Coordination/Collaboration & State Improvement Outcomes

PreviousTechnical AssistanceNextLeveraged Funding

Last updated 2 years ago

Coordination/collaboration activities are not required to be reported in the APR; however, such activities are a required activity of all Section 4 AT Act grantees. As such, when a grantee does not report at least one coordination and collaboration activity, it sends a message that they are not complying with legal requirements. Data from this section of the APR is used to populate the , which is frequently utilized by ACL to identify grantee activities to highlight in partnership activities.

Similarly, not reporting any state improvement outcomes is permissible but can be interpreted as a lack of program focus on systemic policy work that is critical to supporting access to and acquisition of AT. These can be thought of as “systems change” initiatives that result in new, improved, or expanded policy, program, or practice outcomes that increase access to and/or acquisition of AT.

Red Flag: No coordination/collaboration, or state improvement outcomes are reported.

This suggests the program is not complying with the AT Act requirements and/or the program is not as robust as is could/should be.
