County Government of Nandi Tel: 053-5252355 P.O.BOX 802-30300 facebook: County government of Nandi Kapsabet twitter: @nandigov Email: [email protected] Website: www.nandi.go.ke ii Nandi County Integrated Development Plan 2018-2023 FOREWORD I am delighted to present to you the Second-Generation County Integrated Development Plan (CIDP) 2018-2023, which outlines the strategic vision and goals identified to help the County realize its transformation agenda and better service delivery to the people of Nandi. The process of formulating a new CIDP has given us an opportunity to take stock on past successes and failures, to determine our vision and future goals considering challenges ahead. Subsequently, we have put strategies for development in response to changing needs and aspirations of our people, which are in line with our campaign promise. While adhering to tenets of ‘Integrated Development Planning’ and upholding the principles of public participation at all levels of governance, development of this CIDP ensured that national government and relevant stakeholders were engaged and consulted. The process took cognizance of other county, national and international development plans by providing linkages to the Nandi county transformative Agenda, the Kenya Vision 2030 and its Medium-Term Plans, Sectoral Plans, Urban Plans, the Big Four Agenda, Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the Sendai Framework of Action and the Agenda 2063 of the African Union. This approach facilitated comprehensive integration of all socio-economic, environmental, legal and spatial aspects of development. During the first plan period 2013-2017, the County government discharged its mandate and functions as prescribed under schedule four of the Constitution of Kenya through the County Executive, County Assembly and the County Public Service Board. Implementation of the first CIDP 2013-2017 was successful despite the teething problems experienced in setting up the structures. The myriad of challenges encountered included late disbursement of funds, inadequate revenue collection and non-participatory planning process which led to lack of ownership and sustainability of the projects, nonetheless, the lessons learnt have been used to inform development of the current CIDP. This Plan has prioritized investment in healthcare by ensuring, universal and quality health services, infrastructural developments to improve access and road network iii Nandi County Integrated Development Plan 2018-2023 connectivity and access to clean safe water. Other priority areas include investment in Early Childhood Development, agricultural productivity and cooperative development, Trade and manufacturing, Youth empowerment and Environmental protection among others. The Plan has also put in place measures to increase the county revenue base and collaborate with the national government, development partners and other stakeholders in resource mobilization. As we usher in the plan period 2018-2023, information contained herein is expected to inform and guide the various County Annual Development Plans and budgeting processes. It is my expectation that this CIDP will be useful in enhancing integrated development in the county and thus contribute towards the realization of the ‘Tuga Tai’ Transformative Agenda of a balanced growth and development across the county.
