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 important work with limited resources. Your coalition likely manages competing priorities, constrained budgets, and the constant challenge of doing more avec less. The difference between coalitions that thrive and those that struggle to sustain their effort often comes down to how well they manage the resources they have. Our next webinar focuses on Resource Management. Join us on September 30 at 2 PM ET to learn how to maximize your coalition’s capacity and build long-term sustainability.
