Title	:	Financing Conditions and Effective Donor Funds Utilization in the Health Sector in Nyanza Region, Kenya
Country	:	Kenya
Authors	:	ObwogeOngeniLukio || Anthony Wahome
	:	10.9790/487X-2001076672

Abstract: Donors play a critical part in the functioning of the national health systems of many countries in Africa. However, the streamlining of the funding regime to achieve effective utilization of donor funds still remains a challenge despite the imposition of financing conditions by the donors. Donors have consistently given funding conditions for their developmental aid and even explored different program financing models. Empirical evidence indicates that several implementing agencies in developing countries characteristically deviate from implementing the conditions that donors have set as a requirement for granting foreign aid and this considerably lowers the absorption rate of these funds into the intended projects. This, therefore, puts into question the effectiveness of the donor financing conditions on the effective utilization of donor funds. Therefore, the general objective of the study was to establish the influence of donor imposed financing conditions on effective utilization of donor funds.........
