Mandate & Objectives

financial management practices within the entire Ministry
and coordinating the recurrent budget formulation processes.
The department undertakes procurement and disbursement
activities for execution of the administration budget and
coordinates compilation of the monthly recurrent budget
expenditure reports and the capital expenditure report for
submission to the Ministry of Finance & Development
Planning. One of the key functions of this department is to
provide support and supervision to all Accounts departments
of the different programmes including the districts, to
follow up on monthly reports and to ensure that all
programmes adhere to the established rules and regulations
governing the financial management practices in the public
sector. This department forms the vital with the Ministry of
finance & development Planning, for transactions such as
requests for supplementary budgets, virements between
programmes and between budget lines, negotiations for
extraordinary budget requests, in effect the finance
department is responsible for negotiating and facilitating
adequate budget allocations from Finance. This department
also liaises with the Project Accounting Unit which is
responsible for overseeing execution of the donor funded
capital budget, within the Health Planning and Statistics
Unit.
The key
challenge faced by the department is the severe shortage of
qualified accounts personnel for distribution to all the
programmes within the ministry. This shortage seriously
impedes the ability of the department to ensure sound
financial management practices and reliable reporting.
