Nyandarua County Fiscal Strategy Paper 2016

Abstract

TOne of the key stages in the county budget cycle is the preparation of the County Fiscal Strategy Paper (CFSP). This is an annual paper that shows the various fiscal strategies a County Government intends to employ to meet its overall objective of improving the livelihoods of its citizens. As a build-up on the County Budget Review and Outlook Paper (CBROP) 2015 which analysed the performance in the 2014/2015 financial year’s budget, scanned the current year’s fiscal environment and provided an outlook for the 2016/2017 and the medium term, this CFSP shows the allocation of resources in all sectors and programmes. Key considerations in all the sectors are the priorities as put forth in the CIDP 2013-2017 and the ADP for the 2016/17 FY. In ensuring fulfilment of the 2016/17 budget aspirations, whose theme is “Achieving sustained development and economic empowerment of the people”, the following pillars will need to be addressed:a) Continuous Improvement of the Infrastructural facilities within the county; b) Investing in quality and accessible health care services and quality education; c) Offering quality and accessible services to the people; d) Improvement in resource mobilization for sustained development; and e) Tapping the under exploited and unexploited resources.
