The 2018/2019 Kisii County Annual Development Plan (ADP) was prepared in line with the requirements of Section 126 (1) of the Public Finance Management Act, 2012, Section 104 of the County Government Act, 2012 and Article 220 (2) of the 2010 Constitution. The ADP contains the strategic priority development programmes/projects to be implemented in the financial year 2018/2019.

The ADP is an annual document that guides the implementation of projects and Programmes by each department as stipulated in the County Integrated Development Plan (CIDP) 2018-2022. Therefore, this plan is largely aligned to the CIDP, Governor’s manifesto, the Kenya Vision 2030 and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

The preparation of this ADP included consultations with all the stakeholders, the County departments and relevant County policy documents like departmental strategic plans, Monitoring and Evaluation reports of the previous ADPs and budgets.Their inputs and views were incorporated in the document for ownership and sustainability of the proposed projects and Programmes.

The proposed projects and programmesstipulated in this plan will requires Kshs.5.3 billion over and above the personnel, operation and maintenance funds. For this to be realized, it will require a concerted effort from various stakeholders especially the development partners and through Public Private Partnership (PPP) programmes. This will go a long way in ensuring that the County flagship projects are completed on time.

The Annual Development Plan is expected to provide the feedback necessary for carrying out the monitoring and evaluation of projects and Programmes so as to enable informed evidence-based decision-making both at the County and at National level. It is also expected that successful implementation of the projects/Programmes, contained in this Annual Plan will contribute to better delivery of County goods and services, employment creation, faster economic growth, well as poverty reduction in the County.
