Institutional Analysis and Strengthening

Institutional Analysis and Strengthening

Organiz­a­tional weaknesses are bottlenecks in achieving goals. Insti­tu­tional streng­t­hening addresses the internal relations and the insti­tu­tional framework of an organiz­ation. Following a thorough analysis of the status quo, core functions are optimized.
Insti­tu­tional streng­t­hening is a dynamic process where flexi­bility, learning and adjusting to changing circum­s­tances are absolutely necessary. This implies a conti­nuous iterative develo­pment process.

Role of ILF

ILF’s well-proven approach focuses on creating an environment that enables the organiz­a­tions and their staff to strive and excel. This is achieved by streng­t­hening the organiz­a­tional capacity, advising on guide­lines and legal frame­works, building links between stake­holders, and clari­fying roles and responsibilities.
