Apart from the requirements of openness, accountability and public participation in decision-making matters, the Constitution introduced fundamental changes to Public financial management and specifically to the budget process. Stakeholders’ participation is thus useful in the identification of stakeholders’ social and developmental challenges and homegrown interventions to address the challenges and the enhancement of greater ownership, and participation of citizens in budget implementation, monitoring and evaluation via inclusivity in the planning and budget making process.

Therefore in complying with these provisions, the CFSP preparation considers public participation as vital. The CFSP will be tabled at the County Economic and Budget Forum whose membership includes community representatives for approval before submission to the County Assembly.
