| dc.description.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 | en_US |
