Nancy Young, director of quality services at Mercy, said every patient who comes into the intensive care unit of the hospital is swabbed for infection. "We have a lot of patients coming through the hospital, and we need to identify anyone with an infection right away," she explained.

"Worldwide we have been committed to capacity building and leaving behind institutions that will work to create a better society after the withdrawal of international NGOs," says Anna Young, Mercy Corps' NGO Capacity Building Specialist, who was recently on special assignment in Kandahar to launch a large-scale capacity building initiative.

"Our goal in Afghanistan is to put the responsibility into the hands of the local community.Unlike other international aid organizations, we are taking a grass-roots up approach," says Young."We are really listening to the voices of the local organizations and asking questions such as: What would you like to do?What are the problems you want to solve?"

Mercy Corps is focusing on training and one-on-one consultations with local organizations.Training workshops are designed to teach local organizations best practices in administration and operations and provide tools, case studies and methodologies.In addition these workshops encourage discussion, idea generation and coordination between local organizations as well as with governmental agencies.

The challenges of capacity building in Afghanistan are immense.The communication infrastructure in Afghanistan presents a catch-22: it is inadequate to support groups working in remote areas (that are typically in the greatest need); yet organizations must work close to the communities they serve to be effective.Another daunting aspect is identifying a sufficient number of women's groups to partner with in this post-Taliban period.

In any society you hope for the presence of a range of NGOs to fill the gaps the government cannot provide for," says Young.
