Description

...It is with great pleasure that I write this foreword for the Vihiga County ADP for the financial year 2018-2019. The basis for preparation of the Annual Development Plan is anchored in section 126 of the Public Finance Management Act, 2012 and in accordance with Article 220 (2) of the Constitution.The ADP highlights the programmes and projects in the 2018-2022 CIDP to be implemented during the financial year 2018-2019.This fifth ADP in the 3rdMTP (2018-2022) is linked to the Medium Term Expenditure Framework (MTEF), Sectoral Plans, the National and International commitments e.g. Vision 2030, Agenda 2063 of the African Union, Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs This ADP reviews the benchmarks, targets, outputs/outcomes and assesses the county sector performances in the previous 2017/18 ADP. The review shows that most sectors performed below average, mainly due to institutional weaknesses and limited resources. The 2018/19 ADP has embraced a wide range of projects/programmes that seek to improve the socio-economic development in the county. Expansion of agricultural productivity, revitalization of industries and development of social infrastructure will be prioritized as reflected in the MTEF report and the CIDP. Other priority areas scheduled include projects/programmes geared towards ensuring food security; improved access to universal healthcare ; provision of competitive Technical and Vocational skills, research and innovation ; provision of reliable clean and safe water, environmental conservation, provision of sanitation services and affordable housing.The County Government is increasingly constrained in mobilizing the required financial and technical resources to cope with the rising demand for development projects and provision of services. The rapid growth in urban population in Vihiga and all-round social and economic development has compounded the pressure on the existing infrastructure, and increased the demandsupply gap. Further, donor commitments through Private Public Partnerships(PPPs), will be enhanced to bridge the gaps. Capital projects contained in this ADP will be funded through equitable share, grants and loans from development partners and the private sector. The information in the ADP will be useful to the County Departments in implementing their specific objectives and to the public at large in tracking their needs and priorities. It will also be useful to the county government in monitoring the budget implementation.I therefore, call for the involvement of all stakeholders and the general citizenry of Vihiga to participate in the implementation of this plan to promote efficient and effective service delivery and achieve the development objectives of the county during the financial year 2018/19.
