Trans Nzoia County Annual Development Plan 2026/2027

Abstract

Article 220 (2) of the Constitution of Kenya, the County Governments Act, 2012 and the Public Finance Management Act (PFMA), 2012 mandates the County Government to prepare development plans which form the basis for appropriation of public funds. In line with the County Governments Act section 108, County Governments are required to prepare County Integrated Development Plans (CIDPs) that are implemented through Annual Development Plans and Medium-Term Expenditure Framework (MTEF).The Annual Development Plan aims to provide the mechanism for linking county development priorities in the CIDP to County Annual Budget. This is meant to enhance prudent allocation of resources as envisaged in the PFMA and facilitate for appropriation of county resources within the planning framework. Preparation and finalization of the ADP 2026/2027, has taken into account programmes and projects that are aligned to the 3rd Generation CIDP 2023-2027 and the National long-term plan, the Kenya Vision 2030. Emphasis has also been placed in incorporating programs and projects that contribute to the attainment of the National Bottom-up transformative Agenda (BETA). The plan will further embolden the realization of the County Government transformative agenda as envisioned in the 3rd generation CIDP and His Excellency George Natembeya’s manifesto. The CIDP spells out the medium-term interventions that will propel the county in achieving its vision of an “agro industrialized county with high quality of life for residents”.
