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.
- Comunidade: 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.
Register Now! The next installment of our Competencies in Focus webinar series takes place on December 12 no 12 PM ET. During this webinar, we’ll explore what effective leadership looks like, how participatory leadership by community members can increase coalition effectiveness, and practical ways to build and communicate a shared vision for your community’s future. Participants will also hear a real-world example from a Missouri-based coalition leader who knows what it’s like to lead coalitions of different sizes through changes in capacity and funding.
