Capacity Technical Assistance

NNEDV’s Capacity Technical Assistance (CTA) team provides comprehensive, specialized consultation, assistance, and training to coalitions, Family Violence Prevention and Services Act (FVPSA) State/Territorial Administrators, and FVPSA formula grantees in order to best address the needs of victims of domestic violence.

State and U.S. territorial domestic violence coalitions provide critical leadership in coordinating efforts to end violence against women, addressing systemic barriers facing survivors and their children, and, strengthening domestic violence services. Coalitions have access to technical assistance regarding best practices at the national level.

Since our inception in 1990, NNEDV has prioritized enhancing the capacity of coalitions and the roles they play with local domestic violence programs and allied organizations.

NNEDV’s CTA team offers a variety of technical assistance opportunities, including:

  • Regional Meetings to reduce isolation and share strategies for addressing issues specific to coalitions and local programs in each NNEDV region;
  • Topical and National Meetings to identify and share best practices, issue specific training, and networking opportunities;
  • Peer networking that provides opportunities for coalitions to receive onsite technical assistance and resources from sister coalitions;
  • New Executive Directors Orientation Meetings for incoming directors of domestic violence, sexual assault, and dual domestic violence and sexual assault coalitions;
  • Onsite technical assistance on a wide range of topics to support and promote best practices in the field; and
  • Resources and publications, including an annual directory of U.S. coalition staff and programming.
