Capacity building is the cornerstone to creating self-sustaining programs. Effective capacity building results in a local infrastructure that delivers the targeted health care service in accordance with internationally accepted standards as formulated by the Word Health Organization (WHO). As in all Foundation programs, the ultimate aim is sustainability. All programs are designed to be fully financially sustained by local ministries of health in 3-5 years of the program’s inception.
