The county’s economic growth relies on agriculture and agricultural activities are rain-fed. Unfavorable climatic conditions such as those experienced in 2017, therefore will have adverse effects on growth prospects. All the three ecological zones depend on rainfall, and the zones have varied levels of socio-economic developments and resource endowments. A review of these zones shows that for the overall socio-economic development to be realized, there is need to invest in improvement of quality education at all levels and improving road network and power supply. There’s need to continue intensifying irrigation in the Kerio Valley, eradicating alcoholism and drunkennessand adding value to agricultural products. Another strategic intervention is revamping of Rimoigame reserve in efforts to set the county apart as a tourism destination site in the region.
