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.
- Communauté: 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
Coalitions do their best work when their membership reflects the community they serve. Membership is a core competency: recruiting and retaining a broad mix of organizations from key sectors that bring a variety of skills and perspectives. Research links coalition success to active participation from a broad range of partners, and recruitment improves when coalitions offer different ways to contribute. Join us on November 3 at 2 PM ET to hear a real-world example of how a coalition engages 50 members and connects with community members, sectors, and partners.
