| dc.description.abstract | The County Government Act, 2012, Section 104 and 108, obligates counties to develop a County
Integrated Development Plan (CIDP) setting up planning units at all county administrative levels.
It further seeks to promote public participation and engagement by non-state actors in county
planning processes. In fulfillment of aforementioned requirements, the County Government of
Busia has developed its 3rd generation CIDP for 2023- 2027 that is instrumental in linking
policy, planning and budgeting as required by the Constitution 2010 and other legislation. This
County Integrated Development Plan (CIDP) outlines processes through which various efforts at
national and devolved levels of government and other relevant public institutions are
coordinated at local level to bring economic, social, environmental, legal and spatial aspects of
development together to meet the needs and targets set for the benefit of local communities.
The guidelines for preparation of the Third-Generation County Integrated Development Plans,
2023 – 2027 provided requisite norms and standards for preparation of the 3rd generation CIDPs
to ensure uniformity across all counties. The guidelines were expected to strengthen mechanisms
for linking county policies, planning and budgeting processes. The CIDP 2023-2027
preparation guidelines also considered lessons learnt from implementation of previous 2nd
generations of CIDPs as well as emerging issues and challenges. The county development
priorities, strategies and Programmes and projects were identified by the stakeholders in the
county. The process was carried out in a participatory manner and entailed extensive
stakeholder consultations, receipt of written memoranda and involvement of key stakeholders.
The projects and programmes will be implemented during 2023-2027 period. | en |
