Siaya County Integrated Development Plan 2018-2022

Abstract

The unveiling of the second County Integrated Development Plan (CIDP) 2018-2022 marks an important milestone in our county development as it comes soon after the successful implementation of the first CIDP whose theme was to ‗‘Transform Siaya through: socioeconomic empowerment, agribusiness and infrastructural development’’ over the period 2013 to-date. Indeed, the last five years represent the foundation phase of sustained economic development in our county in all sectors of the economy notably; agriculture, infrastructure, wholesale and retail trade the social Sectors of health, education and social security as well as ICT. The plan will be implemented through annual development plans, annual work-plans and medium-term rolling budgets, with the first one covering the period 2018-2019. Thus, the performance of the government should in future be gauged on the basis of these medium term benchmarks. The preparation of this Plan is anchored in the Constitution of Kenya, 2010; the County Governments Act, 2012; and the Public Finance Management Act, 2012. While preparing the plan a broad cross-section of the population was involved through public participation fora and submission of memoranda‘s in the month of February 2018. This formed part of the inputs that went into the final document as required by law. The Plan therefore, reflects the aspirations of the government and that of the people of Siaya
