Geography Decentralization health sector reform health inequality in Kenya HIV &38 AIDS in Kenya The 1980’s and 1990’s were characterized by considerable debate on decentralization in the developing world. While advocates argued that decentralization would bring government, and therefore delivery of services closer to users, opponents pointed to potential problems including ‘elite capture’ of the decision making process, disparities in regional resource endowments and corruption. This thesis uses the decentralization framework to investigate the outcomes of health sector reforms in Kenya, especially allocation of HIV & AIDS mitigation resources. A desk review of relevant literature was employed, but the research was also augmented by limited primary data. Findings indicate that though the government embraced a diversity of policies, the broader objectives of reforms, to enhance quality and geographical coverage of health services, remain elusive. 2009-08-14 English text Ohio University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ohiou1244583992 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ohiou1244583992 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
