What are potential outcomes of employing the CBAT-O?

The potential outcomes of employing the Capacity Building Assessment Tool for Organizations (CBAT-O) primarily focus on the enhancement of organizational performance and community impact. This tool is designed to assess and identify areas where an organization can strengthen its capacity, which ultimately translates into a more effective operation and greater service delivery to the community.

By using the CBAT-O, organizations can pinpoint specific weaknesses or areas for growth, leading to improved processes, better resource management, and more effective programs. As organizational capacity increases, the ability to create positive change within the community is amplified, resulting in enhanced community impact. The assessment also encourages organizations to implement best practices and strategic initiatives, which can further boost performance.

While other options may seem plausible, they do not directly align with the core objectives of the CBAT-O. The focus of the tool is on capacity and performance improvement rather than merely reducing costs, expanding office space, or increasing staff numbers. These other outcomes could be byproducts of improved performance but are not guaranteed or central to the purpose of the CBAT-O.
