1.9Potential Users of the ESMFThis framework has been prepared as a reference document for use by key stakeholders who will be involved in the planning, implementation, management and operation of the proposed Last Mile Connectivity Project for KPLC and future power projects both donor and government funded. As a reference material, the framework would be useful to the following proposed project key stakeholders:
1.10Organization of the FrameworkThe Framework is organized as follows: Chapter 1: Provides the introduction to the Framework; Chapter 2: Methodology Chapter 3: Baseline information Chapter4: Presents the legal framework within the distribution and transmission component KPLC projects will operate; Chapter 5: Presents a summary of the KPLC project description Chapter 6: Presents the environmental and social screening process for projects; Chapter 7: Presents the public consultation process carried out during the preparation of the ESMF and summarizes the outcomes; Chapter 8: Describes the potential environmental and social impacts and mitigation measures of the KPLC Project; Chapter 9: Provides the institutional setup for environmental and social monitoring and capacity building and training at KPLC to ensure efficient implementation of the ESMF. METHODOLOGY AND CONSULTATIONSeveral methods were involved in the preparation of this ESMF to meet the requirements. An ESMF is meant to provide a screening process for the potential environmental and social impacts for the planned future project activities and recommend a platform for management plan for addressing the potential positive and negative impacts associated with the project. For the purpose of achieving these targets, the following approaches were used: 1.11Detailed & In-depth Literature ReviewThis was done through a thorough review of the project appraisal documents focusing on project description- project development objective and key indicators, project components, project target areas, institutional and implementation arrangements, and monitoring and evaluation of outcomes. Some key baseline information on Kenya’s recent macroeconomic developments especially in the energy sector development was reviewed from project documents. The review also covered Kenya’s policy, legal, regulatory and administrative frameworks relevant to the proposed Last Mile connectivity distribution project. AfDB’s Five Operational Safeguard Policies were reviewed to identify the likely policies to be triggered by subprojects. Bearing in mind that Last Mile Connectivity distribution subproject sites were unknown at the time of the preparation of this ESMF, literature review further encompassed the overview of Kenya’s physiographic and climatic issues, the state of the general environment and population and population dynamics just to inform Last Mile Connectivity Project. Review on the existing baseline information and literature material was undertaken and helped in gaining a further and deeper understanding of the proposed project. A desk review of the Kenyan legal framework and policies was also conducted in order to the relevant legislations and policy documents that should be considered during project implementation. Among the documents that were reviewed in order to familiarize and further understand the project included: Africa Development Bank Related Documents

1.12Interactive Discussions with potential customers and the publicStarting from January, stakeholder engagement and consultation with regard to Last Mile connectivity was conducted on a preliminary basis by our field engineers in the forty seven counties during project site identification and mapping as part of a wider assessment where the views and thoughts of the sector players were sought. However, in the preparation of the project, additional consultations were conducted in by SHE department during EIA process for ongoing nationwide substation upgrading, new substation construction and construction of New lines and uprating the existing once where discussion on last mile connectivity programme was discussed. Most of the issues and suggestions raise by the public revolve around connectivity. They propose the use of the stima loan model or any other method where they are made to get access to electricity and pay slowly over a period of time. Most the rural folk are relatively poor and are not able to pay upfront for the connection fees. The stakeholder consultation was significant to the preparation of this ESMF and formed the basis for the determination of potential project impacts (at sector level) and viable mitigation measures. Stakeholders Consultations Consultations with key stakeholders were undertaken during the Environmental Assessment process for other substation upgrading projects in some counties to ensure that the implementation of the proposed Last Mile Connectivity Distribution Project , particularly with regard to environmental and social issues, takes on board views and concerns across different people and institutions including local and central government entities and key ministries at the County Level, were done mainly through interviews with key informants. Consultations were limited to stakeholders located in counties where the company was doing EIAs for new substations, Lines and upgrading of existing substation because of the following reasons:
