Nyamira County Fiscal Strategy Paper 2017

Abstract

The County Fiscal Strategy Paper 2017/2018 articulates economic policies and sector priority programs that the County intends to implement in the remaining part of the 2013-2017 CIDP as outlined in the departmental strategic plans and their respective annual work plans that are anchored in the County government‘s economic blue print. The overarching objective of the CFSP is to consolidate our past achievements and take cognizance of implementing challenges in the past four years as we identify opportunities and strategies for the realization of Kenya Vision 2030. The strategy paper lays a foundation for development of cottage industries, value adding processes, agribusinesses, infrastructure development and improvement, training and capacity building, youth empowerment and innovation, among other initiatives, that will eventually transform the Nyamira economy to the next level. Therefore, the county government of Nyamira is focused on developing policies and legislations that will attract and retain investments, capital and skilled manpower; promote security and social cohesion that are prerequisites for socio-economic growth and development. The realization of this strategy is premised on the support of other arms of the county and national governments in particular, passing legislation, playing oversight role, promoting inter-governmental relations, enhancing public participation, civic education, monitoring and evaluation, recruitment, training and retention of skilled manpower, private public partnerships, among others.
