2017 Makueni County Annual Development Plan

FOREWORD

The County Government Act (2012) requires each county to prepare a five year County
Integrated Development Plan (CIDP) which forms the basis for all county budgeting and
spending of public funds. The Act provides that no public funds should be appropriated outside
a planning framework developed by the County executive and approved by a County Assembly.
The framework is implemented through a series of Annual Development Plans (ADPs) pursuant
to section 126 of the Public Finance Management Act (2012).
This is the last ADP to implement the first Makueni CIDP 2013-2017. The preparation took a
reflection on the achievements under development programme since 2013. The objective of
the ADP is to continue implementing programmes identified by the CIDP to ensure achievement
of development goals as envisioned therein. The plan also made reference to Makueni County
Vision 2025 and other national and international policy documents key among them being the
Kenya Vision 2030 and the United Nation’s SDGs.
The process of its formulation was highly consultative as provided for in the County
Governments Act, 2012. Various consultative forums were organized at the County, Sub
County, Urban areas and Sub Ward levels to identify the development priorities and
interventions.
The ADP provides comprehensive guidelines in budgeting, project funding, monitoring and
evaluation of all the projects for the 2017/2018 financial year. The plan forms the basis for
preparing the 2017 County Fiscal Strategy and the subsequent county budget. The Government
strategic focus will therefore be guided by this plan to ensure strong linkage between planning
and budgeting and facilitate partnerships and collaborations with the National Government and
other stakeholders.
