Nyandarua County Annual Development Plan 2021/2022

Abstract

The County Government has been implementing the Social Economic Transformative Agenda as encapsulated in the County Integrated Development Plan 2 (2018-2022). This is done through the Annual Development Plans (ADP). The ADP preparation process is guided by Section 126 of the Public Finance Management Act, 2012, and in accordance with Article 220 (2) of the Constitution. The ADP 2021/22 is the fourth under the CIDP 2 Blueprint of the Current Regime. The CADP 2021/22 preparation entailed identification of the programmes and sectoral priorities in line with all the County and National Development Blueprints including the Governor’s Manifesto, Sectoral Plans, Sustainable Development Goals, Agenda 2063, Presidential Big Four Agenda, among others. It is also cognizant of emergent issues such as the COVID-19 pandemic. The County resource allocation criteria is based on the County resource endowments, prioritization of ongoing and high impact projects. In ensuring a representative Government, the Nyandarua citizenry and stakeholders were asked to submit their proposals for consideration and inclusion in the FY 2021/22 ADP through a Daily Nation advert dated 12th August 2020 and a further upload in the County website for general viewing and guide. Consequently, the identified programmes require Kshs. 8,079.36 Million to implement. The ripple effects of the COVID-19 pandemic are projected to affect the implementation of the ADP FY 2021/22 and beyond. As such, strategic measures will need to be employed to ensure that the County absorbs the expected economic shocks. It is therefore requisite that the County develops a County Recovery Stimulus Programme and mobilize resources from Development Partners, invest in productive and social sectors, among others.
