2022 State Training and Technical Assistance Plan |
Overview and Purpose
The purpose of the State T/TA Plan Template is to provide a tool that can assist in the development of a summary of the collective T/TA resources and activities in a particular state related to building capacity to engage in innovative, high-impact practices that include:
- T/TA needs of local Community Action Agencies in the state; and
- T/TA resources available from key partners: the State CSBG Lead Agency, State Association, and Regional Performance and Innovation Consortium (RPIC); and
- T/TA strategies to be implemented in the upcoming year and the associated outcomes.
This template is provided as one of the Center of Excellence’s (COE) key T/TA goals: Facilitate the development of state T/TA plan templates to support communication and collaboration by developing a new model of engagement with diverse CSBG partners in service delivery.
All State CSBG Lead Agencies report their T/TA activities in their CSBG State Plans. State Associations also report on their T/TA activities, but often use different reporting formats for various funding sources (e.g., State CSBG Lead Agencies, RPICs). The purpose of the State T/TA Plan Template is to support regionally focused T/TA and collect this critical information into a single document to:
All State CSBG Lead Agencies report their T/TA activities in their CSBG State Plans.

The purpose of the State T/TA Plan Template is to support regionally focused T/TA and collect this critical information into a single document to:
- Support communication and collaboration at the state level on the planning and use of T/TA resources;
- Enhance the capacity of regional cooperation on T/TA by providing a uniform method for state CSBG networks to share information; and
- Strengthen the ability of the CSBG Network’s national partners to provide targeted T/TA on high-priority issues related to the capacity of agencies to engage in innovative, high-impact practices at the national, regional, and state levels; and
It is recommended that state CSBG networks (specifically the CSBG Lead Agency and the State Association) use this template as a way to combine information on T/TA needs and activities into a single document.
Because T/TA plans for FY22 should anticipate capacity-building to support implementation of highlighted initiatives and innovative, high-impact practices, it is important to be mindful of this project’s Core Values and Operating Principles.
