Capacity Building
Since its inception in 2012, Dabena Alliances has been working towards sustainable capacity building. Dabena has built the capacity of coalitions, organizations, communities, government agencies, and the public health workforce to improve the health of communities impact areas and target populations. With our support, clients increase capacity not only to lead initiatives, but to engage in collaborative efforts with non-traditional partners. Capacity building with Dabena means building connections and competencies among youth, regional planners, business leaders, educators, faith-based communities, public safety workers, and community development agencies. “None of us, including me, ever do great things. But we can all do small things, with great love, and together we can do something wonderful.” – Mother TeresaAs thought leaders and practitioners, we aim to build skills and knowledge, while helping clients leverage their own expertise to build for more effective programs and organizations.
