FOREWORD
The Annual Development Plan (ADP) 2018/19 is the first annual plan dedicated to the
implementation of the County Integrated Development Plan 2018-2022. It is intended to guide
the annual budgeting process and to facilitate the implementation/monitoring of projects and
programmes in each department or agency of the County Government. The ADP will enhance
the prudent allocation of resources as envisaged in the government policy on expenditure
prioritization to achieve the transformative development agenda spearheaded by Governor
Kiraitu Murungi.
On an annual basis, the County Government is obligated to prepare an Annual Development Plan
(ADP), which is a one year step towards implementation of the CIDP. This document is largely
aligned to the CIDP and other planning frameworks such as the Kenya Vision 2030, the
Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the African Agenda 2063.
The Constitution of Kenya article 220(2) and the Public Financial Management Act lays emphasis
on Planning. The Public Finance Management act, 2012 Sec 125 and Sec 126 (1) emphasises
preparation of the Annual Development Plan as a link between the County Integrated
Development Plan and the overall budgeting Process. It outlines priority CIDP programmes and
projects to be implemented in the County in 2018/19.
The preparation of the ADP for Financial Year 2018/19 included a comprehensive consultation
process with all the departments and agencies, where priority projects and programmes were
considered and incorporated in the document. Due attention has been given to the
transformative, ongoing and new projects captured in the CIDP.
The aspirations of the people of Meru will remain at the centre of all ADPs and can only be
realised through effective implementation of the planned projects and programmes. Substantial
amount of resources amounting to KES. 12 Billion will be required to ensure full implementation
of this ADP. To meet this resource requirement the government will rely on equitable share from
the Exchequer, its own revenue, development partners and donors for support. In addition,
innovative approaches and strategies will be required to mobilise these resources. All
iii
stakeholders are called upon to collectively participate in resources mobilisation to implement
the ADP 2018/2019.
Proper implementation of this plan will lead to great improvement in the County economy. Some
of the specific benefits of implementation of this plan inter-alia include a) Improved household
access to adequate clean water and sanitation b) improved food security and promotion of
commercial agriculture c) Tourism development d) improved ECDE and Polytechnics
infrastructure e) Improved efficiency and effectiveness of infrastructure f) provision of quality,
affordable and accessible Healthcare g) Promotion of Youth Talents and Empowerment h)
Empowering our Women and i) Uplifting of Persons Living with Disabilities j) Improved
Environmental Conservation

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Preparation of an Annual Development plan is a statutory requirement of the PFM Act, 2012
which inter-alia lays emphasis on the County Integrated Development Plan as the overall guide
in the budget making process and that each County is expected to prepare on Annual
Development Plan (ADP) which derived from the CIDP.
The Annual Development Plan 2018/2019 details the development Projects and Programmes to
be implemented by departments within the County during that financial year. The
implementation of the plan is expected to contribute towards Making Meru Great. The Plan is
also expected to move the county towards realisation of the national Vision 2030 and the
sustainable development goals.
The Annual Development Plan has four chapters: Chapter one provides a short description of the
county in terms of its location; size; demographic profiles; administrative and political units. It
also highlights a summary of the socio-economic and infrastructural information that has a
bearing on the development of the county
Chapter two provides a review of department achievements in the year 2016/2017, the
challenges and lesson learnt in implementing the plan. It gives an insight into the direction the
county is headed in terms of planned versus allocated budget
Chapter three presents the sector/sub-sector strategic priorities, programmes and projects for
the 2018/2019. The programmes and projects are directly derived from the County’s broad
priorities and performance indicators. It also indicates the overall resource requirement in the
ADP.
Chapter four provides a summary of the resource requirement by departments. It also provides
a description of how the county government is responding to changes in the financial and
economic environment and total revenue and allocation patterns of budget.
Chapter five discusses the county monitoring and evaluation framework as outlined in the County
Integrated Monitoring and Evaluation System (CIMES).
In summary, the entire plan will cost approximately KES 12.0 billion towards realisation of a great
County of Meru. This will be met through the allocation from the consolidated fund, County
Government own revenue, Grants, PPPs, Joint ventures and other innovative strategies.

