The
Democratic Governance Support Programme (DGSP)
Free
Primary Education (FPE)
FPE
was established in January 2003 through the government’s
National Alliance Rainbow Coalition (NARC) manifesto. The
fund aims to address financing and quality challenges in
primary schooling. It targets all Kenyan children attending
formal and non-formal public schools. Emphasis is however
directed towards children from poor households. The fund
comprises an allocation equivalent to Kshs. 1,020 per child
per annum with the amount disbursed to a constituency/district
based on the number of pupils enrolled in schools within
that area. The first allocation is for the purchase of teaching
and learning materials; the second allocation is for general-purpose,
while the third is for operations and maintenance. Communities
are expected to participate in the management and implementation
through school committees. Respective head teachers and school
committees make procurement decisions.
