FOREWORDGlobally, the construction sector plays a great role in the socio-economic development of any country. Development is inextricably linked to the Industry, and a good infrastructure belies a country’s growth. In Kenya, the sector is a key driver of the growing economy and contributes greatly to the country’s Gross Domestic Product. Pursuant to the same, the National Construction Authority is a state corporation established to regulate, promote and coordinate the development of the construction industry, ultimately being a major contributor towards the realization of Kenya’s Vision 2030 aspiration goals.
In order to address the challenges in the industry and operationalize the functions of the Authority, this Plan has been developed to pave the way for the Authority’s activities and prioritize resource allocation in order to ensure achievement of set targets. Moreover, the Plan creates a clear road map for the next five years which will ensure a well regulated and transformed construction industry.
The Plan has been developed through an internal and external consultative process involving the Authority’s Board, Management and stakeholders in the construction industry in adherence to the Constitution of Kenya, Kenya Vision 2030 and relevant construction industry laws in the construction industry.
On behalf of the Board of the Authority, I present the National Construction Authority Strategic Plan for the period 2015-2020. We appreciate the efforts made by the Management and industry stakeholders in the publishing of the Plan. We also belabor the Authority’s commitment to excellence and inclusiveness in the execution of our mandate as envisaged in the Strategic Plan.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTThe National Construction Authority is a parastatal established by the National Construction Authority Act No. 41 of 2011 with a mandate to oversee the construction industry and coordinate its development. With such an encompassing mandate in the industry, the Strategic Plan for the period 2015-2020 presents a holistic, strategic roadmap for the execution of the Authority’s mandate. This Plan is also the product of a consultative process with relevant stakeholders in cognisance of the diverse players in the construction industry and revises the current Strategic Plan for the period 2012-2018.
The construction sector has consistently expanded during the last few years, directly impacting the growth of the country’s economy. During the former Strategic Plan period, the Authority has registered over 15,000 construction firms in 22,278 classes of works and accredited approximately 3,000 construction workers in Kenya. The Authority is ensuring compliance in the industry by conducting quality assurance sting operations nationwide. To promote a training and research culture, the Authority has also undertaken Continuous Professional Development for contractors and hosted the first National Construction Research Agenda (NaCRA) in the construction industry. The Authority is also a main stakeholder in the main slums upgrade project in Kibera spearheaded in the Ministry of Devolution and Planning and has undertaken strategic collaborations with industry stakeholders.
In the backdrop of the Survey Report statistics, the Plan has laid the roadmap for continuous and higher development of this crucial sector through the following key result areas;
1. Construction industry regulated
2. Capacity within the construction industry developed and improved 3. Quality in the construction industry assured
4. Research and development in the construction industry enhanced 5. Development and sustainability of the Authority
I would like to acknowledge the efforts of the Board and Management of the Authority in the development of the Plan. We also greatly value and thank all our stakeholders for their views, contributions and critique. We also recognize the role of our parent Ministry of Land, Housing and Urban Development in the same.
As we endeavor to transform the construction sector, we acknowledge the critical role of stakeholders in the implementation of this plan and reiterate that with the support of our stakeholders, the implementation of the Plan shall be a reality.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARYIntroduction
The Construction Industry remains one of the key drivers of growth in the Kenyan economy. The industry is an indicator of the economic performance of the country and is linked with other sectors which have corresponding demands for materials and labour inputs. Construction is critical for trade, facilitating flow of materials and information, reducing inequalities and poverty, and enhancing economic development. In 2013, the construction sector expanded by 5.5 per cent up from a growth of 4.8 per cent registered in 2012.
Given the situation in the industry, there is need to continue streamlining the same to deal with existing and emerging challenges related to safety and quality works. The National Construction Authority was established to carry out the above function and thus facilitate all sectors towards achieving Kenya’s Vision 2030.
Role of National Construction Authority
The role of the Authority is encapsulated in the functions and powers accorded to it through the National Construction Authority Act, Number 41 of 2011.

