ActionAid International-Kenya partners with KECOFATUMA.
The vast majority of registered CSOs are based in rural areas or urban slums, which are less developed and bear the burden of poverty. Few people are able to access needs like education and health. Many of the workers and conveners of CSOs, with wholly noble intentions and the strongest links to the community are themselves, victims of poverty and as such, are often lacking the ability and capacity to mobilize and utilize resources efficiently. Action-aid International-Kenya supported KECOFATUMA to implement "capacity building of grassroots Civil Society Organizations for resource mobilization, increase information flows and training materials."
The toolkit, which also comes with its CD, covers the following sections:A culmination of these community-based activities saw the launch of "The Capacity Building Toolkit for Civil Society Organizations", held in three regional launches countrywide. The launch was organized by KECOFATUMA Secretariat in coordination with the Regional Community Owned Resource Persons (CORPS), again with support from Action-aid Kenya. The goal of the launches was to give an over view of the toolkit and its sections and also to disseminate the toolkit to the members, whilst generating interest in key issues within the civil society that require attention; these being Monitoring & Evaluation; Good governance; Effective fund-raising, Networking & development of collaborative partnerships.
