Community Systems Strengthening

Beyond Zero’s Community Systems Strengthening  programme aims to strengthen the institutional capacity of Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) over a nine (9) months period. The programme is designed to enhance the capacity of CSOs in Organizational Development and HIV technical programming. At the end of the programme, CSOs are expected to have strong internal management and operational systems as well as provide appropriate HIV programmes that are aligned to the National Strategic Plan (NSP) on HIV, TB and STI.

We offer capacity building that is aimed at supporting efficiency, compassion and  public health transformation to enable effective implementation aligned with the NSP for funded CSOs. 

We conduct Organizational Capacity Assessments (OCAs) and each CSO is assessed using the Capacity Assessment Tool (CAT) in order to identify capacity gaps. Subsequently, a capacity building plan is developed for each CSO. Using Organisational Development (OD) and HIV Technical skills trainings, CSOs are trained to address the capacity gaps identified.

Over and above the training, we also provides coaching and mentoring support to all individuals who would have received training. The coaching and mentoring is done at individual, cluster, group and organizational level.
