Capacity Building for Better Care

Hands-On Skills, Lasting Impact.

How we do it:

Capacity Building for Better Care focuses on turning policy into practice. Through immersive, on-site and virtual programmes, The Guilde equips clinicians, pharmacists, and community health volunteers with the real-world skills they need to deliver safe, inclusive, and client-centred services. Each session is tailored after a rapid needs assessment, then reinforced with mentoring and job aids so that new knowledge sticks and translates into measurable quality-of-care gains.

Training spans reproductive, maternal, and adolescent health; infection-prevention and control; value-clarification and attitude-transformation (VCAT); stock-management; and community outreach techniques, ensuring providers can serve diverse populations confidently and respectfully. By partnering with organisations such as DKT International and FEMNET, The Guilde keeps content relevant, evidence-based, and aligned with national guidelines—ultimately reducing clinical errors, strengthening patient trust, and building a workforce ready to meet Kenya’s evolving health needs.

Capacity Building Trainings we deliver:

Reproductive, maternal, and adolescent health

The Guilde’s Reproductive, Maternal & Adolescent Health (RMAH) capacity-building stream equips frontline teams with the competencies needed to deliver respectful, rights-based services across the continuum of care. After a rapid needs assessment, our facilitators design interactive modules that cover contraceptive counselling and method provision, antenatal screening, emergency obstetric and newborn care, and adolescent-friendly communication. Each session blends case studies with hands-on practice so clinicians, pharmacists, and community health volunteers can immediately apply new skills in their own facilities.

Learning doesn’t stop when the workshop ends. Follow-up mentoring, job aids, and value-clarification & attitude-transformation (VCAT) exercises reinforce respectful care principles, while stock-management and outreach techniques help teams keep commodities flowing and young clients engaged. Partnerships with organisations such as DKT International and FEMNET ensure curricula stay aligned with national guidelines and emerging best practice, building a workforce ready to reduce maternal mortality, broaden contraceptive choice, and improve adolescent health outcomes nationwide

Capacity Building Trainings we deliver:

Infection prevention and control

The Guilde’s Infection Prevention & Control (IPC) capacity-building programme turns global protocols into practical, facility-level routines. After a rapid gap analysis, our trainers lead interactive sessions on critical topics such as hand-hygiene technique, safe injection and sharps disposal, instrument sterilisation, environmental cleaning, and triage flow for airborne or highly infectious cases. Each module pairs demonstration with supervised practice, equipping clinicians, pharmacists, and community health volunteers to spot risks early and break transmission chains within busy Kenyan wards and outreach settings

Learning is reinforced through on-site audits, job aids, and access to an essential IPC commodity kit—gloves, masks, disinfectants, sharps containers, and other MoH-approved supplies—that The Guilde distributes through its last-mile network
. Follow-up mentoring helps teams track compliance indicators and troubleshoot challenges so that improved practice becomes the new norm. By embedding skills with the right consumables and continuous support, the programme reduces healthcare-associated infections, safeguards staff, and builds a culture of safety that patients can trust.

Capacity Building Trainings we deliver:

Value clarification and attitude transformation (VCAT)

The Guilde’s Value Clarification & Attitude Transformation (VCAT) programme helps health workers uncover and address personal beliefs that can unconsciously shape the quality of care. Through guided self-reflection, role-play, and community-informed dialogue, participants examine topics such as reproductive autonomy, adolescent rights, gender norms, and stigma. Facilitators link these discussions to Kenya’s national guidelines so that staff can align their values with evidence-based, client-centred practice.

After the workshops, on-site mentoring and peer-learning circles reinforce attitude shifts and translate them into concrete behaviours—respectful counselling, non-judgemental language, and bias-free service delivery. Close collaboration with partners like DKT International and FEMNET keeps the curriculum relevant and culturally sensitive, while routine quality-of-care audits track improvements in client satisfaction and uptake of services. The result is a workforce that not only offers the right interventions, but does so in a way that empowers every client to make informed, confident health decisions.

Capacity Building Trainings we deliver:

Health promotion & community outreach techniques

The Guilde’s Health Promotion & Community Outreach capacity-building track transforms providers and community health volunteers (CHVs) into persuasive public-health advocates. After a rapid audience and context assessment, our trainers deliver interactive modules on behaviour-change communication, participatory learning, and culturally sensitive messaging. Participants learn to design engaging barazas, radio spots, and social-media campaigns; craft visual aids that demystify topics such as contraception, nutrition, and hygiene; and use storytelling techniques that resonate with youth, mothers’ groups, and hard-to-reach populations.

Training is paired with field mentorship: facilitators accompany CHVs on household visits, monitor outreach events, and coach teams on data capture so that every session feeds back into stronger planning and measurable impact. By equipping frontline educators with the skills and tools to mobilise communities, The Guilde helps raise health literacy, boost service uptake, and create feedback loops that keep programmes responsive to local needs—all in line with Kenya’s national health-promotion framework.
