Kirinyaga County Integrated Development Plan 2018-2022

Abstract

This CIDP draws its development agenda from Vision 2030, the county’s Sessional Paper 2032 and the views of the public gathered during various public participation forums held in the four constituencies namely Mwea, Ndia, Gichugu and Kirinyaga Central in December 2017. The basis of the viii development of this CIDP is a departure from the previous model where development planning was done with little or no involvement of the intended beneficiaries. In essence, the inclusion of the public in development planning was created through the Constitution of 2010 which rightly recognized the important role that beneficiaries play in the determination of their destiny. As a County we have upheld this principle ad will continue to so uphold. This CIDP further takes cognizance of the fact that not all functions have been devolved as such there is a strategic need to leverage on the national government. As such, the county will not only partner with the national government in the realization of its development agenda as stipulated in this CIDP, but it will also partner with development partners as well as adapting a Public Private Partnership (PPP) approach in realizing select projects. The County will indeed synergize with the National Government to ensure that the county significantly contributes to the realization of Vision 2030 which is the priority of Kenya as at this time. Despite the scare resources due to the competing development needs of the county as stipulated in this CIDP, the County will endeavor to equitably allocate the available resources to ensure equitable development and redistribution of or the implementation of development projects. Through the application of wisdom, knowledge and the county will put in place effective and efficient monitoring and evaluation systems that will see to it that projects are implemented within the given timelines.
