dc.description.abstract | The 2019 Kisumu County Fiscal Strategy Paper (CFSP) is the second in the County’s plan
period 2018-2022. This paper highlights the legal framework underlying the fiscal responsibility
for the County Government while reviewing the recent economic development. It specifies the
strategic priorities and policy goals that will guide the County government in preparing its
budget for the Financial Year 2019/20.
This CFSP builds on the gains made in key sectors at early stages of the second-generation
County Integrated Development Plan (2018-2022). In this respect, the policy goals, priority
programs and fiscal framework are aligned to support achievement of the objectives of CIDP II,
Medium Term Plan III and ultimately the Vision 2030. The County government will certainly
augment economic transformation by strengthening the government’s service delivery and
performance management system, supported by solid planning and budgeting. In terms of
programmes, the focus will be on agricultural productivity and food security, institutional
strengthening and capacity building, enhanced resilience, adaptive capacity and access to clean
and safe household water, skills development, business incubation and innovation support
services. In addition, priority will be given to development enablers such as business
environment infrastructure. | en |
