| dc.description.abstract | The objective of this study was to analyse the effect of donor funding on
the performance of water utilities in Kenya. The study employed the use
of a census by targeting all 88 regulated Water Services Providers (WSPs)
in Kenya for a period of two years, 2016 and 2017. Data pertaining to the
support received from the donors were obtained from the publications of
the WSPs, Development Partners, Civil Society Organisations (CSOs), and
Office of Auditor General (OAG). Performance data of the various WSPs
were extracted from the Impact reports produced by Water Regulatory
Board (WASREB), for the periods 2016/7 to 2017/8. Presentation of the
data was done through the use of tables and charts with the application
of SPSS. The study found that donor funding issued as Output Based
Approach (OBA) leads to improved performance. This finding is
expected to assist the Kenyan Government in negotiating for the Official
Development Assistance (ODA) funding to be aligned to the government
flagship projects under the Medium Term Plans (MTP). The study
recommends OBA as the best way of issuing donor f | en_US |
