Collaboration and Partnerships

Collaborative Partnerships

A mutually
beneficial and welldefined relationship
among two or more
organizations to
JOINTLY develop
structure and share
•
•
•
•
•
Responsibility
Resources
Authority
Accountability
Rewards
Why have a Collaboration?
To accomplish a common goal that
none of the units alone can attain
 To help agencies share information,
resources, staff and equipment
 To create an awareness of needs,
problems, or opportunities

9
Characteristics of Successful
Collaboration
Develops clear, concrete, achievable
goals.
 Operate in a receptive environment
that facilitates its work.
 Have good leadership.
 Understand and respect each
member for their different role and
responsibility.
 Build cooperative teams.

10
Typical challenges
Differences among collaborators must
be understood and acknowledged.
 Mixed loyalty that some members may
have to their organization.
 Merging of agencies can cause
conflict.
* Lack of clarity
* Lack of awareness

11
Difficult Issues that
Undermine Collaborations

Territorial
questions

Conflicting
priorities

Strategies to Overcome
Resistance in Collaboration
Joining with the host school
 Relay the message that you are there
to support rather than supplant.
 Engage in ongoing negotiations with
key players.
 Developing common goals and group
consensus.
 Setting Boundaries.

Nut and Bolt #2
Conduct the Needs Assessment
16
What is a Community Needs
Assessment?
An accurate appraisal of the current
situation (strengths, concerns, and general
conditions) of a community’s population.
A collection of secondary and first hand
information and data from a wide range of
relevant sources and audiences.
17
What is a Community Needs
Assessment?
A process for:
identifying needs and resources in a
community
determining gaps between what a
situation is and what it should be
establishing priorities
An opportunity to paint a picture of the
conditions in a community and sharpen your
perceptions of the critical issues children
and families face.
18
Why Identify Needs and
Resources?

Better understand the community in which
you will be working

Become aware of needs and concerns you
never knew about

Locate hidden strengths or underutilized
resources that could be developed

Document need

Make sure future actions are aligned with
expressed community needs
19
Why Identify Needs and
Resources?

Garner greater support and involve more
people in subsequent action

Give voice to individuals in the community
who have not traditionally been solicited for
comment

Convince outside funders and supporters

Make decisions based on priorities and
documented needs
20
Planning and Implementing the
Assessment

Step 1: Involve stakeholders

Establish working group to guide the
planning and implementation of
Community Needs Assessments
21
Planning and Implementing the
Assessment
Step 2: Determine the Objectives and
Outcomes of the Assessment

What are you really interested in knowing? Your
questions will flow from this.

What is your vision? How will you use the
information obtained?

Which issues, questions, and behaviors are of
particular interest?

What don’t you know about these issues? What
questions do you need to answer?
22
Planning and Implementing the
Assessment
Step 3: Identify secondary data sources

Find out what outside resources can be used

What public reports exist (examples of
sources: census data, vital statistics, CPS
reports)
–

Have other studies been done?
Are there experts in the community who can
help you?
23
Planning and Implementing the
Assessment (cont)
Step 4: Choose your approach/
approaches for gathering new
information
Most common approaches:
 Key
informant interviews
 Focus
groups
 Public
forums
 Surveys
24
Planning and Implementing the
Assessment

When making your choice of approach,
take into account:

Purpose of the study
 Amount
of time you have and number of people
assisting you
 Available resources
 Size and characteristics of target population
 Relationship you have with target population
“The
quality of information about a community is only as good as the technique or combination of techniques
used. A single technique may be too narrow; using too many techniques may be costly in terms of time and
dollars. Different techniques are appropriate for different needs. Analyze the situation and then weigh the
advantages and disadvantages. Sometimes a combination of techniques will provide a more reasonable
picture.” (Butler and Howe, 1980)
25
Planning and Implementing the
Assessment
Key Informant Interviews
 Purpose
= to collect information from those
in the community who are in a prime
position to know the needs facing the
community
 How
to implement = compile a list of
participants, create protocol, make
appointments (either telephone or inperson), gather data, identify common
themes
26
Planning and Implementing the
Assessment
Key Informant Interviews
 Advantages




Easy and not expensive
Can discuss confidential issues more readily
Establishes rapport and trust with community
Permits clarification of issues and ideas
 Disadvantages





May be difficult to schedule
May provide a biased perspective
Only represents perceptions – not hard data
Personal relationships may influence outcomes
Should be combined with other methods because may not
represent whole community
27
Planning and Implementing the
Assessment
Focus Groups
 Purpose
= to collect information from those in the
community who are in a prime position to know the
needs facing the community
 How
to implement = compile a list of participants,
decide on location, create protocol, invite participants
(think about food and baby sitting if necessary), use
facilitator and documenter, organize and identify
common themes
28
Planning and Implementing the
Assessment
Focus Groups
 Advantages




Easy and not expensive
Establishes rapport and trust with community
members
Permits clarification of issues and ideas
Easily combined with other techniques
 Disadvantages



May provide biased perspectives
Only represents perceptions – not hard data
Sharing opinions and views in a group setting may
be inhibiting
Should be combined with other methods because
may not represent whole community
29
Planning and Implementing the
Assessment (cont)
Public forums
 Purpose
= elicit information from a wide range
of residents in a series of public meetings
 How
to implement = develop list of invitees,
create list of questions, select strategically
located venue (use different sites and hold at
different times), publicize, use facilitator and
documenter, identify common themes
30
Planning and Implementing the
Assessment
Public forums
 Advantages:



Get opinions from a wide range of people
Promotes active involvement, community awareness,
and buy-in
Inexpensive, quick picture of community
 Disadvantages:





Requires good leadership
Opinions limited to those who attend
Lots of advance planning
May generate more questions than answers
May create unrealistic expectations
31
Planning and Implementing the
Assessment
Surveys
 Purpose
= collect information from a wide range of
respondents
 How
to implement = find or create carefully
developed instrument and administer through a
sampling procedure (may be face to face, personal
distribution and collection, self-administered in a group,
telephone, mailed), analyze results
32
Planning and Implementing the
Assessment
Surveys
 Advantages


Best approach for eliciting attitudes of broad range
of individuals
Data usually valid and reliable
 Disadvantages

Costly and requires time and expertise
Needs carefully selected tool and sampling
Subject to misinterpretation

Individuals may hesitate to answer questions
