Building Community Capacity In HIV/AIDS Response, The Case Of Maanisha Project

Abstract

This case study documents the experiences drawn from AMREF’s Maanisha programme in Kenya which works with various stakeholders for a co-ordinated and participatory HIV/AIDS response. The programme applies a twin approach of provision of capacity building and grant making. The study highlights the lessons learnt in contributing to a co-ordinated, harmonised, participatory and vibrant response to HIV/AIDS in Kenya. It draws a number of recommendations for future policy and practices based on the programme’s experience.
