with fire section and four (4) land rovers equipped with modern Fire-Fighting Equipment to counties. x� Enhanced national and regional peace through cooperation with East Africa Standby Force (EASF); establishment of a Technical Cooperation Fund to advance Kenya’s influence in the region; and undertook Geographical Information System (GIS) mapping of cross-border conflicts in Karamoja and Somali clusters. x� Enhanced legal and policy frameworks that include enactment and operationalization of the National Government Coordination THIRD MEDIUM TERM PLAN 2018 – 2022VISION 203040 Act, 2013; and review of Sessional Paper No. 8 of 2013 on National Values and Principles of Governance and Sessional Paper No. 9 of 2013 on National Cohesion and Integration. x� Improved management of wildlife through: reduction of elephants and rhino poaching by 67.6%; improved transport and communication infrastructure in parks and conservation areas; acquisition of over 71 surveillance vehicles and 36 firefighting all-terrain vehicles; recruitment of 1,158 rangers and training of 177 staff on firefighting skills; construction of 112 housing units for rangers; undertook 3,720 intelligence operations of local/national, cross-border and regional nature; construction of one (1) Eco-lodge in Lake Nakuru National Park; increased response to human wildlife conflict from previous 70 per cent to 90 per cent; and undertook a wildlife census in Tsavo, Laikipia and Mara ecosystem. x� Supported expeditious resolution of 688,052 criminal cases against a total of 901,311 cases that were filed translating to a Case Clearance Rate of 65 per cent by the Judiciary. x� Planted 265,234 tree seedlings under the Environmental Soldier programme to increase forests cover; erected a fence to protect the Mt.

THIRD MEDIUM TERM PLAN 2018 – 2022 VISION 2030 43 THE ECONOMIC PILLAR “Moving the Economy up the Value Chain” 4.0 Overview Kenya Vision 2030 identified six priority sectors with high potential of spurring the country’s economic growth and development. The sectors are: Agriculture and Livestock; Manufacturing; Tourism; Trade; Business Processing Outsourcing (BPO)/Information Technology Enabled Services (ITES) and Financial Services. Two other sectors, namely Oil, Gas and Mineral Resources; and Blue Economy have been introduced as the seventh and eighth sectors respectively. In addition, two of the “Big Four” initiatives are expected to contribute to the achievement of the 7 per cent growth during the Plan period. These are: guaranteeing food and nutrition security for all, and raising the Manufacturing Sector’s share of GDP to 15 per cent by 2022. These sectors will drive the achievement of the 10 per cent annual economic growth envisaged in the Vision 2030. 4.1 Agriculture and Livestock “Innovative, Commercially - 0riented and Modern Agriculture and Livestock Sector” Transformation of Kenya’s agricultural sector to boost food and nutritional security through increased output and agricultural processing is one of the “Big Four” initiatives under this Medium Term Plan. Growth of the Sector will also enhance purchasing power of Kenyans especially that of rural households and contribute to the goal of attainment of food and nutrition security. The Agriculture and Livestock Sector contributes on average 27 per cent to GDP, accounting for the largest share in GDP. The Sector provides critical supportive linkages to other sectors. It contributes approximately 75 per cent of industrial raw materials, 65 per cent of export earnings and 60 per cent of the total employment. Given its importance, the Sector is expected to play a significant role of ensuring food and nutrition security as well as driving the Manufacturing Sector through the provision of raw materials. 4.1.1 Situation Analysis During MTP II, the Sector recorded an average growth rate of 4.2 per cent. However, annual growth rates varied primarily due to variable weather. Growth in agriculture Gross Value Added improved from 5.4 per cent in 2013 to 5.5 per cent in 2015 before declining to 4.0 per cent in 2016, and further declined to 1.6 per cent in 2017 due to insufficient rains that affected production of key crops and animal rearing. For this reason, the Government will continue to prioritize irrigation and construction of dams as was the case under MTP II. Maize production, a key aspect of food security increased from 40.7 million bags in 2013 to 42.5 million bags in 2015 but declined to 35.4 million bags in 2017. Production of rice decreased from 125,256 tonnes in 2013 to 81,200 in 2017. This was due to the prolonged dry spell in 2017 which reduced water availability in irrigation schemes. Wheat production increased from 194,500 tonnes in 2013 to 214,700 tonnes in 2016 and declined to 165,200 tonnes in 2017. Attainment of food and nutrition security demands increased production, safe storage, and availability of these products at affordable prices by the public. Among exports, tea remained a major foreign exchange earner at Ksh.124.5 billion in 2016, from Ksh. 104.6 billion in 2013, representing 19 per cent increase. Tea production increased by 9.4 per cent from 432,400 tonnes in 2013 to 473,000 tonnes in 2016 before slightly declining to 439,800 tonnes in 2017. Coffee production increased by 15.8 per cent from 39,800 tonnes in 2013 to 46,100 tonnes in 2016, earning the country Ksh. 21.3 billion, up from Ksh. 16.3 billion in 2013. In 2017, coffee production declined to 40,800 tonnes. The horticulture sub-sector comprising of cut-flowers, vegetables, fruits, nuts, herbs and spices remained pivotal to Kenya’s export drive. The volume of exported horticultural products increased by 42.2 per cent from 213,900 tonnes in 2013 to 304,100 tonnes in 2017. The value of horticultural exports increased by 37.8 per cent to Ksh.115.3 billion in 2017 compared to Ksh. 83.7 billion in 2013. Milk production increased from 5.23 billion litres in 2013 to 6.48 billion litres in 2016 and declined to 5.35 billion litres in 2017. The annual intake by processors rose from 523 million litres in 2013 to over 648.2 million in 2016 but dropped to 535.7 million litres in 2017 representing a 17.4 per cent decline. The increase is attributed to increased farmer prices from an average of Ksh. 26 per litre in 2013 to Ksh. 35 per litre in 2015, enhanced milk promotion and sectoral reforms. Total beef production increased from 296,765 Metric tonnes (MT) in 2013 to 520,000 MT in 2016 while consumption increased from 414,093 MT in 2013 to 452,000 MT in 2016. Overall, the food supply situation as monitored through the Food Balance Sheet, reflected in the energy supply, improved from 2,202 kilo calories in 2014 to 2,288 kilo calories in 2015 before declining to 2,123 kilo calories in 2017. The food Self Sufficiency Ratio (SSR) improved from 74.4 per cent in 2014 to 75.2 per cent in 2015 and declined to 60 per cent in 2017. 4 THIRD MEDIUM TERM PLAN 2018 – 2022VISION 203044 The Sector implemented the following programmes and projects over the last plan period: Fertilizer Cost Reduction Strategy: Under this programme, the Sector concentrated on cost reduction activities through bulk purchase of fertilizers and blending. A total of 615,121MT of various fertilizers were purchased as a price stabilization mechanism, bringing down the price of Di-Ammonium Phosphate (DAP) from Ksh.4,500 in 2013 to Ksh.3,100 in 2017 and of Calcium Ammonium Nitrate (CAN) from Ksh.2,800 in 2013 to Ksh.2,600 in 2017. During the period, the Government also identified Toyota Tsusho Corporation as a strategic partner for fertiliser blending through Public Private Partnership (PPP). Establishment of Four Livestock Disease Free Zones (DFZ): The Sector initiated establishment of the coastal area DFZ covering Bachuma, Kurawa and Miritini. Survey and design for Bachuma Livestock Export Zone (LEZ) was completed. Phase I of the project was initiated and constructed to 60 per cent while tenders for design of Kurawa and Miritini export quarantine stations were awarded. Implementation of the Consolidated Agricultural Reform Legislations: Key achievements include: the enactment of the Agriculture and Food Authority Act 2013 (revised 2015), Crops Act (2013), and Kenya Agricultural and Livestock Research Act (2013); development of the Veterinary Medicines Bill and Veterinary Medicines Regulations, operationalization of the Agriculture Food Authority (AFA), the Kenya Agricultural and Livestock Research Organization (KALRO) and the Veterinary Medicines and Drug Council; modernization of Kenya Meat Commission (KMC); development of disease and pest control contingency plans; and development of strategies for management of diseases of economic importance such as Foot and Mouth Disease, Peste des Petits Ruminants (PPR), Rift Valley Fever and Contagious Bovine Pleuropneumonia (CBPP). To support policy reforms, the Sector adopted an evidence-scenario based policy analysis through the use of the T21 model tools. Livestock Marketing Value Addition and Processing: The Sector purchased 49 milk coolers with an annual capacity of 50 million litres to improve milk marketing and reduce post-harvest losses. It also constructed and handed-over four (4) slaughter houses in Isiolo, Garissa, Wajir and West Pokot and installed poultry processing equipment in Bungoma and Kiambu counties. A total of six (6) tanneries and 17 mini-slaughterhouses were constructed and handed over to counties. In addition, six (6) milk processing facilities and five (5) animal feed manufacturing facilities were inspected and licensed to ensure compliance with required standards. Semen Production: The production of semen by Kenya Animal Genetics Resource Centre (KAGRC) increased from 500,000 doses in 2013 to 1,200,000 doses in 2017. This was as a result of increased number of breeding bulls, investment in semen production infrastructure and improved efficiency in semen processing. The Sector initiated the establishment of a second bull station at Agricultural Development Corporation (ADC) Sabwani in Trans-Nzoia County with an annual capacity to produce 1.2 million doses of semen and is 95 per cent complete. Installation of Liquid Nitrogen Plants: Six (6) liquid nitrogen plants were established to increase production, preservation and conservation of animal genetic materials. The plants were established in Eldoret, Bomet, Meru, Nyahururu, Kirinyaga and KAGRC headquarters in Kabete, Nairobi. Plants in Bomet, Kirinyaga and Nairobi are complete while those in Meru, Eldoret, and Nyahururu are 85 per cent complete.

