ksh.18billion thrown in the arm just "for health purposes"

Its reported that Danish Government has
committed Sh18 billion to support
various projects in Kenya, with
focus on improving health in 47
counties.
Speaking at a business network
forum in Nairobi on Monday, the
country’s Trade and Development
minister Mogens Jensen said the
amount will be disbursed over a
four-year period.
The governments of Kenya and
Denmark are currently in talks on
how best to direct the funds to the
devolved units. They are also
working on widening the scope of
the project to include green energy
and regional security apart from
devolution.
“Implementation of the project will
kick off next year through the
corporation policy programme
between Kenya and Denmark,” Mr
Jensen said.
Over the last 10 years, Kenya has
received support from the country
through the Danish International
Development Agency with over Sh7
billion going to health.
Danish Ambassador to Kenya Geert
Andersen last month said health is
a priority to them noting that they
will support Kenya to achieve its
goal in the sector.
He said through the third phase of
the Danish funded health sector
support programme, the country
will aggressively fund the sector in
Kenya this year.
