Critique of the ModelBenefits• Real commitment to CB, since
grants are not guaranteed
• Training prior to funding• Availability of phased funding • Competitive RFA • CB from peers and local
resources = sustainability• Opportunity for growth based
on performance• Networking and recognition
Challenges• Risk of reverting back to original
state once funding/partnership ends
• Small CBOs vs. intermediate sized organizations or integrated networks
• Creation of unsustainable salary/benefit structures and infrastructure
• Limited opportunity for technical updates and quality assurance post-partnership
• USG specific
