Abstract
Health insurance programs are frequently regarded as noteworthy social advances
and significant avenues for industrial expansion. Nevertheless, the task of improving NHIF
coverage and performance continues to present challenges, despite the existence of several
motivating considerations. Presently, the NHIF provides coverage to around 15.8% of the
population in Kenya; or almost 80% of individuals who own some type of health insurance.
The performance of the NHIF has been a subject of criticism, despite its extensive coverage.
The1main objective1of this1paper is1to1 examine the effects of resource mobilization on the
functioning of the NHIF in Machakos County. The study used a descriptive design. The target
population consisted of 93 staff of the NHIF from two of its branches and three satellite
offices located in Machakos County. The researchers employed the random stratified sampling
procedure to acquire a sample size of 76 participants. Primary data was gathered through the
utilization of questionaries. A preliminary investigation was undertaken to evaluate the
dependability and accuracy of the research tool. This pilot study involved the participation of
nine employees from Machakos County. Moreover, the application of descriptive statistics was
employed to calculate the mean deviation. The findings of the assessment were systematically
arranged, succinctly précised, effectively offered, and comprehensively comprehended through
the utilization of tables that distinctly illustrate the percentages and frequency. The study
established that financing of NHIF in Kenya was majorly based on premium collection,
Government budget allocation, tax financing, employer contributions, public-private
partnerships, donor funding, and the development of an efficient administration framework.
The study concludes that resource mobilization has a positive significant impact on the
performance of the NHIF in Machakos County. NHIF should develop a long-term resource
mobilization strategy that aligns with the NHIF's strategic goals and objectives.
