Reflection

What we achieved
Having an appropriate tool to assess the capacity of CSO
Knew the area of strengths and gaps for each CSO
The CSOs have clear direction of their organization for future improvement
CSOs have a concreted action plan for capacity building
CSOs probably use our approach to apply with their clients and stakeholders
![Page 22: PPCA of Go-FOGO](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022052514/589c2dd31a28ab65248b66b7/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
PPCA result of GCA

PPCA result of SODA
![Page 24: PPCA of Go-FOGO](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022052514/589c2dd31a28ab65248b66b7/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Benefits of use
Support formulation of short, medium, and long-terms goals and objectives.
Increase focus on CSO’s capacity building.
Identify areas for inter-agency cooperation and coordination.
Help to attract new sources of funding.
![Page 25: PPCA of Go-FOGO](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022052514/589c2dd31a28ab65248b66b7/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Challenges/difficulties
Participatory approach is time consuming
Language speaking is one barrier of assessment
Standard setting up should be careful and representing whole organization type
Zero score does not mean weak, that is an opportunity to improve, less attention of CSOs
Accurate information is very crucial, useless capacity building plan, if data given is not SMART
![Page 26: PPCA of Go-FOGO](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022052514/589c2dd31a28ab65248b66b7/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
What did we learn
Ahead informing the partners is good advantage
The PPCA is good initiative and helpful
The PPCA tool could customize the standard according to organization type
It’s important and helpful to involve board, senior staff, and sector experts
Learning opportunity from partners
Better confidence to support self assessment
The PPCA itself as an opportunity for capacity building
![Page 27: PPCA of Go-FOGO](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022052514/589c2dd31a28ab65248b66b7/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Next steps
The Go-FOGO extensively pursues to work in close collaboration with program quality team in four key elements of missions:
Support implementation of the PPCA action plan Work on gender profile Go-FOGO baseline survey Set up M&E system
