PPSD: P163980 Kenya Marine Fisheries and Socio-Economic Development (KEMFSED) Operational Expenses: The project will also finance from the Bank proceeds for costs associated with operational travel, accommodation, per-diems, office consumables and maintenance, motor vehicle maintenance, and remuneration for project implementation support personnel categorized as “incremental operation cost1”. These expenditures will not be subject to procurement clearance hence will not be reflected in the approved procurement plan. Items under this category would be procured using the implementing agencies’ internal procurement and administrative procedures acceptable to the Bank. The expenditure plan under this category will be submitted annually to the Bank for no objection and will be subject to national financial audit. Trainings / Capacity Development initiatives through the project are not Procurement Transactions unless a service provider is exclusively hired from Market through agreed Selection Methods of Consultant / Non-consulting services as appropriate to render training or capacity development. If there is no price discovery and the fund is transferred to the communities or to the counties, then these transactions are not part of the procurement plan for first 18 months and through Banks’ STEP.

PPSD: P163980 Kenya Marine Fisheries and Socio-Economic Development (KEMFSED) 2 Overview of Country, Borrower and Marketplace a. Operational Context Kenya at Glance: Kenya has an estimated population of about 48 Million (Est 2018) and a geographical area of 580,367 Sq. km, and is situated in the East of Africa bordering Somalia to the East, Uganda to the West, Ethiopia to the North and Tanzania to the South. Kenya’s rapid population growth resulted in more than 40% of the population being under the age of 15, making Kenya one of the countries in the World with the highest population of young people. Table 3: Kenya at Glance: Indicators 2004 2015 2016 2017 2018 2019 Remarks Progressive Ease of Doing Improvement in Business (Overall 129 113 92 80 612 56 the ranking with Ranking 189 various measures countries) Corruption Corruption perception index Perception Index3 145 143 145 143 144 145 remains ((Ranking out of relatively the 175 countries) same since 2004 There is room for Competitive Index4 96 90 99 93 99 95 improvement (Ranking out of 140 countries) Governance aspects: Kenya functions under democratic governance and has made good progress towards establishing a competitive economy. Kenya’s current constitution was enacted on 27th August 2010 replacing the old one that had been in place since Kenya’s Independence in 1963. It provides a Structure of the Government that consists of The Executive, The Legislature, The Judiciary and The Devolved Units of Government. The Executive comprises of the President, the Deputy President, and the Cabinet. The Judiciary constitutes of the Supreme Court, the Court of Appeal, and High Court, Magistrates Courts, Kadhi Courts and Tribunals. The President is the Head of State and Government, Commander-in-Chief of the Kenya Defence Forces, and the chairperson of the National Security Council. The 2010 constitution provides for two autonomous but interdependent levels of government: national and 47 county governments with mainly elected assemblies, elected governors, and governor-appointed cabinet members ratified by the assembly. The constitution eliminated the previous third tier of government, the urban and rural local authorities, and transferred their revenues and functions to the county governments. Economic Aspects 2 Doing Business 2019 Training for Reform; The World Bank, October 2018. ‘Getting Electricity’ Indicator is one out of 10 indicators that comprise the Doing Business Index. In that indicator, out of 190 economies, Kenya jumped from 127 in 2016 to 71 in 2017 reflecting the increased electricity connections during the period. Kenya ranked 75 in the indicator in 2019 3 Transparency International 4 Global Competitiveness Report published by the World Economic Forum 2018 12 | P a g e
PPSD: P163980 Kenya Marine Fisheries and Socio-Economic Development (KEMFSED) Kenya is the economic, financial, and transport hub of East Africa. Kenya’s real GDP growth has averaged over 5% during the last decade. The Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in Kenya was worth US $ 74.94 Billion in 2017. The GDP value of Kenya represents 0.12 percent of the World economy. Since 2014, Kenya has been ranked as a lower middle-income country after attaining the World Bank threshold of US$ 996 GDP Income per capita. The economic expansion has been boosted by a stable macroeconomic environment, low oil prices, rebound in tourism, strong remittance inflows and a government led infrastructure development initiative. Kenya imports machinery and transportation equipment, oil, petroleum products, motor vehicles, iron and steel, resins and plastic [US $ 17.1 Billion in 2017] and exports [in 2017] US $ 6.17 Billion tea, horticultural products, coffee, petroleum products, fish, cement, apparel5. The trade deficit of US $ 10.93 Billion. Kenya Shillings (KES) is stable and floating around 100 per US$ during previous year. The inflation Rate in Kenya averaged 9.67 percent from 2005 until 2019. Kenya applies East African Community (EAC) Common External Tariff – In general, Customs duty is levied at rates between 0% and 100%, with an average rate of 25%. Regarding the sales tax, imports into Kenya are subject to a standard VAT rate of 16%, levied on the sum of the CIF value, duty, and other applicable taxes6. The macro economic factors are stable. Kenya does not produce key commodities and inputs for infrastructure development such as materials for transmission lines, transformers, sub stations, and meters. These are the main inputs for the supply and installation. The contractors will import these requirements and hence, the Government of Kenya likely to consider in providing tax exemption to project, or budgeting should take the taxes in to considerations. This exemption may help the project to get economical price and may take additional activities from tax savings. Sustainability Aspects: The project will not use the sustainable procurement options. The detailed feasibility studies and business plans increases the sustainability of various initiatives taken up by community and county governments. Empowerment would be assessed in terms of the extent to which these initiatives specify goals for project-supported activities, implement these activities successfully (including the management of their own contributions, if any), and efficiently operate on viable business model and maintain the resulting assets. The Ministry is expected to facilitate the implementation of envisaged initiatives and build the capacity of the business communities with the support of various advisors/service providers hired through various consultancies. Each created asset through project funds will be operated and maintained by the respective IAs and ensure that created assets are used for designed life span. The IAs keep adequate spares and the staff were provided with adequate training The Project will use the appropriate bidding documents (Bank’s Standard Procurement Documents) and contracts formats, to ensure satisfactory environmental, social, health and safety performance of contractors incorporate these conditions. The clauses will cover six issues (1) Environment, Health and Safety (EHS); (2) Environmental and social monitoring by contractor; (3) Environmental and social liabilities (4) Grievance mechanism for workers’, (5) Gender Based Violence (GBV) and (6) Sexual Exploitation and Abuse (SEA).