CHAPTER ONE: INTRODUCTION1.1 Background
The construction industry remains one of the key drivers of growth in the Kenyan economy. Indeed, Kenya’s Vision 2030 has identified infrastructure development as one of the key enablers that will drive this country to become a middle income economy by 2030. The industry accounts for about 7 percent of the country’s national income and employs about 1 million people with an estimated annual wage bill of Sh.3.2 billion. i
Construction is a critical component towards attainment of Kenya’s sustainable economic growth and development. The industry has thus continued to make valuable contributions in transforming Kenya into a regional business hub. Many public and private infrastructure projects vital for the long term development of Kenya are being constructed thus spurring the growth of Kenya’s economy.
Article 46 (1) (c) of the Constitution states that “consumers have the right to the protection of their health, safety and economic interests”. The Authority is committed to ensuring that consumers of construction services are guaranteed of these fundamental rights. However, the industry in general faces some challenges which must be addressed. Some of the challenges include:
(a) Low completion rates of construction projects (b) Lengthy procurement procedures
(c) Access to affordable financing (d) Conflict of law
(e) Low technological uptake in the industry (f) Use of substandard materials
(g) Unethical practices in construction industry.
(h) Oligopolistic and monopolistic practices leading to unfair competition. (i) Inadequacy in terms of skills and competencies of the workforce.
1.2 Kenya Vision 2030 and National Construction Authority
The development of this plan is inspired by the long-term development blueprint for the country which is the Kenya Vision 2030. Its aim is to create a globally competitive and prosperous country with a high quality of life by 2030.
The Vision 2030 is anchored on three main pillars: social, economic and political.Infrastructure remains one of the most important sectors towards the realisation of this key milestone.
The Authority shall contribute to infrastructure development through regulation and coordination of the construction industry. This shall be done through capacity building, training, and registration of contractors and construction workers, regulation of their conduct and carrying out of research aimed at
Strategic Plan 2015-2020 : Transforming the Construction Industry
11
continual development of the industry. In implementing this plan, reference shall be made to laws that govern the construction industry in Kenya and in particular the Act.
1.3 Rationale for Developing the Plan
Organizations world over seek to provide services that are meaningful and beneficial to their stakeholders. Resources to achieve this are scarce and thus the need for strategic planning as a tool to assist in prioritizing focus areas for resource allocation. From this Plan, the Authority’s targets shall be identified for purposes of implementation and achievement of its mandate.
Development of the Plan will enable the Authority to:
• examine the new contextual environment in which it operates;
• explore the factors and trends that affect the way it implements its core functions; • meet its mandates and fulfil its vision and mission;
• identify strategic issues which must be addressed; and
• identify and implement strategies aimed at addressing emerging issues.
1.4 Methodology of Developing the Plan
The development of this Plan relied on review of the relevant documents on the construction sector. Reference was made to Kenya’s Vision 2030 and various other laws that govern the construction industry in Kenya. These include the MTP II 2013-2018 and the National Construction Authority Strategic Plan 2012-2018. Extensive review of the relevant documents culminated in the formulation of the vision and mission statements as well as identification of the Authority’s core values.
Furthermore, in adherence to Article 10 (2) of the Constitution which states that “national values and principles of good governance include; patriotism, national unity, sharing and devolution of power, the rule of law, democracy and participation of the people. “The development of the Strategic Plan was a direct result of extensive consultations with key stakeholders whose views were incorporated in the Plan.

2.4.2 Rationale for Reviewing of the Strategic Plan 2012-2018The review of the Strategic Plan was necessitated by the following reasons:
1. The lapse of the Vision 2030 Medium Term Plan I 2008-2012.
2. Regulatory changes in the operating environment after the adoption of the Regulations. 3. Changes attributed to devolution were not fully appreciated at the time of initiation and needed
different strategies for implementation purposes.

CHAPTER FIVE: IMPLEMENTATION AND COORDINATION FRAMEWORK5.1 Introduction
This chapter presents an implementation mechanism and coordination framework for effective implementation and coordination of the strategic plan. This framework acknowledges the role of the authority’s organizational structures, departments, stakeholders and the general public in its execution. Innovativeness, team spirit and professionalism are key pillars in the implementation of this plan.
5.2 Strategic Plan Implementation Matrix
The strategic plan implementation matrix presented as Appendix 1 in this plan lays a strong foundation for the plan implementation. The matrix provides a five year plan for implementing the various activities that have been derived from the key result areas, their respective goals and strategic objectives. The matrix further provides the annual budget required by the authority to implement the planned activities. The matrix further, provides performance measurement indicators and expected outputs upon implementation of the plan.

