CHAPTER ONE: INTRODUCTION, COUNTY STATISTICS AND METHODOLOGY

1.1 Introduction

1.1.1 Importance of Monitoring & Evaluation (M&E)?

The main purpose of monitoring in any organization is: To learn from experiences to improve

practices and activities in the future; to have internal and external accountability of the resources

used and the results obtained; to take informed decisions on the future of the initiative; to

promote empowerment of beneficiaries of the initiative. Monitoring is a periodically recurring

task already beginning in the planning stage of a project or programme. It allows results,

processes and experiences to be documented and used as a basis to steer decision-making and

learning processes. Monitoring is checking progress against plans. The data acquired through

monitoring is used for evaluation.

Evaluation on the other hand is used to appraise data and information that inform strategic

decisions, thus improving the project or programme in the future. Evaluation should help to draw

conclusions about five main aspects of the intervention: Relevance, Effectiveness, Efficiency,

Impact, and Sustainability.

The day to day importance of Monitoring and Evaluation include:

it provides the only consolidated source of information showcasing project progress;

it allows actors to learn from each other’s experiences, building on expertise and

knowledge;

it often generates reports that contribute to transparency and accountability, and allows

for lessons to be shared more easily;

it reveals mistakes and offers paths for learning and improvements;

it provides a basis for questioning and testing assumptions;

it provides a means for agencies seeking to learn from their experiences and to

incorporate them into policy and practice;

it provides a way to assess the crucial link between implementers and beneficiaries on the

ground and decision-makers;

it adds to the retention and development of institutional memory;


It provides a more robust basis for raising funds and influencing policy.

1.1.2 Statutory Requirements

Below is an excerpt from the county government act of 2012; Article 47 of the act provides for

the executive to report on performance of specific and general county government functions

47. Performance management plan

(1) The county executive committee shall design a performance management

Plan to evaluate performance of the county public service and the implementation of county

policies.

(2) The plan shall provide for among others—

(a) Objective, measurable and time bound performance indicators;

(b) Linkage to mandates;

(c) Annual performance reports;

(d) Citizen participation in the evaluation of the performance of county

Government; and

(e) Public sharing of performance progress reports.

(3) The governor shall submit the annual performance reports of the county Executive committee

and public service to the county assembly for consideration.

(4) The performance management plan and reports under this section shall be public documents.

This report seeks to fulfill the part requiring regular reporting on the performance by the

executive and at the same time serve as a source of information for stakeholders and general

public on the programmes and projects implemented by the county government and their impact

on citizenry.


1.1.3 Scope of the report:

This report is majorly an evaluation and impact report for county government projects only; most

of the programmes and projects sampled are complete and mostly in use. This report seeks to

analyse or interpret collected data to establish the relationships between the results of the

project/programme, the effects produced by the project/programme and the overall impact of the

project/programme. The report covers two hundred seventy six sampled projects in twenty seven

out of the thirty wards in the county. The data used comprises both primary and secondary data.

Secondary data was collected from county departments before the field visits while the primary

data was collected through field visits carried out between the month of August and September

2014.

1.2.5 County Government structure and development funding FY 2013/14

Wajir county government has department namely: Finance and economic planning; Agriculture,

Livestock and Livestock Development; Public works Roads and Transport department; Trade,

Industrialization, Co-Operative Development; Public Health, Medical Services and Sanitation;

Education, Youth, Gender and Social Services; Water Resources Development, Energy,

Environment and Natural Resources; Lands, Housing and Physical Planning; Information

Communication and E-Government; County Executive; Public Service, Special Programs

Decentralized Units and Town administration.

The county government allocated Ksh 3.43 billion for development in FY2013/14 distributed as

follows: Executive Ksh 63 million; Information Communication and E-Government Ksh 150

million; Water, Energy, Environment and Natural Resources Ksh 658 million; Agriculture,

Livestock and Livestock Development Ksh 408 million; Education, Youth, Gender and Social

Services Ksh 89.6 million; Public Health, Medical Services and Sanitation Ksh 310 million;

Public works Roads and Transport department Ksh 1.445 billion; Lands, Housing and Physical

Planning Ksh 100 million; Trade, Industrialization, Co-Operative Development 205 million.


The projects visited were funded by the above highlighted funds which was the first full year

after county government was put in place following March 2013 general elections. Therefore it

should be noted that most of the departments were not working optimally as setting up of some

vital structures was ongoing.

