It is increasingly clear that capacity building for those civil society organisations (CSOs) working in contexts of high HIV/AIDS prevalence presents specific challenges and costs. However, there have been few documented experiences which explore these challenges and costs and suggest ways to address them appropriately.
This Praxis Note is an attempt to fill that gap. It will initially provide an overview of the impacts of HIV/AIDS on the Malawi health care system and on the organisational capacity of Mulanje Mission Hospital (MMH). It will then describe the experiences and lessons learnt from the first four years of capacity building at MMH, a CSO in rural Malawi owned by the Church of Central Africa Presbyteria Blantyre Synod.
