Embakasi-West Constituency

Embakasi West Constituency is one of the 17 constituencies in Nairobi County, Kenya. The constituency is situated approximately 6km East of Nairobi Central Business District (CBD). The constituency covers an area of 9.35km. Embakasi West is a unique constituency it some of the most affluent localities in Nairobi as well as some of the poorest (slum) areas in Nairobi County. The slum areas are the most disadvantaged and challenged due to the number of poverty striken people and living in dilapidated living conditions especially in Kiambiu Slums.
A new planning framework for constituency development fund was enacted in 2015, aligned with the constitution in the spirit of devolution. These reforms devolved most of the function and capacity to the county governments and the National Government focus was limited to two key areas security and education. Nevertheless, the legislation recognize the need to continue to support the less fortunate in the community through provision of social security.
The strategic plan is the highest – level plan that members of NG-CDF prepares. Its purpose is to identify the community’s main priorities and aspiration for the future to plan strategies for achieving these goals. In doing this, the planning process considers the issues and pressures that may affect the community and the level of resources that will realistically be available to achieve its aspirations.
While NG-CDF committee has a custodial role in initiating, preparing and maintaining the community Strategy Plan on behalf of the community, and wholly responsible for its implementation. Other patners, such as state agencies and community groups may also be responsible for the delivery of long – term strategies in the plan of these responsibilities are also identified in the plan.
The population of Embakasi West has grown rapidly, particularly through the 2000. The current estimated population for Embakasi West is at 187, 020 (Census 2009). In the first year of implementing the strategic plan, National Census will be carried out, it’s expected that after the census will have a great implication to the overall both mature aged persons and families with school aged children. This has implications for the future pattern of demand for services. Additionally, younger people in the 18-25 age group earn their living in the informal sector i.e. juakali, operating local boutiques and often are migrating away in search for employment and education impacting the make up , vitality and diversity of our community.
