The 2017/2018 Kisii County Annual Development Plan (ADP) was prepared in line with the requirements of Section 126 of the Public Finance Management Act, 2012 and in accordance with Article 220 (2) of the Constitution. The ADP contains the strategic priority development Programmes/projects that shall be implemented during the financial year 2017/2018.

The ADP is an annual document that guides in the implementation of projects and Programmes by each department as they are stipulated in the County Integrated Development Plan (CIDP) 2013-2017. This plan is largely aligned to the CIDP, Governor’s manifesto, the Kenya Vision 2030 and Sustainable Development Goals (SDG).

The preparation of this ADP included a comprehensive consultation with all the stakeholders, the ten County departments and relevant County policy documents like the Programme Based Budget (PBB) for the 2015/2016 Financial Year (FY). The inputs and views were incorporated in the document for ownership and sustainability of the proposed projects and Programmes.

The proposed projects and programmes stipulated this plan requires a whopping 4.3 billion over and above the personnel and operation and maintenance funds. For this to be realized it will require a concerted effort from various stakeholders especially the Public Private Partnership (PPP) and other development partners. 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.
