The national government is funded through various channels and allocates specific proportions to each Ministry. The Ministry of Finance sets 3-year budget ceilings for each sector rather than each sector submitting a budget request based on actual needs. The Ministry of Health (MoH) then distributes the funds through the county Health Management Boards in each county (Nyakundi et al., 2011).
