The plan has been formulated with acknowledgement of the critical role of the water sector in the development and growth of the County Governments. The constitution of Kenya recognizes access to water as a fundamental human right. The plan will therefore craft and implement strategies for growing water coverage in the company’s service area. This however calls for dedicated efforts from all stakeholders in the water sector.

Implementation of this plan will be periodically monitored and evaluated by the Board of Directors in order to ensure the company is abreast with any emerging issues in the water sector. Further to this, the periodic reviews will ensure performance gaps are identified on time and the necessary remedial actions taken to ensure the plan is successfully implemented. This 10-Year plan intends to achieve preset strategic objectives for which proper strategies and activities have been identified for implementation.

The plan has been prepared with appreciation of the fact that the company operates in a dynamic environment where change is certainly inevitable. As such, this 10-strategic plan is not cast on stone, it is guide for the future, not a guarantor of that future. It will therefore be reviewed from time to time in line with the Monitoring, Evaluation, Accountability and Learning (MEAL) Framework. These reviews could be informed by among others; changes in government policies and operating environment, changes in resources availability as well as the feedback obtained from the MEAL framework.

The Board of Directors recognize that effective collaboration and teamwork among the key stakeholders will be critical for the strategic plan to be effectively implemented. To this end, the Board will closely work together with all stakeholders to allow a conducive environment to allow the company attain its strategic objectives. The Board shall be committed to ensuring successful implementation and operationalization of the plan and in general promote adherence to good corporate governance practices. In addition, the Board shall endeavor to create a proper and conducive operating environment to enable the company live up to its full potential.

Finally, I wish to register my sincere gratitude to the directors, management and staff for their unreserved commitment and devotion to the strategic plan formulation process. Through absolute dedication and collaboration, I have no doubt whatsoever that we will be able to successfully implement this 10-Year Strategic Plan.
