CONSULTANCY SUMMARY 

Period of performance: April- May 2013

Number of days: 15-20 days

Technical Team: RATN

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES OF FANIKISHA: 

In recent years, the size and number of local civil society organisations (CSOs) delivering community health services in Kenya has grown rapidly. Similarly, the willingness of the Government of Kenya and development agencies to partner with CSOs has increased exponentially. Yet, the capacity of the CSOs to effectively implement large-scale community interventions has remained low. Only a handful of Kenyan organisations are counted among the top 25 that are capable of absorbing sufficient funds to implement a large-scale health programme in Kenya. Consequently, the bulk of large-scale health interventions are implemented by international nongovernmental organisations.

The FANIKISHA Institutional Strengthening Project, a five-year cooperative agreement funded by USAID/Kenya, aims to build the capacity of Kenyan CSOs to sustainably deliver large-scale community health programmes through technical assistance, mentored grants and stakeholder engagement. FANIKISHA is implemented by Management Sciences for Health (MSH), Pact Inc., Danya International, and Regional AIDS Training Network (RATN).

FANIKISHA strengthens the institutional capacity of national level CSOs through mentored grants, technical assistance and stakeholder engagement. Some of the major activities the project has conducted thus far include two cycles of CSO selection and organisational capacity assessments (OCA), two cycles of Institutional Strengthening Marketplace vendor selection, one face-to-face Institutional Strengthening Marketplace, development and launch Kenya CSO Portal for Health, and provision of technical assistance to its partner-CSOs in ten capacity areas using mixed approaches.
