Rift Valley county plans

A proposed programme for fourteen counties, connecting family support, healthcare, safe water and resilient livelihoods.

Planning edition 11 · 17 October 2026 · Founder: Dr. Mark Kenani Nyakweba

People first · Two distinct phases

Phase One: Beneficiary enrolment and community-based interventions

Our first priority is to identify, enrol and assess eligible beneficiaries, then organise the interventions they need in their existing communities. This includes children, older people, people with disabilities, caregivers and other vulnerable groups. Support is intended through county teams, existing services and authorised partners, outside Braveland. Beneficiaries do not need to move to a city or wait for Braveland construction to receive approved support.

Enrolment and service delivery have not opened. They begin only after government certification and the relevant staffing, safeguarding, service agreements and funding are ready.

Phase Two: Braveland — a future development concept

Braveland is a separate future project, not the regional programme itself and not a condition for Phase One support. A possible location will be selected within each region after feasibility, community consultation, land checks, funding and approvals. Any corridor or place mentioned is a comparison suggestion only; no regional site has been selected. There is no announced construction or opening date.

Technology hubs, innovation and cleaner energy

Braveland and technology hubs form one connected development concept. Community learning can begin through suitable existing partner spaces when certification, funding, staffing and agreements are ready; it does not need to wait for city construction.

Learning and enterprise

  • Accessible digital literacy and online safety
  • AI literacy, responsible use and practical enterprise tools
  • Design, CAD, modelling and supervised prototyping
  • Innovation labs, repair skills and product development
  • Creative enterprise, artisan value addition and routes to market

Resources required

  • Accessible learning space, internet and reliable power
  • Computers, assistive technology and appropriately licensed software
  • Qualified trainers, a hub coordinator and safeguarding support
  • Supervised workshop equipment, maintenance and safety arrangements

The Founder’s office coordinates budgets, procurement and resource delivery. Regional teams define needs, organise delivery and report results.

Solar, wind and fuel reduction

Assess energy efficiency first, then compare solar PV, storage, measured wind potential and an appropriately sized reliable backup. Select the lowest credible whole-life cost for the required service reliability, including maintenance, replacement, finance and environmental effects.

Solar is a candidate for daytime learning and workshop loads. Wind requires measurements at the actual proposed site; a successful wind farm elsewhere does not establish a viable resource at a Norisha site. Critical services must retain a tested continuity plan. Compare battery lifecycle, recycling, land use and environmental effects as well as fuel avoided.

How we will test savings

Illustration only — assumed inputs, not a supplier quotation, current fuel price or Norisha savings forecast.

For a hypothetical hub using 50 kWh each day (18,250 kWh per year), assume solar replaces 14,600 kWh of diesel generation. Test assumptions: 0.35 litres per kWh; KES 180 per litre; baseline maintenance KES 8 per kWh; solar maintenance KES 60,000 per year; installed capital KES 2,400,000.

Avoided diesel generation cost
KES 71 per kWh
Illustrative annual operating saving
KES 976,600
Illustrative simple payback
2.5 years

Simple payback excludes financing, taxes, degradation, battery/inverter replacement and end-of-life costs. A site-specific whole-life comparison must include these before investment. No wind saving is quoted without a measured resource and system design.

What we will report

  • Learners enrolled and completing training
  • Accessible learning places and participation
  • Prototypes tested and enterprise support outcomes
  • Metered energy supplied, backup-fuel use and uptime
  • Verified KES operating savings against a comparable baseline

Planning status: proposed. City facilities remain Phase Two. No site, installer, partner, equipment purchase or savings guarantee is announced. Relevant professional design, licensing, safety and environmental requirements must be checked before implementation.

From assessed need to confirmed support

Phase One centres on children, orphans and other vulnerable people receiving appropriate support in their communities, including family strengthening and rehabilitation referrals. Braveland construction is not a prerequisite.

  1. 1. Identify the need

    A person, family or registered helper requests support. Assess needs with consent, accessibility and safeguarding; children are supported through safe family care and appropriate statutory referrals.

  2. 2. Agree the intervention

    Record the assessed need, agreed assistance, responsible officer and review date. Include education, healthcare referral, family support, rehabilitation, assistive access or livelihoods as appropriate.

