ORGANIZATIONAL CAPACITY
                    BEFORE FANIKISHA
 • Rapid expansion
 • Weak financials and HR systems
 • Competing donor demands
 • Lack of internal capacity to address
   organizational challenges
 • The Journey with FANIKISHA begins!

FANIKISHA Institutional Strengthening Project         5
INSTITUTIONAL
       STRENGTHENING OUTCOMES
  Governance manual developed and implemented e.g
   all organizational manuals, policies and budget
   approved by Board
  Performance based management instituted e.g the
   CEO developed his annual performance targets
  Use of Balance Score Card for performance
   management
  Board attendance increased
  Board reviewing financial reports
  CEO performance being evaluated by the Board
   against set targets
FANIKISHA Institutional Strengthening Project        6
INSTITUTIONAL STRENGTHENING
 IN COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT
 • Clear performance targets has lead to deliberate and
   targeted community engagement, increasing reach
 • Specific strategic communication materials have
   been developed for the community
 • ICL has been planning with the community, not for
   the community (BRIEFLY SAY HOW)




FANIKISHA Institutional Strengthening Project             7
INSTITUTIONAL STRENGTHENING
 IN COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT
 • The focus on service delivery at the end of the day is
   addressing the needs of the clients e.g. strengthened
   procurement system has led to more efficient
   delivery of commodities to the community
 • Credibility with the donors has led to increased
   resources e.g obtained 2 million shillings from
   broadcasting success stories
