Vihiga County Integrated Transport Policy 2015

Abstract

As we commence the implementation of County’s Development Strategy as outlined in the County Integrated Development Plan, the county positions itself into the promising future through consolidating, enhancing and sustaining the gains made since inception of devolution. The transport sector is recognized as a key pillar and a critical enabler in the achievement of the development aspirations for County Government of Vihiga. A robust and efficient transport sector will not only be important in improving the competitiveness of products from the County and the region, but also serve as a significant basis upon which the economic, social and political pillars of the development strategy will be built. Further, the sector is expected to remain a key component in tackling such challenges as reduction of poverty by half by the year 2015 and overall improvement in the general welfare of the population.