PPSD: P163980 Kenya Marine Fisheries and Socio-Economic Development (KEMFSED) For envisaged Works and Goods, Equipment, Machineries are of standard specifications and changes in the technology are gradual. Hence, the variation of price due technological changes on the overall price is minimal. The community will be implementing various sub projects of small size both in value and complexity with different objectives scattered over five coastal counties. The technological tools will be helpful for concurrent monitoring, guidance, cross learning, exchange of information through platforms and closed groups. The Project will attempt to leverage these technological tools (platforms for facilitation, peer discussion and intensive training through boot camps,). The technological (ICT / web based) tools will facilitate the implementation of various envisaged initiatives and concurrently monitor the progress. Key Conclusions: (i) Kenya is categorized as Lower Middle Income Non-Fragile Country. Kenya’s real GDP growth has averaged over 5% for the last eight years; (ii) Kenyan currency is fairly stable since 2015 and the potential foreign providers may opt to quote in either local or foreign currency or a combination of both. (iii) The Project will use various technological tools and leverage from existing benefits for effective implementation b. Client Capability and PIU Assessment Legal and Regulatory Framework: The Public Procurement & Asset Disposal Act (PPADA 2015) sets out the rules and procedures of public procurement by MDAs and County Governments and provides mechanisms for enforcement of the law. Under the PPADA, the Public Procurement Regulatory Authority (PPRA) has been established in addition to the Public Procurement Directorate in the National Treasury. The PPRA has oversight and regulatory functions, including undertaking procurement reviews and audits. There is a Public Procurement Complaints Administrative Review and Appeals Board (Appeal Board) under the secretariat of PPRA that deals with complaints received from bidders or consulting firms following national market approach. The provisions of PPADA have been assessed and found to be largely consistent with the World Bank Procurement Regulations, Section V, Para 5.4, National Procurement Procedures. However, the delay in issuing the attendant Regulations may affect the implementation of the project for contracts following the national market approach. The proposed project’s implementing agency at the national level is the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock, and Fisheries (MoALF) with its State Department for Fisheries, Aquaculture, and the Blue Economy (SDFA&BE) having the overall project implementation responsibility. A national project coordinating unit (NPCU) would be established in Nairobi to manage and coordinate project implementation activities. The five coastal counties (Kwale, Mombasa, Kilifi, Tana River, and Lamu) would be responsible for carrying out specific activities at the county level. 14 | P a g e
PPSD: P163980 Kenya Marine Fisheries and Socio-Economic Development (KEMFSED) The project will be implemented by the fully staffed NPCU and CPIUs at the Ministry and County levels respectively. The national NPCU however, would be responsible for overall coordination and project/contract management. The NPCU led by a project coordinator, will include technical fisheries experts, and fiduciary (Financial Specialist and Procurement Specialist), M&E, and environmental and social safeguards staff. The technical implementation is at the national and local levels. At the national level, a NPCU has been established with a full-time procurement officer who is supported by an experienced procurement consultant conversant with Bank Procurement Regulations and procedures and the use of STEP. The NPCU is currently implementing a PPA of US$2 million and most of the activities to be undertaken are at advanced stages of procurement and/or implementation. The Bank has provided the requisite training and capacity building on the Bank’s Procurement Regulations and use of STEP to the NPCU staff. Although at the County level most activities will follow the national market approach hence use of national procurement procedures, basic training on implementation of Bank financed operations and the use of STEP will be necessary. Community Procurement: The Project will provide support to each county for capacity building and institutional strengthening through a standard package of goods, equipment and training. CPIUs (through county field officers) or staff from the productive alliance partnerships will also provide support to communities in organizing smallholder fishing and non-fishing households into common interest groups (CIGs) for the participatory identification and preparation of livelihood, social or environmental sub-projects. Community sub-project support would be provided to beneficiaries organized into CIGs to be formed in the 19 coastal sub-counties of the five project counties. The roles and responsibilities for the implementation of sub-projects by CIG is outlined in a tripartite Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to be signed between the SDFA&BE, the county and each partner, prior to initiating implementation. CDD approach using simplified procurement methods and arrangements to be elaborated in the relevant manuals including the PGM, PIM and procurement manual, to be approved by the Bank and made publicly available by the GoK. County interventions and support to community activities will also be defined in the PGM. As the considerable amount spend through community sub projects [ US $ 28.76 million Sub project grants, the scope of internal audit includes the post procurement review of representative sample including physical inspection and submit report to NPCU. The 15 | P a g e
