What We Offer
KANAVA® experts collaborate with institutions in developing countries and elsewhere to implement the firm’s proprietary Impact Strengthening Development (ISD®) tool, a practical resource to improve organizations’ management systems -- helping them become more sustainable while making them more effective stewards of donor funds and stronger partners.
Tools
KANAVA's Impact Strengthening Development (ISD®) services have helped measure and improve the management capacity of international development professionals and organizations, from West Africa to Cambodia, Afghanistan, and the United States. Using a systematic online approach, KANAVA® experts guide organizations through the nine building blocks of effective management, helping them identify gaps and devise a strategy for addressing them.
ISD® empowers organizations to see the big picture, understanding how each business process -- from human resources to financial management -- fits with the others. Once the pieces of the puzzle are viewed together and the challenges an organization faces become clear, KANAVA® can work in partnership with management to help address these challenges through customized, customer-driven technical assistance.