LEGAL BASIS FOR THE PREPARATION OF THE ADP

The Annual Development Plan 2018/2019 for Meru County is a major milestone that seeks to
highlight county development priorities. The Plan 2018/2019 was prepared in line with the Public
Finance Management Act, 2012 under section 126 (1)which states that every county government
shall prepare a development plan in accordance with Article 220(2) of the Constitution which
includes:
a) Strategic priorities for the medium term that reflect the county government's priorities
and plans;
b) A description of how the county government is responding to changes in the financial and
economic environment;
c) Programmes to be delivered with details for each programme of
i) The strategic priorities to which the programme will contribute;
ii) The services or goods to be provided;
iii) Measurable indicators of performance where feasible;
iv) The budget allocated to the programme;
d) Payments to be made on behalf of the county government, including details of any grants,
benefits and subsidies that are to be paid
e) A description of significant capital developments;
f) A detailed description of proposals with respect to the development of physical,
intellectual, human and other resources of the county, including measurable indicators
where those are feasible;
g) A summary budget in the format required by regulations; and
h) Such other matters as may be required by the Constitution or this Act.
xiii
THE LINK WITH CIDP AND THE BUDGET
a. CIDP
The planning process in the county is an integral part of the development process. This implies
that without proper planning we cannot achieve our development goal. It is the first critical stage
of the budget process (PFM 35 and PFM 126)
The County Government Act 2012, 104 obligates a county to develop an integrated plan,
designate planning unit at all county administrative units and promote public participation and
engagement by non-state actors in the planning units.
The CIDP therefore gives a roadmap for development in the county over five year period. It
reflects the strategic medium term priorities of the county government. It contains the specific
goals and objectives, an implementation plan, provisions for monitoring and evaluation and a
clear reporting mechanism. Therefore this annual plan will help in the implementation of the
CIDP.
b. Annual Budget
A county annual budget is a spending plan for the year that is based on the priorities identified
in the county Annual Development Plan. The budget is expected to operationalize objectives
envisaged in the CIDP and as outlined in the Annual Development Plan.

CHAPTER ONE: INTRODUCTION
1.1 Overview of Meru County

Meru County is one of the forty seven counties located in the eastern region of Kenya. It covers
an area of 6,936.2 square kilometers out of which 1,776.1Km2 is gazetted forest. It spans the
equator lying 06ᶿ North and 01ᶿ South and between latitudes 37ᶿ West and 38ᶿ East. Meru shares
border with five other counties; Isiolo to the North, Nyeri to the South West, Tharaka-Nithi to the
South West and Laikipia to the West. The county’s position on the eastern slopes of Mt Kenya
and the equator has highly influenced its natural conditions. Altitude ranges from 300m to
5,199m above sea level. This has influenced the atmospheric conditions leading to a wide variety
of microclimates and agro-ecological zones.
1.1.1 Economic Activities

The county’s economy relies mostly on agriculture. Both Crop farming and livestock-keeping
activities are practiced. Agriculture is common in all the sub Counties and is particularly intense
in the Imenti and Buuri sub counties while livestock is common in the Tigania, North Igembe sub
counties and Buuri. On crop farming majority of the people engage in subsistence farming where
they grow common crops such as maize, beans, sorghum, millet cabbages and fruits. Commercial
farming is characterized by Tea, Coffee, Macadamia, Khat (Miraa) and Wheat/ Barley farming in
different parts of the County. Other notable economic activities include Horticulture and
Floriculture mostly in Buuri Sub County. Some of the major tea processing factories include
Kionyo, Githongo, Michimikuru, Kiegoi and Imenti Tea Factories. Livestock keeping is
characterized by dairy and beef farming, chicken rearing, goat and sheep rearing, pig rearing for
commercial and subsistence purposes. The county is renowned for its wide scale growing of the
Miraa (Khat) which is a lucrative cash crop for the locals. Khat is mostly grown in Igembe and
Tigania and fetches millions of shilling in the Local export market for its farmers. The is an
upcoming mining industry which is presently mostly in form of extraction of building materials
such as quarrying, gravel and sand harvesting.
1.1.2 Climate and Weather

