and Capacity Building
Thematic Area
FANRPAN Partners’ Meeting
13 June 2011, Pretoria, South Africa
www.fanrpan.org
Background
FANRPAN mandate - to lead, coordinate and facilitate
policy research, analysis and advocacy and strengthen
policy capacity.
Delivery is challenged by several factors, including:
• Lack of human and infrastructural capacity in the
Regional Secretariat and node hosting institutions;
• Lack of benchmarks and M&E frameworks to track
capacity of node hosting institutions;
• Poor capacity for country-level resource mobilization,
agenda setting and policy advocacy; and
• Limited effectiveness of nodal institutions and
stakeholder participation in policy processes.
