Wajir County has been on a growth trajectory since devolution underscored by massive investment in improving infrastructure, water systems, livestock & crop production and energy services as well as investment in important social sectors like health, education and social protection. To sustain this development path, the focus in 2020/21 and in the medium term shall remain on the areas that can transform the lives of Wajir residents in the long term with job creation, food & nutritional security, universal health care, water & sanitation services and ease of access through improved infrastructure. The climate change continue to present unique and dynamic challenges to the county economic well being; natural disasters such as floods and droughts have increased in intensity and frequency while the county also is currently fighting the invasion by large swarms of locusts that now threaten the livestock and crop production which are the economic mainstay for the county. In order to build resilience, the government shall in 2020/21 and in the MTEF period invest substantial resources in climate smart systems of production.
