| dc.description.abstract | The 2021 County fiscal strategy paper (CFSP) sets out the priority programs that need to be
implemented by Mandera County Government over the next MTEF period 2021/22. The programs
and policies will reflect the concerns of Mandera people and are in line with the second County
Integrated Development Plan (CIDP), Governor’s manifesto, the National Government’s ‘BIG
FOUR’ agenda and the Kenya Vision 2030. The paper is also aligned with the national objectives
contained in the Budget Policy Statement (BPS 2021). The 2021 CFSP comes at the mid stage of the
County Integrated Development Plan covering the period 2018-2022.
In this regard, the policy goals, priority programs and fiscal framework are aligned to support
achievement of the objectives of the Second CIDP and ultimately the Vision 2030. The expenditure
priorities are set to ensure that they are in accordance with the County Government strategic
priorities. In addition, the County has already initiated a number of revenue reforms and will
continue to invest in technology geared towards automating additional revenue streams. These
reforms are expected to make revenue payment more convenient and increase Own Source of
Revenue, which will help in financing County Budgets. As we finalize preparation of the budget for
the FY 2021/22, we are clearly conscious of our limited fiscal space occasioned by revenue shortfalls
and rising expenditure pressures. | en |
