FOREWARD
The Kenya Constitution, 2010, provides for two distinct and interdependent levels of government – the national and the county governments. The County Government Act, 2012 states that each county shall prepare a County Integrated Development Plan (CIDP) which shall be the basis for all budgeting and spending of public funds. It also states that a county government shall plan for the county and no public funds shall be appropriated outside a planning framework developed by the county executive committee and approved by the county assembly. The Public Finance Management Act, 2012 stipulates that the County Executive in charge of planning shall submit to the County Assembly Annual Development Plan by September 1st every year.
The annual development plan for Makueni County provides comprehensive guidelines in budgeting, project funding, monitoring and evaluation of all the projects for the financial year 2015-16. It will also facilitate proper coordination with the national government and other stakeholders in order to improve the well-being of the county citizens. The Kenya Vision 2030 and its Medium Term Plans provided the foundation for the preparation of the first CIDP for Makueni County. The integrated development planning framework is formulated to enhance linkage between policy, planning and budgeting. The CIDP is implemented through successive five year annual development plans.
This is the second Annual Development Plan for the County; the process of project identification was highly consultative as provided for in the County Governments Act 2012. Various consultative forums were organized at the county, sub-county and ward levels to identify the projects and programmes. The information gathered was complemented with the views received during budget consultations in the County.
In each department, annual work plans and procurement plans will be drawn to outline projects to be undertaken during that year. The County expects to reap tremendous benefits from continuous input of the public, state and other non-state actors during identification, planning, implementation and evaluation of projects and programmes.
