Foreword

ldama Ravine Town Council’s Strategic Plan for the period 2006 - 2012 was prepared by departmental heads under the Co-ordination of the Town Clerk, assisted by the Works

Officer in collaboration with SNV/Netherlands Development Organisation, North Rift Portfolio, the Council Planning Team and other stakeholders. The plan comes about based on broad-based consultations among various stakeholders. A series of processes inform the plan beginning with a desk assessment that sought to address the background and internal capacity of the Council. This culminated into an envisioning forum in which stakeholders were involved in identifying and planning intervention programs. The Council then undertook to validate, print and launch the document. The government through the Ministry of Local Government has initiated many policies and reforms aimed at improving service delivery in the private and public sectors. Some of the notable policies and reforms currently being implemented in line with global MDG’s include PRSP, ERS, PSR, and the KLGRP. These are aimed at: (a) improving local service delivery, (b) enhancing economic governance, and, (c) alleviating poverty through enhancing efficiency, transparency accountability, and encouraging wider participation of stakeholders in development initiatives. The strategic plan is the first ever by the Council and is aimed at ensuring an effective bottom-up approach that facilitates communication and feedback between the community and the Council. The plan has been prepared on the basis of on-going reforms within the Local Government. Against this background, the Council has adopted the theme “mobilization of resources, provision of quality service and creation of an enabling environment for sustainable development”. The plan articulates medium-term policies, goals and objectives, which are translated into short term strategies. This will provide linkage between planning, budgeting, monitoring and evaluation. The plan is divided into four Chapters. Chapter one: provides a background description of the Council in terms of the area, location, administrative wards, demographic and physical features. Chapter two: highlights the goals and objectives. Chapter three: deals with development priorities and strategies. Chapter four: provides details of implementation, monitoring and evaluation within an institutional framework of the Council. In order to achieve the planned objectives, the Council purposes to actively involve all stakeholders in the development processes outlined. It is worth noting that the resources required are enormous if delivery of services and capacity building for both staff and the general public is to be achieved. The Council will strive to create an information system in collaboration with the Ministry of Local Government and donors. This will enhance awareness hence the level of participation in improving the Council’s image as a people-oriented institution. Cllr Samuel K. Cherop Chairman, Town Council of Eldama Ravine

Introduction ldama Ravine Town Council’s Strategic Plan covers a period of six years and is the very first to be prepared since the Council was founded in 1992.

It is a medium-term plan that represents activities within six electoral wards that make the Council. As a service provider, the Council needs to determine its direction and an effective plan for utilizing its resources in the most efficient way so as to achieve sustainable development. In the past, the Councils system of administration was “top-down” and this created a lot of conflicts between the Council and stakeholders. Owing to current reforms within the local government, the Council now advocates a bottom-up system of governance in which public-private partnerships are greatly manifested. The incorporation of the MDGs, poverty reduction plans and other sectoral reform policies in the Council’s planning activities is a journey in the right direction. The Council strives to focus on its vision of being a top class service provider for sustainable development through mobilizing resources, providing quality services and creating an enabling environment for sustainable development while at the same time ensuring the adherence to its core values. Mr. Stephen Kiprono, Ag. Town Clerk, Town Council of Eldama Ravine

1.0 Background 1.1 Development Goals and Objectives 1.1.1 Millennium Development Goals and National Strategies

n the recent past, developing countries have suffered a lot of setbacks in their development agenda due to socio-cultural, political, economic and technological changes

not anticipated. As a result, poverty levels, famine and disease have become rampant causing a large population in many countries to live below the poverty line, especially in Sub-Saharan Africa. In order to alleviate the situation and stop further degeneration, the United Nations set the millennium goals to guide in planning. The millennium goals aim at: eradicating extreme poverty and hunger; achieving universal primary education; promoting gender equity and empowerment of womenfolk; reducing child mortality; improving maternal health; combating HIV/AIDS, malaria and other diseases; ensuring environmental sustainability; developing a global partnership for development. To implement the MDGs, the government of Kenya has come up with strategies contained in various government policies and papers, notably the Poverty Reduction Strategy Paper (PRSP), and the government reform program, among others. The preparation of this strategic plan seeks to complement these initiatives as it endeavours to localize the MDGs.

