Community Needs and aspirations

To ensure that, the communities participate in the plan preparation and also have their inputs for the District Medium Term Development Plan, the Municipal Planning Coordinating Unit (MPCU) organized needs assessment at the four area councils to collect and collate their needs and aspirations into the Medium-Term Development Plan. Below are the issues and interventions from the four area councils in order of prioritization.

Outcome of the Relationship among the Community Needs and Key Development Issues

The Community needs and aspiration identified were harmonized with the key development issues and scored accordingly to determine the correlation among the needs and the identified issues using the scale of 2, 1 and 0 as strong, weak and no relationship respectively. On average a score of 1.105 was obtained representing 55.23% as an indication of relatively strong relationship among the key development issues and the Community needs and aspirations which underscores the fact that they have implication on the 2018-2021 planning period 2018-2021.
