| dc.description.abstract | The Fourth Schedule in the Constitution of Kenya, 2010 stipulates the distribution of the fourteen functions of counties among them the county planning and development. As per the Ministry of Devolution and Planning Guidelines for Preparation of County Integrated Development Plans (August 2022), the county planning should be integrated across sectors, green economy, blue economy and considerations of various actors. More so, the CIDP should promote the Kenya Vision 2030 aspiration of making Kenya a globally competitive and prosperous Nation, with a high quality of life for all citizens by 2030. Besides the Vision 2030, the plan should be aligned to the SDGs and the Africa Agenda 2063. Cognizance of this, Tharaka Nithi County Government has developed its 3rd CIDP 2023-2027. This is the County’s blueprint that reflects the broader picture and priorities to achieve desirable outcomes in a way that demonstrates improvement in the quality of life for the citizens and accelerate the service delivery in all sectors.
The CIDP clearly depicts the county vision which is ‘A Prosperous, Industrialized and Cohesive County ‘achieved through the mission whereby the county will enhance sustainable socio-economic growth and optimal utilization of resources. The focus for the CIDP is anchored on a theme as clearly derived from the Governor’s manifesto ‘Leaving no one behind.’ The county actors have deeply held commitments and shared understanding that inform every policy and programme and steer every action summarized as ICT2: Integrity, Inclusiveness, Citizen-focused, Creativity & Innovativeness, Transparency & Accountability and Teamwork | en |
