Siaya County Integrated Development Plan 2013-2017

Abstract

Siaya county Integrated Development plan (CIDP) is the blueprint that will guide development in Siaya County for the period 2013-2017. The plan identifies the key projects and programmes that will be implemented by the county government and other development stakeholders during the plan period. This is the first CIDP which is a product of a broad based consultative process. The process brought together a cross-section of stakeholders within the county. Consultations were conducted at the county as well as the Sub County levels. The plan was prepared on the backdrop of the Kenya Vision 2030, the Second Medium Term Plan 2013-2017, the constitution of Kenya 2010 and the Millennium Development Goals. The CIDP articulates challenges and objectives which are translated into short term strategies, programmes and projects to be implemented under the Medium Term Expenditure Framework (MTEF). The latter is part of the financial reforms meant to strengthen financial discipline, accountability, efficiency and effective delivery of services to the people. The CIDP will guide the county towards achieving its vision of “A Model County Committed to Quality Service Delivery and Sustainable Development” through improvement of infrastructure, enhanced agriculture, and fisheries production. To achieve this, the government envisages strong partnerships and collaborations with the National government and other development partners. The main economic activities in the county include agriculture and fishing.
