Kenya is hoping to unlock up to Sh151.2 billion from the World Bank Group in the current 2026/2027 fiscal year as the multilateral lender remains the country's primary source of external financing in the absence of the International Monetary Fund (IMF).

A debt plan by the National Treasury for 2026 shows that Kenya expects funding from three World Bank support schemes, including: Sh94.2 billion from the Development Policy Operations (DPO), Sh52 billion from the Rapid Response Option (RRO), and Sh5 billion from the programme-for-results (PforR) window.
