Garissa County Integrated Development Plan 2023-2027

Abstract

The Third County Integrated Development Plan (2023-2027) is a positive step by the County Government of Garissa in addressing the many underlying challenges facing the residents of Northern Kenya and more so in Garissa County. Issues of Garissa are multifaceted which calls for coherent and comprehensive CIDP. This CIDP therefore, sets out the road map that will direct the future course of Garissa County. It articulates the mission, vision, strategic goals and objectives as well as the strategies that the county government intends to follow in the next five years. The goal of the County Government of Garissa is to help develop a county where its residents wake up daily knowing that they have access to resources, services and opportunities and can make positive contribution to society. The CIDP is a product of Programme-based consultative process in each of the 30 wards which brought together a cross-section of key stakeholders within the County. It has been prepared within the backdrop of the Kenya Vision 2030, the Fourth Medium Term Plan 2023-2027, the constitution of Kenya 2010 and in line with the Sustainable Development Goals. During the formative stages of developing the draft version of the Garissa CIDP in 2022, the National Office for Economic Development Coordination Directorate of the Ministry of Devolution and Planning provided the overall guidelines and was responsible for formulation of County Planning Handbook and related guidelines in collaboration with the Council of Governors.
