Makueni County Annual Development Plan 2020/2021

Abstract

The focus of the plan is to integrate community development for increased household income and empowerment opportunities for the youth. The plan seeks to further its achievement through increasing agricultural productivity, value addition and commercialization; increasing availability and access to water; enhancing quality health care for all; Youth, Women and PWD economic empowerment; and having secure land tenure and urbanization. Cognizant of the challenges faced during the implementation of the ADP 2018/19 where programme implementation was affected due to the lack of funding, this plan recommends the alignment of the resources required with the available funding. Thus, to effectively deliver development, the county will ensure that development is integrated at the community level to enhance cross-sectoral linkages and accelerate achievement of development outcomes as outlined in Makueni Vision 2025 and CIDP II (2018 – 2022) This plan identifies the village cluster as the basic planning unit in which mapping of all livelihoods and preparation of village action plans will be acted. This is in a bid to exploit the opportunities within the villages as aligned to county agro-ecological and economic zoning. The development committees will be paramount in the actualization of this plan and will be facilitated through the public participation framework.