  3. 3. Confirm where support will come from

    Identify a suitable school, rehabilitation service, licensed health provider, community partner or approved supplier. Confirm suitability, capacity, permissions, funding and an accessible appointment or delivery arrangement.

  4. 4. Track the referral or delivery

    Link a private case reference to a service referral or item dispatch reference. Record the authorised source, intended recipient or service destination, responsible person, dates and status. The Founder’s Office arranges logistics; restricted records protect addresses and personal information.

  5. 5. Confirm receipt and follow up

    Verify that the intended person received the item or attended the service. Record receipt or provider confirmation, unresolved barriers and the next review. Escalate missed, delayed or unsuitable support and check the outcome before closing or revising the plan.

This describes the intended workflow, not an active enrolment or tracking service. Public reporting will show aggregate progress only; names, case records, medical information and delivery addresses remain restricted. Opening requires certification and operational readiness.

14 counties

Every county in the former Rift Valley area

6 programme streams

A common structure, adapted to local conditions

Two-year framework

Dates begin only after authorised commencement

Start with the conditions on the ground

The official October 2026 outlook anticipates generally near- to above-average rain across Rift Valley, with above-average rain in Kajiado and parts of Laikipia, Nakuru and Narok. It also identifies heavy-rain hazards. We therefore propose both dry-season resilience and flood-safe water, roads, stores and referral arrangements. This dated outlook does not establish that a particular village is currently flooded or in drought.

This first desktop edition identifies candidate assessment areas. It is not an exhaustive ward survey. The next register must reconcile every county’s current subcounties, wards and settlements, existing services and planned public investments. Mandera is outside this regional scope and belongs to the North Eastern plan.

People first, across every county

Support should follow assessed need and informed participation, without discrimination by faith, ethnicity, politics or ability to pay. Each household can need more than one service; overlapping categories must not be counted as separate people.

  • Orphans and other vulnerable children, with safe family care
  • Single parents, widows, widowers and caregivers
  • Older people and grandparent-headed households
  • People with disabilities and their caregivers
  • Expectant mothers, newborns and young children
  • People with chronic illness and families facing intensive care or bereavement
  • Women and girls facing exclusion or violence
  • Unemployed youth, graduates and people rebuilding livelihoods
  • Marginalised, displaced, refugee-host and mobile communities where relevant
  • People leaving rehabilitation, detention or institutional care, through lawful referrals

Family-based support is the starting point for children. Braveland is not proposed as a mass orphanage or a reason to separate children from safe families. Safeguarding, statutory referral and disability access must be designed before services open.

Six linked programme streams

FAM

Family strength and inclusion

Needs-led case support, school continuity, safe family-care referral, caregiver livelihoods, assistive access and links to existing social protection. No child removal or residential placement is proposed by this plan.

WASH

Safe water and sanitation

Repair first; compare protected sources, rain harvesting, storage and groundwater. Use accessible toilets, handwashing, drainage and a funded maintenance/operator plan.

HLT

Healthcare access

Map actual facilities, referral capacity, travel time, costs and accessible transport. Licensed providers retain clinical decisions. Include nutrition, maternal care, chronic illness, disability, mental-health referral and elderly follow-up.

TRK

Intervention delivery and follow-up

Connect assessed needs to approved providers or supplies; track referral or dispatch references, confirm receipt or attendance and follow up outcomes through confidential case records.

LIV

Climate-resilient livelihoods

Start small, with soil, water, climate, tenure and market checks. Combine extension support, appropriate crops, livestock/fodder, safe storage, skills and market access.

RES

Preparedness and continuity

Plan alternatives for drought, flooding, route closure, supply failure, safeguarding incidents and funding interruption. Record lessons and revise the plan.

Fourteen county programme concepts

Choose a county to see candidate locations, practical actions, intended benefits and the checks needed before a project can begin. Every county includes all six streams above; locations below are assessment starting points, not approved construction sites.

Turkana RV-023 · Proposed

Candidate assessment areas: Lodwar and Kanamkemer for coordination; Kalokol and Kerio for lakeshore assessment; Kakuma–Kalobeyei for host-community liaison. Exact villages, coordinates, landholders and service boundaries remain to be verified.

Risks to investigate: Drought, heat, flash flooding, dispersed settlements and interrupted water access are priority assessment themes. Host and displaced populations need coordinated, equitable referral pathways.

