Who I am Use of CTB
Hi!. I am Alex Nayve. I'm working for Salanga as the focal person for community-led monitoring, evaluation and learning (ColMEL). My primary role is to lead the development of the ColMEL methodology and accompany INGO partners and their local partners to pilot it in 3 countries.
The ColMEL is a component of community-led development (CLD) programming. I really appreciate the Community Tool Box because it provides access to CLD resources in a very organized way. I just love how CTB organized the resources into chapters and sections, plus all the section overviews, examples, tools and ppt. I would love to refer our partners on the ground to the CTB resources when I contribute to their capacity building soon. While I do read about a full chapter on participatory appraisal, design and evaluation in the CTB, I'd like to check whether there are chapters or sections that deal with participatory monitoring especially community-led monitoring. I will be very interested to receive resources on this topic because it is something that we really need. Thank you! Blessings and more power to CTB!

Who I am Use of CTB
Youth Empowerment Synergy (YES-Ghana) is an ECOSOC-accredited NGO at the forefront of youth development policy, practice, and research in Ghana. For more than 15 years, we provide tailored skills training for youth, leading to improvements in their leadership, financial literacy, entrepreneurship, and life planning skills. Through our service delivery, we provide education, skills training, and technical support to thousands of youth and helped them transition to self and wage employment. Our research has contributed to filling the gap in youth data and the evidence base for public policy. And, we continue to use our national appeal and grassroots constituency, through our Voices of Youth Coalition, to advocate and campaign for youth-inclusive policies at all levels.
YES-Ghana organised an innovative learning experience targeting representatives of youth-led organisations working at the community level to support and initiate especially local efforts at localising the SDGs. Before the learning experience, participants already benefited from an organisational capacity assessment revealing various strengths and weaknesses.

The training contents were tailored to address capacity gaps identified through the OCA exercise, while also providing a firm theoretical and practical foundation on sustainable development. Using the unique approach of the Community Tool Box, the Academy covered areas such as creating and maintaining coalitions and partnerships, assessing community needs and resources, analysing problems and goals, developing a framework or model of change, developing strategic and action plans, building leadership, developing an intervention, advocating for change and influencing policy development. Other areas include evaluating the initiative, implementing a social marketing effort, fundraising, improving organisational management and development, and sustaining initiatives.

The youth leaders from the various organisations were highly impressed with the rich content of the toolkit from the University of Kansas Community Toolbox. They could not hide their appreciation for the opportunity to learn using such a rich resource to improve the capacities of their organisations and how they implement their projects.

Who I am Use of CTB
My name is Dante, I am a community health educator & researcher here in Seattle, WA with Fred Hutch and The Office of Community Outreach & Engagement. I moved here from Raleigh, NC about 2 years ago, and since then I've become really passionate and involved my cancer-health and health disparities work for underserved communities. I love the work that I do and being very community-oriented. I have a 3 year old that keeps me busy and a wife that keeps me on my toes as well! We all support each other! Not much to tell about me. I originally started a career in biology, but came to learn more about public health and community work and decided to pursue my career and get my MPH. Studying the social determinants of health and using community-based participatory research is an important tool for me, I firmly believe that the solutions to many problem can come from working WITH the communities that we serve.
I discovered this resource in an email from my supervisor and the learning modules are fantastic, and it helps me to develop my community approach, as well as the connections that you have, and stories of success that I read about. This is a great tool to use! Would love to connect someday and compare notes! I also learned about a number of programs that are happening to support communities as well through the toolbox!

Who I am Use of CTB
I'm relatively new to my community and started volunteering for a local group that focuses on revitalizing a mostly retail corridor.

We've grown very quickly and there are a lot of passionate neighbors and business owners willing to collaborate to help the main street in our Louisville neighborhood (Bardstown Road in The Highlands) flourish as a vibrant, safe and unique neighborhood and business corridor.

We’re genuinely a community-run organization, which means the wants and needs of the community drive our goals and responses. We work with people from all over the community (neighbors, local businesses, existing community groups, building owners, among others) to better understand Bardstown Road’s unique challenges and desires.
I just learned about this tool thanks to the Center for Neighborhoods' Neighborhood Institute and am finding it really helpful. We linked to it on our resources page and I'm sharing the leadership information with our steering committee. I'm also loving the "take action" guidance to help us get more structure to our approaches and more more efficient and effective.
