County planning and budgeting in Kenya is a crucial process that ensures the effective allocation and utilization of resources at the local level to meet the needs of communities. Following the devolution of government functions under the 2010 Constitution, counties have the responsibility to plan and manage their own budgets, with a focus on local development. The process involves the formulation of annual budgets, allocation of funds to various sectors such as healthcare, education, infrastructure, and agriculture, and engaging the public through participatory forums. This article delves into the key elements of county planning and budgeting in Kenya, the challenges faced, and how effective management of resources can contribute to sustainable development and improved service delivery at the county level.
