Programme Name: Economic Planning program
The Economic Planning program has made some notable achievements in line with the Programme Outcome/Key Output Indicators as per the County Integrated Development Plan (CIDP) for the period of 2018-2022. The following is a detailed narration of the key achievements, baseline, target, and comments:
Budgets: The program has achieved its target of prioritizing allocation of resources, with five budgets approved. Additionally, the program has prepared 20 budget BIRs, which exceeds the target of 16. This is an impressive achievement that indicates that the program has been effective in managing resources and ensuring that they are allocated where they are most needed.
Efficient and timely preparation of plan documents:
The program has prepared the required number of plan documents, including one CIDP report and five each of ADPs, CFSPs, and CBROPs. However, only one Sector Plan has been compiled, which is below the target of five. The mid-term CIDP review report has been prepared, indicating that the program is on track to
meet its target of efficient and timely preparation of plan documents.
Monitoring and Evaluation:
The program has achieved its target of one CIDP mid-term and end-term review, with the mid-term review already prepared.
Programme Name: Internal Audit:
The Audit Committee met its target of holding 20 meetings by the end of the period, indicating efficiency and effectiveness in the use of county resources. 30 out of 30 projects were audited meeting the set target.
Programme Name: Resource Mobilization (Revenue):
The Resource Mobilization (Revenue) program had several key achievements between 2018 and 2022. In terms of local revenue mobilization, the program was able to achieve its target of preparing four finance bills and public participation reports, despite the challenges posed by the Covid-19 pandemic. Additionally, the program prepared one revenue enhancement plan strategy, meeting its target. However, the number of staff training sessions held was below the target due to insufficient funding. Regarding effective regulation of revenue collection and reporting, the program achieved its target of preparing 60 revenue reports and 60 Controller of Budget reports.
The program also successfully installed one e-revenue system, met the target of producing 60 reports from the system, and carried out 10 field visits and feasibility studies, although this was below the target due to inadequate personnel and funding.
The program faced several challenges, such as constrained budget and insufficient funding, which hindered progress in some areas. For instance, only one revenue collection vehicle was purchased, despite the target of acquiring eight, due to a lack of funds. Additionally, the program did not
67 prepare any revenue administration bill due to inadequate funds. However, despite the challenges, the program was able to achieve its targets in most areas, and progress was made towards improving revenue mobilization and regulation.
