Capacity Building

This program has expanded from one off training in 2005 into systematic and focused interventions ranging from capacity assessment, training, mentoring, granting and verifying use of knowledge, skills and financing. Some of mentoring organizations did not require capacity assessment because they were based on HIV work place program. The following achievements have been noted:

1.  94 organizations were assessed through HDT organizational capacity assessment methods; including Health Training Institutions. They were also trained on Organizational design and development, project management and programming and quality service delivery; 31 organizations received grants; 80 organizations received mentoring for organization development;

2.  209 people trained on organization development, advocacy, networking and technical skills on management of HIV/AIDS programs;