The FSS will finance the ‘Big Four” development initiatives with the goal of raising the share of manufacturing sector to 15 per cent of Gross Domestic Product (GDP); ensuring that all citizens enjoy food and nutrition security by 2022; work towards achieving universal health coverage as well as delivering 500,000 affordable housing units. The goal of the Sector will be achieved by deepening financial markets focusing on enhancing effective access to financial services and improving efficiency while maintaining financial stability. 4.6.1 Situation Analysis The Sector is made up of five sub-sectors namely banking, capital markets, insurance, retirement benefits/pensions, and savings and credit co-operatives (Saccos). During MTP II, the Sector made significant achievements. Banking remained the largest sub-sector by assets and the most systemically significant. The usage of the Banking System by adults grew from 29 per cent in 2013 to 38 per cent in 2016. Capital markets recorded strong asset growth with the Nairobi Securities Exchange (NSE) All Share index and Market Capitalization recording growth rates of 11.91 per cent and 15.65 per cent respectively in 2017. However, the level of new investment, raised through public offerings remained limited with only 67 companies listed on the NSE by 2017. Insurance continued to be a relatively niche sub-sector with the level of usage remaining at 6 per cent of the population and contributing 1.5 per cent to GDP in 2016. By 2016, 19 per cent of the population had some form of Health insurance cover with the statutory National Hospital Insurance Fund (NHIF) at 21 per cent. In 2017, membership to NHIF grew to 6.8 million persons up from 6.1 million in 2016 accounting for 11.1 per cent increase. There were approximately 1,200 registered retirement benefits/pensions schemes with over 2.2 million members in 2017. Usage of formal pensions increased from a relatively low base to 12 per cent of adults. The Saccos sub-sector makes an important contribution to financial access reaching 13 per cent of the population. It is dominated by 176 deposit taking Saccos, and 3,600 non-deposit taking Saccos. In 2016, Saccos accounted for 4.6 per cent of the assets in the financial system. Access to formal financial services rose from 66.9 per cent of the adult population in 2013 to 75.3 per cent in 2016. The interest rate spread, used as a proxy for efficiency, declined from 11.4 per cent to 8.0 per cent mainly as a result of introduction of legislation to limit bank interest rates in 2016. Financial Sector stability was maintained despite instances of commercial bank failures. The gross national savings rate increased steadily over the last Plan Period rising from 11.2 per cent at the end of 2013 to an estimated 18.3 per cent of GDP by mid-2017 (Table 4.2). On the other hand, the private and other government investment ratios more than doubled growing from 11 per cent to 24.4 per cent, over the same period. This was accompanied by a significant expansion in the Financial Sector with the share of GDP rising from 6.6 per cent to 7.1 per cent in 2013 and 2017 respectively.

The Sector has the potential to boost the country’s economic growth and development through increased export earnings, development of infrastructure, employment creation and improvement of social welfare. This is in tandem with the aspirations of the Government in the implementation of the “Big Four” development initiatives namely food and nutrition security, affordable housing, manufacturing and universal health coverage. 4.7.1 Situation Analysis During MTP II, the Sector registered several achievements as indicated below: Oil and Gas Sub-Sector The achievements included: construction of a 122Km long, 12-inch diameter parallel petroleum pipeline from Sinendet to Kisumu; installation of mainline pumps in seven inter-stations along the Mombasa-Nairobi pipeline (Line I); modification of tanks and related facilities for receipt of crude oil for the interim scope for the Early Oil Pilot Scheme (EOPS); drilling of 17 oil exploratory and 22 appraisal wells; completion of the roadmap and report towards a Petroleum Master Plan for Kenya; gazettement of additional 17 new oil exploration blocks; development of the Strategic Environment and Social Assessment (SESA), and Gender Assessment Guidelines. In addition, 51 wells were drilled (well density of 10 wells per year). Mineral Subsector The achievements included: extraction of heavy sand in Kwale County; enactment of the Mining Act, 2016; construction of the Gemstone Value Addition Centre in Taita/Taveta County and upgrading of the Online Transaction Mining Cadaster Portal. In addition, the Cabinet THIRD MEDIUM TERM PLAN 2018 – 2022 VISION 2030 65 approved the establishment of the National Mining Corporation in April 2016 as contained in the Mining Act, 2016. The Corporation will act as the investment arm of the National Government in mining. The sub-sector established the web-based system launched in February 2015 that allows online application, renewal and payment for mining rights at the convenience of the mining stakeholders. Achievements under Policy, Legal and Institutional reforms include: x� Formulation of the National Energy and Petroleum Policy 2015; x� Petroleum Bill 2015 prepared, passed by the National Assembly and submitted to the Senate; x� Completion of a model Production Sharing Contract (PSC) in 2015 that was also approved by the Cabinet; x� Preparation of the Petroleum Exploration, Development and Production (Local Content) Regulations, 2014; x� Development of the Mining and Mineral Policy which culminated into the Sessional Paper No. 7 of 2016 on Mining and Minerals Policy; x� Mining Act 2016 came into effect in May 2016 replacing the colonial Mining Act of 1940 (Cap 306); x� Drafting of 18 out of 21 Mining Regulations and Guidelines to operationalize Mining Act 2016. Out of the 18 regulations developed, 14 have been validated by stakeholders and 13 of them published; and x� Implementation of an Online Transaction Mining Cadaster Portal (OTMCP) to reduce bureaucracies in issuance and application of licenses. The system is under reconfiguration to conform to the Mining Act, 2016. 4.7.2 Emerging Issues, Challenges and Lessons learnt Emerging Issues x� Slowdown in investment in the Sector due to decline of international crude oil and other minerals prices; x� Insecurity which affects exploitation of resources in areas prone to attacks; x� Regional re-alignment which led to crude oil pipeline route adjustment and oil and gas importation and transportation through the Central Corridor; and x� Mainstreaming of Climate Change Act 2016 in the Sector policies, programmes and projects. Challenges x� Land access and compensation causing project delays and increased cost; x� Inadequate financial resources; x� High incidences of insecurity in project areas; x� Inadequate appropriate equipment and technical skills in the sector; x� Maritime boundaries disputes hindering extractive activities; x� High community expectations in exploration and development which slows down project implementation; and x� Inadequate data on oil and gas blocks, and other minerals to inform investment decisions. Lessons learnt x� Strong collaboration between national and county governments including engagement of other stakeholders is key in the implementation of programmes and projects; x� Involvement of local professionals in all phases of project implementation ensures capacity building and knowledge transfer; x� Managing community expectations needs a structured framework; and x� Value addition of minerals improves the country’s competitiveness. 4.7.3 Programmes and Projects for 2018-2022 Flagship Projects Commercialization of the Oil and Gas Discoveries: The programme entails implementation of Early Oil Pilot Scheme (EOPS) Project; Final Field Development Plan for South Lokichar field Basin (blocks 10BB and 13T); Drilling of production and re-injection wells; Drilling of exploratory and appraisal wells; Gas exploration, production and utilization while ensuring environmental integrity; and Government Back-in participation in Oil producing Blocks. In addition, a Regional Hub for Upstream Petroleum Services will be developed and local content development enhanced by establishing (a) Geochemical and Petro-physical laboratory and National Seismic Processing Centre, and (b) an Upstream Drilling Service Unit; and De-risking Exploration Acreage through establishing Multi-Client Ventures in Data Acquisition, digitizing National Data Centre (NDC), and undertaking Licensing Rounds. Complete Early Oil Pilot Scheme (EOPS) Project: The Early Oil Pilot Scheme (EOPS) is an initiative by the Government of Kenya (GoK) and the Kenya Joint Venture (Tullow Oil, Africa Oil Corporation and Maersk) to use the existing road infrastructure to transport crude oil from Lokichar to Mombasa for export. The key objectives for EOPS are to enable Full Field Development and establish Kenya as THIRD MEDIUM TERM PLAN 2018 – 2022VISION 203066 an oil exporter commencing with testing the international market for Turkana crude. Although the project is not generating profits, it is envisaged that the scheme would create an investment case that would capture the immediate non-monetary benefits of early oil for the key stakeholders involved. Capacity Development for Oil and Gas through the Kenya Petroleum Technical Assistance Project (KEPTAP): This will enhance capacity of institutions in Petroleum sector through supporting training, and development and implementation of the requisite policies and plans. These entail: Capacity Building and Field Development Planning; Implementation of Institutional Review Study; Procurement of an internationally recognized consultancy to review and ascertain the credibility of South Lokichar Field Development Plan (FDP), and development of local content policy and regulations to govern local content in the oil and gas sector Construction of Lokichar-Lamu Crude Oil Pipeline: The project involves development of the crude oil pipeline from Lokichar to Lamu for transportation of the oil for export and early monetization of the resource. The pipeline system will include a 840Km pipeline, pumping stations, heating system, marine terminal storage and export facility and all associated facilities. The pipeline will pass through Turkana, Samburu, Isiolo, Garissa, Tana River and Lamu counties. This will commence once the Environmental and Social Impact Assessment (ESIA) and Front End Engineering Design (FEED) are completed and Final Investment Decision (FID) taken. This will have added climate change benefits through the avoidance of greenhouse gases emissions. Expansion of National Pipeline Network: Bulk of petroleum products is still transported by road from the pipeline depots to various towns and markets. The national pipeline expansion programme aims at constructing spur lines (extending the pipeline to key towns). This will ensure that the cost, efficiency, environmental, climate change mitigation and safety benefits of pipeline transportation are spread nationally. A feasibility study will be undertaken to inform and prioritize the pipeline expansion investments and implementation of the programme. LPG Distribution and Storage Project in Mombasa and Nairobi: The project aims at enhancing LPG supply infrastructure through development of 20,000 MT bulk LPG import handling and storage facilities in Mombasa, and 2,200 MT bulk storage facilities in Nairobi. This will ensure availability and accessibility of LPG at competitive prices to support promotion of the use of LPG as a household fuel, enhance socio-economic development and climate change benefits. Enhancement of Petroleum Products Storage Capacity in Mombasa: The project will entail converting the idle crude oil storage tanks for white oil (Petrol/ Diesel) use, fully integrating the KPRL and expanding the oil and gas facilities. The integration will result in additional storage and efficiency in handling of petroleum imports, thereby reduce demurrage expenses, enhance security of supply of petroleum products, enhance environmental integrity and consequently positively impact the pump prices. Establishment of Centre of Excellence in Oil and Gas: Kenya Pipeline Company (KPC) in collaboration with Southern Alberta Institute of Technology (SAIT) of Canada, will fast track establishment of a Centre of Excellence at the Morendat Institute of Oil and Gas (MIOG). The Centre’s objective will be to bridge the skills gap and, build capacity in pipeline management, oil and gas operations and maintenance for the country and the region. Mwananchi LPG Project (National LPG Enhancement Project): The project will upscale LPG usage by increasing LPG per capita consumption from two (2) Kg per person per year to fifteen (15) kg. Five million 6 kg LPG cylinders will be bought and distributed across the country with the objective of enhancing LPG penetration from 10 per cent to 70 per cent and thereby provide an affordable and cleaner alternative to forest-based fuels for the urban poor and the rural population. In addition, 40 mini LPG storage and filling plants (LPG skids) will be installed to be operated by women and youth. Development of a Regional Hub for Upstream Petroleum Services: This programme will enhance local content development. This will entail setting up a Geochemical and Petro-physical laboratory and a National oil and gas Seismic Processing Centre in Nairobi, and establishing an Upstream Drilling Service Unit. Quality Assurance of Petroleum Products: This project aims at intensifying monitoring of petroleum products quality standards to ensure compliance; prevent diversion of products meant for export into the local market; eradicate illegal LPG refilling, and minimize environmental degradation. Geological Surveys: These will constitute carrying out aerial geophysical surveys to establish potential areas of mineralization by undertaking Nationwide Airborne Geophysical Survey, Nationwide Geological Survey Ground Follow-up, Marine Geophysical survey and Geological Mapping, Mineral Exploration and Evaluation. Internationally Accredited Mineral Certification Laboratory (IAMCL): The project will be located in Madini House, Nairobi and will entail procurement of specialized laboratory equipment and ensure geo-technical laboratory is incorporated in the IAMCL. In addition, the accreditation process will be pursued. THIRD MEDIUM TERM PLAN 2018 – 2022 VISION 2030 67 Establishment of Geological Data Bank: The project will entail equipping and commissioning a repository centre to host geological data and information. Data and information on known mineral quantities will be availed to users at affordable prices. This will generate revenue to government.

