The Kisii economy has performed well since inception of devolution largely due to massive investment in infrastructure and productive sectors, the contribution of the County to the country’s GDP is estimated at 2.1 percent. However, the growth momentum was slowed in 2020 when the COVID-19 strake in Kenya. This Paper is, therefore, prepared against a background of a contracting economy occasioned by the COVID-19 containment measures put in place by both National and County Governments which have disrupted businesses and livelihoods.
