PRESENTATION OF THE SESSION

COUNTY ASSEMBLIES FORUM
Agenda 2030 and 2063 prioritizes inclusive growth on all segments of a community rather than merely on pro-poor growth. Deeper integration allows for efficient exploitation of opportunities manifested through complementary interventions and integration of policies. The Sub-National/County Governments are better placed to play a pivotal role in the counties’ economic development if they focus their energies towards the implementation of well-defined core functions, policy priorities and utilize its resources more productively. This forum will provide a platform to understand the extent to which marginalized groups can fully participate in and benefit from the two international commitments. Kenya’s Legal Architecture of intermediary cities: the role of county governments in urban planning and design to promote and protect intermediary cities sustainability.
