The FY 2026/27 County Annual Development Plan is the fourth annual plan in the implementation of the County Integrated Development Plan 2023–2027. Developed under Section 126 of the Public Finance Management (PFM) Act, 2012, the plan serves as a key tool for directing resource allocation and prioritizing development initiatives that advance the county’s overall goals. The Annual Development Plan is being formulated during a period of cautious economic recovery in Kenya. The national economy is showing signs of stabilization, characterized by easing inflation and a relatively steady exchange rate. However, this positive trajectory remains vulnerable to persistent structural challenges, including a heavy public debt repayment burden, high unemployment rates, particularly among youth, and recurring climate-related shocks pose significant risks to this positive trajectory. The County Annual Development Plan for the 2026/27 financial year outlines a targeted set of priority programmes and projects designed to accelerate progress toward the County’s development goals. These initiatives are aligned with the guiding principles of Nguzo Kumi and are firmly embedded in the County Integrated Development Plan. The plan therefore, prioritizes resource allocation across the following transformative areas: advancing agriculture and strengthening food security; enhancing access to quality healthcare services; expanding digital infrastructure and improving service delivery through technology; promoting trade, cooperatives, and enterprise development; investing in education and vocational training; upgrading infrastructure and increasing access to clean water; supporting sustainable land use and physical planning; improving public service management; and modernizing municipalities and urban development. The Annual Development Plan has also aligned the county development initiatives with Kenya Vision 2030, Sustainable Development Goals, among other plans. By incorporating programmes that reflect these commitments, the plan ensures county efforts contribute to national and international goals, fostering synergy and accelerating shared development outcomes.
