Baringo National Polytechnic<\/a> (BNP) is a tertiary (middle-level) institution established on a 17-acre land off the Kabarnet \u2013 Tenges Road 6 Km from Kabarnet Town, in Baringo County. BNP is established under the TVET Act of 2013. The College\u2019s operations are carried out in accordance with Government policies and procedures as spelt out in legal and regulatory documents as well as other official documents and circulars. The implementation of programs in the institution takes into cognizance existing national and international legal and policy guidelines, for instance the Constitution of Kenya 2010,<\/em> Sustainable Development Goals<\/em> (SDGs) and national policies on Industrialization by the Year 2020<\/em>, the Kenya Vision 2030<\/em>, the Big Four Agenda<\/em> and the Medium Term Plan III<\/em> (MTP III), among others. It is geared towards playing a significant and leading role in the fulfilment of its mandate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The construction of the initial physical facilities of the Baringo Technical College was based on funds collected through a fund raising drive involving civil servants, teachers, farmers and other members of the community. Because there was no board or committee to manage and supervise the project, the provincial administration managed the project on behalf of Stakeholders. The piece of land on which this college stands is part of the small Kabereke\/Kamgoin Forest. In order to promote environmental protection, clan elders living within the neighbourhood acted as trustees and managers of the forest and land.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1982 Baringo Central community elders and the local leaders met the second President of the Republic of Kenya, Daniel Toroitich Arap Moi to present their request to expand the acreage of the College by acquiring land from neighbors. He accepted their proposal and gave orders for a land compensation plan. The construction of the College subsequently began in 1985 but slowed and stopped intermittently due to lack of funds. It was not until September 2012 that the College opened its doors for the first batch of 9 students getting admission in January 2013. It was later this year 2024 April elevated to national polytechnic status.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
