Vihiga County Annual Development Plan 2016/2017

Abstract

This is the Fourth Annual Development Plan to be implemented by the County government of Vihiga since the inauguration of the new Kenya Constitution in 2010 and subsequent establishment of the county government in 2013. The ADP outlines the projects and activities to be implemented by the county government departments in the financial year 2016/17. The first ADP focussed on laying the foundations for growth and targeted initiatives required for social, physical and political transformation. The county government realised most of its programmes and activities identified and prioritized in the CIDP as part of the Medium-term objectives of the County during its first year. As the county embarks on the preparation and launching of the second ADP to cover the financial year 2016/17, the need for dedicated and sustainable implementation of CIDP and the Kenya vision 2030 cannot be gainsaid. This will inevitably require commitment and effective partnership of all actors from the national and county government, development partners, the private sector players as well as the local community. This ADP has embraced a wide range of projects and programmes that target to improve agricultural production, industry and social services in response to the needs of the citizenry as reflected in the MTEF public fora and the CIDP.
