Busia County Integrated Development Plan 2013-2017

Abstract

The rationale for preparing the Busia County Integrated Development Plan (CIDP) is based on the participatory approach. A number of consultative meetings were held at all levels in the County including: wards, sub-counties, county and at the national level with professionals in the Diaspora. Overall, there is need to improve the livelihoods of the people of Busia County and help them realize their socio- economic and environmental potentials by mobilizing and equitably distributing resources and providing supportive and enabling policy and legal environments for the Sustainable development and a green economy. For us to be in sync with the Results Based Management (RBM) development approach, the driving force for the public service delivery, the County Government of Busia shall sign and uphold Performance Contracts across its composition and functional areas; geared towards realization of C.I.D.P Strategic Policy Thrusts. The main focus will now be to activate periodic reviews of C.I.D.P implementation. This will also include mid-term evaluation for necessary development reorientations. After requisite publication of the plans, the government will hasten the dissemination to lower levels including the wards. This will be an opportune time to reinforce identity and ownership of the plans as well as apportion responsibilities towards their implementation.
