In addition to soliciting support from the private sector tobuild County, there is need for all leaders to be effectively engaged in the development of Samburu. Inthis regard, a leadership forum will ensure synergy on the use of available resources both from theNational Government, County government and any other funds to avoid overlapping and duplication.The involvement of the religious leaders will promote the spiritual, social and general wellbeing of thepeople and ensure value for money and transparency in the implementation of projects and programsand a buy-in of the Plan from the wider public.The programs, policies and strategies under the 2nd generation CIDP are geared towards ensuring therealization of a sustainable and transformative agenda.
