Bridging Partnerships & Strategies
Power-building Partnerships for Health Cohorts
Since 2018, we’ve convened 4 Power-building Partnerships for Health (PPH) cohorts, and provided in-depth Technical Assistance to an additional PPH collaboration. PPH has helped health departments and community power-building organizations develop a deeper understanding of each other’s field, theory of change, and power.
