dc.description.abstract | The 2021 County Fiscal Strategy Paper (CFSP) is the fourth prepared in the
implementation of the County Integrated Development Plan (CIDP) 2018-22 in
realization of the County aspiration of “prosperity for all”. It outlines the current
state of the economy with respect to the County, provides macro-fiscal outlook over
the medium term and specifies the set strategic priorities and policy goals together
with a summary of Government spending plans, as a basis for the FY 2021/22 budget
and medium term.
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. | en |