1.3 Methodology

Methodology is the systematic, theoretical analysis of the methods applied to a field of study. It

comprises the theoretical analysis of the body of methods and principles associated with a branch

of knowledge. Typically, it encompasses concepts such as paradigm, theoretical model, phases

and quantitative or qualitative techniques.

For the purposes of getting in-depth analysis of the impact of the various projects undertaken by

the county: the M&E team used various methods to gather the information & data required to

generate the report and analyzing the data to generate this report. The methods listed and briefly

explained below were used:

Stratified sampling was used in identifying the projects. All 30 wards in the county would be

visited; at least one Administrative location which in all cases are settlement centers would be

visited and gather information on all projects within the center across all the departments in the

county

Semi-Structured Interviews was the primary method used in data generation. This method helped

to gain information face to face from a small group, using a series of broad questions to guide the

conversations, but allowing for new questions to arise as a result of the discussion. Annex I gives

the lead questions used in this case

Direct observation was also used by the team. Most of the projects sampled were also observed

directly to obtain useful and timely information by observing what people do, to help make

decisions on improving projects. This method is critical to complement collected data, can be

used to understand the context in which information is collected and can help explain results.


Microsoft excel has been used in the simple analysis done on the data to report the findings in

chapter 2.


CHAPTER 2: FINDINGS

This chapter reports the findings after the analysis of the data collected on the projects visited. A

total of 276 projects discussed with the community in 30 locations spread across the county.

Annex II gives the various locations visited and the number of projects in each location with the

general responses from the community. Each of the questions is analyzed separately and the

findings below were derived.

2.1 Community awareness

Is the community aware of the projects done by the various agencies; and could they list the

projects done by the county government.

Majority of those interviewed, close to a 100% of the respondents’ are on the affirmative there

was only one case in Buna where the respondents were not sure of the source of funds for a road

project. The community well aware of the various departmental activities and could confidently

enumerate the projects and programmes funded by the county government.

Is the community aware of the projects done by the various agencies; and could

they list the projects done by the county government.

2.2 Community participation

Is the community involved/consulted in project identification and implementation?

The pie chart below shows that only 34% of the respondents felt that they had been

adequately involved in the identification and implementation. 66% of the respondents feel

that they were not involved or consulted in the projects.

Question Is the community consulted/involved in project

identification and implementation

Response Yes No total

Absolute 93 183 276

Ratio 0.336957 0.663043 1


2.3 Projects and community needs

Does the project solve an existing problem or meet a community need?

The pie chart shows that 91% of the respondents feel that the projects done meet needs or

solve existing problems of the community. Only 9% of the projects did not meet any needs

of the society; it therefore shows that even where consultations was not done majority of the

projects met some existing need in the community. Appendix II gives a summary of the

responses on this question.

Does the project solve the problem that existed/Meet community needs

Response Yes No Total

Ratio 0.90942 0.09058 1


2.4 Employment creation

Did the Project / Programme create local employment?

95% of the projects generated only casual labour and in some cases supply of local raw

material like water, hardcore and ballast: the main contractors were outsiders according to

the respondents mainly people residing in Wajir town. Only 5% of the contracts were

awarded to the local people.

Observation:

Most of the respondents are unhappy with most of the contracts going to those

based in Wajir town.

It also came out that most of the building works are subcontracted to non Wajir

natives; these subcontractors come with all laborers further locking out the locals.

Some respondents indicated that local labour could be more expensive than the

outsourced labour thus complicating the possibility of using the local labour by

the subcontractors.

Does it create local employment

Response Just Casual Local contractor Total

2.5 Project Sustainability

Is the project Sustainable?

Most of the projects discussed are social projects; thereby the social need is considered to

supersede the commercial sustainability of the projects. However, the M&E team identified three

projects of commercial nature and tried to establish the sustainability of the projects. These

projects include: Hay stores; Fresh produce markets and Community centers and are analyzed

separately below and the reasons from the respondents listed in a table.

a) Is the Fresh produce market sustainable?

