NGO capacity building · Nairobi

Capacity building that makes you donor-ready in 90 days.

CASA Consulting sells transformation. You have a system that leaks, a team not yet delivering to standard, or an organisation that is not yet donor-ready; we embed, co-build, and stay until it holds. Every engagement runs through Diagnose, Design, Deliver, and Sustain.

For NGOs, CBOs, donors, and INGOs

What we offer

Consulting services, from capacity assessment to donor compliance.

CBO Readiness Accelerator

Donor-ready in 90 days.

The problem it solves

A grassroots organisation cannot win or manage serious funding because its systems, policies, and governance are not yet where donors need them.

What you get

The full embedded accelerator across Diagnose, Design, Deliver, and Sustain: a baseline assessment across the seven capacity domains, co-built policies and systems, and an endline assessment with a CASA certification decision (Bronze, Silver, or Gold).

Who it is for

Local NGOs and CBOs seeking donor readiness; donors and INGOs funding partner capacity.

Rapid Organizational Assessment

Know where you stand in two weeks.

The problem it solves

An organisation or a funder needs a clear, credible picture of institutional strengths and gaps, fast, before a decision or an investment.

What you get

A focused two-week organizational capacity assessment across the seven domains, with baseline scores, a prioritised gap analysis, and a roadmap the client can act on or commission.

Who it is for

Donors screening partners; INGOs assessing sub-grantees; organisations wanting an honest baseline.

30-Day MEL System Setup

A working measurement system in a month.

The problem it solves

An organisation collects data but cannot turn it into the results reporting donors demand, or has no system at all.

What you get

A month-long embedded build of a monitoring, evaluation, and learning system: a results framework and indicators, data collection tools, a workable data flow, and staff trained to run it after you leave.

Who it is for

NGOs and CBOs facing donor reporting demands; programmes standing up a new grant.

Board Governance Audit

A board that functions, and can prove it.

The problem it solves

Weak governance blocks funding and exposes the organisation to risk, but leadership cannot see clearly what is missing.

What you get

A structured governance review of board composition, function, and decision-making against donor and good-practice standards, a prioritised action plan, fixed or drafted core governance documents, and a board orientation session.

Who it is for

NGO and CBO boards; organisations preparing for due diligence; donors requiring governance strengthening.

Donor Compliance & Grants Management Training

Stop losing grants to compliance failures.

The problem it solves

Local organisations win funding then struggle with the compliance, financial management, and reporting that keep it, risking the relationship and the next grant.

What you get

Structured donor compliance and grants management training with embedded support, built around real donor requirements, with practical templates and optional follow-up through a live reporting cycle.

Who it is for

Local NGOs and CBOs managing donor grants; INGOs strengthening sub-grantee compliance; county-level organisations.

MEAL Advisory Retainer

An evaluation expert on call.

The problem it solves

An organisation needs ongoing measurement, accountability, and learning support but cannot justify a full-time senior MEAL hire.

What you get

A monthly retainer giving structured access to CASA’s evaluation expertise: a set block of advisory time, report and data-quality review before donor submissions, and steady capability building in your own team.

Who it is for

Mid-sized NGOs; programmes without senior in-house MEAL; organisations managing multiple grants.

GBV & Protection Programming Advisory

Specialist depth where it matters most.

The problem it solves

Organisations working in GBV and protection need design, SOP, and referral-pathway expertise that generalist consultants cannot credibly provide.

What you get

Specialist GBV programme design and protection advisory drawing on CASA’s humanitarian experience: SOP design grounded in field reality, referral-pathway mapping, safeguarding system design, and review of existing programming.

Who it is for

INGOs and NGOs running GBV or protection programmes; UN implementing partners; humanitarian responders.

Embedded Accelerator Programme (Cohort)

Strengthen a whole portfolio of partners at once.

The problem it solves

A donor or INGO wants to lift the capacity of many grantees together, consistently, with measurable results across the cohort.

What you get

The full CASA accelerator delivered to a cohort under one contract, on the Diagnose-to-Sustain model, with shared training, embedded per-organisation support, baseline and endline scoring, certification, and portfolio-level reporting a donor can take to its board.

Who it is for

Donors and foundations funding partner-capacity programmes; INGOs strengthening sub-grantee networks.

CASA Certification as a Standard

A capacity mark donors can trust.

The problem it solves

Donors lack a consistent, credible signal of which local organisations are genuinely ready to manage funding.

What you get

CASA’s Bronze, Silver, and Gold certification offered as a recognised capacity standard, backed by the seven-domain assessment and the embedded strengthening that earns it: a transparent, rubric-based credential organisations can show funders.

Who it is for

Donor ecosystems seeking a shared standard; networks certifying members; organisations wanting a recognised mark.
