Vihiga County Annual Development Plan 2025/2026

Abstract

The County Annual Development Plan (C-ADP) 2025/26 was prepared in line with the Constitution of Kenya (CoK 2010), the County Government Act 2012 and the PFMA 2012. The CoK in Article 220(2) (a) states that “national legislation shall prescribe the structure of development plans and budgets. The County Government Act, 2012 Sections 104, 105 and 108 provides that county governments prepare integrated development plan that has linkages with the national planning framework and with meaningful engagement of citizens. Section 104(1) further stipulates that no public funds shall be appropriated outside a planning framework. Meanwhile, the PFMA, 2012 in Section 126 further requires county governments to prepare the ADP and be submitted for approval to the county assembly not later than 1st September of each year. In addition, the Plan has been aligned to the CIDP 2023-27, Kenya Vision 2030 in the Fourth Medium Term Plan (MTP IV 2023-2027), The Bottom-up Economic Transformation Agenda (BETA), the Africa Agenda 2063, Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the East African Community Agenda 2050. The C-ADP was prepared through extensive consultative process that involved Sector Working Groups (SWGs), the County Executive, County Budget and Economic Forum (CBEF), the County Assembly, county consultative fora and the general public at large. The Plan builds on gains made in the implementation of policies, programmes and projects in the 1ST and 2nd ADP implementing the CIDP 2023-2027.