Project

Sustainable Not

Sustainable

Not sure Reason given

Arbajahan √ - - Large catchment area with farmers

ENNDA putting up an irrigation

scheme at Kara for fruits and vegetable

production

Strategically situated hence cannot be

affected by floods

Buna - √ - Unsuitable design


No interest from the target group yet

Eldas - - √ There are farmers around

Not very happy with market design

Makaror √ - - Situated strategically approx. 2km

from Griftu stage market

The population is large in the

catchment area

Township √ - - Large population in catchment

Hodhan - - √ Unsuitable site

Hadado - - √ Not in use yet and modalities of use

not known though the traders have

reserved space

Korofaharar - √ - Unsuitable Design of the market

Traders using it to sell clothes and

cereals; not fresh produce

Tarbaj - √ - Unsuitable Design of structure

Badly situated

Habaswein - - √ Unsuitable design

11%

Fresh produce markets sustainability

Yes No Not sure

67% of the respondents think that the fresh produce markets are not sustainable; the most

common reason given is that the design of the structure is unsuitable for most places. The table

above lists all the reasons given by the respondents. 11% of the respondents feel that they are not

sure if the markets are sustainable; for example Habaswein respondents felt that the market could

be useful in the long term but there was no interest from traders at that moment the reason being

unsuitable market design. Only 22% of the respondents felt that the markets are very important

and useful to the community. The only location outside of the wajir town comfortable and happy

with the market is Arbajahan where the residents indicated that crop production is quite popular

in the location and the larger catchment area. Kara was said to be in the process of receiving an

irrigation project from ENNDA.

b) Hay Stores

Project location sustainable Not

Sustainable

Not sure Reason given

Griftu √ Community don’t understand

how it will be working

Buna √ Community don’t understand

how it will be working

Eldas √ Community not trained and

equipped for pasture harvesting

Korof Harar √ Community trained on hay

harvesting


Hay stores sustainability

Response Yes Not Sure No Total

Absolute 1 1 2 4

Ratio 0.25 0.25 0.5 1

As indicated above in the pie chart; two locations (50% ) of the respondents feel that the hay

stores are not sustainable. Reasons sited for the unsustainability are listed in the table above

which include poor deisgns and luck of understanding on how the stores are supposed to operate.

Eldas location (25%) feel that the store is sustainable if they are trained on hay harvesting and

get equipment for the same. Only Khorof Harar (25%) believe they have adequate traing to make

use of the stores; however in the short run they expect to get supplies from the relevant

department.


c) Community Centres

The community had very scanty information on the details of the project. Griftu respondents felt

that the location of the project was unsuitable – too far from the people. The other respondents

did not have adequate information on how the project will be run and therefore could not respond

on the sustainability.

Observation: it was observed that the identification, design and implementatuion of this

programme did not involve the communities in all the location the project is being implemented.


CHAPTER 3: SUCCESS STORIES

During the financial year 2013/14 the county embarked on high priority and community focused

programmes and projects. These were focused on bringing services closer to the people, reducing

kilometers travelled to the nearest water point, improving maternal and child healthcare,

improving county infrastructure, creating conducive business environment, improving learning

conditions in ECD and polytechnics and value addition in Agriculture and Livestock products.

These were attained through implementation of diversified projects by the departments as

follows:

3.1 Roads, Transport and Public Works

The tarmacking of 25 kilometres Wajir town roads is one of the county’s flagship projects and

with the contractors on site, the project once completed will change the face of county’s biggest

town and business hub. The department spearheaded graveling of 204.7 kilometres, grading of

970.8 kilometres and bush clearing of 1276.40 kilometres which has helped in opening up most

of the settlements as well as ensured the major roads are motorable throughout the seasons. In

addition Public Works division supervised the construction of the on-going county headquarters

offices and county assembly offices, six sub-county offices, 30 ward administration offices and

all other county works to ensure only quality structures were constructed. Picture below show

some of the developments in the county.

Figure 1: Ongoing Tarmacking at Wajir town roads


Figure 2: Well graded and graveled roads at Korondille

3.2 Water Resources Development

In order to provide water for domestic and livestock use and reduce the distance to the water

points, 53 boreholes were drilled, 18 water pans constructed , 10 water pans desilted, 25 water

tanks constructed and 179 water sources operationalised and maintained throughout the year.

This has led to easier access to water for the county residents and reduced the distance covered to

the nearest water point from 30 km in the start of 2013 to approximately 20 in 2014. Below are

some of the water projects.

3.3 Energy, Environment and Natural Resources

The department aims at providing alternative energy sources, improving security through street

lighting and preserving environment and natural resources through investment in solar power,

biogas and wind power as well as preserving the existing forests and afforestation. The

department installed solar street lights in six market centres one location per sub-county,


installed 13 floodlights in strategic locations in Wajir town, constructed six sand dams in Gurar,

Established Indigenous trees Nursery in Wajir town, Established Wind break at Arbajahan

primary school and issued tree seedlings to community, purchased and supplied tree seedlings in

seven primary schools, and carried out sensitization trainings on environmental conservation &

management in six locations. Below is a model solar light.