THIRD MEDIUM TERM PLAN 2018 – 2022VISION 203068 4.8 Blue Economy “Sustainably manage and develop the Blue Economy resources for enhanced socio-economic benefits to Kenyans” The Blue Economy refers to sustainable use of aquatic and marine spaces including oceans, seas, coasts, lakes, rivers, and underground water. It encompasses a range of productive sectors, including fisheries, aquaculture, tourism, transport, shipbuilding, energy, bio prospecting and underwater mining and related activities. Kenya is endowed with rich coastal and maritime resources, which have huge potential for development of the Blue Economy, that have not been developed to full capacity. The development and exploitation of the Blue Economy has the potential to contribute towards the attainment of the “Big Four” initiatives due to its enormous forward and backward linkages with other productive sectors in wealth and employment creation especially in food security, the service sector and manufacturing. 4.8.1 Situation Analysis During the MTP II period, total fish production declined by 21.3 per cent from 163,389 Metric Tonnes (MT) in 2013 to 128,645 MT in 2016. The marine fish landed declined by 0.45 per cent from 9,136 MT in 2013 to 9,095 MT in 2016. Fish production in the freshwater dropped by 22.5 percent from 154,253 MT in 2013 to 119,550 MT in 2016. The decrease is attributed to shrinking lakes and dams, excessive and unregulated fishing, climate change, deteriorating environment, inadequate fisheries infrastructure, use of inappropriate fishing methods and the presence of the water hyacinth particularly in Lake Victoria. Total cargo handled at the port of Mombasa increased from 22.3 million tonnes in 2013 to 30.3 million tonnes in 2017. During the same period, the total container traffic handled rose from 894,000 Twenty-foot Equivalent Units (TEUs) to 1,200,000 tonnes. This was mainly due to larger capacity of the vessels docking at the port in the review period. Total exports handled grew from 3 million tonnes to 3.8 million tonnes. Marine insurance business increased by 13.3 per cent from the premiums reported in March 2017 against an increase of the total monthly Gross Direct Premiums Income (GDPI) during the same period in 2016. This was an indication of the impact of localization of marine business in Kenya which also led to a reduction in capital flight in form of offshore insurance premiums. The sector’s key achievements included: development of the Kenya Coast Guard Service Bill 2016; localization of the Marine Cargo Insurance in accordance with Section 20 of the Insurance Act of 1984 that became operational in 1987; establishment of a Maritime Technology Cooperation Centre-Africa in Mombasa; and development of Fisheries Management Plans. The sector also developed the Tuna Strategy 2013-2018; enacted Fisheries Management and Development Act No. 35 of 2016; and procured an Offshore Patrol Vessel (PV Doria) for surveillance of deep sea fishing and two patrol boats, one each for Lake Victoria and Lake Turkana. In addition, an offshore research vessel (R.V Mtafiti) was acquired; four foreign deep sea fishing vessels were reflagged (with the Kenyan flag); a Monitoring, Control and Surveillance (MCS) centre was established in Mombasa and a Vessel Monitoring System (VMS) was installed. Other achievements realized during the MTP II period include: x� Restocking of 135 dams, 11 rivers and 3 lakes with a total of 4,881,663 assorted fish fingerlings to increase productivity; x� Mapping and delineation of 13 critical fish habitats, five (5) in Lake Naivasha, three (3) in Lake Baringo and five (5) in Lake Turkana to protect these breeding areas and thus increase in-situ stock recruitment; x� Adoption of the Fisheries and Aquaculture Policy Framework and Strategy for African Union (2014) which provide a comprehensive framework for governance and exploration of Africa’s fisheries and aquaculture resources in Africa; x� Developed a Residue Monitoring Plan (RMP) for farmed fish that was approved by the European Union (EU) there by opening up export markets for farmed fish and fishery products in the EU; x� Established three Fish Quality Control Laboratories in Nairobi, Mombasa and Kisumu; and four cold storage and mini fish processing facilities in Meru, Kakamega, Nyeri and Migori; x� Developed seaweed farming in Kibuyuni, Kwale County; x� Improved local strain of tilapia and transferred to 10 certified hatcheries for mass production of quality seed; and x� Established intensive Recirculation Aquaculture Systems (RAS) demonstration infrastructure in Sagana and developed an aquaculture curriculum for Advanced Technical and Vocational Education Training (ATVET). 4.8.2 Emerging Issues, Challenges and Lessons Learnt Emerging issues x� Terrorism, Piracy and Trafficking in illicit cargo in water bodies; x� Invasive species in water bodies like water hyacinth and harmful algae blooms associated with ballast water exchange that affect the marine ecosystem; and x� Fish cage farming. THIRD MEDIUM TERM PLAN 2018 – 2022 VISION 2030 69 Challenges x� Trafficking in illicit cargo in water bodies; x� Inadequate policy integration and uncoordinated development in the Blue Economy sector; x� Lack of supportive legislative framework and policies such as Cabotage regime and cargo reservation policy; x� Insufficient training facilities and equipment to offer training required for qualification and certification under the Standards of Training Certification and Watch-keeping (STCW ‘78) Convention; x� Weak Monitoring, Control and Surveillance (MCS); x� Inadequate sharing of Maritime information at the international and regional levels; x� Increased Illegal, Unregulated and Unreported (IUU) fishing activities; x� Inadequate appropriate technology to exploit Marine resources; and low adoption of modern fishing and aquaculture technologies; x� Pollution arising from developments around the basins such as agricultural, industrial and urban development that negatively affect marine ecological system; x� Insecurity at sea, piracy, and fishing gear thefts; x� Inadequate regional institutional framework for collaboration in some of the trans-boundary water bodies; x� Lack of agro-ecological specific fish strains for aquaculture; x� Low investment in fisheries and aquaculture and low value addition; x� Inadequate fisheries infrastructure such as cold storage facilities, landing sites, market-access roads and energy; x� Weak stakeholders associations and commercial viable enterprises along the fish value chain; x� High fish post-harvest losses; x� Climate change; and x� Inadequate data on Blue Economy. Lessons learnt x� Monitoring, Control and Surveillance is key to curbing illegal activities in marine space; x� Appropriate and adequate capacity building is critical in ensuring that priority interventions deliver the expected development results; and x� Close collaboration and co-operation among MDAs, County Governments and other stakeholders is crucial in development and implementation of sector policies, strategies, programmes and projects. 4.8.3 Programmes and Projects for 2018-2022 Flagship Programmes and Projects Development of Blue Economy Programme: This programme will involve development of a Blue Economy Master Plan; Capacity building for Blue Economy; promotion of Kenya as a centre for Agro-based Blue Economy; development of Blue Book; development and management of Blue Economy database; sensitization of Young population on the Blue Economy; strengthening of Beach Management Units (BMUs); restructuring and reviving of Kenya National Shipping Line (KNSL) to a pre-eminent logistics and transportation hub on the eastern seaboard of the African continent.

