Kilifi County Integrated Development Plan 2018-2022

Abstract

The County Integrated Development Plan (CIDP) 2018-2022 describes the County’s resource potential, its major development challenges and proposed programmes likely to deliver desired outcomes during the plan period. The CIDP 2018-2022 has the following six chapters: Chapter One provides county socio-economic information that has a bearing on the development of the county. Specifically, it gives a description of the county in terms of the location, size, physiographic and natural conditions, demographic features, as well as the administrative and political units, analyses the County’s resource potential and their utilization trends, human development indicators, major development challenges and indicative development strategies. Chapter Two examines the legal framework of the CIDP as stipulated by the Constitution of Kenya, 2010 and relevant legislation, notably: - County Government Act, 2012, Public Finance Management Act, 2012, Urban Areas and Cities Act, 2011 and Intergovernmental Relations Act, 2012, among others. Linkages between the County Integrated Development Plan (CIDP) 2018-2022 with regional development aspirations and national plans such as the Kenya Vision 2030 and its Medium Term Plans, National Spatial Plan as well as international agenda such as the African Union Agenda 2063, East African Community Vision 2050 and universal Sustainable Development Goals are also outlined. Chapter Three reviews the implementation of the previous CIDP 2013-2017, briefly analyzing the county revenue and expenditure trends by Sector/Subsector, key achievements, challenges and lessons learnt during implementation of the 5-year Plan. Chapter Four discusses the county spatial development framework with emphasis on resource endowment linkages with the theme and development strategies adopted in this Plan. The development strategies inform the programmes proposed for delivery of desired outcomes in each of the nine MTEF sectors adopted for this Plan. For each sector at least one strategic investment/ flagship project is proposed. Flagship projects are investments with high impact in terms of employment creation, increasing county competitiveness and revenue generation. They are derived from the county transformative agenda or Kenya Vision 2030 and, in the medium term, the national “big four agenda”. Chapter Five explains the institutional framework for the implementation of the CIDP, as well as analyze the resource needs of the Plan. A resource need of Kshs. 384B is indicated against a County Government revenue projection of Kshs. 75B. The chapter, thus, also discusses the Plan’s resource mobilization strategy. Chapter

Six presents the monitoring and evaluation framework that will guide tracking implementation of the Plan. It discusses the Plan Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) institutional structure, the data collection, analysis and reporting arrangements; and includes summary Tables of M&E outcome indicators for each sector.
