Kisii County Intergrated Development Plan 2018-2022 This County Integrated Development Plan is the second publication produced by Kisii County Government. It is the medium-term county development blueprint and is motivated by a collective aspiration for prosperity for all by the end of the Plan period. According to Kenya Integrated Household Survey (2018), Kisii County has one of the highest age dependency ratios in the country of 84.7 percent compared to national average of 81.6 percent and a poverty level of 44.5 percent against the national figure of 32 percent. The aspiration of this Plan is to improve the livelihood of the County residents through investments in key priority areas that generate sustainable employment most rapidly, and provide more income-generating opportunities for the unemployed youthful population so as to contribute to the realization of the County’s vision of creating a prosperous County with a high quality of life for its residents. The Plan has been carefully prepared and informed by the Kenya Vision 2030 that aims to transform Kenya into ‘a newly industrializing, middle income country providing a high quality of life to all its citizens in a clean and secure environment’. Simultaneously, the Plan aspires to realize the SDGs goal of poverty eradication for county residents by 2030. Its implementation will be through annual work plans starting from the period 2018/2019 to 2022/2023.
