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 captains 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

NAPWA and LCOA are also partner agencies and strive
to assist each other in carrying out their responsibilities.
For example, LCOA provides SABER Team Captains
with NLAAD information and technical assistance.

Monitoring & Evaluation
Evaluation Tool
42

A 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.)
Planning Tool #4: M & E
Logic Model


Modified NHTD Exercise
Action: Goal, issue, or problem to be addressed

community and/or testing event?
 Have: What resources do you already have to
implement a community and/or testing event?
 Team: Networks & Partnerships: What collaborations
do you have to have in order to get the resources you
need.

Taking the Next Steps
Next Steps: CRIS
Capacity Building Assistance Request Information System
49

Submit a CRIS Request
All CBA trainings are free of charge! You can request CBA the
following ways:



If you are funded by the CDC, you can access the
Capacity Building Request Information System (CRIS) via
this link: http://www.cdc.gov/cris/s2/s2login.aspx.
If you are not CDC-funded, you can request CBA services
through your local health department.
You may also contact NAPWA directly to help you start the
request process. If you need assistance, please feel free to
contact Vanessa Johnson at [email protected] or 240247-1018.
Next Steps: CRIS (cont.)
50



After the CDC approves the CBA request, NAPWA
will send a response within 48 hours to the
organization requesting CBA.
NAPWA will then contact the requesting
organization to schedule a preliminary call at a time
that is convenient for the organization.
NAPWA will then convene a conference call with the
organization and/or (prospective) Team Captains on
the next steps they will need to take to begin the
process of becoming a part of SABER.
