Kilifi County Integrated Development Plan 2013-2017

Abstract

The Constitution of Kenya 2010 and the Kenya Vision 2030 and its Medium Term Plans provide the foundation for the preparation of the first County Integrated Developments Plans (CIDPs) for Kilifi County. The purpose of the CIDPs is to provide comprehensive information on infrastructural and socio-economic characteristics of the county so as to act as guide for resource mobilization and allocation of scarce resources to priority projects and programmes, as determined by the county. The county integrated development plan is divided into eight chapters. Chapter One: provides background description of the county in terms of its position and size, physiographic and natural conditions, demographic features, administrative divisions, as well as a summary of data essential for making informed choices while planning for development. Chapter Two: Outlines major development challenges facing the county. In addition, it gives a SWOT analysis on cross-cutting issues being experienced in the county. Chapter Three: Introduces the spatial framework for the development of the county. It establishes a context for the development of a spatial plan which will be developed as per the requirements of the County Government Act, 2012. Chapter Four: presents linkages to Vision 2030, Millennium Development Goals (M.D.Gs) and the Constitution of Kenya 2010.
