Siaya County Fiscal Strategy Paper 2018

Abstract

This is the first Fiscal Strategy Paper to implement the CIDP 2018-2022. Priority programmes to be implemented during FY 2018/2019 are drawn from the Annual Development Plan 2018/19 and are aimed at consolidating the gains made in the four broad pillars of: (i) social transformation through investment in healthcare services, education, youth, culture and social services; (ii) improvement of governance and administration through investment in devolution structures for effective service delivery; (iii) transformation of county infrastructure, housing, energy and communication through Investment in road network and ICT services; and (iv) agricultural and industrial transformation for improved food security through investment in crop production, fisheries and livestock production. Progress has been made in most sectors since the establishment of the County Government of Siaya in March 2013. Several projects have been implemented in agriculture, infrastructure; education, youth and culture; trade and health sectors, which have resulted in improved agricultural production, expanded road network and accessibility and expanded social care amongst others. To improve on the gains made this far and push service delivery to greater heights, the theme of the previous fiscal strategy paper: “Transforming County Economy through Infrastructure and Socio-Economic Development” has been sustained.