The climate in Meru can be described as cool and warm. The distribution of rainfall ranges from
300mm per annum in the lower midlands in the North to 2500mm per annum in the South East.
Other areas receive on average 1250mm of rainfall annually. There are two seasons with the long
rains occurring from mid-March to May and short rains from October to December.
Temperatures range from a low of 8ᶿC to a high of 32ᶿC during the cold and hot seasons
respectively. Temperature ranges between 16°C during the cold season and 23°C in the hot-warm
season. Meru receives an average rainfall of between 500mm and 2600mm each year. Altitude
ranges from 300m to 5,199m above sea level
1
1.1.3 Administrative Units
The administrative structure for the County Government of Meru comprises of (10) sub-counties
namely; Imenti South, Meru Central, Imenti North, Buuri, Tigania East, Tigania Central, Tigania
West, Igembe Central, Igembe South and Igembe North. Besides there are 28 divisions, 133
locations and 351 sub-locations.
1.1.4 Political Units
Meru County comprises of nine parliamentary constituencies, 45 electoral wards and one special
ward. The nine parliamentary constituencies are; South Imenti, Imenti Central, North Imenti,
Buuri, Tigania East, Tigania West, Igembe Central Igembe South and Igembe North. There are
forty five (45) wards & one (1) special ward and three hundred and ninety two (392) villages.
1.1.5 Demographic Profile

The projected population of the county in 2018 is 1,635,264, comprising of 808,596 males and
826,668 females. The County’s population growth rate is estimated at 2.1 per cent per annum.
The growth in population will be a strain on available resources such as land, water and natural
resources but on the other hand provides opportunity for growth. The County has a rapidly
growing urban population which is estimated to about 135,007 people. Majority or about 60% of
them are residing in Meru town. The County’s demographic divided window is expected to open
by 2023 if the current fertility and mortality rates remain. The County’s Human Development
Index is placed higher than the national average.
1.1.6 Infrastructure Development

The county has 5,968 km of road network. This comprises of 582 km bitumen, 581 km gravel and
4,805 km of earth surface roads. This network is maintained by different road agencies such as
KeRRA, KURA, KeNHA and County Government. Eighty percent of the earth roads are under the
mandate of the county government. The county is served by the Isiolo International Airport and
airstrips such as Gaitu, Mitunguu which needs to be upgraded. There are also several upgraded
bus parks. County Government of Meru has focused on the investment in information and
Communication Technology (ICT) to improve governance and service delivery. Most of the
community members rely on radio, television and newspapers as the major sources of
information. The County has an active website http://meru.go.ke/ with an uptime of 98.9% is a
reliable source of government information to the public with News Updates, Tenders, Jobs
adverts and any other information needed by the public. According to Kenya Population Census
2009, the main source of energy for cooking by household is wood fuel and charcoal which
accounts for 86.1 per cent and 6.6 per cent respectively. The number of household connected to
electricity is 13.6 per cent; those using paraffin are 4.5 per cent, gas 2.4 per cent, biogas 0.1 per
cent and solar 6.6 per cent. Major public and private institutions are connected to national grid
but the major challenge for the county is how to connect the over 85 per cent households with
electricity. Meru County has mapped the energy zone, that is, solar, wind and small hydro and is
partnering with private investors to generate the energy.