1.1.2 Sectoral Policy Objectives and Reforms

In Kenya, towns and rural areas are managed by local authorities ranging from Nairobi city council, municipal councils, town councils and county councils. This is done in coordination with government ministries such as local government, Ministry of Lands and Settlement, etc. The sectoral policy objectives of the Ministry of Local Government include the following: 1. To promote policies that avoid excessive concentration of population in large towns by

promoting vigorous growth of secondary towns and small urban centres; 2. To support the provision of catalytic infrastructure such as water supply, sewerage

treatment facilities, roads, markets and trading facilities; 3. To improve the capacity of local authorities to provide services on a sustainable basis by

broadening utilities and realistic pricing of urban facilities; 4. To strengthen the managerial and financial capacity of local authorities to formulate

policies, manage authority manpower resources, and carry out the design, implementation and management of infrastructure investments as well as ensuring that funds are made available to complete projects on time.

Owing to these sectoral objectives all local authorities in Kenya are required to prepare strategic plans and outline implementation of their programs geared towards meeting the MDGs and poverty reduction measures.

Eldama Ravine being the district headquarters and center of business in Koibatek district has great potential for growth, hence the Town Council faces the challenges of a fast growing town. Most of the services are still at their basic stages and require upgrading to meet the demands of the town’s population.

1.2 Profile of the Town Council of Eldama Ravine

1.2.1 Historical Background

Eldama Ravine area is also known as shimoni area. The names "eldama", "ravine" and "shimoni" denote a "deep valley", a physical feature that is found along the Perkera River. The Maasai were among the original natives of the area and river perkera has remained the key lifeline support system to the pastoral Maasai who used the Eldama Ravine as their grazing ground. It is believed that during the colonial period, the Nubians who worked for the British government as soldiers and transporters came and settled in Eldama Ravine town in 1887. Kerkwony where the stadium is currently situated is within the town. It attributes its name to history of an agreement signed by the Lembus community (who form ¾ of the population) and the colonial government. In 1897, the colonial government set base in Eldama Ravine under the leadership of Mr. Ternan and Mr. Grant. This intrusion was not taken kindly by the Lembus community who fought the British nationals and their men (who included the Maasais and Nubians) but finally overcame them after burning their ginneries, taking their women as prisoners and capturing their livestock in large numbers. The war was then called off and Mr. Terran left for Uganda leaving the affair under the care of Mr. Grant. He then released the women prisoners with the message to their men that responsible leaders should be sent to the fort to negotiate for peace. These negotiations took place at the present Kekwony stadium, hence the historical “Kerkwony Agreement” in which the Lembus were prevailed upon by Mr. Grant to state what they would not harm nor kill. Since their answer to the question was women, Mr. Grant asked them to offer a girl as a gesture of peace and lasting friendship. The girl offered was from the Kimeito clan while Mr. Grant offered a white bull to seal the agreement.

In 1902, the Christian Missionary Society (CMS) came to Eldama Ravine and established a mission station in the site presently occupied by AIC Mission. The purpose of the mission station was the extension of church activities into the remote areas of Baringo District and beyond. They have since expanded activities within the town to include Bible College,

3

Churches, Schools and Hospitals. During the Colonial era, Eldama Ravine town was an administrative town of Uganda and between 1940's and 1950's the town was the provincial headquarter of Naivasha Province. It was by then under administrative jurisdiction of Nakuru district. Part of it was transferred to Baringo district in 1964. Eldama Ravine was a white settlement. Among the white settlers who owned large tracts of land were Denning – “Kapdenning”, Law – “Kaplaw”, Tunner – “Kaptanna”, Gunson – “Yeson”, Warde – “Ndururu”, Goliath – “Kapkolia” and Kaptumbo – “Cokes”. After independence, the former white settler farms were subdivided and sold to individuals and cooperative societies. Several local authorities have administered Ravine between 1964 and 1991. These are Nakuru County Council, County Council of Central Rift, Ravine Urban Council and Baringo County Council. Eldama Ravine town was upgraded to a Town Council status in 1992 with six wards, namely Ravine, Poror, Perkera, Benonin/Kabiyet, Solian And Kabimoi, and covers an area of 205 km2. According to a human settlement report of 1978,Eldama Ravine was designed as one of the urban centers in the then Baringo district, with a population then of 2000 people. When the greater Baringo district was divided into Koibatek and Baringo districts in 1994, Ravine town became the headquarters of Koibatek district. In terms of planning, the current physical development plan for the town was prepared in1992, while the zoning plan was done in 2002. This shows how the physical development of the town will be guided up to the year 2025.

