Technical Assistance

Supporting Effective Implementation

We take a capacity-building approach to technical assistance. Based upon our prior experiences and current projects, we provide exposure to current methods, strategies, and tools that your community or organization may need, but does not have the time to find. Working with a number of communities to implement the CAST tool, Brandn has helped sites better understand the technical aspects of the tool, how to adapt it for their setting, and provided consultation on the outcomes and recommendations identified by sites. This approach, of offering our technical understanding in service of our clients goals, is our TA model.
