| dc.description.abstract | This County Spatial Plan is the first of its kind for Siaya under the new Constitution of Kenya,
2010, which created the 47 county governments Siaya being one of them. The Plan is a
strategic vision that defines the general trend and direction of spatial development for the
county, covering the entire thirty Wards in the six Sub counties; Gem, Ugenya, Ugunja, Alego,
Bondo and Rarieda. It is a ten (10) years term Plan spanning the period from 2018 to 2028. The
preparation of the County Spatial Plan is a requirement under the County Government Act,
2012 which provides for all County Governments in Kenya to prepare and implement county
spatial plans.
The County Spatial Plan has been prepared within the existing legal and policy frameworks
and International treaties. The Sustainable Development Goals, County Government Act, the
Urban Areas & Cities Act & the Physical Planning Act (Cap 286) guided the preparation of the
Plan and give it requisite legitimacy. Policies that espouse the broad objectives of the National
Government and the County Government within given sectors provide the principles that put
them into effect. These are: Sustainable Development Goals, Kenya Vision 2030, National
Spatial Plan, The National Land Policy and the National Urban Development Policy. | en_US |