THIRD MEDIUM TERM PLAN 2018 – 2022VISION 203072 THE SOCIAL PILLAR “Investing in the people of Kenya” 5.0 Overview Kenya’s journey towards prosperity involves investing in the people and building a just and cohesive society that enjoys equitable socio economic development in a clean and secure environment. This quest is the basis for transformation of our society in six key social sectors namely: Health; Population, Housing and Urbanization; Education and Training; Environment,Water and Sanitation; Gender, Youth and Vulnerable Groups; and Sports, Culture and the Arts. The sector will play a key role in providing an enabling environment in the implementation of the “Big Four” initiatives that will catalyze the transformation of the country. 5.1 Health “Equitable, Affordable and Quality Health Care of the Highest Standards” The Health Sector is key to ensuring that the populace is healthy and productive. The Sector will pay special attention to the “Big Four” initiatives with particular focus on the achievement of Universal Health Coverage by implementing programmes that increase health insurance coverage, increase access to quality healthcare services and offer financial protection to people when accessing healthcare. This will continue the transformative agenda initiated during the MTP I and deepened during MTP II by consolidating the gains made in the last five years and expanding them in line with aspirations of the Kenya Vision 2030 and the Constitution that guarantee the highest attainable standard of health to all citizens. The Kenya Health Policy 2014-2030 supports implementation of various MTP III priorities in the Health Sector to address prevention, diagnosis and treatment leading to universal health care. The Government will also facilitate implementation of programmes and projects that will lead to the attainment of Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) No. 3 (Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages) and aspiration of Africa’s Agenda 2063. 5.1.1 Situation Analysis Mortality rate: The achievements recorded include reduction of Under Five Mortality Rate from 74 per 1,000 live births in 2008 to 52 per 1,000 live births in 2014 and Infant Mortality Rate from 52 per 1,000 live births to 39 per 1,000 live births in the same period (Kenya Demographic Health Survey, 2014). Further, Neonatal Mortality Rate declined from 31 per 1,000 live births in 2008 to 22 per 1,000 live births while Maternal Mortality Rate dropped substantially from 488 per 100,000 live births in the 2008 to 362 per 100,000 live births in the 2014. HIV and AIDS Control: The Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) prevalence in 2015 was 5.9 per cent (Female 6.3 per cent and male 5.5 per cent). New HIV infections among adult (15+) population declined from 88,622 in 2013 to 56,100 in 2016 and that of children from 12,940 to 4,900 over similar period. Mother to child transmission declined from 14 per cent in 2013 to 6.3 per cent in 2016. Notably, 46 per cent of all new HIV infections are among young people aged 15-24. By end of 2016, Kenya achieved its target of putting 1 million people on Antiretroviral Therapy (ART). AIDS-related deaths reduced from 58,000 in 2013 to 32,500 in 2016. Tuberculosis (TB) Control: World Health organization (WHO) estimates that TB case detection rate in Kenya was 80 per cent (2014), treatment success rate was 90 per cent (2016) and cure rate was 90 per cent (2016). Uptake of antiretroviral therapy (ART) among TB/HIV co-infected patients increased from 80 per cent in 2013/14 to 83 per cent in 2015/16. Of the TB patients seen at the health facilities, 96 per cent were tested for HIV in 2014 compared to 97 per cent in 2015. The number of patients in Kenya with resistance to anti-TB drugs increased from 266 in 2013 to 368 in 2015. Malaria Control: The provision of Long Lasting Insecticide Treated Nets (LLINs) increased from 1.7 million in 2013/14 to 7.3 million in 2015/16 translating to 63 per cent of all households owning at least one LLIN. Malaria incidence reduced from 72 persons per a 1,000 population in 2015 to 61 persons per 1,000 population in 2016. The proportion of children under five years sleeping under mosquito net increased from 39 per cent in 2010 to 56 per cent in 2015, while the proportion of pregnant women sleeping under mosquito net increased from 36 per cent to 58 per cent within the same period (Kenya Malaria Indicator Survey (KMIS) 2010 & KMIS 2015). Community Health Services: In 2014, Community Health Strategy for 2014-2019 was launched to strengthen the delivery of integrated comprehensive and quality community health services. The sector made progress in Reproductive, Maternal, New Born, Child and 5 THIRD MEDIUM TERM PLAN 2018 – 2022 VISION 2030 73 Adolescent Health (RMNCAH). As a result, the proportion of Women of Reproductive Age (WRA) using contraceptives improved from 40.7 per cent in 2014/15 to 44.9 per cent in 2016/17. In addition, the fourth ante-natal clinic coverage registered improvement from 51.7 per cent in 2014/15 to 52.2 per cent in 2016/17. This was matched by a remarkable improvement in births by skilled attendants in health facilities from 69 per cent in 2013/14 to 77.4 per cent in 2016/17 largely attributed to free maternity services. Further, the Beyond Zero Campaign that advocates for zero preventable maternal deaths, zero child deaths and zero transmission of HIV from mother to child led to the placing of mobile clinics in all the 47 counties to increase coverage of Maternal, New born and Child Health (MNCH) services. Immunization: According to District Health Information System (DHIS2) data, both penta3 and measles immunization coverage declined from 89 per cent in 2013/14 to 83 per cent in 2015/16 while fully immunized coverage declined from 83 per cent in 2013/14 to 79 per cent in 2015/16. In 2015/16, 34 out of 47 counties had full immunization coverage. In addition, Inactivated Polio Vaccine (IPV) and rota virus vaccines were introduced into the routine immunization. A successful switch from trivalent Oral Polio Vaccine (tOPV) to bivalent Oral Polio Vaccine (bOPV) during National Immunization Days was also achieved. Nutrition: National stunting rates decreased from 35 per cent in 2008/9 to 26 per cent in 2014 (KDHS 2014). During the same period, wasting rates declined from 6.9 per cent to 4 per cent while exclusive breastfeeding increased from 31 per cent to 61 per cent. By 2015, Kenya was on-course for all five World Health Assembly targets. However, there are disparities in stunting rates ranging from 15 per cent to 45 per cent across counties, while wasting rates ranges from less than 1 per cent to greater than 20 per cent in many of the Arid and Semi-Arid Land (ASAL) counties. In addition, the 2015 Kenya STEPwise Survey Report showed that Vitamin A, key for child development and growth, had coverage of 41 per cent against the global target of 80 per cent. Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs): NCDs contribute to annual mortality rate of 182 per 100,000 population, with 12,651 healthy years lost annually per 100,000 population (WHO, 2013). The STEPwise Survey 2015 showed that 27 per cent of Kenyan adults are overweight/obese, 1 in 7 women aged 25-49 years having been screened at least once for cervical cancer, while 23.8 per cent of Kenyans are hypertensive. Infectious Disease Surveillance and Outbreak Response: The Government established the Public Health Emergency Operations Centre (PHEOC) to develop, strengthen and maintain the capacity to respond effectively to public health emergencies. During the period, various disease outbreaks such as Cholera, Chikungunya, Whooping cough, Anthrax and Dengue fever were experienced. Environmental Health and Climate Change: The Environmental Sanitation and Hygiene Policy (2016-2030) and its Strategic Plan (2016-2020) were developed in 2016 to provide guidelines on management of health risk factors associated with environment and climate change. The Community Lead Total Sanitation (CLTS) was implemented. Malaria early warning system was implemented under the project of climate change adaptation to protect the public. The National Health Care Waste Management Strategic Plan (2015 – 2020) was launched and implementation mechanisms put in place. Radiation Protection: The phase I of the Central Radioactive Waste Processing Facility (CRWPF) in Oloolua Forest, Ngong was completed to ensure the safety and security of radioactive sources and nuclear materials. Specialized Spinal Injury: The total number of patients receiving spinal rehabilitation services increased from 111 in 2014/15 to 122 in 2015/16. Mental Health Services: The average daily mental health inpatient was 730 patients between 2013/14 and 2015/16, translating to 126 per cent bed occupancy. The Mental Health Policy was also developed. Health Infrastructure: The number of health care facilities increased from about 9,000 in 2013 to 10,000 in 2016, increasing the national average facility density from 1.9 to 2.2 health facilities per 10,000 population. The Sector implemented the Managed Equipment Service (MES) programme under which 98 (2 in each of the 47 counties and 4 national hospitals) targeted hospitals were equipped. Health Products and Technologies (HPT): Kenya Medical Supplies Authority (KEMSA) order fill rate improved through the use of the Enterprise–wide Resource Planning (ERP) and Logistics Management Information System (LMIS) from 50 per cent in 2013/14 to 86 per cent in 2015/16. The order turnaround time reduced from 12 days in 2013/14, to 9 days in 2015/16. Further, the National Quality Control Laboratory (NQCL) received the ISO 17025 accreditation and the WHO prequalification for the testing of medicines, vaccines, medical devices and other health products technologies. Health Financing: The Government (national and county) health expenditure increased from KSh.94 billion in 2012/13 to Ksh.144 billion in 2015/16 representing an increase of 55 per cent. The total budget allocated by county governments to health increased from 13 per cent in 2013/14 to above 25 per cent in 2015/16. On the other hand, the national health budget increased by 67 per cent from Ksh.36 billion to Ksh.60 billion between 2013/14 and 2016/17. Household Out of Pocket (OOPs) expenditure continues to be a major source of financing for health services in Kenya accounting for 26 per cent of Total Health Expenditure (THE) by 2015/16. Government contribution to all HIV expenditure amounted to 27 per cent by the end of 2016. THIRD MEDIUM TERM PLAN 2018 – 2022VISION 203074 Health Insurance Coverage: National Hospital Insurance Fund (NHIF) membership grew to 6.8 million by 2016/17 which translates to 17 million Kenyans (principal contributors and their dependents), providing an overall coverage of 36 per cent. NHIF also introduced a cover for chronic conditions and vulnerable populations. Human Resources for Health (HRH): A total of 46,000 health workers were devolved to the counties after digitization of their records. A number of guidelines were developed, including HRH norms and standards. By 2016, the health workers’ density was 6 per 10,000 population against a target of 7 per 10,000 population following recruitment by counties. Graduates from Kenya Medical Training College (KMTC) increased from 6,394 in 2013 to 8,000 in 2016. Research and Innovation: Kenya Medical Research Institute (KEMRI) research complex in Mkuyuni in Kilifi County was launched to strengthen clinical trials and research. The number of completed research projects increased from six (6) in the 2013/14 to 10 in the 2015/16. Further, KEMRI, through its model production facility for the Production of Biomedical Products (the only one in East Africa) established the Quality Management Systems (QMSs) that are necessary for commercialization of products. Scale up of Community Health High Impact Interventions: Free Maternity Services programme was rolled out in all public health facilities in 2013. This resulted in an increase in the number of skilled deliveries from 600,323 to 1.2 million in 2017. These contributed to a reduction in the Maternal Mortality Rate from 488 to 362 deaths per 100,000 live births, thus averting 2,000 maternal deaths annually. The Government launched a Strategic Plan geared towards the prevention and control of all neglected tropical diseases in Kenya. A total of 13 million school going children were also de-wormed across the country. Other achievements include: x� Establishment of 11 mobile clinics in slum areas; x� Health insurance subsidy programme for the elderly and Persons With Disability covering a total of 140,186 of the 160,421 households in all counties targeted; x� Establishment of National e-Health Policy; and x�Modernization of Kenyatta National Hospital and Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital. 5.1.2 Emerging Issues, Challenges and Lessons Learnt Emerging Issues x� Emergence of drug resistant strains of TB and other diseases such as Ebola, Bird flu, Dengue fever, Chikungunya; x� Increased industrial unrest emanating from devolution of human resource function; and x� Lack of decentralized trade unions for health workers.

