STATEMENT BY THE CHAIRPERSON, BOARD OF MANAGEMENT His Excellency President Uhuru Kenyatta on 12th December 2017 announced his development agenda dubbed the ‘Big Four’ to bolster economic growth for the period 2018-2022. The ‘big four’ comprises of; Universal Health Coverage, Manufacturing, Affordable Housing and Food Security. NHIF has been tapped as the catalyst to drive the Universal Health Coverage (UHC) agenda.
Health is fundamental to the growth of the nation; it enables citizens to fully participate in vocation, contribute meaningfully to societal growth and enable the country to effectively compete on the global stage. Through Universal Health Coverage (UHC), it is expected that all people and communities will be able to access promotive, preventive, curative, rehabilitative and palliative quality health services, while ensuring that they are not exposed to financial hardship due to catastrophic medical expenditure.
The Government’s Vision which is captured in the Constitution of Kenya and Development Blue print aspires to ensure that all Kenyans access quality and affordable healthcare services. The National Health Insurance cover is one of the critical vehicles that the Government will use to achieve its constitutional obligation. NHIF has therefore scaled up its role in the achievement of the UHC through the Strategic Plan 2018-2022. The Strategic Plan, has put in place measures to guarantee accessible, affordable and sustainable health insurance. Therefore, we call upon all the stakeholders to help us realize this goal.

FOREWORD BY THE CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER
It is acknowledged that the greatest measure of wealth in a country is the people’s health. Kenya has made tremendous progress in addressing pressing health priorities through the provisions of the Kenya Constitution 2010, Vision 2030 and the Big Four (4) Agenda. With the current economic environment, comprising high inflation rates and medical fees, the need for Universal Health Coverage has become more pronounced than ever before. NHIF has taken the cue and has put in place measures to play its role in achievement of Universal Health Coverage; the main goal being to provide affordable, accessible, sustainable and quality health care to all Kenyans.
In order to align the Fund’s goals with the Vision 2030 and the Kenya Health Policy 2014-2030 blue Prints, NHIF has developed a 5- phase roadmap in line with these government aspirations of achieving universal health coverage. The idea is to ensure that all Kenyans are covered taking into consideration lessons learnt from the pilot phase. Additionally, an analysis of the implementation of Strategic Plan 2014-2018 has provided critical lessons on issues of social health insurance. These lessons have provided a strong foundation for the development of the 2018-2022 Strategic Plan.
The goals and objectives of the 2018-2019 Strategic Plan are set around four the-matic areas:
1. Quality Health Insurance Coverage.2. Financial Base.3. Institutional Capacity.4. Stakeholder Alliances and Partnerships
The successful implementation of the Strategic Plan calls for mutual cooperation between NHIF and all its stakeholders. In this regard, NHIF commits to sensitize stakeholders on the strategic plan and provide relevant information. More so, NHIF will continuously monitor and evaluate the implementation of the Strategic Plan and initiate mitigations measures in response to any risks identified. The commitment for the achievement of the 2018-2022 Strategic Plan goals requires involvement of all players and it is my strong believe that the five year period aspirations will become a reality.

CHAPTER ONE: INTRODUCTION
1.1 Establishment and MandateThe National Hospital Insurance Fund (NHIF) is a state corporation established un-der the National Insurance Fund Act, number 9 of 1998. Prior to this legislative reform the Fund existed as a department under the Ministry of Health since 1966. The Fund is mandated to facilitate access to quality healthcare through strategic resource pooling and healthcare purchasing in collaboration with stakeholders. NHIF works to secure financial risk protection against the cost of healthcare services for all Kenyan residents through prudent financial management of resources contributed by members from both formal and Informal sector of the economy.
