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 centralized budgeting
and management systems and the weaknesses in the harmonization of policy,
planning and budgeting. The study is rich in detail and offers original
directions for a comparison with other African experiences.

budgetary procedures at the local educational directorates, underscores
issues plaguing the financing of education, and suggests solutions for

Policies, Procedures and Strategies for the Allocation of Resources
for Education in Sub-Saharan Africa

by Beedeeanum Conhye and Medjomo Coulibaly.
ADEA Working Group on Finance and Education, CODESRIA, 1999. ISBN: 92-9178-006-5.
Also exists in French.
Contrary to other areas of the education sector,
research in educational financing raises only timid interest in sub-Saharan
Africa. Yet, financing is one of the keys to transforming educational
systems into veritable instruments of socio-economic and technical development.
This literature review carries out an examination of budgetary processes
and procedures through various national experiences. It includes several
financing and cost-sharing experiences at the primary and secondary
levels. It also examines non-government financing in the light of the
changes that have occurred in recent decades. The paper concludes by
proposing future directions for education research.
