In preparing this first development plan, the constituency adopted a participatory approach where both internal and external stakeholders’ views and comments were sought at various stages. This involved a number of stakeholders’ consultative workshops/fora which involved community member forums at the division level, as well as leaders forums. The views and input from area professionals and business community were also incorporated after a very productive workshop held in Nairobi, December 2010. The planning team from University of Nairobi carried out a detailed assessment of the development challenges and opportunities in the area. Stakeholder forums were held which did SWOT analysis to examine the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats in the constituency. These analyses were useful in identifying the strategic issues that need to be addressed. This also helped in the formulating of the vision, objectives, strategies, and programmes for implementation. The development plan details the strategies and activities that will be implemented in a period of 7 years. To this end specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic and Time Bound programs and outputs, and their indicators have been developed. Annual targets have been set and indicative budgets proposed for all activities for the entire plan period. The achievements of the objectives of this development plan requires support and input of stakeholders including all government ministries, private sector, civil society, NGOs and development partners among others. The consultative process through which this plan has been developed gives me the confidence that all stakeholders collectively own it and therefore will receive the necessary support in its implementation. In this connection, Our Patron, The Hon Captain Clement Muchiri Wambugu deserves special praises for his deep support, commitment and advice throughout all stages of preparation of this plan. He further deserves credit for having opened immense democratic space in Mathioya constituency. This must be continued and further sustained in the future. On their part, the Mathioya people must work harder and engage in development oriented activities to ensure their vision of a Prosperous Mathioya is achieved. Eng.