RV-023-FAM · Family support: Map children’s and caregivers’ services, elderly and disability access, and locally relevant vulnerable groups. Propose one initial needs-assessment cohort of up to 100 households, subject to lawful enrolment, consent, staffing and funding. This is a planning ceiling, not a count of people already served.

RV-023-WASH · Water and sanitation: Audit existing water points before considering drilling; assess rain storage, pump repairs and separate livestock access in candidate settlements.

RV-023-HLT · Healthcare: Propose outreach/referral links through county health teams serving Lodwar and remote communities; test transport continuity when river crossings fail.

RV-023-TRK · Intervention tracking: Link each assessed need to an approved service referral or item dispatch. Confirm the service provider or delivery destination, record receipt or attendance, and follow up the outcome through confidential case records.

RV-023-LIV · Livelihoods: Dryland sorghum, millet and cowpea demonstration plots only where soil and moisture permit; fodder reserves and veterinary referral may be more appropriate than expanding cropping.

RV-023-RES · Continuity: Agree alternative routes and safe meeting points; hold distributed essential supplies rather than one flood-exposed store.

Intended benefits and coverage

The proposed benefits are safer water access, reduced avoidable travel barriers, stronger family care and more resilient livelihoods. No impact estimate is claimed. Confirm the actual catchment through settlement mapping, current population evidence, existing providers and consultation with women, older people and people with disabilities.

Illustrative water concept only: 250 households × 5 people = 1,250 people; at an assumed 20 litres per person per day, domestic demand would be 25 m³/day before losses and institutional or livestock demand. Household size and consumption are design assumptions, not local measurements or a certified standard. Sustainable yield, water quality, seasonal reliability, storage and a funded operator determine feasible coverage.

Before approval: validate need and non-duplication; rank candidate settlements; confirm permissions, technical design, licensed partners, safeguarding, KES lifecycle costs, funding and maintenance. Baseline collection starts only through authorised intake and approved privacy, safeguarding and operational arrangements.

County resources and working structure

Initial county pilot staffing assumption; subject to workload, consultation, certification and approved funding. These are planned posts, not existing staff or open vacancies.

12 proposed core posts · 10 separate volunteer places

Reporting: 1 county lead supervises 11 other core personnel. County programme lead → Rift Valley regional coordinator → national coordination → Founder. Other county core roles report operational progress to the county lead. Centrally provided logistics personnel remain administratively controlled by the Founder’s Office.

Uasin Gishu RV-027 · Proposed

Candidate assessment areas: Eldoret for coordination; Moiben and Turbo for rural assessment; urban service gaps assessed separately. Exact villages, coordinates, landholders and service boundaries remain to be verified.

Risks to investigate: Farm-input and market shocks, urban vulnerability, drainage problems and uneven access to services are assessment priorities.

RV-027-FAM · Family support: Map children’s and caregivers’ services, elderly and disability access, and locally relevant vulnerable groups. Propose one initial needs-assessment cohort of up to 100 households, subject to lawful enrolment, consent, staffing and funding. This is a planning ceiling, not a count of people already served.

RV-027-WASH · Water and sanitation: Assess safe storage and repairs in rural supply systems plus drainage and sanitation in selected urban catchments.

RV-027-HLT · Healthcare: Seek referral cooperation with county services and licensed Eldoret providers; map rehabilitation and specialist-care access.

RV-027-TRK · Intervention tracking: Link each assessed need to an approved service referral or item dispatch. Confirm the service provider or delivery destination, record receipt or attendance, and follow up the outcome through confidential case records.

RV-027-LIV · Livelihoods: Soil-informed maize/beans, fodder and dairy hygiene, cooperative storage and market planning; no yield or buyer guarantees.

RV-027-RES · Continuity: Use alternate supply contracts and offline case continuity during connectivity or transport failure.

Intended benefits and coverage

The proposed benefits are safer water access, reduced avoidable travel barriers, stronger family care and more resilient livelihoods. No impact estimate is claimed. Confirm the actual catchment through settlement mapping, current population evidence, existing providers and consultation with women, older people and people with disabilities.

