Capacity Building White Paper
Category: OTAC News
Sponsored by the Seniors and People with Disabilities Division, Office of Developmental Disabilities Services, the Capacity Building Project was designed to gather input from stakeholders to develop a set of recommendations that could be implemented in the 2007-2009 biennium to support capacity-building in service provider organizations. The Building Oregon’s Capacity to Serve Individuals with Complex Support Needs: Recommendations for Action Whitepaper includes summaries of the participants’ vision for the next few years, which can guide discussions across time, as well as practical steps that can be taken to enable 24-hour comprehensive system service providers to be able to say “Yes” to serving individuals with complex support needs in the very near future. The paper addresses issues such as:
- What are the most important capacity-building strategies for developmental disabilities services?
- How can we use training and technical assistance resources in different ways to ensure a greater level of success for the service system and those whom it serves?
- What policies would support success?
- What partnerships do we need to develop?
