Busia County integrated Development plan 2023-2027

Abstract

The County Government Act, 2012, Section 104 and 108, obligates counties to develop a County Integrated Development Plan (CIDP) setting up planning units at all county administrative levels. It further seeks to promote public participation and engagement by non-state actors in county planning processes. In fulfillment of aforementioned requirements, the County Government of Busia has developed its 3rd generation CIDP for 2023- 2027 that is instrumental in linking policy, planning and budgeting as required by the Constitution 2010 and other legislation. This County Integrated Development Plan (CIDP) outlines processes through which various efforts at national and devolved levels of government and other relevant public institutions are coordinated at local level to bring economic, social, environmental, legal and spatial aspects of development together to meet the needs and targets set for the benefit of local communities. The guidelines for preparation of the Third-Generation County Integrated Development Plans, 2023 – 2027 provided requisite norms and standards for preparation of the 3rd generation CIDPs to ensure uniformity across all counties. The guidelines were expected to strengthen mechanisms for linking county policies, planning and budgeting processes. The CIDP 2023-2027 preparation guidelines also considered lessons learnt from implementation of previous 2nd generations of CIDPs as well as emerging issues and challenges. The county development priorities, strategies and Programmes and projects were identified by the stakeholders in the county. The process was carried out in a participatory manner and entailed extensive stakeholder consultations, receipt of written memoranda and involvement of key stakeholders. The projects and programmes will be implemented during 2023-2027 period.
