This County Annual Development Plan is the first stage in the preparation of the County budget estimates for the FY 2021/22 and is the foundation for the Budget as provided for in the Public Finance Management Act, 2012. The Plan is organized in five chapters. It details the background information of the County in terms of size, physiographic, natural conditions and population profile. It also provides performance review of the ADP 2019/20 and comparison of ADP 2020/21 against approved budget of FY 2020/21. This Plan further presents sector strategic priorities, programs and projects and indicates the overall resource requirement for the FY 2021/22. Finally, the plan indicates how the projects and programs to be implemented during the planned period will be monitored and evaluated. Agriculture is the backbone of the county and accounts for 52% of the county GDP. The county has invested in dairy production, farm input subsidies and training of farmers on modern production technologies. To improve access to health services, the county is completing the construction and equipping County Teaching and Referral Hospital and upgrading other health facilities.
