FOR BETTER HEALTH OUTCOMES

Capacity Building for Maternal Health Community Based Organizations (CBOs)

Background

Through funding from a 5-year CDC Cooperative Agreement, Karna is working to understand what maternal health CBOs need to help them build capacity and provide support to more pregnant people. CBOs are trusted conduits of health information that have existing and established relationships with communities and often have tremendous reach in underserved and vulnerable populations. Many of these CBOs are small and under resourced, but they often have a big impact in the communities they serve. This project focuses on strengthening CBOs through organizational development, building collaboration opportunities, and staff training to improve equitable access of maternal health care services in their communities.
