Let us know how we can assist your organization. We provide Capacity Building Assistance (CBA) to Community Based Organizations (CBOs), and you can always reach out to us directly.
What is Capacity Building?
We are here to strengthen the abilities of your organization that will help facilitate achievable, measurable and sustainable results for your project. Often times this is thought of as 'technical assistance'. Call us when it would be helpful to gain an additional perspective on the development and/or implementation of the Mpowerment Project. We can assist you in overcoming the obstacles that can inhibit your project from realizing its development goals.

Think of us as people who can help clarify an issue, or someone to bounce ideas off of, or someone to work with to think about adapting the MP for your population. RELATED: 7 issues that will facilitate or impede MP implementation
You could meet with us by Skype or conference call for a one hour one-on-one or team meeting session. Our technical assistance could be a series of three or four weekly sessions where we discuss Core Elements of your MP in more depth. You might sign up for a 3 day Mpowerment training. Together, we might decide a visit to your agency is best. Either way, all of our services are free and accessible.
We offer HIV technical assistance for Community Based Organizations and Health Departments. Contact us.

For in-depth or on-going assistance the best way to request assistance is through the CDC’s CBA Request Information System (CRIS). Be sure to include our name (University of California San Francisco CAPS) in your CRIS request.
Doing so will allow you to access technical assistance by our Mpowemrent Project (MP) specialists at the Center for AIDS Prevention Studies (CAPS) at UCSF, including phone, skype and web-based assistance.
CDC directly funded agencies can access the CRIS request system here: Capacity Building Request login | CDC funded sites | CRIS system.
If you are funded through your state or local Health Department (HD) you may access the CRIS system here: Capacity Building CDC request system | non CDC funded sites
Note: Your local/regional CBA coordinator will open the request for your agency.

Those CBOs who have experienced the most success with the Mpowerment Project facilitated an empowering, community-building process among the young men in their community. They gave real decision-making authority to young men and found dedicated, skilled, and charismatic community members to work as paid staff, that is, as Project Coordinators.
