In 2018, the number of students who benefited from bursaries due to their financial need was 59,300. At the end of the plan period, the number of supported students reached 92,300 out of the targeted 111,000. This success can be attributed to the implementation of pro-poor programs initiated by the county government.
The County was able to equip 6,000 village polytechnics during the planned period, exceeding their target of 3,000. This achievement was attributed to the increased demand and uptake of vocational skills by the residents and youth, who sought to acquire basic skills under the CLIDP program.
To improve the learning environment for Early Childhood Development Education (ECDE) learners, the County initiated the construction of 36 new classrooms through the pro-poor program, which was part of the County Integrated Development Plan (CLIDP).
The County embarked on a massive dam construction project and successfully constructed 88,000 earth dams in all 40 wards, exceeding the initial target of 6,500. This achievement was attributed to the County’s commitment to prioritize water and food security as a crucial pillar of the County’s development agenda, as outlined in the CLIDP programs.
Overall, the county has made progress in some areas, while others are still below the set targets due to various challenges, including inadequate funding, Covid 19 effects, and delayed disbursement of funds.
“As your Governor, I am committed to providing effective leadership, strategic vision and direction and to ensure efficient and prudent management of resources, inclusive service delivery, equitable development and investments attraction for improved livelihoods and a high quality of life for the people of Kitui County”.
