Nakuru City County Annual Development Plan 2025/2026

Abstract

The ADP 2025/2026 was developed through a collaborative and inclusive process involving all stakeholders, including the public, organized groups, professionals, development partners, and investors. Public participation forums were held across all sub-counties, ensuring that the contributions of all stakeholders were reflected in the plan. This approach allowed for the identification of key programs and priorities that directly address the county's most pressing challenges and opportunities while ensuring that ongoing programs and projects are prioritized to achieve the set goals. This policy document focuses on prioritizing high-impact transformative programs, sectoral interventions, and flagship projects designed to enhance the well-being of Nakuru County citizens. It highlights the County Government's dedication to improving healthcare by upgrading health infrastructure and increasing access to quality services. The plan also: emphasizes boosting agricultural productivity, promoting agribusiness & value chain; expanding and maintaining road networks; and providing affordable, quality ECDE & VTC education through initiatives like the school feeding program and hiring sufficient teachers. Additionally, the plan stresses the importance of ensuring access to clean and safe water, promoting gender equity & inclusivity and creating a favourable environment for trade and sustainable economic growth. In collaboration with the National Government, the plan outlines Affordable Housing Programs and strategies for digitizing building plan approvals to prevent leakages. Moreover, the ADP aims at the integration of National, Regional, and International Development Frameworks. It intends to capitalize on strengths and opportunities while addressing challenges that slow the county's progress.
