Most sectors in the Kenyan economy are reliant on donor financing to contribute to sector programmes. Donor financing compliments domestic revenue available for sectoral budgeting in almost all the sectors in Kenya.
Obtaining reliable data on current funding flows has always been a challenge. However, improved publishing over the past two years by many bilateral donors, IFIs and multilateral agencies using the International Aid Transparency Initiative (IATI) provides new opportunities. This analysis relies on disbursement data sourced from IATI, and focuses on spend by donor type and flow type, leading institutions and sectoral allocations. In this paper, we look at all disbursements – ODA, non-concessional Other Official Flows (OOF) and other flows to show what funding has crossed into the country and how activities on the ground are affected.