Illustrative water concept only: 250 households × 5 people = 1,250 people; at an assumed 20 litres per person per day, domestic demand would be 25 m³/day before losses and institutional or livestock demand. Household size and consumption are design assumptions, not local measurements or a certified standard. Sustainable yield, water quality, seasonal reliability, storage and a funded operator determine feasible coverage.

Before approval: validate need and non-duplication; rank candidate settlements; confirm permissions, technical design, licensed partners, safeguarding, KES lifecycle costs, funding and maintenance. Baseline collection starts only through authorised intake and approved privacy, safeguarding and operational arrangements.

Nakuru RV-032 · Proposed

Candidate assessment areas: Nakuru for coordination; Rongai/Ngata and Solai for water/drainage assessment; Naivasha and other subcounties require separate validation. Exact villages, coordinates, landholders and service boundaries remain to be verified.

Risks to investigate: Flooding, water stress, pollution and urban/rural service differences require local screening. The county PCRA identifies drainage issues in Rongai areas.

RV-032-FAM · Family support: Map children’s and caregivers’ services, elderly and disability access, and locally relevant vulnerable groups. Propose one initial needs-assessment cohort of up to 100 households, subject to lawful enrolment, consent, staffing and funding. This is a planning ceiling, not a count of people already served.

RV-032-WASH · Water and sanitation: Assess rehabilitation, storage, source quality and drainage in Rongai/Ngata; compare safe alternatives before drilling. Protect sanitation from flooding.

RV-032-HLT · Healthcare: Build county-led referral and donor-mobilisation proposals around existing licensed services; map peri-urban and rural access separately.

RV-032-TRK · Intervention tracking: Link each assessed need to an approved service referral or item dispatch. Confirm the service provider or delivery destination, record receipt or attendance, and follow up the outcome through confidential case records.

RV-032-LIV · Livelihoods: Soil-tested cereal/legume plots, fodder and locally suitable horticulture; protect lake catchments and screen groundwater quality.

RV-032-RES · Continuity: Screen Braveland candidates for flood, drainage, geotechnical and catchment risks; use dispersed county delivery if the hub is delayed.

Intended benefits and coverage

The proposed benefits are safer water access, reduced avoidable travel barriers, stronger family care and more resilient livelihoods. No impact estimate is claimed. Confirm the actual catchment through settlement mapping, current population evidence, existing providers and consultation with women, older people and people with disabilities.

Illustrative water concept only: 250 households × 5 people = 1,250 people; at an assumed 20 litres per person per day, domestic demand would be 25 m³/day before losses and institutional or livestock demand. Household size and consumption are design assumptions, not local measurements or a certified standard. Sustainable yield, water quality, seasonal reliability, storage and a funded operator determine feasible coverage.

Before approval: validate need and non-duplication; rank candidate settlements; confirm permissions, technical design, licensed partners, safeguarding, KES lifecycle costs, funding and maintenance. Baseline collection starts only through authorised intake and approved privacy, safeguarding and operational arrangements.

Local emphasis: Spring protection, erosion assessment, drainage and seasonal fodder support.

Shared or contracted specialists as required: water-quality laboratory, hydrogeologist, environmental/land adviser, safeguarding supervisor and licensed clinical partners. Their personnel are not included in county headcounts. Construction crews are separately scoped and approved.

Resource mobilisation: Led centrally by the Founder’s Office: costed institutional grants, corporate/philanthropic and diaspora partnerships, and suitable in-kind support. County teams submit needs and organise local work; no county fundraising or personal resource contribution is required. All collection remains on certification hold.

Budget: Founder’s Office to arrange KES quotations, funding, procurement and delivery. County teams confirm quantities, timing, receipt and use. No approved budget or secured resources are claimed.

Vacancies: Current professional vacancies and field applications are listed on Careers and Registration; older resource estimates are not additional advertised posts.

Ward and locality priorities

Selected local evidence; complete ward inventory pending. These 2023 report findings are historical baselines, not verified conditions today. Electoral wards, localities and shared zones are labelled separately.

Proposed · Awaiting field verification

Evidence starting point: Official county/profile resource. This resource supports desk assessment; the proposed locations and designs are Norisha’s screening suggestions and have not been field-verified.