1.2 Functions of NHIFThe functions of NHIF as established in the Act No 9 of 1998 are:- i) Receive all contributions and other payments required by this Act to be made to the Fund; ii) Make payments out of the Fund to declared hospitals in accordance with the provisions of this Act; iii) In consultation with the Minister, to set the criteria for the declaration of hos-pitals and to declare such hospitals in accordance thereto for the purposes of this Act; iv) Regulate the contributions payable to the Fund and the benefits and other payments to be made out of the Fund; v) Protect the interests of contributors to the Fund; vi) Advise the Minister on the national policy to be followed with regard to nation-al health insurance and to implement all Government policies relating thereto; andvii) Perform such other functions as are conferred on it by this Act or by any other written law.
1.3 Organizational Governance The Fund’s governance and management structure is organized as per recommend-ed international best practice for Semi-Autonomous Insurance Funds. The Board of Management (BoM) is the governing Body of NHIF as set out in the NHIF Act.
It is a representative Board with members nominated from designated stakeholder organizations such as Federation of Kenya Employers, Central Organization of Trade Unions; Kenya National Union of Teachers and the Kenya Union of Post Primary Ed-ucation Teachers; Kenya Medical Association; faith-based healthcare organizations; and government representatives such as Principal Secretary in the Ministry respon-sible for Health; Principal Secretary to the Treasury; Principal Secretary/Director of Personnel Management; Director of Medical Services; and a chairman appointed by the President by virtue of his/her knowledge and experience in matters relating to insurance, financial management, economics, health or business administration.
1
The Chief Executive Officer shall be an ex-officio member of the Board and is the Board Secretary.
The BoM is responsible for the review and approval of policies and monitoring the functions of NHIF. The day to day management of the Fund is the responsibility of the Chief Executive Officer, assisted by Management Directors in charge of Opera-tions and Quality Assurance, Finance and Investment, Strategy, Planning and Mar-keting, Human Resource and Administration Directorates’. Internal Audit Directorate reports to the Chief Executive Officer though it is answerable to BoM on its core mandate. Corporation Secretary and head of legal services reports to the Chief Ex-ecutive Officer but also responsible to the board on corporate governance matters. Other departments that report directly to the Chief Executive Officer include ICT, Supply Chain Management, and Corporate Communications.
1.4 Role of National Hospital Insurance Fund (NHIF) in Kenya’s Development AgendaSocial Health insurance has been recognized in the Kenya Vision 2030 as one of the pillars for Kenya to achieve Universal Health Coverage. In this regard, the Govern-ment has been promoting reforms in the National Hospital Insurance Fund (NHIF) to make it one of the key drivers for achieving universal health coverage.
Since 2013, these reforms have included, structural changes at NHIF to make the institution more effective and responsive to customer needs; reviewing the contri-butions rates; expanding the benefit package to include out-patient cover and new packages related to addressing non-communicable conditions; and instituting strat-egies to enrol more members. It is estimated that NHIF contributes over 10% of all health expenditure in the Country.
NHIF has already initiated effective recruitment strategies to ensure constant growth of members in both the formal and informal sectors. As at the end of the FY 2017/18, total membership stood at 7.6 Million; this translates to an overall cover-age of 27.2 Million Kenyans (principal contributors and their dependants), implying that over 50% of Kenyans are covered by NHIF. The target during the 3rd Medium Term Plan (2018-2022) period is to achieve over 70% health insurance coverage.
The increased membership has seen the Fund inject over KShs.33 billion in the Health Sector with projections to reach over KShs.100 billion by end of the Medium Term Plan 3 (MTP 3) period. NHIF is also playing a major role in Social Health Pro-tection through the implementation of the insurance subsidy programme among the poor and vulnerable groups. In the FY 2016/17, NHIF with the support of the Na-tional Government provided insurance cover to 160,422 households under the Health Insurance Subsidy Programme (HISP) and 41,666 Older Persons and Persons with se-vere Disabilities (OP & PWSD).

It is expected that county governments will take the cue and replicate similar pro-grammes at the county level.
NHIF will continue to play its rightful role in the realization of the Kenya Vision 2030 goals particularly with regard to the health sector.
