dc.description.abstract | This study sought to establish the challenges faced by Garissa County in the
implementation of development strategies. It also intended to identify' the possible
remedial measures that could be put in place to address these challenges. These were the
objectives of the study. Studies abound on the challenges of implementing strategy but
most of these draw from the developed world or from other counties that share very few
similarities with Garissa County. Garissa County has developed its own county
development plans just like other counties. The implementation of this strategic plan is
the responsibility of both National and county governments. Once again this arises from
the fact the national government has the experience and resources to oversee matters to
do with security. The nongovernmental agencies because of their specialized knowledge
have been encouraged to deal with issues touching on maternal and child mortality. In
driving this agenda the national government especially strongly to provide such faculties
as healthcare workers and vehicles. It has however not been noticeably implemented.
Quite a number appeared disillusioned with what a mission statement is all about with
some actually confusing the mission statement with the codes of office. Even after the
researcher explained what the mission statement was all about the responses were still
that they were not aware of any document to that effect in Garissa County. Clearly then in
order for strategy implementation to be smoothed, the national and county governments
have to address the key challenges because inevitably there is a link between the
availability of security and willingness to invest. Insecurity for both human and more
human resources is a disincentive to investment Since the county model of government is
relatively new in Kenya, not much has been studied on them Literature concludes that
there is correlation between challenges to be faced in the implementation of strategy and
the resources available to the implementing authority. Data was analyzed by use of
content analysis since the data was collected from only one county which made it a case
study. The findings are that for Garissa County the challenges in the implementation of
strategy are political interference, poor infrastructure and very unfriendly climate. The
author recommends the gradual cessation of political interference and upgrading of
infrastructure. | |
