Background
TARDA is the oldest of the six regional development authorities that the Government of Kenya created in 1974 for effective management of natural resources and the environment, and preparation of regional development plans to enhance social and economic development in the region. In this regard, TARDA has requested the UNCRD Africa Office for technical assistance for preparation of an integrated and long-term regional development plan. This process involves sensitization and consultative workshops to facilitate the plan preparation process. Towards this objective, the UNCRD Africa Office and TARDA, in partnership with the University of Nairobi, will organize a consultative and sensitization workshop for planners, development managers, policymakers, community leaders, representatives of NGOs and CBOs, local members of parliament, and others.