People and resources required

Proposed first-pilot structure: 10 core posts per county, increased to 12 in Turkana, West Pokot, Samburu, Baringo, Narok and Kajiado for an initial dispersed-outreach allowance. This is a planning judgement, not a measured staffing standard. Earlier planning allowance across fourteen counties: 152 proposed core posts and 140 separate volunteer places. No one is represented as recruited, funded or available for deployment.

Working structure: proposed regional coordination → county programme lead → technical, support and outreach roles. Finance approvals and safeguarding escalation remain independently controlled. Shared regional management and external specialist/clinical teams are excluded from county totals.

Payroll, equipment and operating requirements will be costed in KES. Vacancies will appear on Careers with the current dates, requirements and application instructions; these older resource assumptions do not alter the current advert.

Phase Two · Future concept · Site not selected

Braveland – Umoja

Rift Valley Regional Centre

An integrated Norisha city for healthcare, sport, learning, inclusive living, youth innovation and enterprise, supporting services in surrounding counties, wards and villages.

The city is intended to concentrate specialist facilities, training, creativity and enterprise, then extend their benefits through county teams, local partners and village services. Braveland – Umoja is the proposed Rift Valley regional centre within an eight-region network. Braveland City, Kibwezi (proposed) is a separate development, and Norisha’s planned head office is in Nairobi, with its exact site undecided. These are distinct projects; the Rift Valley search corridor identifies neither.

Explore the Phase Two city concept

Norisha Hospital

A proposed hospital and referral/training centre, with accessible care and links to county and village services.

Development requirements

Define clinical scope, demand, licensed operators, staffing, referral network and a sustainable care-funding model.

Sports complex and academies

Sports grounds, training camps, talent academies and coaching programmes for young people.

Development requirements

Assess sports demand, coaching capacity, accessible facilities, safeguarding and operating costs.

Fundraising tournaments and international events

Norisha tournaments, including a proposed polo event inspired by international cup formats, alongside other sports and cultural fundraising events for guests, supporters and dignitaries.

Development requirements

Develop event feasibility, animal welfare where relevant, safety, insurance, sponsorship and transparent accounting. No event date, royal affiliation or guest attendance is confirmed.

Residential and community living

Accessible residential homes and accommodation for the city community, with associated services and home/work needs considered in the design.

Development requirements

Define intended residents, tenure, affordability, care model and safeguarding. Children’s support remains family-based; no mass orphanage is proposed.

School and learning support for blind learners

A proposed school and resource centre for blind and visually impaired learners, with Braille, assistive technology, orientation/mobility support and links to inclusive education.

Development requirements

Co-design with learners and disability organisations; establish education approvals, qualified staffing and accessible learning pathways.

Suka Delta design and fabrication

A youth innovation centre for vehicle concepts, modelling, prototyping and eventual fabrication/manufacturing, supported by technical training and creative design.

Development requirements

Confirm the programme name and technical scope; stage CAD/model-making, prototypes and production separately, with engineering, testing, safety and commercial feasibility checks.

Braveland Tours and hospitality

A proposed tours, visitor experience and hospitality programme connecting the city with regional attractions and local enterprises.

Development requirements

Define the service model, licensed operators where required, accessible visitor routes and local supplier participation.

Public safety and emergency services

Provision for a proposed Braveland police station and coordinated fire, ambulance and emergency access.

Development requirements

A police station depends on government authorisation and service planning; Norisha cannot establish police powers. Emergency arrangements require responsible agencies and qualified operators.

Bank of Norisha concept

A proposed financial-services component to support enterprise and access to finance within the wider vision.

Development requirements

Assess a licensed-provider partnership and any separately regulated institution. “Bank of Norisha” is a working concept, not a licensed bank, deposit facility or currency authorisation.

Norisha Airport — host county to be confirmed

A proposed county-named Norisha Airport serving Braveland – Umoja (Rift Valley), distinct from the separately envisaged main aviation project near Nairobi. Final naming: Norisha Airport — [County Name], after the host county is selected.

Development requirements

Undertake demand, airspace, land, noise, safety and environmental studies; establish the applicable KCAA approval pathway. No airport site or operating approval is confirmed.

Investor and enterprise precinct

A proposed area for registered investors and productive enterprises, including a future parcel-sale model if lawful ownership, planning and subdivision arrangements are established.

Development requirements

Complete land/title due diligence, community-rights checks, independent valuation, infrastructure costing and legal review before any offering. No parcel is currently offered or reserved and no investment payment is accepted.

