community health projects in the target districts. The sample size is determined by krchejie and Morgan table 1970 which is 335 and
simple random sampling technique used in the study. Data collection tool was a quantitative questionnaire and an interview guide was
used for key informants for information triangulation. Pilot testing, validity, and reliability was tested conducted to test the
instruments.10% of the sample size was used to test the instrument for its validity in the neighboring district of Afgoye Validity was
ensured by use of construct validity, while reliability used Cronbach Alpha coefficient subject to threshold of 0.7 alpha coefficient.
Cronbach’s method gave a reliable alpha value of 0.79. Influence of independent variable on dependent variable was computed using
linear regression analysis. Research model was tested using F test at 95% confidence level. A unit increase in capacity building would
lead to 90% influence in performance of Community health workers projects. ANOVA analysis results of F= 35.828 and p=0.000<0.05
implied that capacity buildingon performance of Community health workers projects was significant. Regression coefficients, t=13.173
meant capacity building on performance of Community health workers projects in Banadir region, Somalia was significant. Beta
coefficient analysis showed that performance of Community health workers projects in Banadir region, Somalia would remain constant
at 2.357 if capacity building was not factored. Pearson correlation was applied in regression and comparing of variables. Results were
