Constitutional provisions

Article 43 in Kenya’s new constitution (2010) provides for the right to food. This provision has seen county governments seek to ensure food security in their areas of jurisdiction in various ways. For example, Kisumu County is in the processes of developing an Agriculture and Food Security Bill. Additionally, the new constitution has led to the establishment of county governments through the County Governments Act of 2012. This Act, together with others such as the Land Act of 2012, the Urban Areas and Cities Act of 2011 (Amendment 2016), and the Physical Planning Bill (2015), has enabled Kisumu County and City to prepare spatial and other plans through their own relevant departments and boards. The Kisumu County Integrated Development Plan (ISUD) (2013–2017) is one such plan. While this plan has various food system implications, it also does not explicitly identify food as an object of planning.