The population of those less than 15 years is estimated at 20.3 million in 2018 and is expected to increase to 21.5 million in 2022 while youthful population is expected to increase to 19.3 million in 2022 from 17.5 million in 2018. The population of elderly (65+ years) is estimated at 1.4 million in 2018 and projected to increase to 1.6 million by 2022. The high population growth exerts pressure on agricultural land and available resources leading to rural-urban migration. On the other hand, rapid urbanization leads to various challenges including increased demand for housing and associated infrastructure. Uncontrolled urban settlements in all urban areas is increasing and needs to be addressed since the Constitution guarantees all Kenyans decent housing. To cater for the increased population, it is estimated that over 240,000 additional housing units are required annually to satisfy the unmet need for decent and affordable housing. However, persistent low output of houses results in an annual shortfall of new units for urban residents of about 132,000 houses. The Government has identified housing as one of the “Big Four” initiatives and targets to facilitate construction of at least 500,000 affordable and decent houses in this Plan period. This will be achieved through strategic partnerships between the Government, private sector, cooperatives, the financial sector, development partners and foreign investors. THIRD MEDIUM TERM PLAN 2018 – 2022 VISION 2030 77 The delivery of 500,000 housing units is expected to provide decent homes for Kenyans, create an additional 350,000 jobs, provide market for manufacturers and building materials suppliers, and raise real estate and construction sector contribution to GDP from 5 per cent in 2016 to 14 per cent by 2022. 5.2.1 Situation Analysis Kenya’s population was estimated to be growing at an annual average rate of 2.7 per cent in 2017 from 2.9 per cent in 2013. The population was estimated at 41.8 million in 2013 and increased to 45.9 million in 2017. The proportion of urban population to the total population stood at 12 million representing approximately 31.8 per cent in 2017. Rapid urbanization leads to various challenges including increased demand for housing and associated infrastructure. Contraceptive and fertility rate stood at 58 per cent and 3.9 in 2014, respectively while unmet need for family planning was 18 per cent in 2014. Life expectancy stood at 58 years for male and 61 years for female in 2017. According to the Kenya Integrated Household Budget Survey (KIHBS, 2018), the age dependency ratio declined to 81.6 per cent in 2015/16 from 84 per cent recorded in the 2005/06. At the national level, 8.4 per cent of children were orphans while 2.8 per cent (1,285,200) of the population had some form of disability. During MTP II, the Sector achieved the following: Population The Sector implemented: the Population Policy for National Development that led to a reduction in annual population growth rate from 2.9 per cent in 2013 to an estimated 2.7 per cent in 2017; published and disseminated 30 population policy briefs; published and disseminated Male Involvement in Family Planning and Reproductive Health Survey report, 2014; developed three (3) multi-media presentations, nine (9) fact sheets on HIV and AIDS, one (1) data sheet on population and three (3) messages for radio and TV; published and disseminated National Adolescents and Youth Survey report, 2015; published and disseminated Kenya Health Facility Assessment (Family Planning and Maternal Health) report, 2015; and developed and launched the Kenya Demographic Dividend Roadmap.

Since the inauguration of the Constitution in 2010, Kenya has made enormous strides in advancing devolution, promoting public participation in policy-making, and in strengthening the three arms of government: the Executive, Judiciary and Legislature. Under the Third MTP measures will be undertaken to strengthen governance at all levels of government to facilitate the achievement of the Government’s “Big Four” initiatives. Achievement of the “Big Four” initiatives calls for an enabling legal, policy and regulatory framework that ensures prudent management of available public resources. Such reforms include: ensuring that elections are free, fair and violence free; strengthening governance and the fight against corruption; ensuring level playing field for businesses and entrepreneurs; deepening public financial management reforms; fostering financial sector development and reforms; modernizing the criminal justice system, and improving Kenya’s ranking in governance at political and financial levels.

A total of 3 Legal Resource Centres were established in Nairobi, Eldoret and Kisumu while 1,000 Information Education & Communication (IEC) materials on child law, mediation and criminal law (Right to fair hearing) were developed and disseminated. The National Legal Aid and Awareness Policy, 2015 was approved by the Cabinet and the Legal Aid Bill enacted into law, transiting the Programme into the National Legal Aid Service, a Semi-Autonomous Agency and the National Legal Aid Service Board was operationalized. Baseline Surveys on Access to Justice by People living with Disabilities were undertaken. Other programmes and projects Implementation of the Bill of Rights The National Policy and Action Plan on Human Rights was adopted by Parliament in 2014 and disseminated. Political and Economic Governance programme Electoral and Political Processes: Electoral laws and regulations were reviewed and amended. A total of 40,766 polling centres were mapped and collection of 4,033 Global Positioning System (GPS) coordinates for polling/registration centres completed, while 68 per cent of eligible voters were registered. THIRD MEDIUM TERM PLAN 2018 – 2022 VISION 2030 103 Economic Governance: The Nairobi Centre for International Arbitration (NCIA) was designated as a China-Africa Joint Arbitration Centre (CAJAC) to provide facilities for resolution of Sino-Africa commercial disputes. The NCIA established a customized Arbitration Centre and Mediation Centre. Policy, Legal and Institutional Reforms Policy Reforms: During the period under review, the following policies were developed: the National Ethics and Anti-Corruption Policy; Policy on public participation; GJLOS Policy; the National Legal Aid and Awareness Policy, 2015; Draft National Correctional Policy; Draft Gaming Policy, Bail Information and Supervision Policy; Aftercare policy; and the Gender and Disability Policy.

Institutional Reforms: The Nairobi Centre for International Arbitration (NCIA), Asset Recovery Agency (ARA) and the Business Registration Services (BRS) Board were operationalized. Online registration of businesses (companies and business names) was operationalized through the e-citizen platform www.ecitizen.go.ke. The Office of the Attorney General and Department of Justice (OAG&DOJ) decentralized its services to 12 regional offices. Correctional Service Reforms: The Kenya Prisons Service’s structure, probation and aftercare were re-organized in 2016 to enhance service delivery. Amendments were made to the Criminal Procedure Code incorporating victim impact statement and bail inquiries by probation officers. A Concept Paper on parole system was developed and legislative proposals made to anchor the system in the draft Aftercare of Offenders Bill and in the Prisons Act. 6.2.2 Emerging Issues, Challenges and Lessons Learnt Emerging Issue x� Complexity and sophistication of crime (cybercrime, terrorism, radicalization, violent extremism and piracy); x� Increased access to justice which has led to increase in the number of cases being filed against the Government; and x� Increased socio-economic rights awareness, discovery of natural resources, cyber-crimes, terrorism, internationally organised crime, global changes in the legal environment and ethics all of which necessitates specialized training of judicial officers. Challenges x� Inadequate human and financial resources; x� Limited civic awareness on the Constitution; x� Limited knowledge of the functions of both national and county governments; x� Increased risks of terrorist attacks; x� Inadequate number of technical persons to draft laws; x� High public expectations; x� Tedious law making processes; and x� Lack of clear linkage between the Senate (as the guarantor of devolution) and County Governments. Lessons Learnt x� A Multi-Agency Team (MAT) approach to fighting corruption creates synergy among anti-corruption law enforcement agencies; x� Promotion of ADR mechanisms increases levels of asset recovery; x� Promotion of the rule of law is critical to preventing and combating corruption; x� Holistic approach to service provision, especially inclusion of psycho-social support and process services is key; x� For sustainable development, there is need to ensure that human rights-based approach guides all government processes; x� Proper coordination of the various agencies in developing the legislations implementing the Constitution contributed to the timely enactment of laws; and x� Policy formulation by Ministries, Departments, Agencies and County Governments should always precede enactment of legislation. 6.2.3. Programmes and Projects for 2018 – 2022 Flagship Projects Implementation of Constitution and Legal Reforms: The objective of this project is to ensure that all laws conform to the Constitution. The project entails reviewing and developing laws to implement the constitution, undertaking civic education and inculcating a culture of constitutionalism. THIRD MEDIUM TERM PLAN 2018 – 2022VISION 2030104 Leadership, Ethics and Integrity: The programme seeks to strengthen legislative, policy and institutional framework for leadership, ethics and integrity by developing whistleblower protection mechanism, asset tracking and recovery, framework for wealth declaration, leadership and integrity framework and strengthening of multi-agency collaborations. It will also implement bilateral and multilateral leadership, ethics and integrity agreements. National Cohesion and Integration: This programme plays a significance role in building the spirit of nationhood and national integration under the nation’s leadership. It will promote national unity by facilitating processes and policies that encourage elimination of all forms of ethnic discrimination irrespective of background, social circle, race and ideological belief(s). It will further enhance the capacity for Kenyans to accept each other in appreciating the significance of diversity through sensitization and training on non-violent conflict resolution processes, as well as peace building initiatives that appreciate human dignity. Legal Aid and Awareness: The programme will focus on development and implementation of a sustainable funding strategy, automation of legal aid services, rolling out legal aid to sixteen additional counties and broadening of public private engagement. Judicial Transformation: The programme aims at transforming the judiciary into a legitimate, effective and independent custodian of justice. It will involve the transforming of court procedures, processes, organizational culture and management to re-orientate them towards a culture of responsive, proactive, friendly, effective and accessible service delivery. In addition, a Judiciary Fund will be operationalized to safeguard its independence and to redesign institutional and administrative arrangements of judiciary to create a unified national institution with appropriate levels of devolution. Further, the Judiciary will be re-equipped to develop a robust, indigenous, patriotic and progressive jurisprudence. Strengthening the Criminal Justice System: The criminal justice system will be strengthened to ensure independent institutions have clear mandates, and that formal collaboration mechanisms exist amongst the relevant institutions. This programme will entail four sub-programmes, which include prosecution services, correction service (including probation and prison services), witness protection services and crime research. Other Programmes and Projects Implementation of the Bill of Rights: The Constitution espouses a Human-Rights Based Approach (HRBA) to development by encapsulating important national values and principles of governance, which must inform all aspects of government development planning. The sector will therefore build capacity on HRBA to programming and planning for meaningful realization of rights. Strengthening Administrative Justice: The Sector will develop standards and best practices on administrative justice and access to information and data protection, as well as strengthening and decentralization of the Ombudsman Office to 10 counties. Improve Crime Research: This will entail development of a national crime year book on crime trends, roots, consequences and prevention; and establishment of a national crime data repository unit and systems. Legal Education: This will entail modernization of the Legal Education System to enhance quality and access to legal education and training. Victim of Offences: This will entail establishment of systems and structures for victims of offences. Capacity Building: Enhance capacity building for state counsels to enable them handle litigation and disputes arising from novel and emerging issues through local and international litigation or arbitration. Political and Economic Governance x� Electoral and Political Processes: The Sector will ensure credible elections as a critical component for issue-based politics. This will be achieved through constitutional and legal requirements governing electoral processes to ensure free, fair and credible elections. x� Economic Governance: The Sector will implement laws related to economic governance through formulation and implementation of the National Policy on alternative dispute resolution, and improvement of ease of doing business. 6.2.4.

