West Pokot County Annual Development Plan 2021/2022

Abstract

This Annual Development Plan presents the County Government priorities, proposals and development programmes for financial year 2021/2022. The FY 2021/22 – 2023/24 MTEF budget will be anchored on the county government’s economic and transformation agenda as enshrined in the Governor’s Manifesto, the County Integrated Development Plan (2018-2022), and the third Medium Term Plan of Kenya Vision 2030. The manifesto is premised on the 3E’s pillar framework of Education, Equity and Economy for sustainable, inclusive development and shared prosperity. The Financial Year 2021/22 will see a change of priorities with the 3E’s getting more attention. Agriculture and livestock sub- sectors will also remain to be a major priority area for the county as it is a mainstay of the county economy. Health sector still has a lot of challenges and more resources will be channeled to restructure the healthcare delivery system and also shift the emphasis to “preventive care in order to lower to reduce disease burden and mortality rates’’. The plan takes into account the strategic priorities for the medium term that reflects the county government's priorities and plans and the ever changing financial and economic environment. The desired outcome of this plan is alleviation of the high poverty levels and to stimulate job creation and wealth for the county residents.