Figure 7: Installed solar light at Griftu

3.4 Public Health, Medical Services and Sanitation

The County Government goal is to provide quality healthcare for all its residents as well as

promote maternal health care, improve sanitation status. In order to achieve this, the department

procured eight ambulances and medical equipment worth Ksh 38.84 million; Constructed and

operationalised 30 Maternity wards, completed construction of maternity ward in Habaswein,

constructed 12 new dispensaries, renovated 23 facilities, constructed 44 HH ecosan toilets,

constructed 80 VIP rural ward latrines and eight septic toilets. This has led to improved access to

healthcare services; improved cases of deliveries attended by health professionals as well as

reduced the distance to nearest health facility. In addition the department has plans to


operationalise Wajir Medical Training College. Below are some completed projects in the

county.

Figure 6: Maternity ward at malkagulfu

3.5 Education, Youth, Gender and Social Services

Quality Early Childhood Education is vital for setting strong foundation for the county children

hence the county government is focused to create conducive learning environment at this level.

In addition there is great focus on youth polytechnics as well as youth sports in order to give the


youth a platform to develop skills and talents. Therefore the department embarked on

construction of ECD model classes in Wajir town and 27 other classrooms across the county,

construction of workshops for three youth polytechnics and procured sewing machines for the

youth polytechnics. In addition several football tournaments and marathon events were organised

and selected teams participated in the national competitions. Below are some selected projects

implemented by the department.

3.6 Agriculture, Livestock and Livestock Development

The county focus is to build resilience to the livestock farmers, value addition for agriculture and

livestock products, control diseases and establish irrigation systems to reduce reliance on rain fed

farming. In order to attain these, the department constructed 5 water harvesting structures,

allocated Ksh 135 million for completion of modern Livestock slaughter house, provided

irrigation infrastructure to 12 locations, Purchased agricultural Farm Mechanization Equipment

(3 tractors,3 trailer Tanks, 2 disk ploughs & 1 harrow ), purchased 16 motorcycles for frontline

extension officers, Purchased one Mitsubishi Fuzo motor vehicle, Facilitated Vaccination and

Mass treatments in all sub-counties, constructed one Modern Livestock market in Eldas,

constructed seven hay shade, Purchased bales of hay for distribution to the shades,

Figure 12: Traders sell products in newly completed fresh produce at Khorof Harar

3.8 Lands, Housing and Physical Planning

The county government focus if to undertake develop physical plans for all major towns and

market centres, undertake spatial planning for the whole county, and introduce low cost building

technologies and proper management of government houses. The department has started

Planning and Surveying of Wajir Town, initiated Planning (Aerial Photography) of seven

centres, and development of seven other towns is on-going, introduced Appropriate Building

Technology programme in four locations, Renovated Government Houses in Wajir town,

3.9 Public Service, Labor and Decentralized Unit

The county government endeavors to bring its services to the people. In order to do this, the

department established 6 sub-county and 30 ward administration offices. In addition, recruitment

of Sub-county Administrators, Deputy Sub-county Administrators and ward administrators was

carried out for easy administration and implementation of the county functions. Below are some

of the projects in the county:


Figure 13: Sub-County Administration offices in Griftu and Bute

3.10 Information Communication and E-Government

The department strives to ensure the county is technologically up to date through connecting

county offices with internet, maintaining and updating county website, supporting and equipping

the county offices with computer equipment, liaising with mobile service providers in expansion

of network coverage; ensuring easy access to information by county residents and ensuring

public participation in all activities of the government. The department Constructed 6 community

centres, Constructed Citizen Service Centre in Wajir, Constructed a Radio station in Wajir town,

Constructed 3 Baraza parks, bought ICT equipment and connected all the offices with internet.

Figure 12: Ongoing construction at Citizen Service Centre in Wajir town


CHAPTER 4: RECOMMENDATIONS AND WAY FORWARD

3.1 Recommendations

1. It is evident from the summary of projects in Annex II that the county government has used the

ward as a unit of resource allocation. 27 wards were visited, leaving out only 3, and projects are

reported in all the locations in these 27 wards.

To further bolster this step, it is recommeneded that the wards and sub counties should also serve

as the units of resource application. This will boost economic activities within the wards and

ensure project sustainability by investing income generated from the projects within the local

economies. To borrow from the National Government; the following threshholds could be useful

in making the decisions.

Up to kshs 2,500,000 – the projects should be awarded at the ward level. Technical personnel

can operate from sub-county level but still serve wards within the sub-county adequately.

