Local Economic Development (LED) household income areas supported under the refocused LRDP program since inception
- Mini irrigation schemes to provide water for production
- Poultry hatchery establishment
- Value addition for maize value chain with milling machines
- Value addition for coffee value chain with pulping and hulling machines
- Supply of heifers to pastoralist communities
- Fish fry production and multiplication
- Construction of storage facilities for maize & coffee
- Valley dam construction for pastoralist communities
Challenges in Implementation of LRDP
- Inadequate transport to enhance monitoring and supervision of projects
- Lack of clear policy on public private partnerships limits the participation and engagement of organized private sector players in household income projects. This limits the scale of projects which could have otherwise promoted mini industry development
Recommendations
- Government should issue clear guidelines and policy on public private partnerships
- The programme should provide a motor vehicle for the district LRDP team to effectively monitor, document and supervise LRDP projects.
