Kilifi County Integrated Development Plan 2018-2022

Abstract

The County Integrated Development Plan (CIDP) 2018-2022 presents the people of Kilifi another opportunity to build on the gains registered under my first term. This five-year Plan provides a development roadmap for the County for the period between 2018 and 2022. It outlines the consensus on programmes and projects that the County Government and its partners are committed to implement during the plan period. Anchored on national policy and plans as well as international development agenda, this Plan is also informed by my manifesto, aspirations of Jumuia ya Kaunti za Pwani and above all the collective dream of the people of Kilifi County. Based on the requirements of the Constitution of Kenya, 2010 and its implementation laws, particularly the County Government Act, 2012; the Public Finance Management (PFM) Act, 2012, and Inter-Governmental Relations Act, 2012, this CIDP has been developed in a participatory, multistakeholder approach. It is, therefore, a compendium of aspirations reflective of the diversity of interests characterizing this great County. Programmes and projects proposed in the Plan aim to address the challenges of water shortage, environmental degradation, unemployment among the youth, underexploited economic opportunities in agriculture, fisheries and livestock production; increasing production/productivity and value addition, exploitation of extractive mineral resources, infrastructural development (roads; energy and water, social amenities), health services and low education standards. The Plan pays primary focus on irrigation and food security, environmental management and protection, water resources management and sanitation, women and youth empowerment, children welfare and universal health care. The ultimate goal of the Plan is to create wealth by focusing the transformative agenda on the needs of people of Kilifi.
