Today, Principal Secretary State Department for Co-operatives Mr. Patrick Kilemi officially opened the workshop for drafting the Strategic Plan for the State Department.
The Fourth Medium Term Plan (MTP IV) has been completed, and it’s time to fastrack the strategies to implement the 5-year national development plan.
The Strategic Plan is going to be particularly important in specifying the actions that are going to be taken to achieve the development aspirations in the MTP IV. The preparation of the Strategic Plan is fast-tracked to ensure an actionable plan by the end of the first quarter.
The MTP IV mainstreams the Bottom Up Economic Transformation Agenda, where Cooperatives are expected to play a huge supporting role in the actualization of the Plan.
The PS emphasizes the importance of internal and external partnerships in meeting our responsibilities in the national development agenda. We must comprehensively identify our partners and the roles they play in the delivery of our mandates.
“We must also align the strategic plan to the Cooperative Transformation Strategy that was recently developed to be consistent with the aspirations of the cooperative movement.” PS Kilemi.
The PS reiterated that we must reflect on what we have already committed ourselves to and identify strategic issues limiting the potential of the State Department to perform its role in the next five years and assured his full support for the process.