1.5 Healthcare financing and the move towards Universal Health coverageThe healthcare financing pillar of the health system plays a critical role in facili-tating access to affordable and quality healthcare and providing financial protection against catastrophic healthcare expenditure. The goal of progressive health financ-ing strategy is to facilitate ‘ensuring adequacy, efficiency and fairness in financing of health services in a manner that guarantees all citizens access to essential health services they require. Only through this shall the country be able to attain the quality health services needed for attaining the highest possible standard of health.
The goal is built around three targets, and three focus areas namely; mobiliza-tion of resources required to provide the essential health services for the citizens; maximization of efficiency and value for money in the management and utilization of available health resources; and ensuring equity in mobilization and allocation of health funds to guarantee fairness in use.
The financing strategy should aim to achieve these objectives through a strategic agenda that targets interventions in three areas: mobilization, allocation and utili-zation. The area of resource mobilization will focus on defining the different sources of funds for health and strategies to mobilize the same, with an emphasis on do-mestic sources. The area of resource allocation on the other hand will focus on how the mobilized resources will be managed, with an emphasis on ensuring pooling, while the area of resource utilization will focus on how the resources will be used to purchase the essential services that the population needs.
Universal Health Coverage (UHC) is currently a global development priority as elabo-rated in various development forums and agreements. The Sustainable Development Goals (SDG’s) that reflected on the global consensus on development priorities, give emphasis on the achievement of the universal health coverage. SDG number 3 deals with health and 3.8 specifically aims to Achieve universal health coverage, including financial risk protection, access to quality essential health-care services and access to safe, effective, quality and affordable essential medicines and vaccines for all’.
On 12th December 2017, His Excellency President Uhuru Kenyatta announced his new plan, the ‘Big Four’, which will guide the development agenda of the coun-try in the period 2018-2022. It focuses on key basic needs that are critical in up-lifting the living standard of Kenyans which is on the path to becoming an upper middle-income country by 2030. Prioritized is affordable and decent housing, food and nutritional security, employment creation through manufacturing and affordable healthcare.

These four areas are expected to bolster strong and inclusive economic growth.
Health insurance penetration in Kenya has been on the rise since 2013 and has reached relatively high levels compared to other countries in the region. Special ini-tiatives being implemented have contributed to the rise of Health Insurance Subsidy Programme and Linda Mama Programme (Free Maternity Service). The Scaling up of health insurance to all Kenyans and building of partnership and collaboration be-tween levels of government as well as working closely with the health service pro-viders in the private sectors is key in the realization of universal health coverage.
Many medium and low income counties including Kenya are reforming and reorganiz-ing their health systems to achieve UHC as part of their national development goals. Special focus is being given to reforming and strengthening the health care financing pillar among the other pillars which are all essential for the achievement of UHC.
The Government of Kenya is implementing the social health insurance through NHIF as the main mechanism of demand side healthcare financing and risk pooling to-wards achieving UHC. Globally, social health insurance schemes have unique char-acteristics which are relevant to the enhancement of UHC and are incorporated in this strategy:
The Constitution of Kenya 2010 provides that every person has a right to the highest attainable standard of health. It further stipulates that the State shall provide ap-propriate social security to persons who are unable to support themselves and their dependants. The Constitution introduces a devolved system of County Government to enhance access to services by all Kenyans, especially those in rural and hard-to-reach areas. The Constitution singles out health care for specific groups such as children and persons living with disabilities while the Kenya Health Policy seeks to make the right to health by all Kenyans a reality (MoH, 2012).
Kenya Vision 2030 is the Country’s development blueprint covering the period be-tween 2008 and 2030. It aims at transforming Kenya into a newly industrializing, middle-income Country providing a high quality life to all its citizens by the year 2030. The blueprint is anchored on three pillars: social, economic, and political.
Kenya’s Health sector thus provides one of the most important components for ad-dressing issues of equity and the broader national socio-economic agenda in line with the aspirations of the social pillar of the Kenya Vision 2030. The sector’s goal is, “to attain equitable, affordable, accessible and quality health care for all Kenyan citizens” and thereby, reduce health inequalities while also reversing the downward trend that has been seen in health-related outcome and impact indicators. There-fore, the government intends to achieve the Universal Health Coverage by 2022.