The existing sewage system is inadequate by far, consisting mainly of pit latrines and septic tanks without proper maintenance. These are being provided for by the Council, including other infrastructure system such as water supply and the road network.

1.2.2 Geographical Information

Eldama Ravine Town is situated about 60km North West of Nakuru Town, along the Nakuru-Makutano road (C55). It lies at an altitude ranging between 2095m and 2030m above sea level, and latitudes 00o 00N and 00o 05’N, longitudes between 35o and 40’E. Eldama Ravine town is the headquarters of Koibatek district and also Eldama Ravine Town Council. The name Eldama is derived from a Maasai word meaning ravine or narrow gorge, “shimoni” in Kiswahili. The town was better-known as Shimoni in the early colonial days and now named after a primary school in the town. The name Ravine existed due to the presence of a steep-sided gorge cut of Eldama Ravine river, 2km down stream and nearly 30m deep with precipitous sides. A central ridge sloping towards the Isanda river divides Eldama Ravine, which form Perkerra River in the Northwest direction. Elsewhere, the area within the township boundaries is divided into a number of lesser ridges and ravines.

1.3 Socio-Economic Activities

The major economic activities in Eldama Ravine include commerce, industry, agriculture and professional services.

Commerce: The central business district spreads along the Eldama Ravine-Maji Mazuri road and towards the Ravine showground road. The business situation in Eldama Ravine Town is generally at a moderate pace. Some small-scale business is carried out within residential areas such as Kapdening, Nubian village and Kabonyony area. There is need to expand the central business area owing to increasing trading activities. Industry: The industrial sector is not performing well within the town compared to the past. This is because the Kenya Cooperative Creameries (KCC) which was a major source of employment remained closed for long though it has now become functional and is expected to grow. The Government’s ban on logging has affected saw milling within the area. This has also been a source of livelihood for many years. Other small-scale industrial activities in Eldama Ravine include motor vehicle engineering, bakeries, milk processing, milling plants, a National Cereals and Produce Board (NCPB) warehouse and an operational slaughter slab. Quarrying as an extractive industry within Arama, Kamasaba, Metipso, Sinonin and Kapcholoi areas has gained importance. The extracted building

7

stones and ballast are used for building materials in the town and outside districts. There is an indication that due to an increased demand for building materials quarrying activities may expand rapidly.

In terms of economic base, the Council collects an average Kshs. 7.5 million per year from plots rent and business permits, of which Kshs. 1.7 million is revenue from designated market centres. An additional Kshs. 160,000 is generated per year from periodic markets, which are scheduled to take place in various market centres within the town council jurisdiction areas. Revenue is expected to increase in future once the strategic plan is effectively implemented. Agriculture: The high agriculture potential areas of the Council are Poror, Arama and Kamasaba. Crops grown include maize, beans and pyrethrum. Dairy farming and mixed farming is also practiced in the areas around Perkerra, Kabimoi, Esageri and Solian. A farmers training center (FTC) is located in Pekerra area. Industrial agriculture involving the production of flowers for export market is expanding in Eldama Ravine Town.

1.4 Demography

The Town Council of Eldama Ravine has an estimated population of 32,192 (CBS, 1999), representing an increase of 15,509 since 1989. This is attributed to the elevation of the urban centre to a town council in 1992 and subsequently, a district headquarters of Koibatek District. This has contributed significantly to growth and development of nearby settlement schemes. Within the next few years, the growth rate of the area is expected to increase by 2.7%.

1.6 Transports and Social Service Infrastructure 1.6.1 Transport

Nakuru Eldama Ravine Road and Nakuru Eldoret Road, traverse Eldama Ravine Town. They determine the nature and direction of urban growth. The town is well connected to other commercial areas through a wider road network. The town is easily accessible from Kabarnet, Nakuru, Eldoret and other areas through public transport. A section of the Kenya-Uganda railway line passes through Maji Mazuri, one of the urban areas of Eldama Ravine.

1.6.2 Environmental Infrastructure

The town lacks a sewerage system hence use of pit latrines and the septic tanks is common. The proposed sewerage site is yet to be developed. Owing to the hilly nature of the area runoff water from rains poses a major problem. During rainy seasons all the water from the roads and open areas of the Town collect and drain water into the Perkerra River contaminating it. The river is a source for domestic water. The Council is responsible for collecting and disposing solid waste.

