Purpose

Program Strategies
The program strategies include strengthening and maintaining the infrastructure and resources necessary to sustain or improve system, organizational, community, or individual processes and competencies.
Partners will deliver capacity-building assistance (CBA) through technical assistance, training, information sharing, technology transfer, or materials development that enables organizations to operate in a comprehensive, responsive, and effective manner. Partners will implement CBA activities in one or more of the prioritized strategic areas and address the CBA needs for the selected population of focus.
