Why Institutional Capacity Strengthening for Kenyan CSOs
• CSOs are at the forefront of health service delivery at the community level, and are integral to the health system. Yet:• They focus on service delivery and less on their own LMG• Their capacity development is often driven externally and
sometimes ad-hoc• There are no standards or indicators to measure their institutional
capacity
The result is Low Sustainability
