Toolkit for capacity building in HIV NGOs and CBOs

The International HIV/AIDS Alliance has produced an 80-page, 1.1Mb printable toolkit for NGOs on how to build capacity.

The description of the document is:
"In many countries, community-based and non-governmental organisations have mobilised to respond to HIV/AIDS. As responses are scaled up, organisations are finding that they need to develop their own capacity to deliver and support these programmes.

"This publication is designed to help organisations identify their capacity-building needs, plan technical support interventions, and monitor and evaluate the impact of capacity building. It provides tools for analysing and building capacity, using methods such as holding a planning and preparation meeting with management, facilitating workshops, gathering information and agreeing on conclusions."
