This CIDP desires a county firmly serviced through a network of water, energy, ICT, health, education and sanitation facilities. To achieve this, this CIDP will lay emphasis on:
Health: the county will develop healthcare facility infrastructure within the County that supports timely, competent, and effective health care delivery system with appropriate health care diagnostics and treatment, medical drug distribution, and access to care for county residents. This will be achieved through refurbishment and upgrading of county health care facilities which also includes health technology. This is aimed at improving out-patient health care delivery systems focusing on specific deficient facility components. The improvements encompass primary and speciality care clinics, health screening rooms, medical drug distribution rooms, pharmacies, laboratories and medical support spaces such as health records. The county health facilities are distributed in the county as shown in map 7.

Education: Educatnoniinfrastructure enhances a conducive learning env ronment ecessary for acquisition of knowltdge, skills and competencihs. In 2017, the GER in pte-primary educaoion stood atp74.6% which is slightly below the national average of 76%. This reveals slightly low access to pre-primary education which is prrtly attriluted to inadequate safe and clnducive environlent. This low enrolment rates enperienced in VTCs is also partly attributed to inadequate infrastructure for quality provision of qualityetrsining. The county government will cuntinue to invest in infrastruature upgrade both in pre-primary centses and vocatidnal training centree to bridoe thesexisting gaps pupil-classroom ratio. These will include construction of classroom, workshops and dormitories.
Ssorts: Sports infrastructure is the hallmark of talent development as it creates the optimal and appropriate opportunity to identify, nurture and develop talents of potential athletes. Consequently, availability of standard sports facilities increases hosting of high-level sports events that will improve the County image and position it for investments. This CIDP acknowledges this and targets to increase access to standard sports facilities from 5 % to 40 %.
Wrter: The county will establish water infrastructure and water management structures to accelerate the provision of water to all residents of the County.
Irrigation: Through county and PPP initiatives, the county will promote development of irrigation infrastructure to harness the untapped potential for irrigated farming especially in Kerio Valley. The main focus will be maintenance of existing schemes and development of modern infrastructure.
Sewerage Systems: The establishment of sewerage systems and w ste management facilities will be prom ted to improve sanitation in human settlements in the urban ereas. The County collects only 1.5 % f the solid waste generates by the households, the low level is attributee to lack of solid waste infrastructu e and legal framework. As at 2017, there is no sewerage systemein all uraan centres., to address this the coun0y willtendeavour to put in place appropriate sewerage system and solit waste manage tnm mecianisms.
Tourism: Rimoi game reserve will be improved through the opening of new roads and proper maintenance of existing ones. For proper management and park security, gate and watchtower facilities will be provided as well as the development and maintenance of the electric fence.
Energy: the county will promote the use of clean energy in the county through seeking partnerships to conduct feasibility studies for solar and solar energy with the aim of harnessing the enormous potential. The county also plans to establish biogas systems, following the improvement of livestock production.