THIRD MEDIUM TERM PLAN 2018 – 2022VISION 2030106 THEMATIC AREAS 7.0 Overview As the country continues with the implementation of Vision 2030, three thematic areas have been identified, due to their importance to Kenya’s overall development covering: HIV and AIDS; Climate Change and Disaster Risk Management. 7.1 HIV and AIDS “A Kenya free of HIV infection, Stigma and AIDS-related deaths “ HIV continues to be a major challenge to the achievement of the national development aspirations as enshrined in the Vision 2030. It impacts negatively on the productive capacity of the Kenyan labour force especially those between ages 15-35 years. HIV and AIDS is a cross-cutting issue that needs a multi-faceted approach to mitigate its impact and reduce its spread. During the Plan period, various programmes and projects will be implemented across all sectors to address the pandemic. 7.1.1 Situation Analysis During MTP II, the country made gains in reducing HIV incidence among adults aged 15-49 from 4.48 per 1000 in 2000 to 1.46 per 1000 in 2016. The national HIV prevalence rate was 5.9 per cent in 2015. The new HIV infections among adults stood at 56,000 while those from mother to child transmission were 6,100 in 2016. The scale-up of Prevention of Mother to Child Transmission (PMTCT) has averted 114,300 new infections and 51,400 AIDS-related deaths among children under 5 years of age. The annual AIDS related deaths have stabilized at approximately 30,000 deaths occurring among adults aged 15 years and above since 2015. Deaths related to AIDS among children of less than 14 years were 4,800 in 2016. The number of people initiated on life-long Anti-Retroviral medication stood at 1,018,900 (64 per cent of total population of persons living with HIV). The scale-up of ART since 2013 has saved 237,500 lives by averting deaths due to AIDS-related causes. The National treatment targets are at 67 per cent against the global commitments of 90 per cent of all those who are HIV infected. There was an increase in the number of new HIV infections, especially among adolescents and young people (15- 24 years). Notably, 46 per cent of all new infections were among young people aged 15 to 24 years as at 2016. High level of external funding for HIV programmes and limited coordination across implementers makes the sector vulnerable to external decisions and poses a risk for Kenya’s health security. The domestic financing for the HIV response stood at 29 per cent in 2016. Substantive efforts have been made to facilitate access to legal services for People Living with HIV (PLHIV), and other priority groups. There are on-going efforts to address human rights violations that increase vulnerability to HIV and more broadly, undermine responses to the epidemic. However, stigma and discrimination, Sexual and Gender Based Violence (SGBV) remain recurring challenges. The HIV response is guided by the Kenya AIDS Strategic Framework (KASF) 2014–2019. All counties have costed their AIDS Strategic Plans (CASPS) that guide the HIV response and the plans are aligned to the KASF. In 2016/17, 34 per cent of the counties included HIV specific budgets in their plans. These interventions among others have strengthened service delivery and contributed to results experienced nationally. Other achievements include: HIV Prevention x� New HIV infections among adults (15+) were reduced by 37 per cent from 88,600 in 2013 to 56,100 in 2016. x� New HIV infections among children (less than 14 years) was reduced by 53 per cent from 12,900 in 2013 to 6,100 in 2016. Care and Treatment x� The number of people who received Anti-Retroviral Therapy (ART) treatment increased by 55 per cent from 656,400 in 2013 to 1,018,900 in 2016. x� Retention on ART for adults at 60 months increased by 11 per cent (70 per cent in 2013 & 81 per cent in 2016) x� The percentage of people who have suppressed viral load increased by 4 per cent (75 per cent in 2013 & 79 per cent in 2016). x� AIDS-related deaths reduced by 38 per cent from 58,000 in 2013 to 36,000 in 2016. x� A National Commodity Pipeline with enhanced planning and reduced stock-out was established through the Kenya Medical Supplies Agency (KEMSA). 7 THIRD MEDIUM TERM PLAN 2018 – 2022 VISION 2030 107 Coordination of the Multi-sectoral HIV response x� Kenya AIDS Strategic Framework 2014/15-2018/19 and County HIV and AIDS Strategic Plans for 47 counties were developed and launched. x� Research funding increased by 1 per cent of AIDS expenditure to strengthen research. x� The National AIDS Control Council established nine regional offices to support various counties in the coordination of the HIV response. x� The MAISHA MAARIFA Online Research Hub for HIV, Sexual Reproductive Health and co- morbidities was established in 2015 as a repository and interactive platform (www.maishamaarifa.or.ke) and currently holds 1,083 on-going studies. x� Established an automated Dash Board – Situation Room which provides strategic information for decision making at National and County Level. x� The HIV Implementing Partners Online Reporting System (HIPORS) was also established to enhance Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) reporting on funding across 47 counties. x� Domestic financing increased by 12 per cent from 17 per cent in 2013 to 29 per cent in 2016 of the total HIV and AIDS expenditure. x� The number of community based organizations that implemented HIV and AIDS programmes across the country increased from approximately 7,000 in 2013 to 15,400 in 2015. x� Establishment of a certification system, MAISHA certification to leverage the competencies of public sector to deliver on the country’s targets. 7.1.2 Emerging Issues, Challenges and Lessons Learnt During the period under review, various emerging issues and challenges impacted negatively on effective implementation of programmes under this sector. There were also several lessons learnt that can help to improve in prioritization and implementation of programmes identified in the MTP III. Emerging Issues x� High numbers of new infections, especially among adolescents and young people (15- 24 years); x� Increased AIDS related deaths among adolescents and young people; x� New infrastructure projects that have the potential to increase HIV infections among the communities; x� Resistance to HIV drugs due to challenges in ART programme retention and adherence; and x� Reduced financing due to change in policies of major development partners. Challenges x� High stigma towards HIV and AIDS positive persons, which contributes to poor uptake of medicine; x� Low levels of comprehensive knowledge about HIV, especially among young people, in spite of many being engaged in the education sector; x� High risk sexual behaviour including multiple partnerships and low condom use and distribution; x� Limited socio-economic empowerment and challenges with retention in education, especially among adolescent girls and young women, which increase HIV risk; x� Low domestic resource mobilization for HIV programmes; x� Weak framework to enforce Kenya Essential Package for Health (KEPH) defined HIV services in private facilities and few functional Community Units across counties and uncoordinated response by private sector; x� Limited reporting of community level and non-health sector HIV interventions, limiting the ability of programs to respond appropriately to needs and ad- hoc rather than routine use of data for decision making; x� Poor service coverage among vulnerable and priority populations; x� Poor treatment adherence and management of co-morbidities; x� Inadequately equipped laboratories; and x� Late detection and diagnosis of HIV. Lessons learnt x� Population and location-based analysis of 90-90-90 (By 2020; 90 per cent of all people living with HIV will know their HIV status, 90 per cent of all people with diagnosed HIV infection will receive sustained antiretroviral therapy, 90 per cent of all people receiving antiretroviral therapy will have viral suppression) is needed to determine programmatic gaps. In 2016, Kenya’s progress towards 90-90-90 stood at 65-63-55 at national level. x� There is need for improved data and information management at all levels to enhance programming for the HIV response e.g., THIRD MEDIUM TERM PLAN 2018 – 2022VISION 2030108 implementing Situation Room in all the 47 counties. x� Enhanced coordination with the NGO Coordinating Board to increase utilization of the HIPORS among NGOs is necessary for implementing HIV programmes. 7.1.3 Programmes and Projects for 2018-2022 Flagship Programmes and Projects Sustainability of the HIV Response Towards Fast Tracking the Ending of AIDS x� Inclusion of HIV services as part of the Universal Health Coverage /National Hospital Insurance Fund supa cover and all persons living with HIV covered for ART services and HIV services offered as part of NHIF package. x� Establish a mechanism for long term financing for HIV and Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs); x� Establish a Public Private Partnership (PPP) to promote local manufacturing of HIV related commodities to improve access to affordable HIV commodities. HIV Prevention x� Elimination of Mother to Child HIV transmission through increased coverage of prevention of mother to child transmission services attained annually for all HIV positive pregnant women; x� Reduction in the number of annual new adult HIV infections to 15,100 by 2022 through; Increasing coverage of HIV prevention services including HIV Testing Services (HTS) and Voluntary Medical Male Circumcision (VMMC) and use of protection; and x� Reduction in the number of new HIV infections among adolescent and young people annually by increasing comprehensive knowledge of HIV among adolescents and young people and uptake of comprehensive services. Universal Access to Treatment to Achieve 90-90-90 Targets x� Improve ART Coverage to 90 per cent of the Persons Living with HIV by identification of PLHIV through provision of target population-friendly, integrated and quality HIV Testing Services (HTS), linkage and retention in care for persons diagnosed with HIV; x� Establish functional treatment literacy centres; and x� Establish County HIV tribunal hubs and develop Model Anti-discriminatory laws for counties to promote Human Rights – based approaches to HIV programming and reduce HIV related stigma. Promoting utilisation of strategic information for research and monitoring and evaluation (M&E) to enhance programming x� Generation and availability of routine data for decision making from community, health and Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDA) sub-systems; and x� Establish an enhanced and accessible HIV and health analytics platform (Situation room). Strengthening Accountability and Coordination of the HIV Response x� Strengthen stakeholder co-ordination and accountability structures and systems at all levels (National and County). Other Programmes x� Create mechanism to harmonize infrastructure resources available for mitigation of HIV and related NCDs with national HIV prevention and control priorities; x� Increase the County HIV budget allocations and government contribution; x� Undertake an estimate for NCDs burden; and x� Develop a multi-sector strategy for NCDs prevention. 7.1. 4 Policies, Legal and Institutional Reforms Legal and Policy Reforms x� Review policies and promote an enabling policy environment for an effective HIV response in the Country. 7.2 Climate Change “Enhance climate actions towards a low carbon and climate resilient development” East Africa has been identified as one of the regions that will become more vulnerable to the vagaries of climate change. Kenya’s economy is highly dependent on climate-sensitive sectors, making it vulnerable to climate variability and change. Increasing frequency and intensity of climate events such as severe droughts and massive floods in recent decades pose a challenge to the attainment of Vision 2030 development agenda. THIRD MEDIUM TERM PLAN 2018 – 2022 VISION 2030 109 The MTP III will continue to provide an opportunity to mainstream climate actions into development planning, decision making and implementation in all sectors of the economy at national and county levels to ensure sustainable development, as required by the Climate Change Act 2016, United Nations Paris Climate Change Agreement, and Sustainable Development Goal Number 13 (Climate Action). This will promote low carbon climate resilient development, ensure that investments are climate proofed against climate change related shocks and that development does not adversely impact on the environment. Additionally, climate change mitigation actions will facilitate achievement of the “Big Four” initiatives especially relating to food and nutrition security and health. 