1.6 Emerging Issues and Challenges in the Health Sector The health sector is guided by relevant provisions of the Constitution of Kenya 2010, among which is the “right to the highest attainable standard of health and the right to basic nutrition”. The health sector is also aware that the devolution of gov-ernance requires properly designed systems of fiscal management; evidence based planning, effective human resource planning, proper and effective coordination, po-litical goodwill and selfless leadership to ensure efficient and effective service deliv-ery through the devolved governments. Some of the areas where the sector faces challenges include:
a) Service delivery:i) Communicable Conditions; Communicable diseases account for the highest proportion of disease burden in the sector. ii) Non-Communicable Conditions; Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) such as hypertension, heart disease, diabetes, cancer and substance abuse continue to exert pressure on the health systems. There is also an emerging trend of comorbidities between these NCDs and HIV. iii) Maternal and Child Health and Nutrition; Inadequate emergency services for delivery, under-utilization of existing antenatal services and inadequate skills and competences of health workers. b) Human Resources for Health:The sector still faces challenges of skewed distribution of skilled health workers with some areas of the country facing significant gaps while others have optimum/surplus numbers. Increased industrial unrest among various cadres of healthcare workers agitating for better working conditions and terms ofemployment has posed a serious challenge in service delivery.
c) Health care Financing:Key challenges in healthcare financing include:i) Low total funding of healthcare in the country (7% of Total Government Budget against Abuja target of 15%).See figure 3.ii) Inefficiencies in the use of available funds (both technical and allocative inef-ficiencies). In the case of insurance schemes, benefit utilization management has been weak.iii) Leakages in the flow of healthcare funds of over 30% (As per various public expenditure tracking surveys)iv) Multiple fragmented health insurance pools both at national, county, donor and private sector levelsv) Low levels of health insurance coverage (about 17% coverage). This means that a significant proportion of Kenya’s population do not contribute towards the insur-ance fund. vi) Inadequate funding for research and development for the health sector since independence, there have been multiple initiatives to reform the healthcare financ-ing system in Kenya and to address the challenges mentioned above.
5
d) Health Products and Technologies (HPT): Inadequate budgetary provision for the procurement and distribution of supplies to public health facilities.
e) Health Infrastructure: There is inadequate infrastructure and skewed distribution of available infrastruc-ture within the sector with a strong bias towards the urban areas. There also exists obsolete health equipment that requires replacement. To address this challenge the GoK in 2015-2017 implemented the Managed Equipment Service (MES) project that upgraded medical equipment for diagnosis and treatment of various medical condi-tions in 2 hospitals in each of the 47 counties.
f) Leadership and governance:i. There is weak multi-sectoral coordination in the sector particularly on devolu-tion and Human resource management. ii. Lack of a decentralized trade union, for health workers, to adapt the constitu-tional requirement to enter into a recognition agreement with county governments.iii. Failure to adhere to set standards and regulations has contributed to counterfeit drugs entering the Kenyan market.iv. Weak regulation and coordination of conventional and traditional medicine. v. Ineffective multi-sectoral coordination of nutrition programmes in Ministries, Counties, Departments and Agencies.
g) Health research and development coordination: There is ineffective coordination of the various organizations conducting health re-search in the country coupled with limited accountability.
h) Healthcare quality and accreditation:Healthcare quality is generally low across public and private healthcare facilities as measured by the MOH standards & Norms and the KQMH system. There is large variability of service quality within and between healthcare providers. Other than the first registration by the various regulatory councils, there is no nationally agreed accreditation system of health care providers and NHIF was compelled by circum-stances to play this role. The current categorization of healthcare providers was mainly developed for public sector providers. There has been ineffective coordina-tion between the various regulatory councils/boards in ensuring quality (and hence effectiveness and efficiency of health care). It is nearly impossible to do accurate costing of healthcare services as the quality is unknown. The newly passed Health Act will go a long way in addressing these critical gaps.
i) Climate change: Climate change continues to affect human health due to weather variables, indi-rectly through natural systems such as disease vectors and human systems such as under nutrition there by affecting human health and well-being.

