Kenya’s Public Benefit Organizations Regulatory Authority (PBORA) and its predecessor publish annual sector reports. The financial amounts here come from those reports. Tables display billions of Kenyan shillings (KES) rounded to two decimals. The downloads retain the reported amounts and source pages.
Who is counted in the reports
The regulator’s cumulative and active registration counts describe the register at each report’s cutoff. Filing counts describe the period’s submissions. The reports draw their receipt figures from reported finances. The composition of that reporting group can change across years.
| Report year | Registrations since inception | Active at cutoff | Annual reports | Audited accounts |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2022/23 | 12,643 | 10,279 | 2,829 | 1,188 |
| 2023/24 | 13,602 | 11,236 | 2,988 | 1,295 |
| 2024/25 | 14,287 | 9,609 | 3,212 | 1,034 |
Search Kenya’s official organization register by name or reference. PBORA’s transition advisory says an organization can receive a new reference while retaining its earlier one. The figures below describe groups of filers. Linking an amount to a specific organization requires its own public financial records.
Where reported receipts came from
The geographic categories describe the reported sources of funds. Add the geographic rows only within a year and use the report total once. The 2023/24 geographic rows sum to KES 0.01 less than the published total. The download keeps that difference visible.

For projects in Kenya, the expenditure table reports KES 141.79 billion. The same report’s sector table gives a total of KES 135.61 billion. Keep those figures tied to their respective tables. Connecting particular incoming funds to spending or measuring outcomes would require transaction or program records.
