Bungoma County Programme Based Budget 2022/2023

Abstract

The County Government of Bungoma has a core duty of undertaking projects/programmes as planned with a view of addressing the citizens’ identified needs while enhancing the well-being of all the county citizenry. Our aim is to allocate resources to priority community initiatives that have high impact in order to support inclusive economic growth and development. The county treasury is adequately equipped to carry out its mandate efficiently as it meets the customers’ needs. In this regard, while preparing this budget, we carefully scrutinized budget programs to ensure their optimal alignment with the County Development Agenda as outlined in the County Integrated Development Plan II, the National Government priorities under the “Big Four” Plan and the Sustainable Development Goals. This Programme Based Budget is prepared against a background of expected global recovery after a slump in 2020 occasioned by the negative effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. The global economy is projected to grow by 5.9 percent in 2021, from a contraction of 3.1 percent in 2020. However, economic prospects vary across countries with the emerging markets and developing economies expected to pick up slowly compared to advanced economies given different country policy responses to the pandemic.