PPSD: P163980 Kenya Marine Fisheries and Socio-Economic Development (KEMFSED) NPCU will consolidate financial year wise report and submit to the World Bank within Two months after completion of Financial Year. Besides, this oversight the county offices will undertake periodic monitoring [procurement] of these sub projects. The procurement specialist at NPCU is responsible for overall procurement monitoring of the project procurement activities including contract management in liaison with the concerned officers at various levels. Experience The MOALF has previous experience in implementing World Bank-financed projects, having implemented many Bank financed operations in the past, including the ongoing National Agriculture and Rural Inclusive Growth (NARIG) and Kenya Climate Smart Agriculture (KCSA) Projects. However, the State Department of Fisheries, Aquaculture and the Blue Economy is new and most of the staff do not have prior experience in implementation of World Bank funded projects, in particular in the application of the Procurement Framework [NPF]. The predecessor of the SDF-BE implemented the Kenya Coastal Development Project [P094692] that was closed on June 30, 2017. The institutional memory however was not retained due to change of staff that were involved in the implementation of the KCDP project. The implementation of the KCDP was initially characterized by substantial delays, partly due to weak procurement capacity. The lessons learnt will be incorporated in the design of this project. Part of the risks have been mitigated by hiring of an experienced procurement specialist to support the proposed project’s preparation and implementation of the PPA. It is also envisaged that experienced procurement specialists will be deployed to all the five counties’ CPIUs. Need for hands-on support: As mentioned above, project is already engaged a qualified and experienced Procurement Specialist at NPCU to provide hands-on support in articulating project procurement with the help of Procurement Specialists at the County Governments. The Project may seek Bank’s guidance on complex procurements. Hence, hands-on support is not required. Contract management capability and capacity Supported by a fully staffed NPCU and CPIUs, the ministry will be responsible for overall project/contract management. High risk and high value procurements will be identified for increased contract management support and will be identified in the procurement plan. The NPCU has already developed a set of key performance indicators (KPI) for such identified contracts and the KPIs would be monitored during actual execution of contracts. The Bank team will provide additional due diligence and independent review of contract performance of such identified procurements. In view of the fact that MoALF is not familiar with procurement and contracting of construction works envisaged in Sub-component 1.3. to support the NPCU, a consulting firm will be selected to provide the planning, architectural design and construction supervision services. The Design and documentation phase of the consultancy assignment will be a Lump sum form of contract and payment will be based on the deliverables. The construction supervision phase will be Time Based, and the payment is based on the direct inputs. The NPCU will ensure that the payment terms are balanced and devoid of front loading. This procurement approach will ensure that the design consultant is accountable for their design/solution, minimizes the design revisions after identification of the contractor, and subsequent contractual variations (cost and time overrun). Besides, NPCU may hire need based contract management specialist cum civil engineer with specialisation of construction of building and other type of works envisaged through the project Complaints management and dispute resolution systems The NPCU will establish systems and mechanisms for addressing and escalating their grievances and complaints as outlined in the PIM. A consultancy is envisaged through the project to provide 16 | P a g e
PPSD: P163980 Kenya Marine Fisheries and Socio-Economic Development (KEMFSED) advice on institutionalisation of complaints and dispute resolution mechanisms throughout project implementation. The contacts of key persons involved in the project implementation with their contact details will be disclosed at strategic places within the ministry accessible to the public. The disclosure will also prescribe the number of days for resolving grievances/complaints at each level. In addition, the Public Procurement and Asset Disposal Act 2015 also provides the option for submitting the procurement related complaints to the Public Procurement Administrative Review Board. The Communities and individuals who believe that they are adversely affected by a World Bank (WB) supported project may submit complaints to existing project-level grievance redress mechanisms or the WB’s Grievance Redress Service (GRS). Key Conclusions: (i) Kenya has a legal and regulatory framework that governs public procurement enacted in December 2015 which provides for open advertisement of procurement opportunities, universal eligibility, and an effective complaint handling mechanism hence conducive for the participation of international/foreign service providers; (ii) The NPCU has limited experienced and working knowledge of Bank’s procurement procedures and the procurement and management of high value and complex consultant assignments. Enough technical support and handholding in the initial stages of project implementation will therefore be critical. (iii) MoALF and SDF-BE is not a live department dealing with procurement and contract management on a day to day basis. The procurement activities were involved only during the developmental projects. c.
