| dc.description.abstract | The County Integrated Development Plan (CIDP) 2018-2022 presents the people of Kilifi another
opportunity to build on the gains registered under my first term. This five-year Plan provides a
development roadmap for the County for the period between 2018 and 2022. It outlines the
consensus on programmes and projects that the County Government and its partners are committed
to implement during the plan period. Anchored on national policy and plans as well as international
development agenda, this Plan is also informed by my manifesto, aspirations of Jumuia ya Kaunti za
Pwani and above all the collective dream of the people of Kilifi County.
Based on the requirements of the Constitution of Kenya, 2010 and its implementation laws,
particularly the County Government Act, 2012; the Public Finance Management (PFM) Act, 2012, and
Inter-Governmental Relations Act, 2012, this CIDP has been developed in a participatory, multistakeholder approach. It is, therefore, a compendium of aspirations reflective of the diversity of
interests characterizing this great County. Programmes and projects proposed in the Plan aim to
address the challenges of water shortage, environmental degradation, unemployment among the
youth, underexploited economic opportunities in agriculture, fisheries and livestock production;
increasing production/productivity and value addition, exploitation of extractive mineral resources,
infrastructural development (roads; energy and water, social amenities), health services and low
education standards. The Plan pays primary focus on irrigation and food security, environmental
management and protection, water resources management and sanitation, women and youth
empowerment, children welfare and universal health care. The ultimate goal of the Plan is to create
wealth by focusing the transformative agenda on the needs of people of Kilifi. | en_US |
