Methodology for assessment and development of organization capacity.
Through capacity-building initiatives with obstetrics and gynaecology organizations in Guatemala, Haiti, and Uganda, the Society of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists of Canada has developed the organization capacity improvement framework (OCIF), a model for strengthening associations' essential organizational capacities. The OCIF focuses on capacity development within the organization over time, rather than on individual training and short-term outcomes. A cycle of assessing, planning, implementing, and measuring improvement builds rigour into the process while encouraging participation, understanding, and commitment to sustainable capacity development.
