Public Finance Management

The Lake Region Budget Hub, operating within the Lake Region Economic Bloc (LREB), encompassing counties like Kisumu, Siaya, Homa Bay, Migori, Busia, Kakamega, Vihiga, Bungoma, Trans Nzoia, Kisii, and Nyamira, centers its interventions on strengthening Public Finance Management (PFM) as the foundation for equitable resource allocation and accountability. As part of the broader Bajeti Hub network, LRBH conducts rigorous budget analysis, including virtual sessions on the County and National Programme-Based Budget, focusing on revenue, expenditures, pending bills, and capital projects. The budget champions and facilitators across the region have actively participated in the analysis of the county and national budgets and developed budget info packs to inform public participation and fiscal responsibility. Other key interventions in the PFM include participation of the hub in the County Budget Transparency Survey development of the tool, research and disseminating the result across all the counties. This has contributed towards enhanced coordination for transparency in our region.