1.7 Scope of Work and Methodology Used to Develop the Plan The Strategic Plan formulation has enabled us to examine the contextual environ-ment in which we operate; explore the factors and trends that affect the way we perform our core functions; seek to meet and fulfill our vision and mission; frame strategic issues which must be addressed; and develop and implement strategies and action programmes for attaining the predetermined objectives. The formulation and implementation of this roadmap is expected to positively impact the Fund and its constituents.
The process of developing this Plan relied heavily on an extensive review of the rel-evant documents including Vision 2030, First MTP (2008-2012), MTP II, MTP III Draft Health Sector, Mid Term Review of the Kenya Health Sector Strategic and Investment Plan, Kenya Health Policy (KHP 2014 – 2030), Kenya Health Sector Strategic and Investment Plan (KHSSP, July 2014 - June 2018) and the Constitution among other documents in the Health Sector.
The planning team used a self-administered questionnaire to collect primary data from all NHIF Staff. The questionnaire elicited information on past performance, current status and the projected operating environment of the Fund. More informa-tion was collected through key informant interviews using a questionnaire/interview guide. The pertinent data was analyzed to identify and prioritize the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats (challenges) facing the Fund. This further culminated in the identification of strategic issues and development of the strategic framework in terms of the vision, mission, core values, objectives and strategies.
Finally, a strategy planning workshop was held in November 2017 with Senior Man-agement. The workshop culminated in the formulation of the Vision and Mission statements as well as agreeing on the core values. On the basis of the revised mission, vision and core values, objectives were developed and relevant strategies crafted. There was also a consultative meeting held in November 2017 with key stakeholders including the Kenya Medical Association (KMA) and COTU among others.
Subsequently, their strategic insights have been incorporated into the Plan. The views of the NHIF Board of Directors were received at different stages of the for-mulation that is, in December 2017, March 2018 and finally in July 2018 when they discussed and approved the Strategic Plan. The Strategic Plan was discussed with the Cabinet Secretary Ministry of Health in October 2018.

1.8 Organization of the Strategic PlanThe Plan is organized around Seven Chapters. Chapter 1 sets out the introduction and background giving the justification for developing the Plan. Chapter 2 outlines the Situation Analysis within which is a review of the 2014-2018 Strategic Plan, SWOT and Stakeholder analysis. The Strategic Framework is summarized in Chapter 3. Chapter 4 is a breakdown on the Balanced Score Card. Chapter 5 focuses on how the Plan will be implemented while Chapter 6 presents the resource flows, revenue and expenditure projections. The Final Chapter (Chapter 7) summarizes the moni-toring and evaluation mechanism of the Plan.

CHAPTER 2: SITUATION ANALYSIS
2.1 Preamble
This Chapter presents a summary of the achievements, challenges and lessons learnt during the implementation of the 2014 -2018 Strategic Plan. It also covers past per-formance review in terms of staff perceptions on NHIF Performance and the exter-nal and competitor analysis. These analyses lead to identification of key strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, threats (SWOT) as well as a presentation of the stake-holder analysis matrix.
2.2 Review of 2014 – 2018 Strategic Plan
The previous five-year strategic plan was implemented from 2014 to 2018. The plan had been developed to enable the Fund to position itself as a “Hunter Organiza-tion” with the overall objective of ensuring increased number of Kenyans accessing quality and equitable health care through the health insurance. To ensure achieve-ment of the set goals and objectives, emphasis was laid on reengineering the Fund’s processes to improve service delivery, quality management, increase access, poli-cy reviews & implementation, review of the contributions, benefit maximization, ICT capacity enhancement and overall efficiency gains to reduce the administrative costs. The key thematic areas for the Strategic Period were;
Enhancing customer relationships Improving operating quality & efficiency and Enhancing channels & offerings .
The Strategic plan majorly focussed on expansion of coverage in the informal sec-tor and those of the indigent population through government support; stakeholder engagement and public and private partnerships strengthening to ensure the Fund worked in harmony with stakeholders.
