Some of the benefit of having a municipality?
Access to Kenya Urban Roads Authority (KURA) roads’ infrastructure funding, to which the County is a contributor through the fuel levy but not an automatic beneficiary. Only gazetted municipalities benefit from this fund.
Access to international funding administered in Kenya such as the Kenya Urban Support Programs (KUSP), which is only accessible to municipalities.
Globally, the world is structured in such a manner that it recognizes the special challenges faced by urban areas. Subsequently, funds have been set apart by global institutions such as the World Bank, BHC/FCDO the European Union, JICA, USAID, UKAID, the UN and virtually all others only accessible to gazetted urban entities such as cities, municipalities and towns.
EMS/FIRE COMPETITION
ISIOLO FIRE AND RESCUE SERVICES TRIUMPHS SECOND BEST IN KENYA
Isiolo County triumphs second best in Kenya, in the just concluded Emergency Medical Services/ FIRE Competitions 2022. The fire/EMS competition attracted over 300 fire, emergency and rescue practitioners. Kenya Council of Emergency Medical Technicians, Chief Fire Officers Association - Kenya, Africa Fire Mission and other partners attended the EMS FIRE Symposium and Competitions 2022.
This year’s THEME: “TOWARDS GROWING EFFECTIVE AND EFFICIENT EMERGENCY RESCUE AND RESPONSE TEAMS”. The symposium is aimed at training participants on effective emergency preparedness and response. The competition took place at Kenya Airports Authority training school at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport.
The EMS and FIRE Symposium and competition 2022 is an interdisciplinary platform that brings together international, national and county governments and other key stakeholders to discuss, share, learn and demonstrate knowledge and skills as teams in emergency care especially around fire rescue and pre-hospital patient care.
The symposium is an outstanding opportunity to gather, engage in continuous medical education and get updated in emerging trends in emergency management globally. It will also create a platform for building stronger strategic partnerships by enhancing networking amongst key actors in the sector including emergency response practitioners, corporates, entrepreneurs, medical and clinical personnel and the general public on the shared common good. It will promote policy dialogue and regulatory coherence for emergency response in Kenya and spur research and innovation towards addressing Kenya’s challenges.
The symposium is an excellent platform for promoting public participation in the important matter of emergency response. It will provide an opportunity for policymakers from national and county governments, researchers, academia, emergency care providers in the public and private sector, regulators and associations to interact with the challenges in the industry first hand. The symposium will allow county governments’ bench mark with the best practice that will enable set up EMS teams. It will allow interagency joint training that will ease response as the responders will be familiar with the each other and the structure of ICS.
