2019 Makueni County Fiscal Strategy Paper

FOREWORD

The 2019 Makueni County Fiscal Strategy Paper (CFSP) sets the County Government priority programs to be implemented through the medium term period 2019/20 – 2021/22. The programs and policies herein reflect the concerns of the Makueni Citizenry and are anchored under the CIDP 2018-2022 and the 2019/20 Annual Development Plan.
The focus of development for FY 2019/20 is ‘community economic empowerment for increased household income’. All County Government entities and departments will be required to demonstrate how their programmes will realize the set agenda and the envisaged outcomes. The objective will be to assign resources to the development results within the medium term framework.
The development framework for FY 2019/20 is clustered into five key thematic areas to provide an all-county approach to development and allocation based on thematic areas that link sectoral priorities to the overall county development goals. The thematic areas have been aligned to the National Government Big four priorities on manufacturing, affordable housing, universal health coverage and food security.
The thematic areas include; a) community economic empowerment, b) water resource management, c) lands, urban planning and development, d) socio-economic development, and e) enablers (infrastructure, cooperatives, financial infrastructure, energy, ICT, institutional capacity, market infrastructure)
The targeted expenditures will prioritize on agricultural production and commercialization, access to water, disadvantaged groups’ economic empowerment and secure land tenure and urbanization. Key main areas of focus include; food security; water development; urban planning and development; universal health care; ENE microfinance; Youth, women and PWD economic empowerment; ward funding and completion of pending/ongoing projects. To implement these key result areas, the Government will develop a robust resource mobilization strategy that will involve building partnerships with private partners, development partners, community driven development and the national government. The sector ceilings in this CFSP have been based on the expenditure priorities that are aligned to the five thematic areas.
