Vihiga County Annual Development Plan 2019/2020

Abstract

This ADP reviews the county sector performances in the previous plan period and outlines programmes and projects the County Government seeks to implement in the financial year 2019/2020. A review of implementation of the previous plan shows that most sectors did not achieve their optimum performance mainly due to limited resources. The County Government continues to be constrained in resources to meet the increasing demand for service delivery from its citizenry. The increasing population and limited economic opportunities has compounded the problem. Donor commitments and Private Public Partnerships (PPPs) will be explored to bridge the gaps. The 2019/2020 ADP has embraced projects and programmes in the 2018-2022 CIDP, the Vision 2030 and other national and international commitments. Expansion of agricultural productivity, revitalization of industries, improved access to effective and efficient universal health care as well as development of affordable and decent housing will be prioritized as reflected in the big four agenda. Other priority target areas include programmes geared towards ensuring food security; provision of competitive technical and vocational skills, provision of reliable clean and safe water, environmental conservation and promotion of domestic tourism.
