Full text linkThe Isiolo County Annual Development Plan (CADP) for 2025/26 is the third of the five consecutive year plans of the CIDP III (Y1, Y2, Y3, Y4 & Y5). Section 126 of the Public Finance Management Act 2012 clearly states that: Every county government shall prepare an Annual Development Plan every beginning of the financial year and shall be submitted to the County Assembly for its approval, not later than the 1st September in each year. Further, section 104 of the County Government Act of 2012 displays the obligation to plan for the county including the planning framework that integrates the economic, physical, social, environmental and spatial planning through successive County Integrated Development Plans, ADPs and sectoral policies and plans. The development priority projects, programmes and activities of the third year of the CIDP 2023-2027 are well incorporated in the Isiolo CADP 2025/2026. The document describes the details for each programme including the strategic priorities to which the programme will contribute to; the services or goods to be provided; the measurable indicators of performance where feasible; and the budget allocated to each project and programme
Uasin Gishu County Fiscal Strategy Paper 2025
Full text linkThe County Fiscal Strategy Paper (CFSP) is the primary financial policy document that sets out the county government’s strategic priorities and policy goals. It outlines the strategic priority policies, initiatives, and reforms necessary for the county’s transformational discourse. The CFSP guides the county in the preparation of its budget for the next financial year and over the medium term. The CFSP 2025 has been prepared to comply with Section 117 of the Public Finance Management (PFM) Act 2012. The section mandates the County Treasury to prepare a CFSP and present it to the County Executive Committee (CEC) for approval, then submit the approved CFSP to the County Assembly by 28th February of each year. The paper has been aligned with the national objectives contained in the Budget Policy Statement, with the application of fiscal responsibility principles as required by section 107 of the PFM Act 2012. The CFSP 2025 has been prepared against a backdrop of stabilized global and national economies as a result of the easing of global inflation and supply chain constraints. The Kenyan The economy remained strong and resilient in the first three quarters of 2024, despite recording comparatively constrained growth during the same period in 2023. The growth was largely supported by the strong performance in the agriculture sector, a slight recovery of the manufacturing sector, and the resilience of the services sector. The county’s 2024 Gross County Product (GCP) also increased to 2.5 percent in 2023, up from 2.4 percent the previous year, mainly driven by strong economic performance in agriculture, transport, and trade, thus positioning the county among the top ten economic contributors in the country. In the next financial year and over the medium term, the county expects to leverage the positive growth prospects to bolster its revenue performance to facilitate the accelerated implementation of the Governor’s Nguzo Kumi towards the socio-economic transformation of the county. The government will prioritize investments in the county’s growth potential areas while specifically targeting roads infrastructure, agriculture and agribusiness, water services, health services, education and vocational training, trade and cooperatives, lands and physical planning, development of the city and municipalities, and governance and service delivery
Tharaka Nithi County Annual Development Plan 2025/2026
No full textThe County Planning framework is guided by various legislative policies demonstrates a link between international, County Government and National Government obligations. As such, the commitments outlined in the County Government Act (CGA) 2012, bears the legal basis for the preparation of various county plans, including the procedures synonymous to county planning processes. Specifically, Part XI, Section 104 of the County Government Act, 2012, states that a county government shall plan for the county and no public funds shall be appropriated outside a planning framework developed by the County Executive Committee and approved by the county assembly. Further, Section 109 (1) of the CGA states that a Programme-based approach shall be adopted during budgeting and performance management. Additionally, section 113 postulates that County Integrated Development Plans should inform budget preparation and based on the annual development priorities and objectives. The Public Finance Management Act, 2012 section 126 provides further guidance, and states that each County prepare annual development plans in accordance with Article 220 (2) of the constitution of Kenya, 2010, and embodies county government priorities and plans. The 2025-26 County Annual Development Plan (CADP) highlights strategic priorities and resource management approaches of the county and brings together cumulative achievements in line with the clarion call to leave no one behind. Therefore, this County Annual Development Plan has been prepared in accordance with plans outlined by the CIDP 2023-2027 aspirations highlighted by the people of Tharaka Nithi
Kisii County Annual Development Plan 2025/2026
No full textThis Annual Development Plan (ADP) is prepared in line with Section 126 of the Public Finance Management Act, 2012 as a requirement under Article 220 of the Constitution of Kenya. The ADP forms the basis for budgeting and implementation of the County projects and Programmes in the Financial Year 2025/2026. The Plan contains the County priority development programmes and projects to be implemented over the medium-term period. The projects and programmes in this plan aims at responding to the County development challenges for the attainment of the County’s vision of “prosperity for all”, the realization of the Kenya Vision 2030 and Sustainable Development Goal (SDGs) aspirations. Further, the proposed projects and programmes in this plan have been aligned to the County’s Blue Print CIDP 2023-2027 and the National Government’s Bottom -Up Economic Transformation Agenda (BETA) of Medium Term Plan (MTP IV).The information contained in this plan is expected to inform and guide the budgeting process for the coming financial year 2025/2026 through the preparation of such policy documents as the County Fiscal Strategy Paper for the 2025/26 financial year and ultimately the budget estimates. All the proposed projects and programmes in this plan may not be adequately financed by the County due to limited resources. This therefore, calls for all stakeholders to collectively participate in resource mobilization towards the implementation of this Plan through a wider private partnership and other development partners for the benefit of the Kisii County residents. I therefore call upon all the people of Kisii County to rally behind this plan so that we can all work together to ensure its successful implementation and realize the County Vision
Baringo County Fiscal Strategy Paper 2025
No full textThe 2025 County Fiscal Strategy Paper (CFSP) is formulated in alignment with the national development agenda as outlined in the 2025 Budget Policy Statement (BPS). This CFSP, the third to be prepared under the County Integrated Development Plan (CIDP), reflects the county’s commitment to advancing the National and County frameworks including governors manifesto, Bottom-Up Economic Transformation Agenda (BETA); Fourth Medium-Term Plan of Vision 2030 and the County integrated development Plan CIDP) among others. The CFSP serves as a strategic framework to guide resource allocation and implementation of priority programs aimed at fostering economic resilience and inclusive growth within the county.
