Kenya’s health sector experienced a significant decrease in external funding during the 2025/26 financial year. A recent report indicates a substantial decline in financial support from international donors.
A 2025 report by the University of Nairobi’s Centre for Epidemiological Modelling and Analysis (CEMA) reveals that total external funding for health in Kenya decreased sharply. The funding dropped from Sh126 billion to Sh54 billion.
The reduction in funding is attributed to major donors, including the United States, withdrawing or decreasing their support. This shift has resulted in a notable decrease in the overall financial resources available to the Kenyan health sector.
The decline in external funding raises concerns about the financial sustainability of crucial health programs. Specifically, there are worries about the continued financing of treatments for HIV, tuberculosis, and malaria.
