Acción Mutua/Shared Action created a framework that is fluid and attends better to the needs of HIV prevention providers. Its current model consists of three main layers: Technology and Information Transfer, Skills Building,and ICBA. Each of them will produce different impact on the consumers. However, it is intended for these components to work together and supplement each other. For example, while an agency may receive assistance in adapting a curriculum for the target population (ICBA), they may also receive a Skills-building training to enhance the implementation of that particular intervention. All of them together will produce a greater impact than each of them individually.
Acción Mutua/Shared Action provides capacity building services through three delivery methods:
ICBA is the component that proves to be the more intense and effective service provided by Accion Mutua/ Shared Action. Through ICBA, Accion Mutua/Shared Action staff work one-on-one with an agency on needs specifically related to the implementation of their programs and target population. Some of the services include:
- Adapting DEBI for Latino Populations and Latino MSM
- Community and Program Needs Assessments
- Culturally Responsive and Linguistically Appropriate Strategies
- Program and Social Marketing
- HIV Prevention Materials Development
- Program Evaluation
- Recruitment and Retention
- Other areas, based on request
Skills-building group trainings are designed to address the most commonly shared technical core competencies needed to implement programs. Some of the trainings that Acción Mutua/Shared Action currently implements are:
Acción Mutua/ Shared Action presents printed and Web-based materials to make specialized information on HIV prevention more accessible to program staff.
These services are guided by a team of behavioral scientists and a community advisory board to best meet the diverse needs of Latino communities.
Power Point presentations of discussions of specific high-risk communities or special topics related to capacity building to implement HIV prevention for Latinos. The presentations posted on this site were previously broadcast through teleconferences and Internet presentations.
The Acción Mutua/Shared Action Resource Center provides population-specific broadsheets and skills-based technical bulletins to facilitate and sustain capacity building efforts.
To date, Acción Mutua/Shared Action has created and distributed several educational materials:
- Broadsheets by specific target population
- Technical bulletins:
- Evaluation Series
- Recruitment Series
- Formative Research/Community Needs Assessment Series
