Building community capacity for effective programs requires collaborative interaction and trust. Sustained programs using diverse funding sources can increase community capacity, as shown in two Alabama communities.

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Community Psychology
  • Program Development

Background:

  • Community characteristics significantly influence the effectiveness of community-based programs.
  • Developing community capacity, including collaborative issue identification, goal setting, and resource mobilization, is crucial.
  • Research on community capacity development is limited by categorical funding structures that restrict intervention scope and duration.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate an approach for developing community capacity by integrating multiple categorical funding sources.
  • To assess the impact of sustained, multi-system community programs on community capacity.
  • To present quasi-experimental evidence from two Alabama communities.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized a quasi-experimental design to evaluate changes in community capacity.

  • Implemented a program approach that aggregated multiple categorical funding streams.
  • Focused on fostering inter-system collaboration and trust within communities.

    • Main Results:

    • Demonstrated increases in community capacity within the two studied Alabama communities.
    • Evidence suggests that sustained, multi-system programs can enhance collaborative potential.
    • The approach facilitated collective goal setting and resource mobilization.

    Conclusions:

    • Integrating diverse funding sources can overcome limitations and support sustained community programs.
    • This strategy effectively enhances community capacity for collaborative action.
    • Findings support the importance of addressing community characteristics for program success.