Utilities and community connections

Water, sanitation, power, digital access, waste systems, accessible streets and outreach links joining the city to surrounding settlements.

Development requirements

Size demand and water balance before allocating land; protect essential services and fund operations, maintenance and renewal.

Land, workforce and phased delivery

The earlier approximately 10,000-acre aspiration is a feasibility input, not land acquired or proven sufficient for this expanded city. Test water, ecology, community rights, access and land-use compatibility, especially aviation, housing, hospital, sport and industry.

The 152 county pilot posts and 140 volunteer places cover county programmes only. The Braveland – Umoja centre requires a separate capital and operating budget, specialist workforce plan and phased recruitment schedule; these have not yet been quantified.

  1. Define the full city brief with communities and technical partners; retain the eight-region ambition without treating every branch as an identical copy.
  2. Compare sites and prepare a land-use, access, utilities, environmental and financial feasibility plan. The existing Nakuru–Rongai search corridor remains provisional; the enlarged city brief may change the ranking or land requirement.
  3. Prepare separately costed and approved packages for hospital, education, sport, residences, innovation, tourism, aviation and enterprise; no unsupported opening dates or blanket staffing total.
  4. Deliver approved phases and connect them to county referral, training, procurement and village outreach networks. Report verified milestones and use of funds.

All facilities above are proposed. No hospital, school, bank, police station, airport, tournament, land sale or investor offer is represented as operating or approved. No guest, government agency, investor or sporting organisation is represented as committed. Government certification alone does not approve these individual developments.

Regulatory starting points: CBK licensing guidance and KCAA aerodrome licensing. Specific designs require the relevant professional and authority review.

Schedule, evidence and decision points

One plan, clear responsibility and reporting

Founder / Executive Director → National coordination → Rift Valley regional coordination → County programme lead → County technical, outreach and support roles.

Regional span: 14 county leads report to the proposed Rift Valley regional coordinator, Dr. Terra Saidimu Leseeto. The earlier county planning allowance was 152 core posts: 14 leads plus 138 other personnel. Eight counties have 9 other personnel under their lead; six have 11. Regional/national office staffing is additional and not yet quantified.

Each volunteer has a named outreach or programme supervisor; reports go through the county lead, not directly to regional coordination. Volunteers are not counted as employees.

Proposed: officers update weekly; county leads review weekly; regional coordination consolidates monthly; national coordination reviews monthly for Founder decisions. Serious safeguarding, safety, data or financial incidents escalate promptly through approved confidential procedures.

Local recruitment, two-year postings and mobility

Proposed staffing and mobility policy · Recruitment remains closed

Initial posting

Recruit for an approved local vacancy near the person’s verified ordinary residence/registration area. Registration location is checked; it is not an ancestry, birthplace or ethnicity test. For example, an eligible recruit resident in Lodwar would initially serve the local Turkana programme for the agreed term.

Fair selection

Advertise accessibly across the relevant local areas; assess published qualifications, relevant skills and suitability through a documented panel. Support reasonable accommodation. Use an auditable random draw only among genuinely equally qualified candidates for the same role and posting, under a published tie-break rule. Do not select or exclude by ethnicity, clan, religion or personal connections. Specialist shortages may require a separately approved, transparent recruitment plan.

Two-year term

Proposed initial employment term: two years from the agreed start. Pay, benefits, precise work station, duties, start/end dates and any mobility clause must be agreed in the written contract before work begins. Volunteer and contractor terms are separate.

One matched-transfer request

Ordinary inter-station transfers are deferred during the initial two-year term. One discretionary matched-transfer request may be submitted during that term: both employees must voluntarily request the exchange, be qualified for the receiving roles and have verified counterpart consent. A match is necessary but does not guarantee approval.

Approval and protected exceptions

HR/Administration checks role/grade compatibility, funded posts, service continuity, safeguarding, conflicts, accessible travel/housing needs and handover. Founder’s Office authorises logistics and costs. No transfer takes effect until both amended posting records are approved in writing. Medical/disability accommodation, safety, safeguarding and statutory rights require a separate exception route and do not consume the discretionary request.

