Busia County is a county in the former Western Province of Kenya, on the border with Uganda. The county seat and its largest town is Busia, which sits opposite the Ugandan border town of the same name, and the county also borders Lake Victoria to the southwest, Siaya County to the southeast and Bungoma and Kakamega counties to the east. It is divided into six sub-counties and recorded a population of 893,681 at the 2019 census, most of it ethnically Luhya with substantial Luo and Iteso communities. Busia is also known in development economics as the site of one of the first successful randomized controlled trials, a school-based deworming programme begun in 1994 that inspired the Deworm the World Initiative. Rivers including the Nzoia and the Sio pour into Lake Victoria.
