Siaya County Annual Development Plan 2019/2020

Abstract

This is the second plan in a series of Annual Development Plans to be implemented during the 2018-2022 plan period. 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 Siaya through: socioeconomic empowerment, agribusiness and infrastructural 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.
