Capacity Building
USAID is one of the few donors
working to improve the capabilities of people, institutions,
and governments in order to enhance local expertise
and pave the way for countries to achieve their development
objectives in family planning and reproductive health.
Capacity building allows national programs – government,
public, private, nongovernmental organizations (NGOs),
and community-based institutions – to design, implement,
finance, and evaluate sustainable family planning programs.
When successful, these local entities have become the
premier family planning delivery organization in the
country, with some now providing technical assistance
and training to their countries' Ministries of Health, other
in-country private organizations, and organizations
in other countries.

This Guide was produced for the Implementing Best Practices (IBP) Consortium by the
USAID-funded Leadership, Management, and Sustainability (LMS) Project of Management Sciences for Health
(MSH). The guide presents a pathway that links proven change practices with evidenced-based clinical and programmatic practices to cross barriers of change resistance. It helps teams to foster change and work together to break down barriers and focus actions to obtain a common goal.
