Capacity Building Assistance
We strengthen the HIV prevention workforce in the West region of the United States to end the HIV epidemic.
CAPTC provides technical assistance (TA) by assessing and responding to the strengths and needs of local, state, and national health agencies. We create tailored plans to build agencies’ capacity to best serve their communities.
Our Capacity Building Assistance (CBA) Program
Funded by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), CAPTC’s CBA program provides capacity building to health organizations across the country. Our free (not for fee) CBA services and resources are available for CDC-funded health departments, community-based organizations (CBOs), and their local partners seeking to optimally plan, integrate, implement, and sustain comprehensive HIV prevention programs and services. We provide a wide range of services tailored to staff and/or organizations’ specific needs:
- Condom distribution
- Data to care strategies (including pharmacy data to HIV care)
- HIV/HCV transmission clusters and outbreak response
- Integrated HIV prevention and care planning
- Strategic communications around HIV prevention, treatment, and care
- Partner services
- Social determinants of health
- Whole-person navigation/Person-centered approach
- Syringe services programs
Technical assistance is structured around the four pillars of Ending the HIV Epidemic (EHE): diagnose, treat, protect, and respond. The EHE initiative provides the hardest hit communities with the additional expertise, technology, and resources required to end the HIV epidemic.