1.2 Annual Development Plan Linkage with CIDP
The CIDP 2018-2022 is the legal development blueprint in the county for the five-year plan
period. It reflects the strategic long and medium term priorities of the county government. These
priorities will be implemented annually through the ADP. The following are the broad CIDP

2.6 Lessons learnt and Recommendations

2.6.1 Lessons learnt
 Human resource management and development plan that will address all HR needs.
 The subsector has learnt that with delayed disbursement of funds, political interference
and a weak monitoring and evaluation system project implementation is delayed. The
sector recommends timely disbursement of funds, political discipline and a strong
monitoring and evaluation system to be put in place to ensure proper implementation of
projects.
 There is need for proper review of achievements per every financial year quarter.
 Need for sourcing of more funds from other development partners.
 Need for decentralization of AIE.
 Need for linking of budget to the Plan-most departments got funds below the planned
costs and others above the planed cost.
 Capital investment requires funding from alternative sources other than ordinary
revenues.
Recommendations
 Capacity building across all cadres.

 Change focus to preventive and promotive health care.
 Additional funding towards health-care.
 More investment in preventive care activities.
 Strengthen support supervision.
38
 More investment in public health.
 Integrated planning.
 Strengthen coordination and supervision at the Sub-County level.
 Promote partnerships in all areas of health care provision.
 Public participation is key in identifying projects that are priority to the people of Meru
County.
 The County Government of Meru should engage the Water Resources Management
Authority to discuss and agree on the licensing and management of water supply in the
county to avoid over exploitation of the water surface.
 The county government should move with speed to actualize the Monitoring and
Evaluation (M&E) function and develop measurable indicators to track performance. A
county-wide M&E framework should be developed, cascaded and customized to meet
each departments’ need.
 Meru County Government should invest in succession planning to avoid interrupted
service delivery and ensure the retention of institutional memory and skills transfer.
Recruitment and replacement of retiring staff in the Cooperative sector should be given
priority.

3.2.12 Water & Irrigation

The Department of Water and Irrigation core mandate is the provision of domestic and irrigation
water to households and community water points in towns and rural areas. The department
supplies safe and enough quantities of water to areas where there is a service provider. In rural
areas, there are various community based water supply projects that complement the services
provided by main stream water service providers.
The County has eleven permanent rivers with the major ones being the Kathita River, a
tributary of River Tana. These form the major sources of water for domestic use and irrigation.
The County has three major water service providers but discussions on restructuring and merging
the providers is currently on going;-
 MEWASS operating in Meru town and its environs.

 IMETHAWASCO operating in the rural areas and other towns.
 DOMWASS operating various schemes in the county rural areas.

implementation of this plan will cost approximately KES.12.0 Billion as summarized on Table 29
and 30. It is anticipated that about Ksh5.5 Billion of these resources will be realized through Public
Private Partnerships, Development partners, donors and other partners including the National
Government, bilateral agencies and the Private sector. To this extent, various memorandums of
understanding have been entered between the County Government Agencies and respective
organizations.

The agencies and departments plan to implement flagship projects of about Ksh.2.5Billion with the largest
chunk going to other projects valued at Ksh.8.6 Billion.
4.3 Financial and Economic Environment

