Homa Bay County Integrated Development Plan 2018-2022

Abstract

Homa Bay County Integrated Development Plan (CIDP) 2018-2022, being the second CIDP for the County, has been prepared by a secretariat consisting of County Executive Committee members and technical officers drawn from various sub-sectors led by the County Economic Advisor. The team was guided by the County Integrated Development Planning Guidelines provided by the Ministry of Devolution and Planning. The guidelines contained clear and explicit formats and frameworks for collection, collation, validation and organization of information provided in this CIDP. In preparing this document, the secretariat made reference to the Homa Bay County’s Governor’s Manifesto, the first Homa Bay County Integrated Development Plan (CIDP 2013-2017), Homa Bay County Development Profile 2013, Strategic Urban Development Plan for Homa Bay Municipality 2008-2030, Lake Region Economic Block Blueprint, report of the MTEF Budget Making Consultations 2018-2022, report of the Third MTP Consultations 2018-2022, report of the County Budget Consultations 2013-2017, the resultant approved budgets, reports of the Sectorial Meetings and reports from the Public feedback through Public Participation for the CIDP. All these documents were prepared with invaluable inputs from various development stakeholders in the county. The secretariat also borrowed from the results of the Kenya's 2009 Population and Housing Census and from relevant publications and other sources. Cognizance was made of the fact that the CIDP would form the basis on which the County Government of Homa Bay would institute appropriate measures and develop budgets for the development of Homa Bay County.
