The County Annual Development Plan (CADP) provides a basis for the budget making process of the subsequent financial years in accordance with Article 220 (2) of the Constitution of Kenya 2010 and Public Finance Management Act, 2012, Sect. 126 (1) and (2). This work plan defines the priority programmes and projects set for implementation in FY 2018/2019 as approved in the outer years of the current Budget estimates.

The 2018/2019 County Annual Development Plan continues from where the 2017/2018 Annual Development Plan concluded and gives priority to projects that were not completed in that financial year. This is expected to be in line with other structural reforms envisioned to propel the county to desired levels of developmental vibrancy and progress.

Nevertheless, the County continues to experience myriad of challenges among them lack of adequate funding and low performance of local revenue. To this end, the County Government intends to address these challenges taking advantage of the county strengths and opportunities and key milestones achieved in the FY 2017/2018 implementation period to develop building blocks that are likely to propel us to achieve our objective of providing services in a just and equitable manner to all residents of Busia.

The strategic focus for the county as envisaged in the 2018/19 Annual Development Plan covers the Governor’s manifesto for the next five years for the county by setting out priority areas and consequently high–impact programmes and projects geared towards the actualization of county’s vision.
