Makueni County Annual Development Plan FY 2018-19

FOREWORD
The preparation of this Annual Development Plan (ADP) for the Financial Year 2018/19, comes at a time when the County Government is in the process of preparing the second generation County Integrated Development Plan (CIDP), 2018-22, which will form the basis for all county budgeting and spending of public funds. The ADP outlines the broad development objectives and programmes to be achieved by Makueni County by the year 2022. This plan was prepared in fulfillment of section 108 of the County Government Act, 2012 which requires that each county should prepare a five year County Integrated Development Plan and that no public funds shall be appropriated outside a planning framework developed by the County Executive and approved by the County Assembly. Pursuant to section 126 of the Public Finance Management Act (2012), the CIDP is implemented through a series of ADPs.
This FY 2018/2019 Annual Development Plan was prepared through a consultative process. It benefited from sectoral consultations, thematic groups’ consultations during the FY 2017/18 planning and budgeting process and the preparation of County Spatial Plan 2016. As such it adopted a sectoral planning approach to facilitate allocation of resources to related activities in order to accelerate the desired growth by linking specific sectoral activities to outcomes.
It is the first plan to realize the CIDP II (2018-22) and will form a base for the other four succeeding ADPs. The main focus for this ADP is economic empowerment for sustainable livelihoods and will be anchored on water development; infrastructural development; irrigated agriculture and youth development. Importantly, this Plan is aligned to the Makueni Vision 2025 which is the County’s long term development plan, Kenya Vision 2030, Africa Union’s Agenda 2063 and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
