...The T h i r d County Annual Development Plan (CADP) is an upshot of the first County Integrated Development Plan (CIDP). The Plan will be guided by the CIDP which seeks to transform L a m u County into a prosperous and competitive county in economic, social and political development offering high quality services to its people. Its short term development strategy will endeavor move the County economy towards a growth trajectory to achieve a high and sustainable economic growth rate throughout the CIDP implementation period. The annual plan prioritized policies, Programmes and Projects to jump-start the economy and achieve shared prosperity. The plan has been prepared in the spirit of the Constitution and complies with national legislation requiring that allocation of resources by both levels of government be on the basis of plans and hence it sets out the development agenda and budget over the next one year as it documents the aspirations of the citizens of L a m u County and allocation of resources to ensure these aspirations are attained. The CADP implements the first CIDP which has been prepared after extensive consultations with the stakeholders in every Ward of the County. It is indeed a document of the people of L a m u County. I therefore call upon all the people of L a m u County to commit themselves to the pursuit of successful plan implementation and to play their key role in the implementation of this plan so that we move forward to the future as a united and prosperous County. Success in projects/programmes implementation will require sacrifice, hard work, self-determination and discipline. The implementation of this plan will require adequate financial resources. I have no doubt that all stakeholders will work in partnership to help mobilize resources as well as fully participate in the implementation, monitoring and evaluation of the project/programmes that will inspire economic growth of this County. Finally, to the people of Lamu County what will matter most is the delivery of services promised to them by the Government. The annual plan will be successful if that objective is met in a way that demonstrates improvements in the quality of life for the citizens