The major economic constraints facing the county includes: Poor Infrastructure, Poor Marketing
Systems, changes in Weather Patterns, High Unemployment and Poverty Rate and Reduced
earnings from Miraa.
A stable macroeconomic environment will be a huge incentive to the continued economic growth
of the county. This Planning Framework aims at striking an appropriate balance between
stimulating economic growth at the County and a balanced fiscal policy. It stresses prudent fiscal
policy to reinforce County Government’s commitment to responsible financial management
practices.
The Public Finance Management Act, 2012 sets a minimum of thirty percent (30%) of total
expenditure as the budget which should be set aside for development expenditure in the medium
term. The county previously operated at 35% on the development expenditure.
The need for improved service delivery and implementation of development programmes results
in increased expenditure demands which requires a corresponding increase in revenue base. The
county through the Meru County Revenue Board plans to meet this by strengthening of the
revenue management system through automation to reduce pilferage, widening of revenue
base, and applying reasonable revenue rates. It is therefore imperative to continue reforming
and modernizing the revenue regimes to ensure stability of revenue effort, while at the same
time continuing to restructure expenditure systems to ensure efficiency and create fiscal space
required to fund priority programmes on sustainable basis. There is also need to refocus
expenditure from recurrent to development so as to create fiscal space, which is important for
infrastructure development, where large gaps already remain.
The limited resource basket will require developing a priority list of programmes and projects to
be implemented within the available resource envelop. This should be followed by mechanisms
to ensure strict adherence to the plan and delivery of the same. There is also need for investment
74
in key capital projects that have a potential to improve revenue generation in the medium term
as well as create employment in the county.
Establishing and reviewing legal provisions such as the Finance Act & Revenue Administration
Act, including a robust taxation policy to support revenue collection, identifying new revenue
streams, conducting regular/timely revenue assessment to give trends and review targets in
revenue collection, training of revenue staff to enhance their capacity are among are the key
interventions that the county will focus on. The County Government should also continue to
exploit areas that leverage the private sector generate the much-anticipated wealth and
employment opportunities through the innovative financing , trade between counties especially
the economic blocks will go a long way in funding the gap.
In conclusion direct investment, great governance aimed at curbing corruption, a strict financial
system that promotes savings, external debt reduction and public finance management through
improved audits, and simplified filling system will all go a long way in securing funds so as
reduce the funding gap in the ADP 2018/2019
4.4 Grants and revenue expectations in 2018/2019FY

During the 2018/2019 financial year, the county government will expect to receive grants and
revenue to the tune of KES . 10,260,327,505.00 with breakdown as below:

CHAPTER FIVE: MONITORING AND EVALUATION
5.1 Introduction
This chapter presents the monitoring and evaluation framework that will be used to track
progress on implementation of programmes and projects at the county level. This will be
conducted through Meru County Integrated Monitoring and Evaluation System (CIMES) whose
main aim is to improve the effectiveness in tracking the implementation of various development
policies, strategies and programmes. To ensure that there is a clear way of measuring
performance; Meru County will develop a Performance Management Plan that will see that all
commitments made in the ADP are translated into performance contracts with public officers in
the county.
5.2 Institutional framework to be adopted in monitoring the programmes

Monitoring and Evaluation framework will be managed at the departmental level and
coordinated by the Economic Planning and the Efficiency Monitoring and Evaluation units. The
CIMES guidelines and structures will be followed in M&E at the County level. The public and
implementing agencies will be engaged through these structures in monitoring and evaluating
the implementation of the CIDP.
Evaluation will be conducted with project improvement and policy enlightenment hence acting
as “decision-oriented” evaluation. This will provide valuable insights into how the project is
operating, the extent to which it is serving the intended beneficiaries, its strengths and
weaknesses, its cost – effectiveness and potentially productive directions for the future. This
evaluation will also provide the information for decision – thus helping to set priorities, guides
the allocation – of resources, facilities the modification and refinement of project structures and
activities; and signal the need for additional personnel & resources. Finally, it is also intended
to determine a change of course for a project. Actual results of development projects shall be
measured in relation to the planned outcomes.
All projects will have a component on monitoring and evaluation right from the initial stages.
Project planning accountability will entail an effort to meet the diverse information interests
and expectations of all those who have a stake in a project – e.g. beneficiaries, managers, staff,
donors, public at large.
The county will undertake two types of evaluations for various projects namely mid-term and
end of project evaluations: Mid-term will be undertaken to review progress and propose
alterations to project design during the remaining period of implementation while end of
project evaluation will be conducted at the completion of the project period. The specific types
and timing of evaluations for various projects will be determined at the design and planning
stage of each project. The matrix for implementation, monitoring and evaluation is detailed in
77
each of the sector sub programmes in chapter 6. The matrix details the names of sub
programmes, costs, timeframes, monitoring indicators, monitoring tools, implementing
agencies, source of funds and implementation status for the various sectors. For effectiveness,
participatory methods and tools will be used throughout the project stages from design to
evaluation. Monitoring will entail continuous collection of data, collation and analysis of data
for decision and for use in subsequent evaluation events.