7.2.1 Situation Analysis During the MTP II, climate change adaptation and mitigation actions were to some extent mainstreamed across the sectors. Kenya ratified the United Nations Paris Climate Change Agreement in December 2016 signifying its strong commitment to the global efforts to address climate change. Other initiatives include: National Climate Change Action Plan (NCCAP 2013-2017): The NCCAP, which is anchored in the Climate Change Act 2016, was developed and recommended the mainstreaming of climate change actions in development planning, budgeting and implementation processes. It also recommended the formulation and implementation of a climate change policy and legal frameworks. The priority adaption and mitigation actions are at different stages of implementation based on the review study of the NCCAP 2013-2017. Climate Change Act, 2016: The implementation of Climate Change Act commenced in May 2016. The Act aims to strengthen climate change governance and coordination structures. It outlines the key climate change duties of public and private sector entities and also recognises the complementary roles of the national and county governments towards addressing climate change. Climate Finance: The National Treasury developed a draft National Policy on Climate Finance that establishes the institutional framework for mobilization and management of climate finance. Kenya accessed climate funding from international sources including Global Environment Facility (GEF), Green Climate Fund (GCF), and the Adaptation Fund (AF). Green Economy Strategy and Implementation Plan (GESIP): The GESIP (2016-2030) was launched in July 2017 and aims at providing guidance to all development actors to adopt pathways with higher green growth, cleaner environment and higher productivity relative to the business as usual growth scenario. It will aid Kenya’s transition to a low carbon development path through promotion of economic resilience and resource efficiency, sustainable management of natural resources, development of sustainable infrastructure and providing support for social inclusion. County Climate Change Initiatives: Several Counties have taken actions such as development and legislation of county climate change Policies and Bills to address climate change. Other actions include: establishment of climate funds; mainstreaming of climate change actions into the County Integrated Development Plans (CIDPs) and Spatial Plans; and implementation of Greening initiatives like solar street lighting, energy efficient cook-stoves, and climate smart agriculture. Sectoral climate change policies and initiatives: Sectoral policies and legislations with relevance to climate change mitigation and adaption actions were prepared and enacted. These include: Climate Smart Agriculture Strategy (2016), Forest Conservation and Management Act (2016) and the National Forest Programme (2016–2030), National Drought Management Authority Act (2016), Water Act (2016), Draft Energy and Petroleum Policy (2015), Integrated National Transport Policy, Draft National Solid Waste Management Bill (2017), and National Spatial Plan 2015-2045. Greening initiatives were implemented in different sectors such as manufacturing, agriculture, tourism, infrastructure, and health. 7.2.2 Emerging Issues, Challenges and Lessons Learnt Emerging Issues x� The United Nations Paris Climate Change Agreement, that entered into force in 2016 presents new obligations for all Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC); x� Recent developments in the global carbon market occasioned by the failure of the second commitment period under the Kyoto Protocol to enter into force, and the European Union’s decision to limit emissions trading to Least Developed Countries impacts negatively on Kenya’s prospects to continue benefitting from the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) market; x� Recent developments in the extractives sector, particularly the discovery of coal, oil, gas and other minerals requiring clean and safe technologies to optimize low carbon climate resilient development; x� Increase in incidences of climate related vector-borne diseases; and x� The ban on use, manufacture and importation of bags has led to the need to find alternative packaging materials.. THIRD MEDIUM TERM PLAN 2018 – 2022VISION 2030110 Challenges x� Increase in the frequency and intensity of extreme climate events, especially droughts and floods, that continue to negatively affect the livelihoods of communities making them more vulnerable to climate change impacts; x� Inadequate capacity for timely reporting in view of the increased frequency of reporting under the Paris Agreement; and x� Trans-boundary climate change issues such as cross-border adaptation initiatives. Lessons Learnt x� Enactment of the Climate Change Act brought to the fore the importance of a high-level climate change coordination structure; x� Kenya is now a net Green House Gas (GHG) emitter, and hence the need to strengthen efforts in attaining the constitutional requirement of a tree cover of at least 10 per cent of the land area so as to enhance the GHG sink; x� Capacity building is critical for low carbon climate resilient development; and x� Climate change financial resources into the country are skewed in favour of mitigation actions, and hence the need to ensure a balance in allocation of resources between adaptation and mitigation. 7.2.3 Programmes and Projects for 2018-2022 Climate Change Governance and Coordination: The Programme aims at enhancing governance, coordination and financing of climate change related activities in all sectors of the economy. It will be implemented through: operationalization of the National Climate Change Council; development of subsidiary legislations; operationalization and resource mobilization for the Climate Change Fund and Partnering for the Green Growth & Global Goals 2030 (P4G). P4G is a new, global initiative to accelerate delivery on the Global Goals through green growth to be achieved by harnessing the strengths of the public and private sectors and supporting partnerships towards promoting practical solutions to development challenges, based on solid knowledge and evidence. The programme will also strengthen the Climate Change Directorate and operationalize climate change units in the Ministries, Counties, Departments and Agencies (MCDAs); formulate and implement national gender and intergenerational responsive public education and awareness on climate change; mainstream climate change actions into the National and County Governments’ policies and plans; and operationalize the National Climate Change Resource Centre. Promote Environmental Diplomacy: Kenya will continue to play a critical role in shaping global environmental agenda, particularly on climate change and sustainable development. In addition, Kenya will continue to champion raising of Nairobi’s stature as the world’s environmental headquarters. The programme aims at strengthening the United Nations presence in Nairobi, thus profiling Kenya as a global leader in championing environment and climate change debate. Capacity Building and Public Awareness Programme: The programme will strengthen both institutional and human capacity towards enhancing access to timely and accurate information on climate change. It will entail awareness creation; establishing dialogue, networking and building alliances on climate change; and integrating climate change into the education system. Other Programmes and Projects x� Formulation and implementation of the second National Climate Change Action Plan (NCCAP) 2018-2022. The second NCCAP will entail development of adaptation and mitigation actions. Adaptation involves reducing vulnerability to avoid or cushion the impacts of climate change, and to enable people to respond to climate risks by moving towards a climate resilient society. Mitigation actions entails taking measures to encourage Green House Gas (GHG) emission that are lower than business-as usual practice; and to reduce the human causes of emissions by moving toward a resource efficient economy that is as low carbon as possible. These actions will enable the country achieve the Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) under the Paris Agreement towards reducing the GHG emissions by 30 per cent by 2030 relative to the business-as-usual scenario of 143 Metric tons of Carbon dioxide Equivalent (MtCO2e). The actions will be implemented in various sectors of the economy which include environment, agriculture, forestry, energy, waste management, health, water, infrastructure, manufacturing, tourism, and disaster risk management. x� Climate Change Monitoring, Reporting and Verification (MRV); x� Green Growth and Employment Programme (GGEP); x� Switch Africa Green (SAG) Project; x� Green Innovations and Technologies Programme; and x� Green Economy Transition at Local Level. 7.2.4 Policy, Legal and Institutional Reforms x� Develop subsidiary legislation and roadmap for the implementation of the Climate Change Act, 2016; x� Initiate harmonization of sectoral policies and laws to integrate climate change; THIRD MEDIUM TERM PLAN 2018 – 2022 VISION 2030 111 x� Develop and implement climate change mainstreaming guidelines and indicators; and x� Develop regulations governing the incentives for the promotion of climate change initiatives by private entities. 7.3 Disaster Risk Management “An Integrated and Coordinated Disaster Risk Management System” Disasters retard development and economic gains through destruction of infrastructure and properties which often require reconstruction using diverted development funds. Effective Disaster Risk Management is therefore vital as it contributes to sustainable development and enhances community resilience. Kenya is vulnerable to both natural and man-made hazards, which include drought, floods, land-slides, urban and forest fires, armed conflicts, human and animal diseases, pests, earthquakes, infrastructure collapse, Tsunami and road accidents, affecting an estimated 3 to 4 million people annually. The economic cost associated with floods and droughts creates an estimated long-term fiscal liability equivalent to 2 to 2.4 per cent of GDP each year. Specifically, estimated costs of floods are 5.5 per cent of GDP every 7 years, whilst droughts account for 8 per cent of GDP every 5 years. The increasing intensity and magnitude of disasters in Kenya is further aggravated by conflicts (mostly over natural resources) and security threats. Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) addresses both the causal factors of disasters, including reducing exposure to hazards, lessening vulnerability, and improving preparedness for adverse and complex incidents. Disaster Risk Management (DRM) is a multi-sectoral responsibility and mainstreaming DRR is cost effective and more efficient in saving lives and livelihoods, and also enhances ability to respond timely to potential disasters. 7.3.1 Situation analysis In March 2015, 189 countries Kenya included, agreed to adopt the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction (SFDRR) 2015-2030 to address the increasing threats caused by disasters globally. The overall goal of the Sendai Framework is “the substantial reduction of disaster risks and losses of lives, livelihoods and health in the economic, physical, social, cultural and environmental assets of persons, business, communities and countries”. The Framework identifies four (4) priority areas: understanding disaster risk; strengthening disaster risk governance to manage disaster risk; investing in disaster risk reduction for resilience; and enhancing disaster preparedness for effective response and to build back better in recovery, rehabilitation and reconstruction. The Framework makes it clear that even though a country may have development priorities, it must take proactive measures that address the underlying factors that contribute to disaster risk and vulnerability. Regional Inter-Governmental Organizations have increasingly taken responsibility for following-up and implementing risk reduction measures. In November 2016, the African Union held the 6th Session of the African Regional Platform and the 5th High Level Meeting on DRR. The African region agreed to the programme for action through The Mauritius Declaration on the implementation of the SFDRR in Africa. Kenya embarked on the development of the DRM policy which, is based on the four priority areas of SFDRR. Additionally, the National Platform for DRR was reconstituted in 2015 and a National plan for DRR action developed. In the MTP II, the DRM was not effectively mainstreamed into the development agenda. The post-disaster needs assessment by the Government and the World Bank indicates that the disasters have adversely impacted Kenya’s key sectors of the economy. National and County Government staff were also sensitized on the five (5) HYOGO Framework of Actions. 7.3.2 Emerging Issues, Challenges and Lessons Learnt Emerging Issues x� Increase in magnitude and intensity of natural and man-made hazards; x� Developments in energy and petroleum sector; x� Emergence of new diseases and mutation of the current diseases; and x� Change in biodiversity and emergence of invasive plants and weeds affecting land productivity.

