Assessing Community Coalitions
Drug Strategies conducted a two-year study of community anti-drug coalitions in eleven cities where the Knight Foundation focused its community initiatives program. The goal of this effort was to help civic leaders, funding agencies, foundations, and government officials understand the key lessons that the coalitions have learned -- often the hard way -- in the past decade of experience.
In order to capture the wide variability of coalition impact, this study addresses a range of factors related to coalition evolution, implementation and outcomes. These factors include funding history, demography of coalition participants, agency representation, organizational structure, program goals, evaluation activities, and target indicators.
In this report, Drug Strategies identifies six elements that shape coalition effectiveness, discussed in the context of the coalitions they studied.
