The primary purpose of this assessment is to identify areas where local partner organizations like XSF and FACE can strengthen their capacities to have a more substantial impact on the well-being and development of children, families, and communities.
TFI, in their role as organizational capacity assessors, evaluated the two organizations across six capacity areas. These areas covered Governance and Leadership, Organizational Culture and Management, Program Development and Management, Partnerships, Networks, and Reputation, Financial Management, Administrative Management and Human Resources. The assessment aimed to provide a holistic view of XSF and FACE’s organizational strengths and areas for improvement, ultimately contributing to its long-term growth and effectiveness.
