| dc.description.abstract | The County Spatial Development Plan is an output
of a lengthy planning process, incorporating
detailed literature review, comprehensive field
surveys and robust engagements with local
stakeholders through sub-county-specific
forums, various meetings with the broad based
stakeholders, starting from the households level,
stratified groups, political leadership, county
executives and MCAs, and technical review
forums incorporating both National and County
planning technocrats.
This County Spatial Development Plan was
not prepared in a vacuum but build upon
the aspirations of previous integrated visions
and resultant plans. The CSDP is prepared
within national constitution, policies, legal and
institutional context. The 2010 constitution
created devolved planning and development units
with entrenched public participation in all the
process while the Kenya Vison 2030 envisages a
sustained average growth of 10% per annum over
the next two decades.
The planning process took cognizance of other
policies and legislations in place as guidelines for
spatial development such as the draft National
Spatial Plan, National Land Policy 2009, the
Industrialization Strategy and the County
Integrated Development Plan (2013 -2017).
Various Acts within whose regimes this plan has
been prepared include the County Government
Act, 2012; The Physical Planning Act, Cap
286; Urban Areas and Cities Act; Environment
Management and Coordination Act; Water Act;
Land Act; National Land Commission Act; Forest
Act chapter 385; and the Special Economic
Zones Act. Bungoma County Government as an
institutions to oversight the implementation and
