FAQ
(Frequently Asked Questions)
Question One
24

What are the theories or best practices that
SABER is based on?
Response to Question One
25

Community Organizing
 SABER
is based on the principles of community
organizing.
 Community organizing is characterized by the
mobilizing of individuals within a particular
community. Individuals in leadership roles are
there to guide community members through the
process of planning for and obtaining community
change as well as to help create the mechanism
for the group to bring this change about.
Response to Question One (cont.)
26

Best Practices and Theories
 SABER
is an innovative community mobilization
framework. Nonetheless, over the course of five
years, NAPWA has determined that the following
best practices must be in place for SABER to
succeed and thrive:




Financial support to participating team leaders and community
coalitions to implement data collection activities.
Assistance with accessing reduced price or free HIV test kits.
Assistance with registration fees and lodging in order to
accompany NAPWA staff to national and regional trainings.
Clear criteria for participation and accessing assistance.
Question Two
27

How is SABER affiliated with the National
Latino AIDS Awareness Day (NLAAD)
and/or how does SABER support or
coordinate with NLAAD activities?
Response to Question Two
28




The Latino Commission on AIDS (LCOA) is the lead
agency for the National Latino AIDS Awareness Day
(NLAAD).
Both NAPWA and LCOA are funded by the CDC to
provide capacity building assistance to organizations
and health departments.
NAPWA and LCOA are also partner agencies and strive
to assist each other in carrying out their responsibilities.
For example, LCOA provides SABER Team Leaders
with NLAAD information and technical assistance.

Community Mapping
33

Community mapping is a exploratory process that
engages people in learning about their community so
that they can make informed decisions about where to
focus their efforts in creating sustainable community
networks and programs

Community mapping can help identify resources to
assist in creating and building capacity to support a
more comprehensive community system for services.
Exercise on Community Mapping
34
 Where
is the population you want to reach
located?
 Identify the neighborhood where the event could
be held
 Identify non-HIV resources that can be utilized to
help you reach the community and/or help you
with your testing event?
 Where will the HIV testing event take place?
 Would a church or a parking lot be used as a
venue for testing
 Where will community members be linked to
care?
Interested in Community Mapping?
35
 If
you are interested in learning more about
community mapping, the Latino Commission
on AIDS (LCOA) conducts trainings on
community mapping. Please call (212) 675
3288 and ask about it.
Monitoring & Evaluation
36

Tool that can help you plan your evaluation
A
logic model is a map that graphically illustrates
how your program activities will lead to the
expected short-term and long-term outcomes. A
logic model will make it clear whether your
program makes sense and whether the expected
outcomes are realistic given the planned activities.
In short, the model shows what your program is
expected to achieve and how it is expected to
work. (See the NHTD Exercise.)
National HIV Testing Day Logic Model
