Better Investments for Shared Prosperity September 2019 0 | P a g e COUNTY VISION AND MISSION Vision An industrialized, healthy and wealthy county Mission To build and preserve optimal conditions for accelerated, inclusive and sustainable development that guarantees safe livelihoods, dignified living and progressive pathways for all citizens of the county to thrive. i | P a g e FOREWORD Article 220 of the constitution of Kenya 2010 together with Section 126 of the Public Finance Management Act, 2012 and Section 102 of the County Government Act, 2012 obligate County Governments to prepare Annual Development Plans every year. Homa-Bay County Government has fulfilled this obligation to ensure that her residents realized development in a more sustainable manner that addresses all aspects: the social, the economic and the political. This has been done in this plan through well designed programs and activities with clear outputs, indicators, targets, strategies that respond to development needs of our people. This C-ADP for the FY 2020/21 has been aligned with and linked to Kenya Vision 2030 and its Medium Term Plan III and the Big 4 Agenda as national policy instruments for guiding the choice of programs and projects to be incorporated both national-level and county-level plans. Therefore, the priorities in the C-ADP were those that had been captured in the CIDP 2018-22 and had the blessing of the public and other stakeholders through participatory processes. The formulation of this plan was enriched by views and inputs from line departments, non-state actors and citizens through ward-level consultations. This C-ADP will implement the third year programs and projects as captured in the CIDP 2018- 2022. It will form the basis for resource allocation to county spending entities in the financial year 2020/2021 while at the same time support resource mobilization from development partners, including the UN family, multilateral and bilateral aid agencies, aimed at improving development outcomes for Homa Bay County. Moving forward, therefore, I want to rally all county stakeholders starting with the County Budget and Economic Forum and the County Assembly to prioritize the realization of the County’s vision and implementation of the flagship programs of His Excellency the Governor. I wish to secure support from people of Homa Bay County and our development partners in ensuring happens because only then will we ultimately improve the quality of life of our people, enhance economic growth and prosperity of the County and deliver results for Kenyans.
