Expenditure Tracking Of Secondary Education Bursary Scheme In Kenya

Posted by Courtney Heck

Apr 28 2010

Introduced in 1993 by the Government of Kenya, the Secondary Education Bursary Fund was intended to ensure that students, particularly those living in poverty, were able to attend and stay in school, and to reduce disparities in secondary school education. The Institute of Policy Analysis and Research (IPAR), with the hypothesis that there were leakages in the fund and that it was not reaching all needy students, undertook a tracking survey to assess the level of demand for the scheme and the efficiency of the scheme.

Upcoming PETS Resource

As part of its new grant window on public expenditure tracking and absenteeism studies, TAP is producing a guide based on lessons learned, challenges faced, and strategies developed by former grantees. Following a six-step process from Developing a Topic to Undertaking Evidence-Based Advocacy, we will carefully outline the activities that PETS can involve and stories from practitioners who have been involved in "Learning by Doing" PETS exercises in the past. Expected Summer 2009.
