Many programmes worked with committees and stakeholder groups that helped facilitate the participation process. Process evaluation for community participation. The interviews were performed by two interviewers in Kiswahili to reduce language barriers. However, largely, such plans are prepared at the council level by Council Health Management Team (CHMT). The key informants from HFGC pointed out that the higher-level authority does not disseminate important information for developing and implementing facility plans and CCHP to health centers and dispensary committees. For that reason they lack management skills and knowledge to perform their duties in development and implementation of CCHP as narrated by one of the respondents: CHMT respondents also confirmed the findings that members of the HFGC were not trained or oriented in their duties and responsibilities particularly including those related to management of health facilities and their involvement in health planning: Members of the CHMT reiterated that lack of funds for conducting capacity building programs including training on management and planning has largely contributed to lack of management capacity, especially planning skills, among HFGC members.

Furthermore, lack of funds for conducting training programs, lack of uniformity in the procedure of appointing members of HFGC, and negative attitude of CHMT toward strengthening the HFGC to perform their duties have also contributed to lack of management capacity especially planning skills among HFGC members. In six programmes, community members participated at different levels at different points during the intervention [17, 18, 22, 23, 25, 26, 28].

In this study, we have found that most of the members of HFGC had primary education level, which seems to be insufficient to make them competent in performing their roles without exposing them to appropriate capacity building programs through training. For that reason, they lack financial and management skills to perform their duties in the development and implementation of CCHP as narrated by one of the respondents: We were elected to form HFGC in 2010. 2013;8(2):e55012.
