The document discusses how to build an effective coalition. A coalition involves individuals or organizations working together for a common purpose to make better use of resources. Coalitions should be started to address urgent issues, empower communities, or provide important services. They are most needed when dramatic events occur, new information is available, funding becomes available, or an outside threat emerges. Coalitions work best when they include stakeholders, community leaders, and policymakers. The process of starting a coalition involves convening a planning group, developing a vision, recruiting members, holding initial meetings, and following up.
