National Minority AIDS Education and Training Center Capacity Building
Client: National Minority AIDS Education & Training
Center (NMAETC), Howard University
NMAETC is a national collaborative of clinicians
and subject matter experts who seek to build capacity and
increase cultural competence among clinics, community-based
organizations, and other health care providers offering
services to minority HIV-positive people. The goal of the
program is to integrate and mobilize all the components
of a clinic's operation to achieve measurable results,
such as increases in patient show rates, retention, numbers
of patients in treatment, adherence to treatment protocols,
and satisfaction with care, as well as improved referrals
and linkages within networks. The JBS Organization Development
Group worked with the NMAETC in the planning and design
of its capacity-building and cultural competence programs,
providing key conceptual models, procedures and tools, training
and curricula, and subject matter expertise. During the
implementation phase, the JBS OD Group continues to deliver
technical assistance, but the focus now is more on process
and meeting facilitation, coaching, and leadership development,
as well as strategy planning facilitation for new program
activities.