End of the period evaluation of the plan established that best implementation sta-tus of planned activities was observed under increasing coverage where principal Members increased from 5.4M in 2014/15 to 7.6M in 2017/18; as well as the review of benefit packages to include outpatient and special packages. Further, key im-plementation gaps were observed in delayed development of planned policies and development of information system to related initiatives like e-claims, CRM system and the e-procurement. The evaluation report provided key lessons in the devel-opment of the 2018-2022 Strategic Plan. The table below summarises the achieve-ments, challenges and lessons learnt during the Strategic Period 2014-2018;

CHAPTER 3: STRATEGIC FRAMEWORK
3.1 Introduction The strategic framework comprises the mandate, core functions, vision, mission, values, themes, issues, objectives and corresponding strategies.
3.2 Mandate The mandate of NHIF is to facilitate access to quality healthcare through strategic resource pooling and healthcare purchasing in collaboration with stakeholders
3.3 Core FunctionsThe core functions of NHIF are to:- i. Receive all contributions and other payments required by this Act to be made to the Fund; ii. Make payments out of the Fund to declared hospitals in accordance with the provisions of this Act; iii. In consultation with the Minister, to set the criteria for the declaration of hospitals and to declare such hospitals in accordance thereto for the purposes of this Act; iv. Regulate the contributions payable to the Fund and the benefits and other payments to be made out the Fund; v. Protect the interests of contributors to the Fund; vi. Advise the Minister on the national policy to be followed with regard to na-tional health insurance and to implement all Government policies relating thereto; and vii. Perform such other functions as are conferred on it by this Act or by any other written law.
3.4 Vision Statement World Class Universal Social Health Insurer
3.5 Mission Statement To contribute towards universal health coverage in the provision of affordable, ac-cessible, sustainable and quality health insurance through strategic resource pool-ing and healthcare purchasing in collaboration with stakeholders
3.6 Core Value Statements Value statements constitute a set of beliefs and standards of behaviour that drive the NHIF agenda. The following are our values and are essential and must be up-held as they are key to corporate culture and identity:
•Customer Responsiveness: We commit ourselves to attaining the highest stan-dards in service delivery to all stakeholders’ expectations.
19
3030
•Ethics and Professionalism: We are committed to acting in an honest, account-able, transparent and competent manner.
•Team Spirit: We embrace a participatory approach in all our activities.
•Partnerships and Collaborations: We are committed to working with other stake-holders for effective service delivery.
•Innovation and Creativity: We will embrace change and continuous improvement in our service delivery.
•Corporate Social Sustainability: We shall ensure good corporate citizenship and value to communities by ensuring compliance with our legal and statutory obliga-tions. We will be sensitive to issues that affect the environment.
3.7 Value PropositionIn the wake of the global and national drive to reform and reorganize health sys-tems, the Fund has enhanced its approach towards health financing to enable the attainment of Universal Health Coverage. This enhancement has led to the inevita-ble change in the Funds value proposition.
Conventionally, conversations on health system value have focused on quality over cost assessment as entrenched from the perspective of the organisation. However, this Strategic Plan, while still observing conventional paradigms, has given signif-icant consideration to customer & stakeholder satisfaction. This has been charac-terized by the development of deliberate strategies aimed at improving accessibil-ity to services, enhancing the product mix and educating stakeholders. All these efforts are expected to steer the country towards the attainment of UHC by 2022 through increasing the Funds number of principal members from 7 million to 19 million in the implementation period.
Building on achievements of strategic plans, this Strategic Plan describes strategies aimed at enhancing all sectors. In this regard, the Fund has remodelled its value chain. The value chain defines support activities which have a focus on strength-ening of internal controls which are expected to be instrumental in realization of primary activities. These activities are expected to pave the way for customer and stakeholder value creation.

CHAPTER 5: PLAN IMPLEMENTATION
5.1 IntroductionThis chapter operationalizes the strategic objectives by linking plan formulation to monitoring and evaluation. It also identifies the staffing needs and how each functional area fits into the plan.
