Uasin Gishu County Annual Development Plan 2026/2027
Get PDFThe FY 2026/27 County Annual Development Plan is the fourth annual plan in the implementation of the County Integrated Development Plan 2023–2027. Developed under Section 126 of the Public Finance Management (PFM) Act, 2012, the plan serves as a key tool for directing resource allocation and prioritizing development initiatives that advance the county’s overall goals. The Annual Development Plan is being formulated during a period of cautious economic recovery in Kenya. The national economy is showing signs of stabilization, characterized by easing inflation and a relatively steady exchange rate. However, this positive trajectory remains vulnerable to persistent structural challenges, including a heavy public debt repayment burden, high unemployment rates, particularly among youth, and recurring climate-related shocks pose significant risks to this positive trajectory. The County Annual Development Plan for the 2026/27 financial year outlines a targeted set of priority programmes and projects designed to accelerate progress toward the County’s development goals. These initiatives are aligned with the guiding principles of Nguzo Kumi and are firmly embedded in the County Integrated Development Plan. The plan therefore, prioritizes resource allocation across the following transformative areas: advancing agriculture and strengthening food security; enhancing access to quality healthcare services; expanding digital infrastructure and improving service delivery through technology; promoting trade, cooperatives, and enterprise development; investing in education and vocational training; upgrading infrastructure and increasing access to clean water; supporting sustainable land use and physical planning; improving public service management; and modernizing municipalities and urban development. The Annual Development Plan has also aligned the county development initiatives with Kenya Vision 2030, Sustainable Development Goals, among other plans. By incorporating programmes that reflect these commitments, the plan ensures county efforts contribute to national and international goals, fostering synergy and accelerating shared development outcomes

Mombasa City County Fiscal Strategy Paper 2025
Get PDFThe 2025 Mombasa County Fiscal Strategy Paper (CFSP) is the third to be prepared under the new Administration. It is based on the framework of the Bottom-up Economic Transformation Agenda (BETA) of the Kenya Kwanza Government and anchored on the Fourth Medium Term Plan of the Vision 2030. It sets out the Administration’s priority programs, policies and reforms to be implemented in the Medium-Term Expenditure Framework (MTEF). BETA is the Government’s transformation agenda geared towards economic turnaround through a value chain approach. It is based on investing the limited capital available where it will create the most jobs at the bottom of the pyramid. The CFSP is framed against a backdrop of stable global and domestic economic outlook. Global growth is projected at 3.2 percent in 2024 and 3.3 percent in 2025 from 3.3 percent in 2023. The outlook reflects economic recovery in China, Euro area and UK, despite a slowdown in activity in the USA and Japan. On the domestic front, the Kenyan economy has remained resilient despite the challenging domestic and external environment. The focused interventions and structural reforms of the Government under BETA have stabilized the economy and supported economic recovery to 5.6 percent in 2023 from 4.9 percent in 2022 following a strong rebound in agriculture after two years of severe drought. Additionally, macroeconomic fundamentals have strongly rebounded and are projected to continue on an upward trajectory. Economic growth is estimated to have slowed down to 4.6 percent in 2024 from a growth of 5.6 percent in 2023 reflecting deceleration of economic activities in the first three quarters of 2024 and the slowdown in private sector credit growth to key sectors of the economy. Growth is expected to pick up to 5.3 percent in 2025 and retain the same momentum over the medium term largely driven by: enhanced agricultural productivity; resilient services sector, and ongoing implementation of priorities under BETA. This CFSP identifies the broad strategic priorities and policy goals that will guide the County Government in preparing its budget for Financial Year (FY) 2025/2026 and the Medium Term in accordance with the Public Finance Management Act 2012, section 117(1) which stipulates that the County Treasury should prepare the Fiscal Strategy Paper for the County

Uasin Gishu County Budget Review and Outlook Paper 2025
Get PDFThe 2025 County Budget Review and Outlook Paper (CBROP) has been prepared in compliance with Section 118 of the Public Finance Management Act, 2012. It serves as an important tool in our fiscal planning framework, providing a comprehensive review of the county’s budget performance for the 2024/2025 financial year while laying the foundation for the 2026/2027 Medium-Term Expenditure Framework (MTEF).
The 2025 CBROP has been prepared against the backdrop of Kenya’s resilient economic performance over the past three years, consistently outpacing both global and regional growth averages. In 2024, the economy expanded by 4.7 percent, driven by strong agricultural output, industrial recovery, and a vibrant services sector. Looking ahead, growth is projected at 5.3 percent for both 2025 and 2026, underpinned by continued momentum in services sector and sustained infrastructure investments. Uasin Gishu County continues to benefit from Kenya’s broader economic resilience, with its Gross County Product (GCP) reflecting steady growth across key sectors. The county’s share of the GCP has shown consistent improvement, rising from 2.4 percent in 2019 to 2.5 percent in 2023, resulting in a five-year average of 2.4 percent. This growth has been driven primarily by strong agricultural performance, supported by favourable rainfall over the past two years, a recovering manufacturing and agro-processing sector, and a vibrant services industry encompassing education, healthcare, and trade. This upward trend underscores the county’s expanding economic footprint and its strategic role in driving regional development. The county’s economic outlook for the 2026/27 fiscal year reflects a deliberate and strategic shift toward inclusive growth and socio-economic transformation. Realizing this vision will depend on the timely completion and operationalization of key flagship projects currently underway, including the six agro-processing facilities, an asphalt plant, Uasin Gishu hospital and diagnostic centre, modern library and youth and innovation centre, the County Aggregation and Industrial Park (CAIP), the 64 ultra-modern market, an Export Processing Zone (EPZ), and the affordable housing initiative, among others. These strategic investments are poised to unlock new economic opportunities, stimulate local enterprise, and improve the overall well-being of residents across the county
