Sustainable Financing for Priority Programs in Kenya : A Technical Review of Priority Programs in Kenya
Kenya has experienced sustained economic growth over the past few years. The country’s gross domestic product (GDP) has grown at an average annual rate of 5.2 percent over the past 10 years (2007 to 2016). The rebasing of its national accounts in 2...

| description |
Kenya has experienced sustained
economic growth over the past few years. The country’s gross
domestic product (GDP) has grown at an average annual rate
of 5.2 percent over the past 10 years (2007 to 2016). The
rebasing of its national accounts in 2014 resulted in an
upward revision of the country’s GDP per capita and its
re-classification as a lower middle-income country (LMIC).
Kenya’s economic prospects mean that the country is
surpassing critical income eligibility thresholds for
international financing and is bound to experience reduced
international financing for its priority programs. This
technical review analyzed the design and financing of five
priority programs in Kenya (immunization, human
immunodeficiency virus and acquired immunodeficiency
syndrome (HIV and AIDS), tuberculosis, malaria and
reproductive health) in relation to their sustainability as
Kenya transitions from a donor dependent country, to one
that predominantly finances health through domestic
resources. The review forms the first phase of work, which
involves conducting a detailed analytical assessment and
synthesis of a wide range of studies to assess the financing
and delivery of immunization and other priority programs in
Kenya. The report will serve as a one-stop-shop for the
government, partners, and other stakeholders interested in
sustainable financing and integration of vertical programs
in health service delivery. The second phase of the work
will draw on findings and recommendations from the first
phase to support the national and county governments to
implement interventions that will improve Kenya’s readiness
to transition its priority health programs towards being
sustainably financed. |
