Tharaka Nithi County Annual Development Plan 2024/2025

Abstract

The County Budget calendar entails the formulation, approval, implementation, and review of the county priorities. The counties are required to prepare their Integrated Development Plans for five successive years. The law is clear that no project should be in the budget that is not derived from county plans. The ADP is a good opportunity for the County government to firm up the proposals in the CIDP (5-year plan) and give specifics as to which sectors and particular programmes are prioritized each FY. The 2024/25 FY ADP will be the second one in the implementation of the Third Generation CIDP 2023-2027. The county planning is integrated across sectors and includes key cross cutting issues including green growth issues, emerging global challenges, and environmental and social safeguards. More so, the county plans should promote the Kenya Vision 2030 aspiration of making Kenya a globally competitive and prosperous Nation, with a high quality of life for all citizens by 2030. Chapter one of CADP provides a short description of the county in terms of the location; size; demographic profiles; administrative and political units. It also highlights a summary of the socio-economic and infrastructural information that has a bearing on the development of the county. This chapter also gives the county’s broad priorities and strategies as per the CIDP that will be implemented during the FY 2024/25 plan period. It further gives a summary of the ADP formulation process.
