Siaya County Annual Development Plan 2018/2019

Abstract

This is the first plan in a series of Annual Development Plans to be implemented during the 2018- 2022 plan period. It is a transition plan from the 2013/17 CIDP to the 2018-2022 one and its preparation has been informed by the need to provide linkage between the two sets of planning documents. Priority programmes and projects captured in this plan have therefore been carefully designed to build on the gains made from implementing the first CIDP while focusing ahead. These programmes and projects when successfully implemented will feed into the broader agenda of ‘Transforming the county economy through infrastructure and socio-economic development”. Development planning is a critical concept to organizations and the County Government of Siaya is no exception. It is premised on the reality of scarce resources and the need to therefore select key programmes and projects for implementation in any fiscal year out of the many development aspirations that may prevail at that time. It is out of the realization of the critical nature of this concept that it was included in various legal instruments in the country. The preparation of the Annual Development Plan is particularly provided for under section 126(3) of the PFM Act 2012 that among other things requires the County Executive Committee Member responsible for planning to not later than 1 st September of each year submit the Annual Development Plan to the County Assembly for approval.
