The Kenya study, part of a series of case studies by the
Education and Finance Working Group, explores ways of
reinforcing the capacity and competence of the Ministry of
Education in Kenya in building a framework for collaboration,
information exchange and the optimal use of financial resources.
The series analyses the best practices used in managing and
allocating resources, and evaluating the education sector.
The study further highlights challenges in determining who
should finance what in the cost-sharing scheme, how to counter
the imbalance in allocations between personnel and non personnel
salaries, poor management of resources and lack of
accountability, and effectively handle centralised budgeting and
management systems and the weaknesses in the harmonisation of
policy, planning and budgeting.
The
study is rich in detail and offers original directions for a
comparison with other African experiences.
