The documented experience with the identified approaches, methodologies, and tools indicates that none is sufficient by itself to achieve a desirable improvement in quality of care. The choice of methodologies and tools depends on the healthcare system and its available resources. There is a lack of studies that describe the process of quality improvement and a need for research to provide evidence of the effectiveness of the identified methods and tools.

“…Organizations that include a focus on building internal capacity or the capacity of others face challenges in obtaining and maintaining the financial and political resources needed to initiate and sustain their capacity-building work. Projects have shown some success in increasing organizational capacity of NGOs and CBOs in low-and middle-income countries (Li et al, 2001;Paiva et al, 2002;Sivaram and Celentano, 2003). Success has required focused and sustained efforts, such as a nine-month research methods course for NGOs and public health practitioners in Brazil followed by a 21-month mentoring process for the best interventions in the course (Paiva et al, 2002).…”

Despite an increase in organizational capacity building efforts by external organizations in low and middle income countries, the documentation of these efforts and their effects on health programs and systems remains limited. This paper reviews key frameworks for considering sustainability of capacity building and applies these frameworks to an evaluation of the sustainability of an AIDS non-governmental organization (NGO) capacity building initiative. From 2004-2007 Bristol-Myers Squibb Foundation's Secure the Future(TM) initiative in southern Africa funded a five country program, the NGO Training Institute (NGOTI), to build capacity of NGOs working to address HIV/AIDS. Lessons learned from this project include issues of ownership, the importance of integrating planning for sustainability within capacity-building projects, and the value of identifying primary capacity-building objectives in order to select sustainability strategies that are focused on maintaining program benefits. Sustainability for capacity building projects can be developed by discussing key issues early in the planning process with all primary stakeholders.

“…Far fewer studies on reproductive health in China and Yunnan have been published internationally. Our systematic electronic literature search in English databases identified four articles that addressed institutional barriers in accessing reproductive health services [15][16][17][18], and four papers related gender to reproductive health outcomes [11,12,19,20] [21][22][23].…”
