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.