5.2 Implementation/Action Plan The implementation plan has documented what needs to be done, when it needs to be done, by who, and the resources needed to do it. The plan is the basis upon which monitoring and evaluation framework of the strategic plan will be developed. The relevant action plan matrices for the strategy is presented in Annex 1.
5.3 Organizational Structure and Human CapacityThe organization structure has been reviewed to align it to the strategies as shown in figure 5 below.
Figure 5 shows the NHIF High Level organizational structure.
5.4 Coordination MechanismNHIF will establish coordinating mechanisms to bring appropriate agencies together to determine level of appropriate involvement, timelines and provision of resources required for specific programmes and projects.
32
The operationalization of this coordination framework will be critical in realization of the Fund’s Vision. NHIF will therefore maintain and enhance these stakeholder relationships.
5.5 AccountabilityOverall, the Board of Directors will be responsible for the general monitoring and evaluation of the Plan’s implementation and prioritization of the projects to be undertaken. The Chief Executive, Heads of Department will, on the other hand, be responsible for the day-to-day implementation and monitoring and evaluation of actual performance. The quantitative and qualitative targets set in the Plan will be implemented through Annual Performance Contracts and target setting in individual staff work plans. 5.6 Risk and Risk ManagementThe implementation of this Plan is potentially exposed to various risks, among them, strategic, operational, financial and technological risks. NHIF will forecast possible risks under these categories and determine mitigation measures as depicted in Table 5.1.
The internal coordination mechanism will be achieved through periodic meetings and reporting systems of various management and administrative organs of NHIF including the Board of Directors and its standing committees, the senior management and departmental committees, and other operational units in the organization structure. The implementation (action plan) matrices (Annex 1) which clearly show what will be done and who will be responsible, among other details, will also be a principal coordinative mechanism.
The external coordination mechanism will primarily rest with the Board of Directors who represent key stakeholders. NHIF is also a member of national, regional and international agencies and other professional bodies. Such memberships and alliances will provide the much needed coordination of the Fund’s strategic and operational activities as depicted in Figure 6.

CHAPTER 6: RESOURCE FLOWS
6.1 Resource Mobilization
Successful implementation of the Strategic Plan will depend not only on the qual-ity and commitment of staff but also on the availability and efficient utilization of other resources. 6.2 Budgetary Requirements
The projected funds required for implementing the pertinent strategies,pro-grammes and projects outlined in this Plan are summarized in Table 6.1.
The Plan will be achieved through various strategies and activities. The financial resources required for implementing the strategies and activities are outlined in the implementation matrix. The total amount required for the period 2018/19-2022/23 is 9.286 Billion.
The financial resources expected to be generated from internal and external sources over the same period, based on the projected cash inflows as outlined in Table 6.2 is Ksh 87 Billion. Table 6.1 gives the financial resource requirements for all the stra-tegic issues while Table 6.2 and 6.3 outline the projected cash inflows and outflows respectively over the Strategic Plan period.

CHAPTER 7: MONITORING, EVALUATION AND REPORTING
7.1 Preamble Monitoring implementation of the strategic plan constitutes systematic tracking of activities and actions to assess progress. Progress will be measured against specific targets and schedules included in the Plan. The monitoring will identify difficulties and problem areas, with necessary immediate remedial action, thereby ensuring that the relevant targets are achieved. Regular reporting at all levels is necessary for follow-up and record keeping.
7.2 Strategies for Monitoring and Evaluation (M & E)7.2.1 Plan Implementation TeamThe Strategy & Planning Division Team will follow up and ensure that strategies are being imple-mented, performance measured, progress reports are made and discussed, and corrective action is taken when necessary.
7.2.2 Cascading the Plan to all cadres of StaffThe Plan and its targets will be cascaded downwards to the lowest positions. This will help each member of staff to understand and plan for their respective roles.
