Planning
Implementation
Conduct joint grantee site visits to perform diagnostic assessments; establish a rapport with grantees’ leadership and other program staff; deepen understanding of each grantee’s community, culture, context, and program; develop capacity building plans and goals. Coaches vet and begin the matchmaking process between other contentexpert consultants and grantees.
Deliver a relational, culturally responsive, timely, and flexible approach to coaching and technical assistance at both the individual level and group level. Through a continual feedback loop, guide grantees in their assessments of their progress and help them make improvements/ pivots to goals in response to any emerging needs or shifts in priorities.
Evaluation and Reflection: Engage grantees in an end-ofyear formative evaluation process to self-reflect and evaluate their capacity building efforts in the following areas: progress, appropriateness of goals, coach/ consultant matching, growth and tangible products obtained, shifts in organizational culture, suggested improvements for Year 2.
