Kericho County Integrated Development Plan 2018-2022

Abstract

Kericho County Integrated Development Plan (CIDP) 2018-2022 outlines policies, programs and projects for implementation in my second term administration aimed at continuing transforming lives of our citizen. It succeeds the First CIDP 2013-2017 and carries forward the programs and projects that were not completed. It also outlines flagship projects and other priority programs and projects that were identified through a consultative process and aligned to the Governor‘s Manifesto; Kenya Vision 2030, the Third MTP, Sustainable Development Goals, Africa Union Agenda 2063, other regional and international cooperation frameworks and the national Government transformative agenda, ―The Big Four‖ initiatives. During CIDP 2013-2017 period, several milestones were realized. We made commendable progress in improving our road network where we opened up 2,417 km of rural roads and linked our villages through construction of bridges. Our health service facilities were expanded and equipped with necessary equipment for treatment and early detection of diseases. The Public Service Board and Department of Public Service Management supported other departments in terms of recruitment, capacity building and management of staff for efficient service delivery. To supplement allocation from national government, the county implemented key strategies for increased revenue collection that grew from Kshs.351million in FY2013/2014 to Kshs. 412 million in FY 2016/2017.Other achievements included automation of county services, carrying out physical planning in our sub-county headquarters and towns, promotion of trade, industrialization and cooperative movement, conservation of water, the environment among others.
