Abstract
This study specific objective was to examine the effects of capacity building initiatives on performance of health workers in Rubanda District. This study was guided by Social Cognitive Theory (SCT). The study followed a descriptive design. Data from 120 respondents was collected and analyzed quantitatively complemented with qualitative analysis. Self-administered questionnaires were applied.. Since descriptive analysis entailed description of a single variable and its attributes, frequency tables were used to present the data. At the bivariate level, a Pearson correlation matrix was conducted to ascertain the relationships between the predictor variables and the dependent variable. A linear regression model was used to fit the data. Respondents strongly agreed that capacity building initiatives improve health workers' performance. Regression analysis showed a strong, significant positive correlation (r = 0.762, p < 0.05) between capacity building initiatives and health worker performance, explaining 82.5% of performance variance (R2 = 0.825). The regression coefficient was 0.921 (p < 0.001), indicating that increased capacity building significantly improves performance. The main conclusion drawn from this research is that capacity building initiatives affects performance significantly and positively. The study recommends that Rubanda district should continue to invest in structured and relevant capacity building initiatives