THIRD MEDIUM TERM PLAN 2018 – 2022 VISION 2030 113 THE IMPLEMENTATION FRAMEWORK 8.0 Overview The implementation Framework for the MTP III 2018-2022 has incorporated the “Big Four” initiatives and key policy, legal and constitutional requirements as well as institutional reforms which include: x� The Fourth Schedule of the Constitution of Kenya (2010) which outlines the functions of the National and County Governments and supporting laws such as the Public Financial Management Act (2012) and its updated regulations (The Public Finance Management National Government Regulations 2015 and the Public Finance Management County Government Regulations 2015); County Government Act (2012); Inter-governmental Relations Act (2012); the National Government Coordination Act (2013); the Urban Areas and Cities Act (2011); and the Public Procurement and Asset Disposal Act No. 33 of 2015; x� The Inter-governmental Relations Technical Committee (IGRTC), Inter-governmental Budget and Economic Council (IBEC), Council of Governors (CoG) and the National and County Government Coordinating Summit; x� The Public Private Partnership Act (2013) to facilitate investment in key infrastructure projects and projects in other sectors of the economy; x� A Draft Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) Policy and M&E Bill have been prepared to provide the legal and institutional framework for operationalization of an efficient ICT-based M&E system to track the implementation of programmes and projects at both the national and county level; x� Adherence by the Government and Development Partners to Aid Effectiveness and General Principles of Partnership to ensure faster and higher absorption of donor funds to achieve development results; x� Alignment of County Governments Integrated Plans, County Spatial Plans, and Ministries, Departments and Agencies’ (MDAs’) Strategic Plans (2018-2022) to MTP III and linking them to a Results-Based Framework through Performance Contracts and Staff Performance Appraisal System; x� Developing guidelines for Public Investment Management to enhance efficiency and effectiveness in public investments; x� Tracking implementation of Kenya’s economic partnerships to maximize benefits from regional and international engagements; x� Deepening regional and international economic cooperation; and x� Tracking productivity and competitiveness improvement in the country. 8.1 Implementation of the MTP in the Context of National and County Governments The implementation of programmes and projects of the MTP will be done in accordance with the Fourth Schedule of the Constitution and Acts and Institutions cited above. During MTP III, additional initiatives will be taken to further strengthen the planning and implementation framework at the national and county level especially to efficiently deliver on the “Big Four” initiatives. These include: x� Use of conditional grants to Counties to implement the “Big Four” initiatives and other targeted programmes; x� Finalization and implementation of the National Urban Development Policy (NUDP); x� Amendment of the PFM Act to entrench the minimum threshold for Parliament to review the recommendations of the Commission on Revenue Allocation (CRA); x� Enactment of the County Government (Tax Regulations) Bill 2016; x� Development of a policy and enactment of legislation to provide for appropriate sharing of revenue and benefits accruing from exploitation of natural resources; and x� Development and implementation of a policy on shared resources between counties. The Implementation Matrices (Annex 1) indicate the programmes and projects to be implemented by the National and County Governments in conformity with the various laws and institutional reforms that support the framework for inter-governmental consultations and co ordination. 8.2 Statistical Reforms and Surveys During the MTP III period, focus will be to improve the quality of data for policy, planning and budgeting purposes. Various surveys and Censuses will be carried out which include Kenya Population and Housing Census 2019, review of Statistical Act, 2006 to align it to the Constitution, enactment of County Statistics Act to govern statistical activities at the county level, rebasing of National Accounts, Census of Industrial Production and Census of Agriculture. 8 THIRD MEDIUM TERM PLAN 2018 – 2022VISION 2030114 8.3 Monitoring and Evaluation The Constitution provides a fundamental basis for M&E to ensure transparency, integrity, accountability and access to information at national and devolved levels of Government. In this regard, the Government has developed a Draft M&E Policy that sets the policy direction for conducting M&E of policies, programmes and projects to ensure efficient and effective implementation of MTP III. The policy will inform the formulation of the M&E Bill. The M&E Policy and Bill will provide the legal and institutional framework to operationalize the National Integrated Monitoring and Evaluation System (NIMES) and the County Integrated Monitoring and Evaluation Systems (CIMES). It will establish M&E Committees at the National, Sectoral and County levels. The respective Committees will identify national, sectoral and county level indicators; ensure compliance with reporting standards and formats. Ministries, Counties, Departments and Agencies (MCDAs) will be required to submit timely and accurate progress reports of programmes and projects in line with the approved reporting standards and formats. To enhance evidence based policy making, evaluation will be an integral tool for management and governance thereby enabling the Government to review performance, learn from experiences and make informed decisions. Evaluation will be done with the aim of assessing the outcomes and impact of public policies, programmes, projects and service delivery. The Government will develop standards, principles and guidelines for conducting evaluation. In addition, a Capacity Development Strategy to guide M&E capacity development in the country will be developed in consultation with stakeholders. The Strategy will define the capacities that will be enhanced at technical, managerial and institutional levels. Further, both levels of government will be required to develop Communication Strategies for NIMES and CIMES. Effective implementation of the M&E framework will require provision of adequate financial resources. Each MCDA will be required to set at least 1 per cent of its development budget for M&E activities in line with the M&E Policy. 8.4 Africa Peer Review Mechanism (APRM) The APRM is an important framework for promoting good governance in Africa aimed at championing transformative leadership through the sharing of experiences amongst member countries. The mechanism is undertaken on four thematic pillars namely Democracy and Political Governance, Socio-Economic Development, Economic Governance, and Management and Corporate Governance. During MTP III, Kenya will implement the recommendations from the 2nd Country Review Report through a five-year National Plan of Action (NPoA). These recommendations will be implemented in collaboration with the various Ministries, Counties, Departments, Agencies and other relevant stakeholders. Progress reports will be presented to the APR Forum of Heads of State and Government. 8.5 Role of Public Benefits Organizations The development of strong partnerships with Public Benefits Organization (PBOs) will strengthen implementation of the MTP and enhance socio-economic development of the country. The PBO Act 2013 will be operationalized during the Plan period to improve coordination of non-state actors and alignment of their activities and resources towards implementing MTP III. The Act establishes an effective regulatory and institutional framework for Public Benefits Organizations. It aims at among other things, to facilitate formation and growth of PBOs; promote their compliance with legal and statutory organizations and high standards of governance, transparency and accountability; and enhance cooperation between PBOs, Government, Private Sector and Development Partners. 8.6 Aid Effectiveness and General Principles of Partnership The Global Partnership for Effective Development Cooperation (GPEDC) which Kenya subscribes to is guided by international commitments on Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and Financing for Development which champions improved means of implementation of programmes. GPEDC has four shared Effective Development Cooperation principles, namely: Country Ownership of Development priorities by recipients of development assistance; Focus on Results; Inclusive Development Partnerships; and Transparency and Accountability which will guide national and county governments in programme implementation. Effective development cooperation in Kenya is implemented at both technical and policy levels through multi-stakeholder partnerships which include government ministries, departments, agencies; development partners; the civil society organizations; foundations; the private sector; trade unions; and the academia. The implementation of GPEDC requires stronger Government leadership and ownership guided by the requirements of the Constitution, Public Finance Management Act, Kenya External Resources Policy and the Devolution Policy. The principles offer an accountability framework which measures the progress of governments in tackling the effectiveness of their development co-operation. Official Development Assistance (ODA) plays a key role in supplementing the development budget at the national and county levels. During the MTP II, ODA averaged 53.6 per cent of the development budget. In 2016/17, it accounted for 50.4 per cent of development THIRD MEDIUM TERM PLAN 2018 – 2022 VISION 2030 115 budget and 16.4 per cent of the total national budget. To ensure effective implementation of the MTP III, measures will be put in place to ensure higher absorption of ODA to achieve the desired results. Further, the two levels of government (National and County) will need to domesticate and implement the effective development cooperation principles and the 2016 Nairobi Outcome Document on GPEDC. During the MTP III, the Government and development cooperation actors in Kenya commit to work closely and implement the following actions: x� Ensure that Development Partners’ Country Assistance Strategies and Programmes are aligned to Kenya Vision 2030 and the MTP III; x� Sensitization and implementation of the Kenya External Resources Policy; x� Adhere to laws, regulations, and policies relevant to development finance; x� Implement the operational guidelines for development partners’ engagement at the counties; x� Champion the use of country systems in budgeting, procurement, reporting, accounting, auditing, and monitoring of government programmes and projects; x� Regular joint assessments will be done to monitor progress of development partners’ use of country systems; x� Finalize the integration of the electronic Project Monitoring Information System (e-ProMIS) with other governmental financial systems and ensure full implementation of all modules in e-ProMIS by all actors; x� Promote broader engagement of the public in the budgeting process; x� Improve the engagement modalities with non-traditional development partners and other non-state actors; x� Improve the predictability of development finance by ensuring that development partners provide reliable indicative commitments over a multi-year period (3 years) within the Medium Term Expenditure Framework (MTEF); x� Ensure that expenditure returns are submitted to the National Treasury on resources channelled directly to implementing agencies by development partners; x� Coordinate and maintain a harmonized and rationalized timetable for all development partners’ joint missions; x� Operationalize and strengthen inclusive joint sector working groups between Government, development partners and non-state actors; x� Strengthen the capacities of existing projects’ monitoring and evaluation systems to ensure timely availability of information and transparency in implementation of programmes and projects; x� Support reduction in data gaps by capacity building through appropriate financial and technical support to improve the national statistical capacity; x� Develop networks for knowledge exchange, peer learning and coordination among South-South and Triangular cooperation and establish a South-South Centre; x� Hold regular technical and policy level meetings for review and follow-up on implementation of effective development cooperation principles and commitments; x� Establish a National Coordinating Mechanism to facilitate Monitoring and Evaluation of implementation of various bilateral, regional and international cooperation frameworks as well as international obligations between the Government of Kenya and foreign governments, regional and international organizations; and x� Promote Nairobi City as an economic and diplomatic hub. 8.7 Alignment of County Integrated Development Plans( CIDPs), County Strategic Plans, (CSPs), and MDAs Strategic Plans with MTP III The National Treasury and Planning has prepared guidelines for aligning the CIDPs with MTP III. The Ministry will prepare guidelines for aligning CSPs and MDA Strategic Plans with the MTP III to ensure effective implementation of the Plan. The Performance Contracts of all MCDAs will also be aligned to MTP III targets. The framework for County Governments’ engagement with development partners will be developed and implemented during the MTP III period. 8.8 Reporting on Implementation of the MTP III MCDAs will prepare quarterly and annual progress reports on the implementation of the MTP III. The National Treasury and Planning will consolidate and prepare regular reports and publish Annual Progress Reports (APRs), Mid-Term and End-Term Review Reports on implementation of MTP III. These reports will be presented to the Cabinet; the National and County Government Coordinating Summit; the President’s Delivery Unit, the National Economic and Social Council (NESC) and the Vision 2030 Delivery Board. These reports will be published and availed on the Ministry’s website. They will also be shared with all stakeholders including the public, development partners, private sector and civil society.