1.6.3 Water Resources Infrastructure

Main sources of water in Eldama Ravine include underground and sub-surface sources including wells and boreholes. Over 1,399.2m3 per day as opposed to the expected 28,650m3 per day of water is tapped. Water supply is operated and maintained by the Government through the National Water and Pipeline Corporation. In recent years, the supply of water has been receding owing to demand caused by an increase in population. While most of the water distributed is treated, some of the water from the boreholes is not treated. Chemusus, which is the major water project serves a population of 62,570 including areas around Kabarak farm and its environs and even part of Nakuru town. This is a major project established and maintained by the National Water Conservation and Pipeline Corporation. Plans are underway to hand over water projects to the community in a move aimed at enabling the communities to sustainably manage water resources. The council is also in the process of forming a water company to be known as ERAWASCO. The stalled Kamelilo borehole and Kabimoi water project which is not operational will be rehabilitated.

Land tenure is viewed in terms of ownership and management of land. Land that was set apart for Eldama Ravine Town is Government land. It measures approximately 1 km2. The Council has little control over the allocation of leasehold land except in areas where the town council manages public land for purposes of expansion and urban development. Land outside the town is freehold private owned land. There are twelve commercial nodes (market centres) within the town council jurisdiction area whose land tenure is leasehold and is owned by the town council. More than 90% of the land to be brought under control is privately owned. Land value varies depending on the location, land tenure and infrastructure available. Leasehold and freehold plots are currently valued at Kshs. 200,000- 500,000 per acre.

1.8 Education

Education services within the Council include support to pre-schools, primary schools and secondary schools. These services are provided by the central government, private and church organizations. There are 31 nursery schools within the Council. In 2001 a total of 1,372 children enrolled including 666 boys and 706 girls. There are 28 schools within the Council with Eldama Ravine ward having 5, Poror ward - 9, Kabimoi ward - 4, Solian ward - 5, Benonin ward - 2 and Perkera ward - 3.

2.0 Development Priorities and Strategies 2.1 Business Growth and Revenue Enhancement

s stated in the sectoral policy objectives, one of the tasks of the local authorities is to support infrastructural development to spur economic growth. The Council seeks to

formulate policies that will improve revenue collection, thereby leading to improved financial capacity of the council to provide basic services to the residents. Among others, the Council hopes to construct market stalls and create an enabling environment to support business activities in the town. It will also strive to improve on the licensing procedures, monitoring the growth of economic activities in a sustainable and environmentally friendly manner.

2.2 Physical Planning and Land Tenure Policy

The Council will consider proper planning of the town and other trading centres that fall within its jurisdiction so as to control unplanned structures and the growth of informal settlements, which is a problem in many towns today. Survey of trading centres will be conducted within stipulated time frames to ensure that all land on leasehold is issued with title deeds. Of concern will be the privately-owned land which borders the town and is fast being translated into commercial properties. The Council will seek to work with the land owners to ensure that developments follow the zoning pattern of the town. This will require a great deal of collaboration and goodwill from the landowners and a proper framework to be put in place to avoid any conflicts that may arise.

2.3 Communication and Transport Infrastructure

Transport and communication are fundamental to economic growth of Eldama Ravine and especially in reducing poverty. The Council seeks to undertake the improvement of the tarmacked roads network in the town through regular maintenance. This will also apply to all weather and marrum roads. This will also involve organizing the bus park areas. Telephone booths will be installed around the bus park. The Council will encourage private developers e.g. Ravine Roses to support their initiatives.

2.4 Water and Sanitation

The supply of clean water for domestic and industrial use is also key to economic growth. This has the impact of reducing water borne disease as well as creating an enabling environment for businesses to thrive, especially in the hospitality industry. Currently the NWCPC provides water to the town residents and businesses that pay a flat rate. Currently, 17.6% of the town’s population is supplied water by the NWCPC. Water programs therefore, are among the priority activities the Council seeks to improve from the current state. To address this shortfall, the Council seeks the establishment of a water and sanitation company that will oversee the development and management of water resources

A

13

and sanitation. This is in progress and the company has already been registered with a functional office for its operation. It is expected that by the end of 2006 it will be fully operational. The Council will transfer the water and sewerage operations and facilities to the company as it is expected to run independently. This is in conformity to the water sector reform programmes and in line with privatisation policies as stipulated by the government. This move is expected to improve water distribution and billing systems in the town.

