Makueni County Fiscal Strategy Paper 2025

Abstract

The 2025 Makueni County Fiscal Strategy Paper is the third in a series guiding the implementation of the 3rd Generation County Integrated Development Plan (CIDP) 2023-2027. It outlines the county’s medium-term development strategy, aligned with CIDP III’s theme, "Building a Resilient Economy for Sustainable Development," and the FY 2025/26 focuses on "Sustaining Economic Gains for Inclusive Development.” In compliance with the Public Finance Management (PFM) Act, 2012, this paper sets out the county’s key priorities, economic outlook, and medium-term budget estimates and ceilings, forming the basis for the FY 2025/26 budget formulation. The development agenda for FY 2025/26 will focus on strategic priorities aimed at stimulating local economies through fostering economic transformation, sustainable development, and inclusive growth for shared prosperity. Economic transformation will be driven by four key sectors: water, agriculture and rural development, social protection and youth empowerment, and health services. These sectors are strategically positioned to enhance local livelihoods by addressing each ward’s specific needs. Together, these sectors will create a strong foundation for inclusive and sustainable growth at the community level
