Second Policy And Criteria For Sharing Revenue Among Marginalised Areas
This policy recommends the fostering of partnerships through matching funds, where appropriate, along with the involvement of county governments, local administration and beneficiary communities in the selection and implementation of projects, among other recommendations. It is the hope of the Commission that the implementation of this second policy will improve access to basic services for the bottom 20 percent and that no Kenyan will be left behind. Guided by the provisions of Article 204, this second policy used indicators on access to education, water, sanitation and electricity to construct an index of deprivation. This index is used to rank 7,131 sub-locations from the lagging areas to the most prosperous. A total of 1,424 sub-locations, the bottom 20 percent where about 5 million Kenyans live, have been identified for funding from the Equalisation Fund. The policy also identifies four marginalised minority communities that need to be targeted for service provision, namely; Elmolo, Makonde, Watta and Dorobo-Saleita. The policy has formulated an index for sharing the funds among the 1424 sub locations.
