CADCA’s Coalition Competencies
What does it take to build and sustain an effective coalition? The answer lies in CADCA’s Coalition Competencies, a research-backed framework designed to strengthen your work. Developed in partnership with the Center for Public Health Systems Science at Washington University in St. Louis, these competencies are the result of more than three years of research and input from coalition leaders. They outline the essential knowledge, skills, and abilities needed for effective coalition work.
Coalition Competencies are organized into three domains:
- Operations: Building and sustaining coalition infrastructure.
- Comunidad: Effectively engaging and partnering with community members.
- Prevention: Implementing specialized strategies for lasting impact.
There are 18 essential, research-backed areas that fit into each of these domains and are designed to advance the work of coalition leaders, funders, and other partners. Learn more about the competencies through the following resources.
Competencies in Focus Webinar Series
Every coalition is navigating change; new leadership, shifting community needs, and evolving strategic priorities. However, most of us experience it as something happening to us instead of something we’re intentionally leading. Join us on May 11 for a deep dive into the Change Management competency. Attendees will explore a framework for understanding the two entry points into change (reactive and intentional) and how coalitions can move through both with agency and purpose. You’ll leave with tools to recognize when change is emerging and concrete steps to take.
