The Third County Annual Development Plan (CADP) is an upshot of the first County Integrated Development Plan (CIDP). The Plan will be guided by the CIDP which seeks to transform Lamu County into a prosperous and competitive county in economic, social and political development offering high quality services to its people. Its short term development strategy will endeavour to move the County economy towards a growth trajectory to achieve a high and sustainable economic growth rate throughout the CIDP implementation period. The annual plan prioritized policies, Programmes and Projects to jump-start the economy and achieve shared prosperity. The plan has been prepared in the spirit of the Constitution and complies with national legislation requiring that allocation of resources by both levels of government be on the basis of plans and hence it sets out the development agenda and budget over the next one year as it documents the aspirations of the citizens of Lamu County and allocation of resources to ensure these aspirations are attained. The CADP implements the first CIDP which has been prepared after extensive consultations with the stakeholders in every Ward of the County. It is indeed a document of the people of Lamu County. I therefore call upon all the people of Lamu County to commit themselves to the pursuit of successful plan implementation and to play their key role in the implementation of this plan so that we move forward to the future as a united and prosperous County.
