County governments receive funding from three possible sources | |
---|---|
1) transfers from central government which comprise an equitable share allocated to all the 47 counties from national general revenue collections using a revenue allocation formula, conditional grants ring fenced for specific functions, and an equalization fund for the 14 previously marginalized counties | |
2) locally generated revenue | |
3) donor funding The county government authorities now have responsibility for budget allocation of these funds and annual planning. These county authorities also hold responsibility for developing the five-year county integrated development plan (CIDP) and five-year county strategic plan for health; health service delivery for level one to three services (community, primary and county referral services); recruitment and management of health workers and coordination of partners. |