The main sources of county revenue, in the medium term, will be the equitable share, conditional grants, local revenue collections and donor funding. In the FY 2024/2024 and the medium term, the County Government proposes a series of measures to increase revenue and balance its fiscal spending. The County will focus on broadening the capital base through increased revenue streams with a view to stimulate economic growth and development. This paper, therefore, puts into perspective how the County anticipates expending its scarce resources in the FY 2024/2025 and the medium term.
The preparation of the 2025 CFSP occurs against a backdrop of stable global and domestic economic projections. Global growth is expected to stabilize at 3.2 percent in 2024 and 3.3 percent in 2025, while Kenya’s economic growth is projected to recover to 5.3 percent in 2025, supported by enhanced agricultural productivity, a resilient services sector, and ongoing implementation of BETA priorities. At the county level, the focus will be on implementing strategic interventions that spur local economic growth, improve service delivery, and promote sustainable development
Given the constrained fiscal environment, resource allocation in the 2025/26 budget and the medium-term framework will be driven by prioritization of high-impact programs while eliminating non-essential expenditures. County departments and agencies will be required to reevaluate ongoing and planned projects to ensure alignment with the county’s development priorities. Emphasis will be placed on the completion and operationalization of stalled or near-complete projects to maximize value for money and enhance service delivery
Adaptive optimal estimation of irregular mean and covariance functions
No full textInternational audienceWe propose straightforward nonparametric estimators for the mean and the covariance functions of functional data. Our setup covers a wide range of practical situations. The random trajectories are, not necessarily differentiable, have unknown regularity, and are measured with error at discrete design points. The measurement error could be heteroscedastic. The design points could be either randomly drawn or common for all curves. The definition of our nonparametric estimators depends on the local regularity of the stochastic process generating the functional data. We first propose a simple estimator of this local regularity which takes strength from the replication and regularization features of functional data. Next, we use the "smoothing first, then estimate" approach for the mean and the covariance functions. The new nonparametric estimators achieve optimal rates of convergence. They can be applied with both sparsely or densely sampled curves, are easy to calculate and to update, and perform well in simulations. Simulations built upon a real data example on household power consumption illustrate the effectiveness of the new approach

Theorems for the Lightcone Bootstrap
No full textInternational audienceConsider a conformally covariant four-point function of identical scalar operators with a discrete spectrum, a twist gap, and compatible with the unitarity conditions. We give a mathematical proof confirming that the spectrum and OPE coefficients at large spin and fixed twist always become that of a generalized free field theory
Test of lepton flavour universality with decays
No full textInternational audienceThe first test of lepton flavour universality between muons and electrons using () decays is presented. The measurement is performed with data from proton-proton collisions collected by the LHCb experiment at centre-of-mass energies of 7, 8 and 13 TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of . The ratio of branching fractions between and decays is measured in the dilepton invariant-mass-squared range and is found to be , in agreement with the Standard Model prediction. The first observation of the decay is also reported
Phase transitions and remnants of fractionalization at finite temperature in the triangular lattice quantum loop model
No full textInternational audienceThe quantum loop model (QLM), along with the quantum dimer model (QDM), are archetypal correlated systems with local constraints. With natural foundations in statistical mechanics, these models are of direct relevance to various important physical concepts and systems, such as topological order, lattice gauge theories, geometric frustrations, or more recently Rydberg quantum simulators. However, the effect of finite temperature fluctuations on these quantum constrained models has been barely explored. Here we study, via unbiased quantum Monte Carlo simulations and field theoretical analysis, the finite temperature phase diagram of the QLM on the triangular lattice. We discover that the vison plaquette (VP) crystal experiences a finite temperature continuous transition, which smoothly connects to the (2+1)d Cubic* quantum critical point separating the VP and quantum spin liquid phases. This finite temperature phase transition acquires a unique property of {\it thermal fractionalization}, in that, both the cubic order parameter -- the plaquette loop resonance -- and its constituent -- the vison field -- exhibit independent criticality signatures. This phase transition is connected to a 3-state Potts transition between the lattice nematic phase and the high-temperature disordered phase
