Project management skills including the use of logical framework in implementation and reporting will be a legacy for the CSOs to apply in future progrmame implementation. Organizational capacity building will enhance efficiency through improved structures and procedures that make the CSOs to run sustainably. The links with media and associated communication will enthuse other partners to work with the CSOs for continued funding to upscale operations. Nature Kenya will continue to work with CSOs especially in Important Bird Areas (IBAs) providing continued mentorship and technical support and some financial support when donor programmes are funded. Nature Kenya will also when appropriate link the grantees with other partners including WWF and CFCU.

This project targets the Boards of Management or senior management staff in the governance and management of CSOs receiving SGP grants. Community participation is therefore in the context of board members or staff members getting involved in the project. The project will convene three major types of capacity building workshops: project management, logical framework and governance. Participants will be ToTs who will be required to share the skills and knowledge with the rest of staff or board members. Review meetings will be done by the boards or management staff involved in the project. All staff and board members will be involved in the drafting, review and agreement on the finance and administration operational manual, organizational capacity assessment, filling of impact tracking score card and feed backing of findings. Capacity building will include partnerships and resource mobilization including at community level to enhance community involvement and ownership for successful delivery of targets and sustainability of impacts from the SGP funded project.

Training of Trainers (ToTs) approach will be employed for those trained to pass on the knowledge to other CSO members. Lessons, experiences and impacts documentation would be a tool to disseminate and share results. Manuals produced and shared will continue to provide reference points for continued learning.