Renewal and continuity

Founder’s policy intention is continuity for all staff. Before the two-year term ends, confirm ongoing need, lawful terms, funding, performance and mutual agreement in writing. No unconditional automatic renewal or unfunded salary promise is made on this public page.

Rotation at renewal

At renewal, consider a new station through a transparent, nationally coordinated rotation plan, subject to available funded roles, suitability, consultation, reasonable accommodation, lawful contract terms and centrally arranged relocation support. No automatic forced swap or open transfer entitlement is created. Marsabit/Mombasa exchanges would require separate regional plans beyond this Rift Valley scope.

The same plan/project ID follows the role. An approved transfer closes the old posting, records handover and effective dates, and changes authorised scope; it does not duplicate performance, people served or expenditure.

Employment Act: equal opportunity and written employment particulars. Final terms require Kenyan employment-law review before issue.

Central administration and shared resources

The Founder’s Office coordinates all logistics, service-delivery arrangements, supplies, goods, security liaison, ambulances, vehicles, earthmoving equipment and other resources for county programmes and Braveland developments. County teams organise delivery locally, specify needs and report progress; they are not required to raise funds or personally provide resources. Remuneration, role-specific programme duration and final employment/engagement terms will be added separately before recruitment or engagement.

County/project team submits numbers, needs, timing and service plan → Founder’s Office arranges technical review, budget approval and sourcing → central procurement/hire/partner arrangements → authorised dispatch and service coordination → local receipt, use and performance reporting. Resource availability depends on approved funding and readiness.

Administration requests and coordinates police support with the responsible authorities; government retains police appointments, command and deployment. Any private security arrangement must use appropriately authorised providers. No personnel, ambulance, vehicle or machine is claimed to be owned, procured, assigned or available. Quantities, operators and readiness must be verified for each approved activity.

Aggregate only at public/executive summary level; personal case records remain restricted. Submission, verification and approval are separate actions. County, regional and national totals must not double-count the same people or expenditure. Proposed responsibilities · No assignments issued.

This is a proposed two-year delivery framework from an agreed, authorised start. It does not start the employment contract or promise completion of a major campus within two years. Government certification, leadership appointment, agreements, readiness and funding precede operational activity.

Every approved project card should show its owner, scope, location, baseline, target, planned start/finish, forecast finish, dependencies, approved budget, commitments, expenditure, evidence date and next decision. The leadership dashboard can graph those verified records. Blank measurements remain “Awaiting baseline”; no progress percentages are invented.

Family and inclusion

Unique households assessed, referrals completed, school continuity and service access, reported safely by relevant group.

Water and sanitation

Functional days, tested water quality, actual users, collection time, safe sanitation access and funded maintenance.

Healthcare and rehabilitation

Completed referrals, accessible service journeys and follow-up outcomes, verified through authorised partners.

Livelihoods and accountability

Production and net livelihood change with seasonal context; cost per output, complaints resolution, safeguarding incidents and maintenance reliability.

Each proposed 100-household county cohort gives a regional planning ceiling of 1,400 households, not a population estimate or commitment. Do not add overlapping water, health and household counts into a claimed number of unique beneficiaries. Cost every pilot in KES with capital, staffing, consumables, permits, transport, maintenance, monitoring, replacement and contingency; no verified quotations or approved budget exist in this edition.

Prepare for disruption, including surprises

Unforeseen events cannot be listed exhaustively. The plan therefore combines known scenarios with incident authority, alternative suppliers/routes, proportionate reserves, protected records and clear restart checks. Physical harms cannot always be reversed: “rollback” means safely pausing, substituting or redesigning the service while preserving accountability.

Evidence, assumptions and the next revision

Sources checked on 16 October 2026. Public plans describe proposed work; they do not establish government endorsement or a partnership. County resources vary in detail and age. Full ward-by-ward needs verification, actual facility capacity, site coordinates, current NDMA classifications, water yields, land availability and cost quotations remain open.

This edition adds 29 selected ward/locality profiles across 13 counties; Samburu local risk evidence remains pending. This is not an exhaustive ward register. Every county uses the same versioned master-plan record. The next revision should complete the ward coverage matrix, prioritisation agreed with communities and counties, source dates, a permitted service catchment, verified quotations and a signed operating/maintenance plan for each selected pilot. Personal beneficiary records, donor medical data, staff security details and sensitive site information must remain private.
