 SOCIAL SERVICES AND TALENT MANAGEMENT

 This sector deals with the promotion of culture and heritage, arts and sports development, social services and youth, women and the marginalized people affairs. This sector has the responsibility to change social attitudes of the people and shaping social change for rapid county transformation.

 In the county, the youth population comprises of about 53 percent of the total population while that of women is over 50 percent. These two groups constitute a larger portion of the unemployed population in the county and increase the dependency ratio. In recognition of this fact, the County Government will continue with the Youth, Women and Persons with Disabilities Fund to offer credit facilities to engage in business and other income generating activities to uplift the standard of living of these groups, encourage entrepreneurial and savings culture. The two groups will be encouraged to form groups and be assisted to start income generating activities.

 Gender equality will be emphasized to eradicate marginalization of any group. All county programmes will be gender sensitive and affirmative action taken to ensure sustainable women and youth empowerment.

 Under sports and arts development, the County will establish an arts centre with modern facilities as well as rehabilitate sports fields. To promote sports and youth development, the county will construct and fully equip a modern stadium facility.