Kshs 2,500,001 – kshs 5,000,000 – the projects should be awarded within the sub-county;

technical teams from the county headquaters can offer technical assistance in projects that are

complex in nature but fall within this threshhold.

Over kshs 5,000,000 – the projects be handled centrally at the county level. Considering the

complexity of the projects within this threshhold.

The implementation of this proposal is expected to encourage enterpreneurship in the wards and

provide opportunities such as job opportunities. The economy will also be spured especially

considering that the governmnent is the largest consumer of skills, goods and services in the

county.

2. There is an assumption of homogeneity in type and intensity of needs across the county; this

assumption may work for social programmes in Health and Education. However, for the

productive sectors like Agriculture, livestock, trade and industry; there is need to have technical

teams at the sub-county level to design and execute programmes that are responsive to needs of

the community and facilitate more efficient and effective projects and programmes. It is as a


result of this assumption that there are same design fresh produce markets and community

centres attempting to adress divergent problems in the locations sampled in this report. This

recommendation will also serve to consolidate the sub-counties and wards as units of resource

application. Projects designed to directly respond to specific community needs are expected to be

more sustainable.

3. 66% of the communities interviewed said they were not involved in project identification or

implementation; in order to adequately and effectively involve the community, we recommend

the use of existing structures. For institituions like schools and health facilities they have

managemnet boards/committees, it is imperative to involve these boards in the project

identification and implementation; a good example is a case in hadado where a contrator went

to a primary school for renovation of three classrooms without involving the head teacher or the

SMC even in identifying the three classrooms for renovation. Where there are no structures in

place, lean project management committeess can be apointed with assistance of the ward

administrators to serve as the link between the beneficiary community, the contractor and county

officials. This will not only significantly improve the quality of projects but also allow minor

adjustments to designs during implementation of the project to accommodate the dynamic needs

of society. Project ownership will aso be achieved and enhance sustainability.

4. There is a 20% failure rate in the completed boreholes drilled; moving forward, this rate might

increase as the water department ventures to more areas with bad history of ground water. It is

recommended that for areas with possibility of ground water; the hydrological survey and

drilling be awarded to the same contractor to allow for the authorities to hold them accountable

in the cases of failure. This model was used in the Wajir South CDF 2012 and eliminated cases

of dry boreholes even in places where water had never been struck.

Where there are no chances of ground water, mega dams are recommeneded which can serve a

wider cathcment through distribution system. A good case is Bute region with very high

potential of mega dams as well as Korondile which can then serve the entire sub-county through

distribution and reservoir systems. For the long term solution; it is recommneded that a

comprehensive water survey be carried out and a long term plan developed based on survey

results to give a road map to sustainable water supply solution to the county.


5. Incoporate Monitoring and Evaluation from early stages of project implementation: M&E should

be incooperated from project identification stage to allow for application of M&E tools including

cost benefit analysis in order to determine effectiveness, efficiency and sustainability of projects

and programmes. It is also expected that this early stage M&E will allow for customisation of

project/programme design to more effectively address the diverse needs of the community in

different areas as stated in 2 above.

6. Strengthen systems and structures for monitoring social indicators: it has been almost impossible

to effectively monitor social indicators in the county due to lack of accurate, timely and

verifiable data on social indicators like distance to health facility, water; transition rates in

education among others. The county team shall build an effective database of the social statistics

that can then be updated timely through sub county DPUs either through technical heads forums

or through visits to facilities by the sub-county teams. There is therefore need to strengthen the

sub-county DPUs for this purpose.

7. It should be noted that the Monitoring and Evaluation exercise covered only county Government

projects. The National Government projects including CDF projects were not covered as well as

the local partners projects. Going forward therefore, there is need to establish a system whereby

all projects in the county can be subjected to M&E. There is need for all development actors to

come together and ensure they work together from project identification, funding and

implementation. A County Development Committee and County Monitoring and Evaluation

Committee including all these development players should be formed going forward which will

enhance project quality and avoid duplication of efforts in project implementation.


3.2 Way forward

Implementation of the recommendations above will increase the impact of the projects

implemented by the county government. This will especially be achieved since the

recommendations are aimed at ensuring that all projects done are immediately put into use.

There is a significant number of projects that can potentially be white elephants if they are not

operationalised urgently. Progressive implementation of the recommendations and continous

adoption of best practices is the solution to achieving the best results from resources the county

governmnet intends to invest over time.

All the development actors should join hands with the county government to ensure all inclusive

development and growth of the county. In this respect, all the actors should share their plans and

projects with the county government in order to avoid duplication of efforts in delivering service

to the county residents.