Totals:
3,251 4,589 6,560 6,833 6,190The Sources of funding
Under Section 30 of theNational Construction Authority Act No. 41 of 2011, the authority’s funds are spelt as follows;
a) Government Funding
Section 30(a) of the Act stipulates that, parliament shall provide such income for the purposes of the authority. Therefore the authority strategy shall be to submit to parliament at least three months before the commencement of a financial year annual estimates for all estimated expenditure of the Authority for the financial year for parliament to approve and that annual expenditure will be factored in the Government’s annual budget.
b) Development Partners
The authority will implement resource mobilization strategies and partner with development partners in supporting the strategic plan initiatives.
c) Self-financing/Authority’s own sources
Section 31 of the Act, stipulates that the authority will impose necessary levies, charges or fees to raise monies for the authority. Therefore, the authority in this strategic plan has laid down strategies on how the levies and other fees will be mobilized.
d) Public Private Partnerships
The authority recognizes the valuable support so far received and still expected from stakeholders in the implementation of this plan. This will be through participation in programming and information sharing platforms. Though these resources are non- financial, they impact on the implementation of the plan in the construction industry. The authority reiterates to enhance collaboration and implement projects under the Private Public Partnership framework.
6.2 Accountability
The authority recognizes the role of accountability and commitment as valuable aspects for the successful implementation of this strategy. The entire authority, from the board through to the lower cadre of staff has adequately and actively participated in the formulation of this strategic plan. This reinforces the accountability and commitment that is crucial on their part as drivers and implementers entrusted with the responsibility of implementing the plan.
At the board level, the board may form an SP Implementation sub-committee that will seek accountability and commitment from the ED on the implementation of the plan. This subcommittee will report to the
Strategic Plan 2015-2020 : Transforming the Construction Industry
35
board, further reinforcing the accountability and commitment not only at the board level, but also from the ED to the board.
At the management level, the ED is responsible for the day-to-day implementation, monitoring, and evaluation of plan. The execution of this vital role by the board will be coordinated by the department of Corporate Strategy. The coordinating department will provide critical information to the ED, on the implementation of the plan at the management level in which accountability and responsibility is bestowed on.
6.3 Enhancing Staff Capacity for Plan implementation
The current staffing level at the Authority is seventy three (73) persons, a number that is insufficient to successfully implement the Plan and its expansive roles and responsibilities. Achievement of the Plan will in part be pegged on increasing the staffing levels to an optimal number that shall eventually be present in all the counties.
For the Authority to position itself to achieve its mandate, the following will be done; • Enhance capacity building for its staff
• Develop and implement a recruitment plan. • Develop and implement a human resource plan.
• Provide competitive terms and conditions of service, and
• Develop and implement attractive career path guidelines and schemes of service.
In order to have motivated workforce, the Authority shall;
• Develop and implement an effective performance management system • Develop and implement internal incentive systems
• Establish talent management systems, and • Improve the working environment.
Therefore, employees will report results of their work to their respective managers/sectional heads to enable management to track performance and facilitate effective decision making.
6.4 Risk Assessment for the Plan
The plan has taken a deliberate effort to assess the various risks the plan may run into. All the risks will be considered and measures put in place to mitigate them as shown below.

CHAPTER 7: MONITORING AND EVALUATION OF THE PLAN 7.1 Introduction
This chapter highlights the process the implementation and coordination framework mechanism will use to critically assess the progress made in the implementation of the plan with a view of either taking corrective measures or sustaining the positive trends in the implementation process.
7.2 Context of Monitoring and Evaluation of the Plan Monitoring
This is an important part of strategy implementation that involves taking a periodic look at "how the plan is going." This helps to assure that the authority’s efforts conform to the plan, the plan is accomplishing what was intended to accomplish, allows corrective action in case of deviation, encourages improved performance and provides the essential link between the written plan and the day-to-day activities.
Monitoring Mechanism
Monitoring implementation of the strategic plan shall constitute systematic tracking of activities and actions to assess progress. Progress will measured against specific targets and schedules included in the Plan.
Evaluation
This involves reviewing the success and failures of the plan. The authority, through the ED at the management level with assistance from Corporate Strategy Department will undertake mid- term review the plan before the end of the 3rd year plan implementation and shortly before the end of the plan.
Evaluation Mechanism This will entail:
• Measuring actual performance against set target levels in terms of outputs and outcomes, and establishing any variation(s) in performance;
Strategic Plan 2015-2020 : Transforming the Construction Industry
38
• Identifying and recommending appropriate remedial measures including a review of objectives and/or strategies.
7.3 Rationale for Monitoring, Evaluation and Reporting
The successful implementation of this strategic plan will depend significantly on how effectively the planned activities and outputs and outcomes are monitored and evaluated. Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) will provide an avenue for tracking progress and inform decision making for accountability, effective service delivery, resource allocation and policy direction.
7.4 Monitoring and Evaluation Mechanisms
The Corporate Strategy department shall act as the internal consultant to assist other departments in preparing consistent, concise and informative reports prior to presentation.
7.4.1 Progress Reports
The monthly and quarterly reports by heads of departments will describe actions taken towards achieving specific outcomes and strategies of the plan and will include costs, benefits, performance measures and progress.
The nature and scope of reporting will include; • Progress made against the plan • Causes of deviation from plan
• Areas of difficulty and alternative solutions to problems that may adversely affect implementation
7.4.2 Performance Management Systems (PMS)
This system will be put into place to improve the effectiveness of the M&E system. This will help integrate performance in a manner to enable immediate determination of impediments to success.
7.4.3 The Action Plan Matrix
This will help the users to remain alert to any short-falls or deviations and take early corrective action. Effective monitoring helps to identify difficulties and problem areas, and to take immediate remedial action, thereby ensuring that the relevant targets are achieved. Regular reporting at all levels is necessary for follow-up and record keeping.
7.4.4 Detailed annual work plans
Each department will develop detailed annual work plans with clear performance indicators and assigned responsibilities for their achievement. Key indicators that will inform management decision making will be
Strategic Plan 2015-2020 : Transforming the Construction Industry
39
identified and the frequency of reporting on these indicators will be determined. This will form the foundation of the M&E system.
7.4.5 Regular review meetings
These meetings will be held at the departmental, management and board levels. They will be scheduled to ensure implementation is on track. The overall oversight of the Strategic Plan and its implementation is a critical role of the Management executed by the relevant department. Therefore progress reporting will be an agenda item in all these meetings.
