The County health planning committee comprising of the county executive committee member for health, county director of health, county health management team, county planning officer, and representatives from sub-county HMT, hospital HMT and partners, directed the activities and process of development of this plan.

The Elgeyo Marakwet County governor officially commissioned the strategic planning process after which the county health management team converged for a strategic planning induction workshop conducted by the national core planning team. The CHMT then briefed the sub county management and the hospital management teams on the strategic planning tools, after which the sub county teams used the tools to generate, from their respective sub-counties, specific content and background details for the plan.

The next step was the strategic planning workshop that brought together county health sector stakeholders including county and sub-county health teams, hospital and facility teams, partners, political and community leaders. The workshop consolidated and processed the information earlier gathered and came up with a zero draft strategic plan. The zero draft went through various stakeholder reviews before being presented to the county executive committee member for health. The CEC member for health then shared the draft with the county assembly committee for health who after vetting presented to the county assembly for approval. Finally, the county governor launched the plan for implementation.
