Bomet County Annual Development Plan 2025/2026

Abstract

The County Annual Development Plan (CADP) for the FY 2025/2026 has been prepared in accordance with Article 220(2) of the Constitution of Kenya and Section 126 of the Public Finance Management Act, 2012. This plan outlines the priority development programs and projects identified for implementation during the FY 2025/2026, aimed at addressing the development challenges facing the County to achieve its medium-term vision. The CADP is prepared annually as part of the implementation of the five-year County Integrated Development Plan (CIDP), which serves as the guiding development blueprint for the County for the period 2023-2027. The development of this plan was consultative, inclusive, and participatory, aligning with international, regional, national, and county development agendas, including the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), Vision 2030, its Medium-Term Plan IV, and the Governor’s Manifesto. Accordingly, the CADP identifies the County’s development objectives across all sectors and proposes programs designed to meet these objectives. By reviewing the performance of the previous year, this plan provides a critical analysis of the gains that need to be consolidated and outlines strategies for addressing the challenges encountered in future plans. This document will guide the Medium-Term Expenditure Framework budgeting process for the financial year 2025/2026, including the preparation of the County Fiscal Strategy Paper, 2025, and ultimately the budget estimates for FY 2025/2026. It is important to note that the County Government's resource basket remains insufficient to finance all the projects and programs proposed in the CADP. Therefore, to bridge the funding gaps and achieve the development aspirations of the people of Bomet, there is a need for resource mobilization by identifying and engaging development partners and other stakeholders, as well as enhancing own-source revenue collection.
