Introduction

The previous chapter (Chapter 2) focused on the key development priorities of the Municipality. This Chapter concentrates on the Development Projections for the period (2022 – 2025) based on the needs assessment and sets out the goals, objectives and strategies for achieving the desired outcomes.

Development Projections

Development is not an activity but an ongoing process and as such interventions must take care of the current situation as well as the future. It is therefore necessary to make projections to efficiently plan for the future.

The population and its dynamics are projected to ascertain the additional social and economic infrastructure that will be needed within the planning period.

The development interventions are estimated based on the projected population and projected financial inflows.

Based on the population of the Municipality which stood at 94,621 according to the 2021 Population and Housing Census, projection is made to show the population of the Municipality from 2022 to 2025 with a growth rate of 4.42. The formula for computation is Pt= P0Ert , where;

Pt = projected population, P0 = base year population, E = constant (2.718), r = growth rate and t =time interval.