Regarding sanitation, the Council currently uses exhauster services to manage sewerage disposal at a fee. This is not sufficient considering the increasing population. The Council is currently liaising with the Ministry of Local Government to construct a sewerage treatment facility near Shauri Yako settlement. Tendering for the work is in progress. Construction of the conveyance piping has been planned to be ready by end of this plan period. Expansion and improvement of the solid waste damp site near the sewerage treatment site has also been planned. This will include construction of incinerators and landfills. To complement these efforts, initiatives to educate people on solid waste management and appropriate disposal of waste will be given emphasis.

2.5 Education

In order to improve the literacy level in the Council’s area of jurisdiction, priority has been given to the improvement of existing education facilities. With high literacy levels, the poverty level is expected to decrease, leading to other positive social changes such as awareness on prevention and control of disease infections. The council’s main programs in education will include support to construction of classrooms and other physical facilities, provision of bursaries to needy students, awareness on HIV/AIDS and promotion of behaviour change within society. Owing to free primary education the enrolment rate has grown and therefore, the Council will seek to accelerate awareness on the importance of education, especially of the girl-child, by encouraging civic leaders to hold barazas and other forums to inform the public.

2.6 Health

The Council has given priority to provision of health care services to the residents. Currently there are 4 functional Dispensaries namely, Toniok, Sagat, Sinonin and Arama. Distance between health facilities is within a radius of 2 km. The Council will support existing health facilities, especially government-run facilities by expanding and improving basic amenities within them as well as supporting construction of physical infrastructure.

2.7 Security

Security in Eldama Ravine town is generally good. However, in the recent past, isolated cases of crimes are now manifesting, which is a characteristic of any growing urban centre. This could be out of influx of immigrants from other areas and an increased pressure on

14

the basic resources of the town. The council intends to put up street lighting and to work closely with the police and provincial administration to check cases of crimes as well as control the increasing use of drugs or other illicit brews especially in the sprouting informal settlements of Shauri Yako areas and others.

2.8 Tourism and Recreation

The Council has in the recent past experienced a growth in tourism which has contributed significantly to increased revenue for the Council. Informal employment as a result of tourism activities is expanding. However Eldama Ravine has not tapped to full potential this important industry and will therefore endeavour to develop a tourism master plan to develop the industry to be able to compete and/or collaborate with neighbouring districts like Baringo. The Council will support private initiatives develop tourist resorts and activities in the town to take advantage of the tourists who traverse the town to and from Lakes Baringo and Bogoria in Baringo district. It will also strive to improve existing tourist sites and sceneries within the town such as the ravine, through advertising, recreational facilities like Langlang hot water springs (Sinonin), Lembus Cultural Centre, construction of foot bridge over the forest for watching Columbus monkeys. Old attraction sites will be given a facelift to promote local tourism and holiday making by the town residents and visitors.

2.9 Capacity Building

The Town Council of Eldama Ravine will carryout programs geared towards improvement of its organizational capacity in order to manage the resources at its disposal. This is aimed at providing better and improved services to residents. This is expected to lead to growth in business activities, poverty reduction and progress towards localising the MDGS. Construction of a modern Town Hall to house all the departments and the Full Council will greatly enhance service delivery. Although this may not be feasible in the short run owing to financial implications, the Council will ultimately include this in future plans. The Council will also purchase and improve its computer network and other equipment, improve the transport pool, and office furniture so as to support service delivery initiatives.

To improve the human resource capacity, the Council will conduct a staff appraisal so as to bridge any existing gaps. Staff will be encouraged to go for relevant in-service courses and seminars to improve their capabilities and skills. New staff will be employed and/or deployed to fill vacant or existing positions that are pending confirmation, commensurate to their qualifications and abilities. Staff motivational aspects will be considered, bearing in mind budgetary implications.

15

3.0 Implementation, Monitoring and Evaluation 3.1 Institutional Framework

The council will carry out the implementation of the programs through the various committees that will work closely with the elected and/or appointed project committees. Monitoring the programs will be done through physical checks of the projects on periodic basis. Appraisals of activities, auditing of records and regular briefs will form the basis for monitoring. Outputs of programs and activities will be weighed against the finances commitments and evaluation exercises will be used to recommend improvements.

I think it is important to outline a little bit who will be involved in monitoring and how. How have stakeholders been brought on board?
