Bungoma County Sector Plan for Social Protection, Culture and Recreation 2023-2032

Abstract

This Sector Plan is a 10 year planning document that will set pace in allocation of resources in line with the identified gaps in policy formulation, infrastructure development and resource availability to spur county development. The Plan has been prepared through a participatory and inclusive process involving Environment, Water and Natural Resources sector departments at the county and national levels, County Budget and Economic Forum, NGOs, Academic Institutions, Research institutions, development partners, religious institutions, private sector, Public Benefit Organizations (PBOs) and County citizens amongst other stakeholders. Public Participation Fora, Key Stakeholders’ Fora, Key Informant Interviews and Several Group Discussions were conducted to collect relevant Information and inputs from the stakeholders. The technical committee tasked with the preparation of this Sector Plan held various workshops, which came up with a draft copy as per the guidelines set out by national treasury issued in December, 2020. The drafts were then subjected to stakeholder’s validation meetings including ratification by the County Executive Committee. This Sector Plan places great emphasis on social protection, Arts and culture, sports and talent development. These will be supported by enactment and enforcement of relevant legislations, strengthening of governance institutions, leveraging on cross-sector linkages and mobilization of more resources towards the sector to support inclusion and equitable allocation of resources to assure efficient service delivery across the County.
