The Plan builds on the achievements registered under the LGDP I and takes into consideration the challenges encountered and lessons learnt during its implementation. The achievements realized under LGDPI include among others: reduction in absolute poverty, reduction in infant & under five mortality, Increased Primary School enrollment, Improvement in PLE performamnce, Reduced illiteracy levels, Improvement in School infrastructure especially Number of Class rooms and School Sanitary conditions, Improvement in Health Service delivery, marked reduction in Malaria morbidity and mortality, Improved Road network, access to water, Improvement in agricultural production attributable to adaptation to commercial farming among many others. The Details on all the aforementioned successes, challenges encountered, lessons learnt from the implementation of LGDP I and all the planned development interventions for the next five years have been well conceptualized and articulately presented in this LGDP II. iii It is our Strong conviction that if well implemented, this LGDP II will undoubtedly deliver full potential for realization and achievement of Kiruhura district‟s Vision.
