Programming provides the critical link between policy and the rest of the PEM cycle. Programmes underpin the whole cycle as they (a) are designed to achieve desired policy objectives and outcomes (b) represent the building blocks of plans and budgets; (c) combine services delivered through the recurrent and development budget; and (d) are monitored and evaluated to determine if policies need review. The County Executive bears the core responsibility for ensuring that programs reflect the county’s policy intent.