7.2.3 Departmental and Individual Annual Work PlansDetailed annual work plans with clear performance indicators and assigned responsibilities for their achievement will be developed. Key indicators that will inform management decision making will be identified and the frequency of reporting on these indicators will be determined. This will form the foundation of the Monitoring and Evaluation (M & E) system.
7.2.4 Data and Information Collection ProceduresElaborate data and information collection templates and procedures will be developed to capture performance as per the indicators and report appropriately to management. These procedures will be incorporated into existing and functional operating manuals so that they become part of regular work.
7.2.5 Regular/Periodic Meetings Monthly Review Meetings at the Directorate/Divisional/Departmental levels will be scheduled to en-sure implementation is on track. Quarterly review meetings at the Management level will be sched-uled to get and give feedback on pertinent performance indicators. The overall oversight of the Strategic Plan and its implementation is a critical role of the Board of Directors. Therefore progress reporting will be an Agenda Item in all Board Meetings.
7.3 Monitoring Tools NHIF will apply both quantitative and qualitative tools to monitor performance of respective De-partments. The major techniques of monitoring and evaluation that shall be used are customer satisfaction, employee satisfaction surveys, cost-benefit analysis, variance analysis, ratio analysis and budgets.
7.3.1 Cost-Benefit AnalysisCost benefit analysis shall be done from time to time to evaluate the various activities and proj-ects. This shall assist management in decision making and on what to prioritize in terms of strategy implementation.
7.3.2 Variance AnalysisThe Management will compare the performance targets with the actual results to reveal any varianc-es. As a consequence of variance analysis and identification of causes, NHIF shall take appropriate remedial actions.
45 38
49
7.3.3 Ratio AnalysisPertinent ratios will be calculated quarterly, semi-annually and annually and the actual results com-pared with the target ratios. The differences between target and actual ratios will be identified and analyzed. This analysis will invoke appropriate remedial actions. Trend analysis of the ratios will also be depicted to more clearly show which way the performance is heading. 7.3.4 Budgetary ControlUnder this monitoring and evaluation process, actual revenues and expenses will continually be checked against planned results and variances investigated. If necessary, action plans will be changed so that they are brought in line with the budgeted results or the budget will be amended to take account of new developments.
7.3.5 Customer Satisfaction Surveys NHIF shall undertake internal customer satisfaction surveys as well as independent survey to estab-lish customer perceptions and determine Customer satisfaction index.
7.3.6 Employee Satisfaction SurveysNHIF shall undertake annual employee satisfaction surveys to determine the satisfaction levels of its staff and draw recommendations for implementation towards improving their welfare.
7.4 Progress ReportsProgress reports will regularly be prepared by the implementing Departments as per the budgetary cycles. The Plan Implementation Team will act as the internal consultant to assist the Departments in preparation and presentation of reports. The reports will describe actions taken by the Depart-ments toward achieving specific outcomes and strategies of the Plan and may include costs, bene-fits, performance measures, and progress to date.
7.5 Annual Review and End Term EvaluationAt the end of each financial year, a report will be produced and released to the public. An end term review will also be carried out at the end of the financial year 2022/23 and summarize the results in terms of lessons learnt. These lessons will inform the next planning cycle and the same shared with both internal and external stakeholders.
7.6 Linking M & E to Annual Performance Contracts and Appraisals To be action-oriented, plans will translate to work. The Fund’s performance objectives (targets) will therefore be translated into Directorate objectives. The latter will in turn be translated into Departmental, Sectional and Individual objectives and targets. Implementation will be in line with the Performance Contracting guidelines. The performance contract targets will inform NHIF staff performance appraisal and reward systems.
7.7 Monitoring & Evaluation FrameworkThe Monitoring & Evaluation framework will provide direction on performance monitoring & evaluation of the 2018-2022 Strategic Plan. The framework shall guide decision making by categorizing the implications of progress or lack of it being made by the organization and provide information on progress and results.
The monitoring and reporting will be based on the balance scorecard system. The relevant sources of information for reporting will be system reports, financial management reports, surveys, special evaluations and researches. The reporting and learning activities will follow the sequence elaborated in the table:
